AGT and Sakti

Watched AGT last night and an opera singer nurse from a care home got a lot of sympathy...People sympathise with people who help others as at a deep level people know that all is one...So even though it is emotion at the evident level the ground level is Love....or Sakti not just emotion.... I am not this not this but that the consciousness and even that defers eventually to nirguna...

In the death process the ego or ahamkara reveals itself

In the death process the ego or ahamkara reveals itself as really separate from the instinctive or lower mind or manas...The instinctive-species mind will tell the body complex it is time to let go and leave and maybe stop eating and drinking like the animals do. The ego however which is a possessing entity will confuse any life as an attachment and will not let go until it is no longer pleasant or possible to remain in the dying body...in the meantime it goes backwards and forwards like a caterpillar with its feet on the new leaf and at the same time its back feet on the old leaf.We are possessed by an entity the ego a false entity....

With regard to the subtle body joining/forming with the individual jiva

Tony O'Clery With regard to the subtle body joining/forming with the individual jiva..the venarable Prof VK writes:-- Namaste The answer is contained both in Garbhopanishad (as Venkata Sriram has suggested) and also in Bhagavatam III-31. In Garbhopanishad it says: saptame mAse jIvena samyukto bhavati. In the seventh month it becomes united to the Jiva. So this is the starting point of this individualised sukshma sharira in this body. In Bhagavatam III-31 it says, Arabhya saptamAn mAsAn labdhabodhopi vepitaH , meaning, From the seventh month, he is conscious. To be conscious, he has to have a mind, and so this is the starting point of the sukshma sharira in this body. PraNAms to all advaitins. profvk Tony O'Clery Cayce says for example the entity may not even enter until the first 23 hour cycle around birth and even switich entities...so as with everything there is always a variable.
