into each other, and it becomes a six-pointed star, that is the seal of Solomon. The heart is the seal of Solomon.
Once you have opened the heart, then you are available for the highest possibilities. Below the heart you remain man; beyond the heart you have become superman.
After the heart center there is the throat center, then there is the third-eye center, and then sahasrar.
Heart is feeling love. Heart is absorbing love, becoming love. Throat is expression, communication, sharing, giving it to others. And if you give love to others, then the third-eye center starts functioning. Once you start giving, you go higher and higher. A person who goes on taking goes lower and lower and lower. A person who goes on giving goes higher and higher and higher. A miser is the worst possibility a man can fall into, and a sharer is the greatest possibility that a man can become available to.
Five bodies, five mahabhutas, and five centers plus two bridges. This is the framework, the map. Behind this framework is the whole effort of the yogin, of bringing SAMYAMA to every nook and comer, so one becomes enlightened, full of light. Now the sutras.
THE POWER OF CONTACTING THE STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE MENTAL BODY (MANUMAYA SHARIR)
AND THEREFORE INCONCEIVABLE
IS CALLED MAHAVIDEHA.
THROUGH THIS POWER
THE COVERING OF THE LIGHT IS DESTROYED.
Once you are beyond the mind body, for the first time you become aware that you are not the mind but the witness. Below the mind you remain identified with it. Once you know that thoughts, mental images, ideas, they are just objects, floating clouds in your consciousness; you are separate from them -- immediately.
"The power of contacting the state of consciousness which is outside the mental body and therefore inconceivable is called mahavideha." You become beyond body. mahavideha means one who is beyond body, one who is no longer confined to any body, one who knows that he is not the body, gross or subtle, one who knows that he is infinite, with no boundaries. Mahavideha means one who has come to feel that he has no boundaries. All boundaries
