Changing the kleshas
Following my shift in consciousness I invested regarding 5 years in a joyous state. Emotions seemed yet occurred to pass through and I really did not have the sense of being driven by them.
About 2 years ago I began to experience extremely strong emotions. It was as though the feelings were instantly back and the handwear covers were off. Things that had actually not bothered me whatsoever, instantly appeared very vital and eventually I needed to admit that they were certainly driving me. I discovered this really complex. About a year ago, I met an Indian gentleman that is a Hindu and has researched thoroughly because practice but also in the Buddhist custom. He was able to assist me with a description. He makes a distinction between levels of Samadhi and degrees of enlightenment. He said that there are 4 degrees of Samadhi which can be experienced in a body and that the change I experienced in 2002 took me to the third level. I had actually defined it as feeling as though nobody was driving the bus and he said that I might think of it as moving from a fairly little bus, to a big bus, so significant that I could no longer discover the motoring seat. The chauffeur was still there yet at a subtler level. There are additionally 4 degrees of knowledge which can be experienced in a human body and the first degree is achieved when the kleshas of incorrect view, question, avarice and envy are gone. He claimed that through the concept meditation I had actually done I had taken care of the branches and trunk of the kleshas but that the roots were still there, therefore the strong feelings. I’ve given that researched a few of this in Theravada Buddhist books and have actually additionally checked out Joe Dispenza’s “Evolve Your Brain”. After a large shift, the rule didn’t seem to do anything any longer, so I hadn’t had an everyday technique since then. Regarding six months ago I discovered vipassana meditation from my Indian pal throughout a 10-day silent retreat that he held for a little group. My program now has to do with 2-3 hours in the morning comprising physical yoga exercise, yogic breathing and vipassana reflection. I additionally do concerning an hour of vipassana meditation at night. I am enjoying this and feel it is right for me right now, however, I’m finding these really solid feelings fairly tough to manage although I currently have a better understanding of what is going on. I have one more 10-day silent resort turning up soon so I’m sure that will certainly help.
I would certainly be really thankful for your insight.
