◎Everything Returns to the Original Source
It is OSHO Bhagwan who speaks of a Samadhi between the sixth and seventh bodies. The relevant passage is as follows:
"In the sixth body, the mirror is not. Now only the cosmic is. You are lost. You are no more. The dreamer is not.
But without the dreamer, the dream can still exist. And when the dream exists without the dreamer, it looks like authentic reality. Because the mind is not, the thinker is not, whatsoever is known is all known. It becomes your knowledge.
The myth of creation comes and it drifts away. You are not, things just flow. There is no judge, no dreamer.
But the mind that is not, is still there. The mind that has been destroyed is still there—not as an individual, but as the cosmic whole. You are not, but Brahman is.
That's why the whole world is said to be Brahman's dream. This whole world is a dream, Maya. Not somebody's individual dream, but the dream of the total, the whole. You are not, but the total is dreaming."
(Quoted from "The Psychology of the Esoteric" by Osho, Meditation Society, p. 140)
Unless one has the image of the causal body's ascent eventually switching to the sixth body Atman, which then attempts to plunge into the central sun that is the seventh body Brahman, this passage might be incomprehensible. (Once again, I am impressed by the greatness of Dante's Daiji.)
He speaks of "the whole world is Brahman's dream," but if we say it is the dream of the seventh body Brahman, not the dream of the sixth body Atman, the question arises: who is dreaming? The entire world, which is the sixth body, is said to be the dream of the seventh body Brahman.
"Now the only distinction is whether the dream is substantial (positive) or not. If it is substantial, it is illusion, it is dream. Because in the ultimate sense, only non-substantiality (negative) exists.
When everything becomes part of the formless, when everything has returned to the original source, then everything is and is not simultaneously. Substantiality is the only factor that is left. It has to be transcended."
(Ibid., pp. 140-141)
So, when everything has "returned to the original source, then everything is and is not simultaneously," is the "everything is" the sixth body, and the "everything is not" the seventh body? Isn't "everything is not" the same as emptiness (śūnyatā, 色即是空)?
