coreSelf Shining

Yogeshwarananda was in my psyche on March 13, 2021. He investigated and described the state of the coreSelf where it is experienced subjectively as a shining, a radiance. This is not as a light but merely as a shining like the shining of a light or like the radiance, like the radiance of a star or sun.

The evidence, he said, is that this core exudes awareness in varying degrees, according to the medium of energy it is supported by or clashes with. It cannot be that it exists without support. It is always supported or denied as the case may be. It searches for support. It cannot be by itself. It always shifts to some level in the search for support (āśraẏa). It is always surrounded by some energy field which dulls, urges or enhances its awareness. Stupor and sleep occur when it is in a lowering influence which seems to dull its shining, its radiance.
