B Steven Kosslyn, at the end of his presentation, had expressed doubts about the notion of pure awareness. Introspection, the act of looking within one’s own mind, he believes, can’t occur without mental imagery, for what we become aware of when we introspect will always be some sensory or mental image. Anne Harrington, a historian of science at Harvard University, had then opened the discussion, claiming that the Western scientific tradition has no concept like that of pure awareness and hence wondering whether there’s any way that brain scientists can begin to engage with Buddhists on this fundamental issue.

KY Kriya Yoga Master, Yogivah Giri recently revealed some of the secrets of the Masters:

“By lifting the attention to the third eye or the ajna chakra you can go into meditation immediately. It works as a switch, and you can switch from an outgoing consciousness to a state of deep meditation at will when you learn how. It need not take long to get into meditation. It is simply a matter of directing attention, and with the kriya yoga methods, you can do it scientifically and easily. The third eye can be used as a mirror to reflect anything at any point in space. Look within and as you wish to know anything about the condition of the body and you will see the inner body parts reflected there. This can be done with the bodies of others also. You can also tune in with anyone at any point in space, in this physical world, and beyond. Calmly look into the third eye, feel and tune to their frequency. As you do this, you will draw them into your vision and see them as they are, and know everything about them. Their mental attitude, their state of health, level of consciousness, anything at all. This is done objectively without becoming involved. When you see them like this they are not always aware of it. Sometimes you can see them and contact them mentally and they know it and they can commune with you, and you with them. This method of astral television is how the Masters keep in touch with their disciples and with others on this plane and beyond, in the astral or other dimensions and on other planets. This will be the method of communication as we progress into the higher ages of spiritual awareness in the future. Time and space is no barrier for this ability. The only barrier is your current inability to attune to the right level of consciousness. Living from the heart and not the head is to feel the unity of all life that wants to fulfill itself through a life of love, sacrifice, and selfless service. Love is keen on giving instead of taking. Love derives its power to express from the inmost spiritual urge, expressing itself through the immediate intuitions of the inner life of stillness and joy. True devotion and love does not care about the proofs or the intellectual corroborations that the mind seeks. The head and minds objective is saturated with multiplicity and separateness and it feeds the egocentric tendencies that divide various spiritual lineages, humanity at large and make ones spiritual beliefs and opinions petty, argumentative, selfish, narrow and possessive. Blessed are those who have been given the gift of God and Guru's true love. The awakened heart has the experience of the warm glow of love, begins to have the glimpses of the unity of spirit and thus seek expression through pure sattvic self-giving tendencies that unite all true Kriyabans and humanity and inspires all to be more selfless and generous.”

MAXWELLS DEMON I have derived another definition of consciousness based on Physics : A system which tries to regulate the entropy#1 of the system, which its part of, as per will is a conscious entity.

#1entropy: often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

As per second law of thermodynamics: An other wise unsupervised system, the overall entropy will always decrease.
Then there is another argument: Maxwell's demon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon

It says if we introduce a conscious entity in it, it can regulate the entropy of the system.

AB  Many Indian and Tibetan contemplative scholars and practitioners would be equally dismissive of the proposition that consciousness is a wholly biological process supported by the brain

B We must also understand how this kind of knowledge grows out of an ethical concern with human suffering and liberation, as well as a deep existential understanding of the human fear of death.

B MARA

Mara' is the main demon of all desire he is everywhere always, Tempting Everyone.

Also to be honest traditions vary widely across buddhism more than any other culure/religion. So yeah the tradition may go back decades or even centuries finding out where and when that tradition consisted might be difficult.

Hope that helps. And yes Mara is very much the real devil in buddhism

B ETC 

During a lecture, a student asked Shunryu Suzuki, the Buddhist priest who helped bring Zen to America, if he could sum up the Buddha’s teachings in a nutshell. To everyone’s surprise, Suzuki answered. “Everything changes,” he said. It was as simple as that. 

###################

On a rational level, we all know this. Seasons pass, the lush leaves of spring transform to the vibrant, dying foliage of autumn. People grow older, wither with time, and pass away. On my New York City block, a new building stretches up to the sky where an old one sat just a few years ago. All of it is a part of the flow of life. “Everything changes.” Life is impermanent.

###################

B  A goalless practice is about being right here in each moment without any conceptual objective in mind. It means giving up conceptual thinking and concepts, putting the brakes on constantly doing, releasing the need to be in control, and starting to just be in the world as you are. It means sitting with the fact that nothing is permanent, that everything is changing, and that is OK. I think of it as watching the clouds float by on a sunny day. Or, as Soto Zen teacher “Homeless” Kodo Sawaki Roshi said long ago, “Zazen is good for nothing!”

######################

B As Pema Chodron says in her book When Things Fall Apart, “To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s-land. To experience each moment as completely new and fresh.” For my millennial patients, I would add, to live fully doesn’t mean to solve the many crises of modern life—or to fix oneself. To live fully means to be in touch with the impermanence of living in the service of greater compassion and equanimity, like a steady bamboo reed on a windy day.

B The Mantra of Samantabhadra is OM SAMANTABHADRA MAHAMETTA HUM.

Om is beyond words the naturally occurring living dharmakaya.

Samantabhadra is the timeless state of all-inclusive perfect oneness, which is completely good and cannot be refuted. The expanse of spacious, open, fundamentally ungraspable conversation; braidings of languaging and emotions weaving Samantabhadra in deep blue aspect represents the expanse of spacious, open, fundamentally ungraspable conversation; braidings of languaging and emotions weaving Samantabhadra in deep blue aspect represents the expanse of spacious, open, fundamental. In the process of bringing forth worlds, they work together in and through each other. Samantabhadri in its purest form.

Mahametta: Samantabhadra is great love (Mahametta), a capacity for magnanimous acceptance of the legitimacy of ‘other’ in dynamic co-existence with oneself, rooted in the growing biology of love, intimacy, and mutually interdependent responsiveness.

Hum : The flawless co-emergence (sahaja) – the seamless integration – of all the attributes listed above.
