A Seeker And A Seer

Seeker:	How can I awaken my Supermind? I have read Vernon Howard’s book, *The Power of Your Supermind, but I find that all I am doing is repeating certain psychological insights without realizing* my Supermind. Merely *believing* in such a transcendental consciousness doesn’t really do anything. What really turns it on, so to speak? I feel like I am just going around and around in circles in my head about it.
Seer:	Vernon Howard is a wonderful introduction to the *idea* of a Supermind Self-awakening, but as you have seen, he can only take you so far. If you want to take your next step, you will have to inquire more highly and deeply into the central core of your real being where your own Godself dwells. By thus pulling or collapsing your consciousness into its actual center, you will come upon your hidden, embryonic Supermind, which has the Supreme Energy of Nondual Bliss.
Seeker:	Theoretically I can understand your idea of an implosion of my consciousness, but yet again, just as with the Vernon Howard teaching, I feel like all I am going to do is study something like Zen or Vedanta and go around and around in my head about the peculiar terminologies of such Eastern self-help teachings.
Seer:	In spite of what you say, there are aspects in Eastern teachings like Zen, Vedanta and others that are superior to Vernon Howard’s teaching which are extremely helpful to bring your consciousness toward the necessary implosion. Vernon Howard himself investigated esoteric teachings from the East, which helped improve his own psychological self-change teachings. So I hope you will allow your inner light of truth to guide you into wider-reaching exploration of important spiritual teachings of the East. However, along with this you must get your bodily substances and energies into more pure and intensified states, which means learning to correct bad habits and perhaps repeat certain mantras in conjunction with your breathing. These are basic steps in Yoga that are indispensable to help you sustain higher states you might find through making certain breakthroughs or direct implosions. On one hand you prepare the ground through systematic self-education and self-improvement, while on the other hand you make occasional surges of central immediate breakthrough in the core. In Tibet among the real Siddhayogis, this is called the double path of *The Path of Means* and *The Path of Liberation*.
Seeker:	I can accept that I am going to need extensive new spiritual research and discipline, but I still feel that I should center myself in the inmost effort of core awakening of my Supermind through the implosion of my consciousness you speak of. How is it done?
Seer:	By meditating intensely on it where it counts the most in your own sense of constantly existing in Reality as a real and permanent Being.
Seeker:	I take it that you have experienced such a transcendental implosion of self-awakening.
Seer:	Of course. You know this intuitively in yourself from the Spirit of Guidance.
Seeker:	Yes, I feel a certain faith that you are an important teacher or guru for me of real inner realization and cosmic knowledge. I have some faith in you. I want what I somehow know you have already got. So, I want to know more how you arranged your inner implosion you speak of.
Seer:	My exact individual entry into that transcendental Divine realm of the Godself is unique to me. It is always unique for each individual. Merely vicariously hearing details of someone else’s Great Experience (*Mahanubhava) can even build up a subtle barrier by bringing you down into mere imagination. We must be very cautious about this. All of us who have attained to Self-realization agree that it is better to impart principles* and later, when the student is well-prepared through Yoga, to bless with breakthrough Divine Energy (*Mahakundalini* *Shaktipat) at the right moment when the Divine Potential from within has ripened to the point of needing that little boost from a Godman or Godwoman (Siddha* *Purusha*).
Seeker:	I have to do my homework!
Seer:	Yes! It includes both books *and* exercises, not just one or the other.
Seeker:	Can you recommend a good book on direct inner implosion of consciousness?
Seer:	*I Am That* by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
