How to flow / fly?

Mind, my mind, and me. 

--

The Bermuda Triangle points out to an interesting analogy.

There is such a Classical and a practical approach as well.

This is about, how to do the "Self-Enquiry".

Though the word "enquiry" and "inquiry" may sound and give a bit different meaning to many, some may prefer the first while others may like to use the next.

Whatever, 

" Self-Enquiry" consists in investigating into the truth (Reality) of "The Self" or even "the self".

In comparison to the Bermuda Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle refers to a geographical place on Earth, where ships and aeroplanes etc. seem to have lost and couldn't be easily traced. 

This looks like the same, when the triangle in terms of  :

Mind, me (I), and  my mind,

is enquired into.

So,  "Self-Enquiry" turns into a proverbial 

"Wisdom of folly",

Or, 

"Folly of Wisdom", 

According to one's disposition  (wisdom).

Saying "my mind" itself is the very cause behind this apparent contradiction (Paradox) that one falls into most often.

When one carefully and attentively looks at this, is at once released from this trap.

--

Let us see,  when one says "my mind", 

Could the mind really refer to itself by saying so?

Obviously, the one who says 

"my mind" 

is himself not the mind, which he refers to.

He is not the mind, he is pointing out to. 

There is this essential contradiction in what is said and what is intended.

The pointer is not the pointed out.

Neither what is the pointed out, is the pointer.

(I admit, this is a bit clumsy!).

But here ends the paradox and this apparent contradiction is thus eliminated.

"Good Morning!"
"Good Morning!"
"Please tell me if and how Bermuda Triangle is connected with Shiva? How it got the name? Has it a Sanskrit origin?"
"Bermuda Triangle is a hypothetical triangle in the North Atlantic Ocean with Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico as its three corners.
There is a पाताल  / pātāla-loka as is described in Ancient Hindu scriptures which is called 'अतल -अंतिक /atala-aṃtika' where-from we could relate 'Atlantic' . There is also mention of an Atlantic Culture, which is supposed to be submerged in ocean.
But the Hindu view looks at this in a different way. 
Basically Hindu-view treats 'Space' as matter only and treats all 'spaces' as embedded in The Cosmic-Space only. 
We know there is cyberspace, a dream-space,a space that we perceive as physical where we are awake at this moment.We can compare a magnetic field, a wi/fi wifi-space as a closed region in some way. Like a CCTV. That too forms / defines a 'Space' in Topological Mathematical parlance. 
Likewise, There is this यक्ष-लोक /  yakṣa-loka, which is there under sea-bed at a depth of (say) 20 miles or more, at that place where the superior conscious beings / spirits named यक्ष /  yakṣa live and reign over that region.We should not forget they live in their own hyper-space that is a sub-space of Cosmic-Space. And there is a subtle tunnel that joins their region with our's, and is invisible to us at the same time. We have no proof, but the disappearance of sea-vessels, ships indicate there is something like this. 
Whenever a ship, plane or other such thing passes through that region, and if those यक्ष / yakṣa, who guard this passage find that their area has been trespassed, they don't delay in taking captive who-so-ever / what-so-ever has done so. They यक्ष / yakṣa, are but
Shiva-devotee only and according to their destiny / will stay in यक्ष-लोक /  yakṣa-loka, as long as they would."
"O.K. But is not everything and all in Shiva-loka only? why don't they let humans enter their domain?"
"It is their own chosen Kingdom, and this may be a 1000 times or more bigger that our world in fact. And just we have our own 'sovereign' nations on earth, they too have their 'sovereign' 'loka'. Not only they, but there are such innumerable loka-s all embedded in one Supreme Cosmic-Space -शैष्मिक-स्पर्श / śaiṣmika-sparśa."
"O.K. Then how could we know about them with surety?"
"When we know what / how we are after our individual death..."
"That is a prerequisite almost impossible to be fulfilled!"
"No, when we try to find out what we are as essence we come to the irrefutable conclusion that we are but the consciousness that has made this body, mind thought its instrument to show up as manifestation. This manifestation keeps on emerging out and dissolving again for every individual though the consciousness is not a person / individual other than the manifestation, the person talks about."
"So, Are these यक्ष / yakṣa no person?"
"Yes and no. Yes, because they have maintained / preserved their personality as an entity different from Shiva, in order to serve Him as His devotee, because they have utterly disregardful of this tiny thing, the ego, which they feel must stay in a servant's capacity only. And, No, because they have realized there is only Shiva and nothing no-one except Him."
"What happens of a human being who dies without coming across this knowledge?"
"Immediately after the death, he goes to (finds himself in) प्रेत -लोक / preta-loka. The Region of the dead."
"How long one stays there?"
"As long as the body is not disposed-off in a proper and right way!"
"What does that mean?"
"See, The five-elements that have turned into this body should return to their source...."
"How is that done?"
"Only by means of burning the dead."
"Why?"If the body is not burned completely, the elements in the dead body continue to maintain a vague or strong sense of being a person. This assumption / the soul clings to the body and keeps suffering whatever happens to the body."
"What happens to those who are buried or disposed-off in waters, or left for the vultures?"
"This may be according to the belief of the one who died..."
"Why we don't cremate the ज्ञानी / jñānī ?"
"Because His body has become a temple of Shiva"
"Oh!"
"?"
"What about 
नागलोक, हंसलोक, गन्धर्वलोक, देवलोक, मनुष्यलोक, स्वर्गलोक, यमलोक, ब्रह्मलोक, /  nāgaloka, haṃsaloka, gandharvaloka, devaloka, manuṣyaloka, svargaloka, yamaloka, brahmaloka?"
"They all and many more are there but all are in Shiva and Shiva only in them all. Know this and don't forget Him." 
"Thanks!" 
"Welcome!"
