Halting Gaze

Upcoming Show 9-15-25! The World Halts When Gazed.

Halting Gaze is a podcast with the title The World Halts When Gazed.

Halting Gaze:

Hostess Lisa Winton and Swami Jayananda will talk about the power discovered in conscious awareness of the Divine Mind functioning everywhere always. In this show they will discuss the Yoga idea of dristhi or dristi translated to mean gaze or one pointed focus– in relation to the sixth stage of Yoga, dharana or concentration. Listen as they explain the value of shifting thought from a mental-material basis to the Divine Creation. Welcome to the Voice of Yoga; we are talking consciousness! Join the Kriya Yoga Spiritual Advance to get the Light in your soul and stop the world.

Notes:

1. I remember taking instruction in Ashtanga Yoga and they would talk about using Dristhi or the gaze of the practice. Most of the instruction was physical with some mental aspects but today I understand the focus to be on the Divine creation– the Spiritual Truth of Being. For me the Gaze marks the shift from mental-material awareness to Spiritual Knowing. The surrender of my will, personal sense and highest understanding of right to let Divine Mind do Its Knowing in my awareness. How does this stop the world? This world is a mental image and the world mind functioning as corporeal sense which is in constant change. The mortal mind can’t free itself from its own creation but when thought is stopped or suspended with it ceases the sensations. But this inactivity doesn’t go far enough to halt the world what is needed is the Gaze. Conscious awareness of the Divine Truth dissolves the illusion of mental-material energy. This is the end of the world as we know it.
2. In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mrs. Eddy uses the word gaze seven times. Let’s read page 248:19-32 “Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life- work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models. To remedy this, we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love – the kingdom of heaven – reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear.” Found in the halting gaze of Oneness.
3. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, 261:24-32 “Breaking away from the mutations of time and sense, you will neither lose the solid objects and ends of life nor your own identity. Fixing your gaze on the realities supernal, you will rise to the spiritual consciousness of being, even as the bird which has burst from the egg and preens its wings for a skyward flight.
   We should forget our bodies in remembering good and the human race. Good demands of man every hour, in 262:1-23 which to work out the problem of being. Consecration to good does not lessen man’s dependence on God, but heightens it. Neither does consecration diminish man’s obligations to God, but shows the paramount necessity of meeting them. Christian Science takes naught from the perfection of God, but it ascribes to Him the entire glory. By putting “off the old man with his deeds,” mortals “put on immortality.”
   We cannot fathom the nature and quality of God’s creation by diving into the shallows of mortal belief. We must reverse our feeble flutterings– our efforts to find life and truth in matter– and rise above the testimony of the material senses, above the mortal to the immortal idea of God. These clearer, higher views inspire the God– like man to reach the absolute centre and circumference of his being.
   The true sense
   Job said: “I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee.” Mortals will echo Job’s thought, when the supposed pain and pleasure of matter cease to predominate. They will then drop the false estimate of life and happiness, of joy and sorrow, and attain the bliss of loving unselfishly, working patiently, and conquering all that is unlike God.”
4. Stop the world I want to get off! Stop thinking and start Knowing is the methodology for casting out the son of perdition which is world mind functioning as corporeal sense in individual consciousness– also called Judas and it must be cast out. Truth in consciousness resolves things into thoughts and exchanges the objects of sense for the Divine Idea.
