The Antahkara- Pathway to the Higher Self


This week, I thought I would share some amazing information I recently found about the soul. The soul is a subject I have been deeply interested in for a long time. I have noticed that most people entertain thoughts about the soul and believe in one (certainly their own) but few know much at all about it. For many, the worst possible disparaging remark to make of another is to say they are “soulless.” There is actually a website online you can go to where you can unload your soul-literally get rid of it for a fee! (I’m not going to share the link because I think this is the silliest thing I’ve ever heard).
But aside from the silliness, some very interesting information has caught my eye regarding the Antahkarana, a Sanskrit word for “Rainbow Bridge” -a conduit or pathway to the higher self. The suggestion is that the Antahkarana is a cord which starts as a single strand of light connecting the soul to the mind of God or Source. This is also “consciousness.” Further strands grow through meditation creating a nurturing relationship with the soul- which has always been with us (we are our soul) but may seem distant or invisible. Meditation literally adds fibers to the strand as we recognize our true self and not our appendages (physical body, material world, ego, etc.)
Meditation allows us to experience our soul directly. Now that we have connected to the Antahkarana we can build on this strand in two additional ways; through selfless service and through abstract thought, especially those abstractions which remind us of the unity of all things. Finally there is an expression that “to find the path one must become the path.” Outward activity and life choices we make are not as important as the inner consistent work of being authentic, loving and guided by a higher purpose. The outer life in this regard becomes a representation of our level of consciousness.
So the next time you feel the urge to meditate, perhaps you’ll think of these strands of light being wound deeply around each other as your soul strands and know that you are doing yourself a world of good towards higher consciousness.
