My vision.
    #26801701 - 07/03/20 03:39 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hey all. My first post on here and just wanted to thank everyone for all the valuable info. My journey is nearing fruiting stages when that time comes I'll post more about it. I took some friends a few days ago and for a solid hour I had this vision, it was a heart it slowly morphed into having faint beats along with a face eventually emerging. Behind it was a tree and at the base was a small cave, the heart then slowly retreated back to the cave and then stared back at me from the darkness until I opened my eyes. Any thoughts or interpretations of this? I have my own of course but would like to hear others.

The Hridayam means Heart Cave. It is a symbol and symbols, unlike signs, are living psychic realities according to Jung. The Heart Cave is a deeper symbol than the Anahata chakra found in the astral (sukshma sarira) body physiology of Yoga. It may represent the Causal Body (which is not really a 'body' in the sense of limbs howsoever subtle, but a plane, a plenum void). At any rate, it is an important symbol for Ramana Maharshi's school of Advaitic (Non-Dualist) Yoga where it is the 'portal' to The Self. So with the Hridayam you have a symbolic convergence of heart + cave as in your vision. More than merely a symbol, the Hridayam is a profound experience of "Unbearable Compassion" [see BE HERE NOW, page ॐ1].

In the top pic, there is a tiny meditating figure (sometimes Padmasambava, the Lotus-Evolved One) which in visualizing methods of beginning meditation would have a face and perhaps a tilak between the eyes, a point symbolizing the Ajna of third eye of wisdom. The further symbolism of this would suggest the mind that has descended into the heart, which is a very important experience in mysticism the world over, whether here in this Hindu iteration or for example in the Catholic symbol of the Sacred Heart in which a crown of thorns which was said to be placed on the head of Iesous is depicted as having descended to encircle the heart center. The Heart, mystically taken, is frequently viewed at the 'seat of the Spirit,' or the Solar mandala (Suryamandala) in Hinduism while the head or intellect is the Lunar mandala (Chandramandala). One's mind enters into the heart as if it were a cave or a temple.

Even in Catholic art where the halo or nimbus around the head of Iesous is often depicted in art (even cheesy art) as a paler cooler light than the radiant flaming heart, this emphasis is made. Catholicism has not elaborated its symbol philosophically anywhere near the extent of the Hindus or Tibetan Buddhists, but the symbolism is archetypal and thus it emerges universally if one looks for it in other traditions (eg., Tiphereth in Jewish Kabbalah, the winged heart in Islamic Chisti Sufism, Zhang Tan Tien in Taoist Yoga, Lotus of the Heart in Hinduism etc.).

I want to know more about the appearance of things in the vision,
was the environment integrated with the tree and the cave, were surfaces bejeweled or flat or furry. was it spacious or confining. and the heart -  was it like a valentine or like an organ, was it cartoony or mysterious or alien seeming, did it seem biblical or heavenly?
