Excerpt from the book Serpent Vine on the Tree Spine by Gavin Shri Amneon, a book comparing the mystical systems of Kabbalah, Tantra, and Ayahusca Shamanism Available to purchase at: amneon.net/?wpsc-product=serpent-vine-on-the-tree-spine In Kabbalah the adept engages all faculties by rising on the planes through the layers of the Tree of Life, the rungs on the ladder of Jacob. When one reaches the level upon which chokmah and binah dwells (Aajnaa chakra), and by the power of ones chashmal (the garment of silent presence), opening the curtain and uniting the two sephiroth as one, one rises into the endless consciousness of kether and a pure connection to the divine being. In this the nothing, the ayin , no thing, is experienced. This ayin is the state of no mind, no self, no sense of soul, that acknowledges in ones consciousness that experience of ayin soph as the divine being, which cannot be compared to any thing. He is beyond all description and dimension. He is infinite and eternal. He is beyond all our reckoning and therefore we may only submit to the ayin. As we submit we feel ayin soph, the limitless being of the divine, and we expand with this, opening to greater possibilities of a perception upon our yechidah , our higher soul. In the ad adey ad da, in the eternity of eternities of conscious experience in the ayin soph we feel the light of God building in our consciousness, and soon we are compelled to return to creation anew, just as light was created from nothing in the void, and extended outwards to impel the universe to exist. Thus we ride the lightning bolt of creation, of Zeus or Thor, and in a instant we are clear, and have expanded in the mystical process into some thing more. This vajra vJa], this lightning bolt of awakening, this extension of ayin soph aur down the middle pillar, is instantaneous transformation! Samayaa smya. It is angelification, shaktipaata , transfiguration, enlightenment. In Tantra, in both Buddhist and Hindu strains, the mind is engaged in philosophy, science, the yoga of studying scripture, jnaana jaNa, and then through meditation the mind centralises in the nirvikalpa, nullifying all opposites, and through concentration, the mind dissolves into a supportless state, unsupported by thoughts, not out of ignoring them, out of conscious detachment. One may override instinct, habit, and cultural conditioning to release into a high state of bliss, a kaivalyam (, and truly sit in the clarity of mahaashuunya.
