La, lam, laf, lamf. These four images take us into the four states of being by naming them. In the English language we only have one word for being, our great being. But the Shūm-Tyēīf language names four states of being. This mamsanī brings together these four names. They actually name four vibratory rates of our being. We begin to meditate upon this mamsanī by reading from the top-left clockwise. The first image is la. La names the being of the physical body, or the feeling of the vibrations emanating out of our physical body. The next image in the mamsanī, lam, names the vibration of our emotional-intellectual nature, or the being of our emotions and thoughts. The next image is laf. Laf is the name for the vibration, the radiation, the śakti of the individual soul, as experienced through the actinodic causal sheath, vijñānamaya kośa, in the fifth dimension of the mind. When one is aware within the center of the spine, laf, an actinodic vibration, comes forth from the soul. This vibration oozes out through the physical body. This feeling is called laf. Laf comes into power through simshūmbīsī» when the forces are transmuted from the first three instinctive-intellectual mind force centers and blends with the refined forces of the fourth kamshūmālingā. After the ī» kaīf» experience, the beautiful śakti that begins to emanate and become stronger and stronger through the years is called lamf. Lamf is the vibration of the energies of the actinic body of a realized being, which develops and begins to grow after many ī» kaīf» experiences have been had. Note that this mamsanī illustration and its description use the abbreviated forms of the four Shūm words. The words and their abbreviations are respectively: yūla abbreviated as la, yūlam as lam, yūlaf as laf and yūlamf as lamf.§
La, lam, laf, lamf are four vibratory rates of energies which can be perceived singularly or in any combination. For example, one can feel the vibration of someone’s physical body and emotional body, be they healthy or unhealthy, both at the same time. When an individual has matured inwardly and realized God Śiva, the most refined śakti, called lamf, can also be felt.§
This most important mamsanī tells our story, the story of our states of being. When we meditate upon it, we are seeing our superconscious existence, which will eventually come fully into existence after we have attained ī» kaīf». §
We experience some days when divine energies flow through our bodies, when Śiva’s cosmic energy sparks our mind. Now we have a name for this state of being, this energy: laf. Laf describes our state of mind when Lord Śiva’s superconscious, creative knowledge enriches our vision and the vision of others, improving the quality of life for all. When we experience our subconscious, emotional feelings—good, bad, mixed—we now have a name to call it: lam. And when we are only aware of the external world and our physical body we have a name for that too: la.§
This mamsanī shows the path in a different way than the one we will study in October, “makaif», kaīf», īī» kaīf», ī» kaīf».” On the last two days of each week this month, put these two mamsanī side by side and meditate on them together. You will experience how they tie into each other. You will see how the lamf path ties into the kaīf», ī» kaīf» path. In doing this, you will be taking your first step in creating your own mamsanī. Shūm is a full and fluid language. You can create your own mamsanī. §
