Accessing Atman via the Mesostratum Mind Loop

Abstract

The Bhagavad Gita recommends realization of Atman - one's true self - through meditation using the raja yoga path of meditation. We examine a path which involves the mesostratum and the transcendent mind loop which connects the physiostratum physical self (Body) with the superstratum supernal self (Atman). We suggest that the mind loop keeps the Body in touch with the Atman to attain enlightenment and understanding and to achieve a satisfying, enriched, productive, purposeful extant self.
