1000-Headed Cosmic Being · Unveil the Ancient of Days (AO001)

Ancient Orientor opens with the broadest measure. Glossing the 1000-headed Cosmic Being from the Purusha-Sukta of Rig-Veda. But we have no business chanting hymns to the wonders of yonder otherness. We invoke the Purusha in present.
Consciousness bound into forms. One head, two eyes, two feet. Such is the little in-dweller called you and me. But we need not be caught in our conditions. Breaking from the shell, unveiled from our reactive sheaths, we have access to infinity.

Ancient Orientor. We open the field with the broadest of expressions, a classic from Rigveda — the Purusha-sukta, the hymn of the Indweller.
sahasra-śīrṣā puruṣaḥ sahasrākṣaḥ sahasra-pāt | sa bhūmiṁ viśvato vṛtvā atyatiṣṭhad daśāṅgulam || The thousand- headed Indweller — Of thousand eyes, of thousand feet — The world become it pervades — Exceeding it by ten fingers.
The Purusha or the Indweller is consciousness become in the world of forms. We have the little Purusha, you and me, in our awareness. And there is the cosmic Purusha, pervading all of existence. It's not that we pray to a cosmic other. We break from our prisons, we breach from our cocoon, we crack the egg of our little universe.
The little self you have become, the formation holding your attention, has one head, two eyes and two feet. However, you need not remain that. When awareness is released from the shackles of conditions, you are no longer bound to this single identity, a single self-expression. Thousand are your heads, thousand are your eyes, and thousand are the ways you can go with your feet.
You are no longer constrained. You are infinite. Not infinite, as in simultaneously all, when you still operate in the realm of time and space. Yet you have the reach and access of infinity, the liberty to direct your attention without the pushings and pullings of conditions.
Released from identity and bondage with your sheaths, you are no longer reactive in instincts, reactive in emotion, reactive in intellect, reactive in identity. How-so-ever many heads and eyes and ears, hands and feet the environment may require for its fulfillment, there you incarnate, taking the roles required. Eliminating illusions, re-establishing the prime pattern. This is how we roll.
Do not seek the Cosmic Purusha in the realms of otherness. Rather unveil yourself. Cut your shackles of clinging, born of attachment and aversion, become the whole of it, and then by ten finger-widths exceed. Be the nothing that hosts the everything. There liberation prevails. This is the Ancient of Days, the liberated construct beyond your conditions. To that we orient.
