‘This’ Mind is one of the most precious gifts of the cosmos. In fact, my Guru says that the Mind itself is your “youniverse”. Loaded with the ultra-hyper-network of billions of neurons, this embodied process called ‘mind’ is the greatest of the secrets of existence. The Mind is nothing, but like the water or a mirror, in which consciousness reflects itself and the whole existence seems to appear. Hence all that you see outside in the waking state is in your Mind only, all that you see inside your dream are in your Mind only, and all that is seen to be not seen in your deep sleep, are also in your Mind only.
We often hear that our Mind is like a computer. It is actually the reverse. The computer is like our Mind. When the scientists invented the computer, they tried to make it like our Mind and tried to develop its features like those of our Mind.
Hence, you can infer that the Mind should work through programming. Based on its operating system and the programs/softwares installed onto it, the Mind processes information, encodes them according to its filters, decodes them in alignment to its intention, and displays various behaviors and hence the consequences as well. And generally, Mind also downloads the viruses as the computer does.
As a computer system requires an OS (Operating System) and several softwares to run, our Mind also works through a Central Conscious OS (केन्द्रीय चैत्य शक्ति). This Basic OS also runs through a Root Conscious OS (मूल चैत्य शक्ति) and this Root Conscious OS works through a Supreme Conscious OS (परम चैत्य शक्ति).
Our Mind uses contributions of many “softwares” (which we call the Programs-of-Mind) to perform countless functions. We keep getting and developing these programs or softwares according to our own coding that we receive through different mediums like family, surroundings, media, society, reading and listening to world information & stories, schools etc. Many times, we feel that in the course of this continuous development & download process, we generally receive or develop many unwanted programs or behaviors as well, such as fear, phobia, depression, anxiety, frustration etc.
These are all such emotional-states that we do not want but and still develop them. This is due to our inner-programming. When these unwanted viruses enter our psychoneural-pathways, they destroy our psychological health and create barriers in proper functioning of our vital emotional programs, delete our inner-strength and de-synchronize our internal networks hence disbalancing “our” whole world.
When our computers get infected with viruses or bugs, we use some anti-virus or some type of upgradation with firewall protections. Similarly, we are now going to use an anti-virus cum firewall program for our conscious-computer called “mind”. This program is called NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and we are going to integrate the divine wisdom of Vedic-knowledge to it known as Atharva-Vigyan, making the integrated-methodology as AtharvaNLP as named by me.
As we know, NLP stands for NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING. We can rename it Neurological-Language Programming for easier understanding.
All the three words of NLP i.e., Neuro, Linguistic & Programming give us some deep message. Let us understand their significance first before going to understand its advanced version, i.e. Atharva NLP:
N – Neuro:
‘Neuro’ relates to Mind and our thinking-process. It refers to the structural working-system of our nervous system and the neural-pathways running inside us. It points towards our nervous system (the network working under the mind-process) through which we gather information using our five senses and then process them through our perception.
It is through filtration of information received by the five senses i.e., Sight (Visual Sense), Hearing (Auditory Sense), Touch (Kinesthetic Sense), Smell (Olfactory Sense) and Taste (Gustatory Sense), that we represent the entire world to ourselves. It is through the five senses that we receive the information. And we never actually experience the ‘raw’ reality. Rather, we create our own reality processing the information received from our senses and using the programming of our Mind.
I tell my students that reality itself is of three kinds: the transactional-reality, projected-reality, and the causal-reality, and beyond all these, the ultimate-truth is generally something totally different.
Everybody has his own mental filtering system through which he makes his own reality. All the information received is filtered through our “own” unique “PERSONAL CONDITIONING SIEVE” (our past experience, identity, values, beliefs etc) and then is converted into our experience.
L – Linguistic:
Linguistic refers to language. It means how we use the language of Mind and how it (set of specific visuals, audio, kinesthesia) mirrors our mental-world and affects us. Linguistic also refer to our ‘silent language’ i.e., our non-verbal behavior like our postures, gestures, beliefs and habits that reveal our thinking style.
NL – Neuro-Linguistic: The Combined term “Neuro-Linguistic” means the “language of mind”, i.e., the language in which Mind communicates, responds and reacts.
P – Programming:
Programming relates to the encodings and decoding of neuro-linguistic messages in our Mind, through our thoughts, behaviors and physiology. Our thoughts, feelings and actions are simply habitual programs that can be changed by upgrading our ‘mental-software’ (the word ‘programming’ is borrowed from computer science).
Atharva (अथर्वा): The vedic term “tharva” means “vibration / fluctuation / movement”, and hence the term “a-tharva” means without vibration or without movement. “atharva” signifies the power of Mind that is stable, that is without movement, without fluctuation, without ripples. When the reflected-consciousness becomes still or stable, it automatically acquires its union with its supreme-state of existence-conscious-bliss, or Sat-Chit-Ananda. This is the highest yoga.
The reflected-consciousness expresses itself as the Mind. And in the Samadhi Pada of Yogasutra,Sage Patanjalisays: “yogah chittavrutti nirodhah” (1.2), i.e. the cessation of movements or fluctuations in the consciousness is yoga. The sage further says : “tada drastuh svarupe avasthaanam” (1.3), i.e. then (when still, stable), the seer (soul, the true consciousness) dwells in his own true-splendor. And telling about the other state, the Sage tells: “vrutti sarupyam itaratra” (1.4) i.e. at the other times, the seer identifies with the fluctuating (moving or wavering) consciousness.
So, to achieve the highest state of consciousness, and hence to elevate the Mind to the level of the god-mind, the Atharva-Sthiti (unwavering state) of Mind is necessary.
The Atharva NLP tends to achieve that for the highest, most enlightened and the strongest re-imprinting and re-programming of the Mind.
“Athar” in Sanskrit means “divine fire” … and sage Atharva brought the divine-fire of heaven to the earth. It is said that this fire is nothing but the energy of the inner enlightened-self, and the reflected-consciousness or Maaya uses this light to project the whole simulated universe.
The Atharva-Veda contains the encoded-secrets of this vigyanam.
Hence, I have pre-fixed my discovery of spiritual NLP with the word “Atharva,” and this version is called Atharva NLP.
