Every believer worships God but how many of them know what is the right way to approach the Gods, hardly a few, everyone worships God either to fulfil his desires or to achieve something in their life. Either they ask give me this or give me that, Oh! Father, or else I want to be this or that and their desires are endless. Do gods really love such people who worship them for their own selfish desires? No, absolutely not, even though gods do their duty to fulfil their desires but they all fail to receive the real grace from the gods.
Sankalpa (Hindu thought)
Everyone worships them asking various material goals, "I want a house", "I want to pass in exams", "I want to be a doctor", "I want my business to grow", "I want good wisdom", "I want knowledge", "I want a good job" and it goes on and on. In this part of the world this kind of worship is called Khand Upasana (Khand means individualistic or not wholistic). Rare are those who do Akhand Upasana or Nishkama Upasana (i.e. renouncing the fruits of your works).
What the Vedic rishis did understood very early is that work has been given free to us, we are not really doing any works at all by our own and yet the whole world is immersed in pride, everyone boasts himself that I achieved this, I did this, I created this but what they don't understand is that this kind of thinking is definitely not from our Father.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
How many of them really worship God saying, "Father, this is your world, this is your body, let everything go according to your will". Giving up Sankalpa means giving up your individuality, your whole personality, a life with no taste, a life with no existence. When the Sun God appeared to Yajnavalkya, the great sage, and asked him what he wants, he replied saying, "Give what this world wants". Then Sun God through Yajnavalkya gave the Shukla Yajurveda and the Isha Upanishad to the world.
Yes giving up Sankalpa is not easy, losing your individuality is not easy but the Vedic Rishis did gave up Sankalpa, so there must be something, some knowledge which prepares our mind to give up Sankalpa. This is what we shall discuss below.
In western psychology and meta-physics Ego is an abstract idea, not a physical entity but that's not how the pagan mystery religions viewed it. A view entirely lost to the western academic world.
Schroedinger was highly influenced by the Upanishads but he didn't dig deep and didn't knew how deep the rabbit hole goes. Let's understand and elaborate that statement by Erwin from the perspective of the pagan mystery religions.
In terms of Samkhya philosophy the external world consists of the five elements - (earth, water, fire, air and space), Manas(Mind), Buddhi(Intellect), Prana(The vital force), Ahankar (Ego or the indwelling God), Aion(Time). All these are anthropomorphic Aeons of the Pleroma.
We have to accept the fact that Purusha(The soul) is entrapped in nature (i.e. Prakrithi) and it is forcing us to make us desire either this or that, that's why our mind always wants to do something or thinks about something like "I have to plan my life like this", "I have to do this tomorrow" etc etc.
Everyone thinks this is what we are, our nature, but nope we all are in ignorance, what we think we are is our false ego, a false personality, the day one realizes that we are no where in this world-picture that we are neither this body, nor this mind, nor this intellect, nor these desires, nor this psyche, nor this ego then he will start giving up sankalpa.
Here we need to bring up the speculation of Rene Descartes, he speculated that an evil daemon can deceive him to believe in the existence of the external world, deceive him to believe in the existence of his own body and the existence of other bodies when no such external world or bodies exist, what would prevent the evil daemon to make us deceive that we are thinking on our own? He can easily deceive us and make us believe that we are thinking and doing works all by our own unless he himself reveals his true nature and the nature of the world. According to the pagan mystery religions that evil daemon is none other than Ego or the highest God of the Pleroma, The Holy Father, but unlike the deceiving evil daemon of Descartes, he is an all loving God and hence he sent the Savior Jesus Christ unto us to impart the Gnosis of the Father so that we can know our true nature and being.
So an initiate of pagan mystery religions first ascends and passes through all the heavens of five elements (i.e. earth, fire, water, air and space) who are basically anthropomorphic Aeons, if you have read Mithras Liturgy which exists in the Greek Magical Papyri then you can figure out as to what I am talking of here, then the initiate ascends to the heaven of the Intellect and then to Ego (King Helios Aion Mithras) and then Helios reveals Aion, the Time and only then you are really free from bondage and you become free and you become immortal. It is Time which does everything and it is what keeps the soul entrapped in this body. This is how esoteric the world-view of the Upanishads is and this is how deep the rabbit hole goes.
"People cannot see anything in the real realm unless they become it, if you have seen Christ you become Christ, if you have seen the spirit you become the spirit, if you have seen the Father you will become the Father"
- Gospel of Philip
So doing Akhand Upasana or giving up Sankalpa is the first step towards our redemption especially in the pagan mystery religions. As pagans this is how we view our world. We are not interested in evangelizing our religion to every nook and corner of the world because just by believing or by blind faith one shall not become free or be saved. Its a process which Sophia and the Holy Father are doing every time a new soul enters this world i.e. sowing the spiritual seed in all of us, in everyone of us and preparing everyone to return to the fullness of the Pleroma. We have no interests in evangelizing anyone because faith is a grace which one has to receive from God.
