Glossary of Terms Used in Steve Beckow’s Speech, “Ascension: The Bigger Picture”
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
The Trimurthy (three forms) of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are names given to the three gunas or cosmic forces of creation, preservation and transformation. The three gunas are called rajas (creation, Brahma), sattwa (preservation, Vishnu), and thamas (transformation, Shiva).
It is not generally known that the Trimurthy is the same as the gunas. The Divine Mother confirmed this relationship in a recent Hour with an Angel.
The three gunas refer to three phases of the creative universal vibration known as Aum. Aum is a sine wave whose upward phase is rajas or creation; whose top of the wave is sattwa or balance; and whose downward phase is thamas or transformation.
Brahmajnana
Brahmajnana means the direct knowledge of God. (Brahma = God, Jnana = Wisdom or in this case Knowledge). Brahmjnana occurs when the kundalini reaches the seventh chakra. It is also called Kevalya nirvikalpa samadhi.
Brahman, Atman and Shakti
Brahman, Atman and Shakti are Sanskrit terms for what in Hinduism is the same as that in Christianity which is know as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Brahman refers to the transcendental level of reality, the Void, the still and silent Heavenly Father.
Shakti refers to the phenomenal or material level of reality, the World, the active and sonic Holy Spirit. Shakti is also referred to as the Divine Mother, Prakriti/Procreatrix, Aum/Amen, the Word of God.
Prakriti (Sanskrit) and Procreatrix (Latin) mean the force which creates. Aum is the actual creative universal vibration or primal energy which Shakti is in form (in substance she is consciousness), the Word of God that creates, preserves and transforms.
The Atman refers to the transcendental in the phenomenal, the divine spark in the heart, the Son of God or Christ. It is also often referred to as the Self, the soul, the treasure buried in the field (of the body, in the heart), the Pearl of great price, the Great Fish among fish, the mustard seed that grew into a great tree.
