Core-Self / Adjuncts Inquiries

When the core self is experienced and discovered as radiant awareness in the psyche space, does this imply automatic awareness and identification of the psyche adjuncts i.e. kundalini, buddhi and analytical orb?  

 

Discovery of a central observing sell consciousness does not automatically imply awareness or differentiation of the psychic adjuncts. In fact most people who get this realization of the central observing self-have no idea about the adjuncts because the plane of consciousness where the discovery is made may not have any type of differentiating ability, which will cause the self to not even know of the existence of the adjuncts.

 

If the driver of a car suddenly gets some objectivity, where a bright light sudden lights up in his head, he may become aware of himself as the driver but he may also simultaneously lose awareness of the engine, transmission, and wheels etc. which are components which are part of the car.

Or vice versa, if one identifies and separates the adjuncts, does one automatically become aware of the core self?

 

Separation and identification of the adjuncts usually means that the observing self is aware of itself in the process of doing this, or that the self serves as a vantage point from which to discover the adjuncts but there are experiences where the self loses track of itself and becomes so absorbed in an adjunct or in a combination of adjuncts, that it loses track of itself and becomes like if it is the adjuncts. Usually however when the yogi comes out of these states, he or she realizes what happened and can sort everything after the fact.

Would either of these discoveries, automatically empower the core self to take charge over the adjuncts?

 

Realizating that the adjuncts are there, knowing their particular functions and powers, does not in itself give the yogi power over the adjuncts. Development of such power comes later through specific practices.

 

A simply way to understand this is in the case of many persons who had a definite astral projection experience, or who took hallucinogenic drugs and experienced a subtle body. Even though these persons did this, we find that still in their normal life, they cannot act as if they are not the material body. They still cannot act as if they are the subtle bodies. Hence even an experience of transcendence is usually insufficient to cause a person to fully transcend material nature. In other words the force of material nature whereby it causes the spiritual self to identify with that nature, is so strong that even the knowledge with the experience of not being part of that is insufficient to cause a change in purview and lifestyle.
