The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

As pointed out traditional samkhya will define mukti (liberation) as dissociation or escape *from* existence/embodiment. Videha for them is deliverance through release from the body and negation of the senses and feelings. It is withdrawal, but according to Sri Patanjali, liberation is not as easy as simply dying from the world literally or trashing it. Liberation comes from yoga (union) without attachment -- it's a fearless deep and total embrace without grasper, grasping or any object that is being grasped. Liberation rather is the death of the citta-vrtti, the ego (asmita), avidya (unawareness), karma and conditions, while the yogi takes rebirth in the beginningless mind, awakening into unbounded awareness.

Walking in nature is like walking with Brahma. Brahma it is said, breathes in and out the kalpas (multiverses). It is the yogic path/practice to become connected with source and thus act as a transconceptual meditation that transforms and unites us all. It is not necessary to put words or concepts to "it", but rather to directly experience it, feel connected, uncompounded, interdependent and at home as a part of a greater transconceptual union that goes all the way back to timeless source and stems forth from it in a timeless intimate pulsation (spanda) vibrating in the present as primordial presence -- as a reflexive impulse of primordial mind As such the latter is as much a wordless transconceptual path as is silent sitting non-analytical meditation.          

So nature (prakrti), should we consult with her in absorption as prakrti-layanam, will disclose/reveal the Long/Great Body of the Iroquois, the Great Integrity which links us all and which is not a separate physical body belonging to an individual ego (asmita) at all. Rather this BIG Body of the Great Integrity is the entire created universe as well as the three times and no time. This prakrti is infused with consciousness and intelligence and not only is it it's true essential nature, it penetrates prakrti completely when our hearts and eyes are open wide to see. This universal unimpeded intelligence is not limited only to to creation, but belongs to creativity, which is our own ancestral home that can be traced all the way back to the seed act of creation throughout history (all of time). Here we have to surrender up our individual physical body (deha) as well as all ego accoutrements in order to make this journey. There we identify with the LONG Body -- with All Our Relations as kin throughout time and place and we are informed by such. This is acognitive/transcognitive (asamprajnata) non-dual wisdom, not limited by dualistic mentation of asmita (limited ego identification of an I and it). This type of transpersonal acognitive relationship brings about unlimited knowledge should the yogi chose to lose one's ego identity and identify with the seed source which permeates the causal stream of the universe which is the very essence of our mind -- the innate wisdom or native Bodhi seed (bodhicitta) which awaits maturation within us all. That Big Mind is the Great Integrity and completion of the Long Body a samadhi of the highest caliber.

Especially when one identifies with the underlying formlessness (videha) that is united and underlies (layam) all of nature (prakrti), as the stainless purusa, one can see how prakrti-layanam is a super acognitive (asamprajnata) vehicle and teacher. Here instead of dissociation, renunciation, opposition, dvesa (aversion), or negation toward the body and nature, there is realization -- there exists kinship and a lack of separateness, rather an abundant integrity and an uninterrupted continuity is realized -- a formless (videha) quality which transcends the idea of a separate body. Rather the transpersonal personification of the LONG BODY pervades the entire universe (prakrti) as purusha's visage, countenance, reflection, or emanation. HERE is acknowledged and recognized. It is crucial not to confuse the emanation/expression with purusha (which is pure Now consciousness), but at the same time recognize the emanation as an integral part of the formless seed source (which is pure purusa consciousness). This integration of the created and uncreated (shakti/shiva -- prakrti/purusa) is available to those who have become reabsorbed (laya), re-united, and have reclaimed the birthright of their formless non-dual self nature in nature which is the unity of self in nature and nature in transpersonal Self (prakrti layanam). This transpersonal acknowledgement is not the result of ordinary cognition (pratyaya), but rather is asamprajnata formed by bhava-pratyaya, where perception is informed by transpersonal awareness. This taste of the universal intrinsic authentic true self is the dawning of swarupa (the realization of our true natural unconditioned self) where the matrix or veil of superficial appearances (maya) is cleansed revealing the Reality of Creator/Creation (Shiva/Shakti). It is not dependent upon form; rather it is achieved through recognizing the underlying authentic formless true nature of "Self" in
