the stages of sonic emanation are described in uccara (utterance) [ 1]
uccara: nada (resonance), nadanta (ending of the resonance), bindu (merge to a point), vyapini, samana, unmana [ 2]
unmana is the stirring into existence of the transcendent [ 3]
vyapini is the all-pervading energy [ 4]
utterance (uccara) of hamsah reaches unmana [ 5]
it is the union of Siva and Sakti that animates forward the movement from samana and vyapini towards manifestation [ 6]
nada is a condensation of the supreme sound (spanda) [ 7]
nada is the referential aspect of the word, while spanda is that which is referred to [ 8]
nada is that which is left of the synthetic self-awareness when all differentiating thought disappears [ 9]
nada is consciousness transcending the universe; it is unstruck (anahata), almost unmanifest; in it phonemes (varna) are not differentiated; [ 10]
the phonemen of nada is the "unstruck" phoneme, that which never can disappear, perpetual vibration [ 11]
nada is at the level of Sadasiva [ 12]
nada signifies a subtle sound form [ 13]
stages: sakti, nadanta, nada, nirodhini, bindu, ardachandra [ 14]
nadanta is the end of nada, where sound merges into energy [ 15]
nada is compared to the indistinct murmur of a brook [ 16]
nirodhini is the level beyond which Brahma and the other gods do not go [ 17]
nirodhini is associated to mantravirya and mantric dynamism [ 18]
bindu - an important concept in the Indian philosophy of the word; energy collected into a single point; concentrated upon itself; with special potency [ 19]
bindu is luminous, plays a role in the awakening of kundalini; [ 20]
bindu is concentrated energy prior to its creating of diversity [ 21]
bindu is a mass formed of the union of Siva and Sakti, a super energized form of the nondual energy [ 22]
bindu is the threshold of duality, the last point of unity [ 23]
bindu is preceded by ardhachandra, half-moon phase [ 24]
the nectar of Siva is nada and Sadasiva [ 25]
bindu arrises from kriyasakti [ 26]
bindu in effect emits manifestation [ 27]
bindu is luminous, a drop of energy and light [ 28]
bindu is paraprakasa - the supreme light [ 29]
bindu is associated to the level of isvara [ 30]
after bindu comes division, a division in two - visarga; bindu is one dot, visarga is two [ 31]
in bindu (M) fuse A and HA, forming the supreme mantra AHAM [ 32]
the aspects of bindu are: bindu, of the nature of Siva, bija of the nature of Sakti and nada - their union [ 33]
stages of uccara: PARA - unmana, samana, nadanta, PASYANTI - nada, MADHYAMA - nirodini, bindu, ardachanda, VAIKHARI - M, U, A [ 34]
nada is the first condensation of paravak [ 35]
nāda is the act of saying without any indication to what is expressed; a non differentiated statement; nadanta is the withdrawal of this statement [ 36]
