#39. See As If For The First Time | Vigyan Bhairav Tantra

Namaste sannyasa family and everyone.

A very warm welcome to all of you in this daily live meditation session with me,

Dhyansay.

We are meditating on 112 meditation techniques of Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.

And it happened in Portugal in a place called Nazare.

A place famous for huge waves,

Biggest waves in the whole world.

Surfers from all over the world,

They dream to go and surf one day at Nazare.

It is the Mecca of all the surfers.

The waves are so huge,

So magnificent,

So powerful that you just cannot believe your eyes that nature can be so powerful,

That nature can be such.

And there are daredevils,

There are those,

These life forms,

Human beings who have the courage to ride in harmony with that nature.

It happened on this seaside of Nazare.

A very young lovely meditator was taking a walk,

Was alone taking a walk looking at this scenery,

This magnificence of nature,

Of the waves of Nazare.

And out of nowhere,

A man with a long beard appeared.

He said,

What if just now a tsunami comes,

Where will you run to?

He looked at the girl,

He said,

What if a tsunami just came right now,

Where will you run to?

The girl,

The young meditator,

She laughed,

She thought,

What a joke.

And it struck off a conversation with that man,

With that stranger on that seaside,

In the lap of nature,

In the magnificence of nature.

And the conversation went on to discussing life and death and so on,

And went into a completely different direction.

But what this young meditator missed out on is that this old man,

This bearded old man,

He felt the energies of the meditator.

And he was trying to tell the meditator that yes,

This tsunami is coming.

The tsunami that you have always wished for deep down is coming,

Where will you run to now?

This tsunami,

This spiritual transformation,

This energy unleashing that happens with meditation,

That happens as you are unleashing,

Unfolding your consciousness,

Your energies are liberating in this process.

A tsunami,

A great tsunami arises in your life.

It is an irony that you come to meditation to hold on to something,

So that you get some anchor in your life.

But it is not an anchor.

It is a tsunami that takes all that you have been carrying all throughout your life in yourself as a past,

As all those repressions,

Suppressions that you call as yourself,

It takes away everything.

It washes away everything.

This old bearded man is trying to tell the young girl,

Are you ready for this tsunami?

This tsunami is coming,

Not only for you,

But for every meditator.

This tsunami is coming.

If you are diligent on your path of meditation,

If you connect to the vibration of tantra that is available in every session here,

If you are open and receptive to this vibration,

A tsunami has to come to wipe away all your past,

Whatever you consider yourself as the past,

Whatever you are holding on to,

All will be wiped away,

All will be washed away and a new,

Completely new being will emerge.

That new being is you.

That new being is the flowering,

Is the unfolding of your consciousness.

That new being arises out of the liberation of your energies.

You as energies are kept so small,

So contracted all throughout your lives,

You don't even realize how powerful you are,

What energy you have,

Bigger than any wave in the world,

Bigger than any nazaray,

Bigger than anything you can ever see outside in the world,

The energy that you are is that huge,

That there is no way to describe that.

In yoga,

In tantra,

That energy is known as Kundalini.

The reference,

The label given to that energy is Kundalini.

As you come in contact with the vibration of tantra,

As you allow this vibration of tantra,

Penetrate deep in you,

Awaken this energy,

This Kundalini,

It rises in you,

It liberates you,

It washes away everything that you have been carrying in you all throughout,

All what you have learned from all these sources,

From your education,

From your culture,

From your bringing up,

All is washed away,

Everything is washed away,

What is remaining is simply pure you and a new way of approaching life with love,

With truth,

With connection,

With all what is valuable,

Everything that is not valuable,

That is not serving your truth,

Your true self is washed away.

See how much fear,

How much negativity,

How much repression we all carry,

Putting our energies,

Contracting our energies,

Making them so small,

Making us feel like an insignificant being in life.

So much contraction,

So much fear,

And we do this to ourselves,

We do this to everyone else.

A few days back,

I was overhearing a father in a skiing area,

Talking to his son,

A very intelligent man,

The father,

A very intelligent and successful man,

Talking to his son,

A nine-year-old son,

Saying,

Be careful,

Don't go here,

Don't go there,

Don't go beyond the boundaries,

Don't go beyond the lanes where you are supposed to ski,

Because there is danger,

There is fear,

If someone takes you there,

If your friends want to go there,

Let them go,

You don't go there,

There is danger there.

So much fear unconsciously,

This intelligent person is imparting onto the child,

The child is going to live in this fear,

Is going to be confined,

The energies of the child is going to be confined forever in those lanes,

And the child will only go in those lanes forever wishing he could have once seen what is beyond the lanes.

And life happens beyond the lanes,

In the lanes is what you do in your daily mundane life,

But the life,

The joy,

The love,

The freedom,

All the beautiful things of life,

They happen beyond the lanes.

So to come out of this own fear so that we don't condition ourselves and we don't condition everyone,

Even our loved ones around us,

This meditation,

This vibration of tantra is the path of liberating oneself of all these contractions,

Of all these fears,

Of all this what we are carrying,

All the teachings that we are carrying.

When you come to these sessions,

When you tune into the space of tantra,

Of this meditation,

When you come into contact with other meditators in our community,

Come as a tabula rasa,

Come as a fresh person,

Leave all these what you had learned before aside,

All your religious teachings,

All your own versions,

What you had liked,

What you had disliked,

Leave all of what you have been carrying with you aside,

Otherwise you will miss this vibration that is happening alive here.

This vibration is not a repetition,

This vibration is very new,

Feel this flow,

This happening in this very moment,

This very moment,

This very aliveness,

This very vibration of tantra will never be the same again,

Will never come to you again.

If you are busy with what you had learned in your own religious versions,

In your own learnings,

In your own teachings,

Whatever you have learned from wherever,

If you are busy just validating that,

Or in that contemplation,

You will miss the vibration.

So if you want to be a part of this space,

If you want the tsunami to come,

To wipe away the past and give you a new life or love of truth and connection,

Be in these vibrations as a completely new,

Completely open,

Leaving all your past behind,

Leaving all of that aside in this space,

In the sharing with meditators,

In the community and wherever you are.

Let us listen to what Bhairava has to say in Vigyan Bhairava Tantra to help us drop all this past and be new once again.

Bhairava says,

See as if for the first time,

Seven words,

So potent,

So profound,

Let me repeat if you have missed.

See as if for the first time,

So concise,

But a great message here,

A great technique,

See as if for the first time.

Before you can appreciate the technique,

Acknowledge in your own contemplations that all what you are doing in life is repeating,

Same thing over and over again,

What you had learnt in your childhood,

What you had learnt from here and there,

You are simply repeating.

It is like a film,

Like a while in front of your eyes,

Always showing you the same picture.

Wherever you go,

Whosoever you meet,

You meet your family,

You meet other friends,

You go outside,

You see nature,

What you are doing is you are simply repeating what you had seen before.

When you even meet someone that you know at your home,

Your spouse,

Your parents,

Your kids,

You have been seeing their face over and over again that you somehow have stopped looking at them,

You have not even paid attention to them anymore,

Forget about the nature outside,

Which is ever changing.

When you go out in the nature,

The same view you are repeating all the time and by and by,

You only see what you had seen before.

You never see things for the very first time.

So what here Bhairava is urging is you to have these new eyes,

Have these new ears,

Have these new senses,

New perceptions,

Giving yourself that openness to see everything as if for the very first time.

Like a child,

When the child arrives into this world,

The eyes he has to look into the world for the very first time,

The same eyes if you bring to your daily life,

When you now meet your loved ones,

Take a look at them,

Their eyes,

Their face,

Their nose,

Their hair,

Their body,

As if you are looking at them for the very first time.

When you go out of your house into the nature,

When you take a look at the sky,

The sunshine,

The grass,

Anything,

Take a look at it as if you are looking at it for the very first time,

As if you don't know that at all,

You have no reference from the past what this means.

If you bring this newness,

This looking at things,

Perceiving things for the very first time,

A great transformation awaits you.

If you do this for a few days in your life,

That whenever you look at something,

You look at it as if it is for the very first time.

The same person in front of you,

The same object in front of you,

The same chair,

The same table,

The same person,

The same outside,

But if you look at it as if you are looking at it for the first time,

You will realize that it is never the same.

Even the animate,

Inanimate,

Every,

All without exception is never the same.

And in that freshness,

In that looking for the first time,

You come in contact with the flow of life.

And all that you have to do is ride that wave and be always in the lap of nature,

In the lap of existence,

Flowing with this existence.

So how to do this as a meditation technique in few moments of silence?

You close your eyes,

You simply bring your awareness inwards,

And whatever arises in your consciousness,

Whatever the sense of your body,

The sense of your breath,

The noises from outside,

The thoughts,

Anything that arises in you,

You look at it,

You perceive it as if it is coming to you for the very first time.

You see it for the very first time,

You observe it for the very first time.

You don't get involved in it,

You don't get carried away with it,

You simply observe it.

You simply observe as if you are seeing it for the very first time.

Closing your eyes,

Hearing whatever is happening for the very first time.

Your breath for the very first time.

Your body for the very first time.

Your thoughts for the very first time.

Your sensations for the very first time.

Put yourself in this process and see what happens.

Please close your eyes and take a posture that is comfortable for you.

With your body,

Alert yet relaxed.

Upright posture with your head,

Neck and back.

And with every breath,

Finding a restful posture.

Shifting your awareness inwards and simply observing whatever arises in your consciousness,

In your perception,

As if you are seeing it for the very first time.

Feeling the body as if for the very first time.

Observing the mind,

The thoughts as if for the very first time.

The very first time.

The very first time.

The very first time.

The very first time.

The very first time.

The very first time.

The ambient noises.

Sensations within.

Observe.

As if they are there for the very first time.

You You You Whatever arises In your consciousness Don't suppress it Let it rise And disappear you simply observe as if For the very first time You You Be in this moment As if For the very first time You You You You You And let go of the technique You You You You Allowing your energies to reorganize You You simply remain silent and aware You You Very gently and slowly May open your eyes as if for the very first time You maintaining This awareness Silence and This looking seeing Everything as for the very first time Take this in your daily life Do everything as if for the very first time And see what transformation it brings to your ordinary life To your life that you have been living all throughout the time The same life lived as if for the very first time If this vibration of Tantra touched you deeply somewhere Where you started to resonate Where the energies felt that yes something struck and it will rise Allow that unfoldment to happen And for that unfoldment If you wish to remain connected with this space,

With this energy You are more than welcome to join a community of meditators Who live this unfoldment all the time in their life Not just in the moments of meditation If you are called for that please write me an email to apply by giving your introduction By describing your calling and what you would like to give back to the community Thank you very much Namaste
