Each is supported by a level of consciousness, and is experienced by any one who is awakened to their existence by transmission of the Transcendental Centre-Force.
Therefore even the tiniest particle enfolds all the levels of consciousness. In one sense it epitomises its entire development or manifestation. The return to the awareness of all these proceeds outwardly by seeing Nature, and in respect of inwardness through intuition or central seeing. (The Samkhya scope of manifestation starts with Nature in its subtlest undifferentiated condition, though it is said to enfold all the three forces or constituents of sattva, rajas and tamas. The first is the vast manifestation called Mahat, which differentiates into many soul-making or individuating points beginning the individual creation. The development of manifestation proceeds from awareness towards activity which tends to lose awareness and ends up in knowing, doing and being known and done. This concept is seen among the Jains who hold that activity deposits matter called pudgala and is capable of infiltrating the consciousness or jiva as centre, and building around it a karma-sarira that limits the movement and freedom of the individual soul or centre (jiva). Modern physics is aware of this twofold character of all matter - it is both a particle and a wave (wavicle). The interconvertibility of these is one of the major discoveries of Modern Physics. In ancient tantra sastra this is the basic conception of the subtlest movement becoming gross or solid matter. It is also seen that matter requires motion, though it is inwardly congealed motion - a motion in terrible bond of repetition, in which consciousness has become thoroughly veiled, waiting to be released by an external force of highest intensity.
Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga thus explains, simply, the actuality of this double process - the consciousness-force gradually descending and becoming matter, and matter gradually ascending and becoming consciousness-force.)
Picture
It is in the yogic consciousness that we begin to observe these twofold processes operating in many ways. The lower mind has to be quietened or restrained from flowing out and canalised to flow into the higher mind. The luminous, upward movement to the higher levels of mind, from pinda to
