Vijnana Bhairava Tantra 33 Rising Awareness Up the Sky, A Tree, A Wall, A Moutain Or Another'Body

Le lac Dal au Cachemire

In that verse 33, we learn of the same practice as in verse 29, rising Kundalini. But here, instead of Her rising through our "own" body, we rise along with Her in another's body, or up through a wall, or the sky, of a mountain, a tree, etc :

īdṛśena krameṇaiva yatra kutrāpi cintanā |
śūnye kuḍye pare pātre svayaṃ līnā varapradā || 33 ||
"By that very process (of the twelve steps of rising throught the subtle body),
wherever (one projects one's) awareness (cintanā)
- (that is), in empty (sky), in a wall,
in another (body or) in a (worthy) vessel, (like a good disciple),
She Whi Is the Giver of Boons will (go back) hide into Herself."

She will "ascend" and open up, go back to her original state of naked open silence. The fact that individual awareness (cintanā) and universal awareness (varapradā) are in the same case (sāmānādhikaraṇya) suggests that they are, in truth, one and the same awareness. Thus, this "practice" is not a case of going from one place to another, but of recognizing one's original state.
