Katha Upanisad: The Method of Yoga

12. The Self, though hidden in all beings, does not shine forth but can be seen by those subtle seers, through their sharp and subtle intellect. 

13. The wise should restrain speech in mind; one should restrain the latter in understanding self. The understanding one should restrain in the great self. That a person should restrain in the tranquil self. 

14. Arise, awake, having attained thy boons, understand them. Sharp as the edge of a razor and hard to cross, difficult to tread is that path sages declare. 

15. (The self) without sound, without touch and without form, un-decaying, is likewise, without taste, eternal, without smell, without beginning, without end, beyond the great, abiding, by discerning that, one is freed from the face of death. 

16.  This ancient story of Naciketas told by Death (Yama), telling and hearing it, a wise man grows great in the world of Brahmā. 

17. Whoso shall cause to be recited this supreme secret before an assembly of Brāhamanas or devoutly at the time of the ceremonies for the dead, this will prepare (for him) everlasting life, this will prepare everlasting life.

Delights of the Arcane in the Garden

From The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
“All that is born, all that is created all the elements of nature are interwoven and united with each other. 
All that is composed shall be decomposed;
Everything returns to its roots;
Matter returns to the origins of matter. 
Those who have ears, let them hear.”

Bardo of Becoming: 
Now when the bardo of becoming dawns upon me,
I will concentrate my mind one- pointedly,
And strive to prolong the results of good karma, 
Close the womb-entrance and think of resistance;
This is the time when perseverance and pure thought are needed,
Abandon jealousy and meditate on the Guru with his consort.      
-Bardo Thodol

Colliding Particles in a Bubble Chamber

Bardo of dharmatā
Now when the bardo of dharmatā draws upon me
I will abandon all thoughts of fear and terror,
I will recognize whatever appears as my projection
And know it to be vision of the bardo;
Now that I have reached this crucial point,
I will not fear the peaceful and wrathful ones,
My own projections.
-Bardo Thodol

Bardo of the moment before death:
Now when the bardo of the moment before death draws upon me,
I will abandon all grasping, yearning and attachment,
Enter undistracted into clear awareness of the teaching,
And eject my consciousness into the space of unborn mind;
As I leave this compound body of flesh and blood
I will know it to be transitory illusion. 
-Bardo Thodol

Dream of a Sun Dance

Dhamma wheel
BarDo of Dreams
Now when the bardo of dreams  is drawing upon me,
I will abandon the corpse-like sleep of careless ignorance, and let my thoughts enter their natural state without distraction;
Controlling and transforming dreams in luminosity. 
I will not sleep like an animal 
But unify completely sleep and practice. 
-Bardo Thodol
