He said, that the old seers, being masters of awareness, applied the expertise to their own glows of awareness and made them expand to inconceivable limits. They actually aimed at lighting up all the emanations inside their cocoons, one band at a time. They succeeded, but oddly enough the accomplishment of lighting up one band at a time was instrumental in their becoming imprisoned in the quagmire of the second attention.
Let me put this in terms of experience that I am sure we are all familiar with, perhaps this will bring this particular paragraph out of the obscurity in which it appears to be shrouded.
applied the expertise to their own glows of awareness and made them expand to inconceivable limits.
Have you ever had those feelings of expansion. Some times they are quite delicious other times a little nauseating. It happens within. You cannot quite put words to it but you know it is occurring. You know growth or attainment is occurring.
In sorcery terms the emanations inside the cocoon are aligning with the appropriate emanations outside the cocoon. But for most these kind of alignments don’t happen everyday. What is happening again in sorcery terms... They actually aimed at lighting up all the emanations inside their cocoons, one band at a time.
Now I am sure that most of us have not actually sat down and formed the intent...I am going to align my internal emanations one band at a time!.....right?
But if we are not informed about the immediacy of the this other option of the third attention then it is our ignorance that propels us in the direction of “spiritual growth” tediously and painstaking working so hard for our development into ever EXPANDING regions, worlds without end amen! The second attention itself lends itself to these ever expanding possibilities but they do not appear like a quagmire that can imprison us they appear like spiritual growth! Imprison is perhaps a harsh word in this regard. Although true, because of our attachment to the kind of spiritual growth highlighted above we would never view it as imprisonment. So that is why I prefer allure or glamor.
