During many of his esoteric teachings on the nature of existence, Meditation Master Mark Griffin often refers to this world where we live as “Jambudvipa.” There are historical, mythological, and cosmological references to Jambudvipa, the Land of Jambu Trees, the World of Endurance. Mark goes on to say that the world system to which we belong is 13 of 25 such world systems.
The extent of what Mark means by “world system” is elusive. Deeper understanding can be gleaned more through contemplation and intuition than by academic analysis. But what always comes to the forefront is the unimaginable scope of dimensions of reality that intersect here and are open to our perception.
“You should understand that our universe is one of one thousand universes inside one world system, inside an ocean of world systems; and our little planet is an infinitesimal speck in these thousand-universe sets of thousand universes.
Our form is that of human beings. We gain our movement, our awakening, through the dynamic of yoga, the operation of the yoke of consciousness – yoking awareness to consciousness and unfolding through the impact of that experience. Once a being has recognized the truth, the doorway between these world systems begins to open.
Consciousness is just extraordinary.”

In this day long meditation session held in San Francisco on December 1, 2007, Mark Griffin gave an overview of our world system and revealed a glimpse into the many strata of beings that inhabit this vast universe. Where is our place in it?
