Cipta Tunggal

Cipta - the forefront or the head of rasa (feeling). In Javanese: Pengarepe rasa.
Tunggal - one; focussed to one object.
Probably it could be translated as,

The concentration of cipta

1. Cipta, Karsa (wish) and Pakarti (deed) are always active as long as a humanbeing lives. Pakarti could be a physical or non-physical deed. You could help somebody to solve his/her problem by giving him/her some advice after you consult your cipta or rasa. It is advisable to have only good cipta, so you should have also good karsa (wish) and consequently you should have good pakarti, which is beneficial for you and others.

2. You should always make exercises to practise the above, you must be always patient/sabar. Focus your cipta to be patient. You could makarti (to do pakarti) well, if the wish of soul and five senses (lahir) outer side and batin (inner side) fit each other. Remember that soul and body are always influenced by the power of fire, wind, land and water.

3. Keep your physical body healty, among other by:

4. Do exercises to make your cipta stronger. Concentrate cipta, control the five senses. Calm the body (eneng), clear and peaceful cipta (ening). If your cipta could be concentrated and be focussed to one object, it is good. The cipta begins to have power, it could be functionned to fulfill or at least to arrange a good wish.

5. Make a small black or blue spot on the wall ( • ) You sit on the floor crossleg facing the wall, see/stare to black-spot without blinking your eyes for quite some time. Concentrate your cipta.

16. The four brothers/sedulur papat
    (sedulur-brothers, relative; papat-four)
    The traditional Javanese believe the existence of sedulur papat, accompanying you wherever you are, as long as you live in this world. They are assigned by power of nature to assist you, to be faithful and helpful companions. They do not have physical bodies, but they do exist, it is also a reality.
    It is better if you know them. You must also have a harmonious relation with them, they are:
    1. Kakang kawah, elder brother kawah, in the form of water of fetal membrane. He comes out from mother's womb before you. His place is east, his color is white.
    2. Adi ari-ari, younger brother ari-ari, in the form of placenta. He comes out from mother's womb after you. His place is west, his color is yellow.
    3. Getih, blood which is coming out from mother's womb,. The place is south, the color is red.
    4. Puser, navel, which was cut after your birth. The place is north, the color is black.
    Except the above sedulur papat, the other is kalima pancer (kalima-the fifth), the fifth pancer is your physical body. So, you call them=sedulur papat kalima pancer. They exist because you do exist!! Some call them=keblat papat, lima tengah. (The four directions, the fifth is in the center). The above five were born thru mother, there are others who do exist not thru mother's womb.
    They are mar and marti in the form of hawa/air. Mar is the air, the mother' struggle to deliver the baby. Marti is the air, the mother's feeling after successfully delivered the baby and the baby was born safely. Mystically, the color of mar marti is white and yellow. You could ask a help from mar marti, only after you are doing Tapa Brata (serious ascetic life)

17. The levels of sembah
    Sembah means to respect (to parents, kings, God etc) in a special traditional manner: respectful greeting, made with palms together, fingertips upward, the two thumbs touching lips or nose.
    The sembah to God the almighty, except respecting him, also adore and pray to him. The other term is Puja Brata. Some gurus say that you are not allowed to do Puja brata, before you pass Tapa brata.

     

    • Sembah Rogo
      (Rogo; physical body)
      This is a tapa (ascetic practice) of the physical body. You know that body only obeys the order of your batin (inner side) and your desire. The body wishes to enjoy himself, to feel great without any limit. Starting from today the body has to obey the wish of cipta = wake-up in the morning, take a bath, do not be lazy, as a normal human being, it has to work. Consume less food and sleep less
      i.e. Eat when you are already hungry
      drink when you are already thirsty
      Sleep when you are already sleepy
      Learn useful noble knowledge for the benefit of yourself and other people.

    • Sembah Cipta
      1. You have to exercise your thinking to reality, servant knows God.
      2. You have to do only good and correct things, control entirely your lust. Defeat greediness.
      Your rasa should be sharper. You start to see reality.
      Exercise your cipta by doing as follow:
      • Do it regularly at midnight, at a proper place.
      • Concentrate on your feeling
      • Do not force ability of your body, just do it relaxly.
      • Your wish is clear, focus on it.
      • Get used to it, until you have a feeling that what you are doing is something you have really to do, it is not a burden at all!
      You are on the way to true reality. You feel lonesome, as if you remember nothing. As if the body, astral and mental do not function, you forget but the soul is 'eling' (conscious), it's the situation of eneng (calm body), ening (peaceful cipta) and eling (the consciousness of true feeling)
      Those, who are determined to see reality, he/she should see the result.

    • Sembah Jiwo
      (Jiwo-soul)
      sembah jiwa to God the Almighty. Feel deeply using jiwa/suksma what have you found during eneng, ening and eling. It's a sembah from batin (inner side) not involving lahir (outer side). If you see a very bright light but not glaring, it is a sign you open the world of reality. The light is your own Pramana/supreme substance. You should have a sure feeling, that you while doing samadi and the light are protecting each other.

    • Sembah Roso
      (Roso-feeling, here is true feeling; roso sejati)
      • You should understand perfectly, why you have been created for and what's your task.
      • You should understand perfectly, the reality of all living beings. Thru samadi, you see Sangkan Paraning Dumadi. The harmony between servant and master is like the sweat of honey and the honey, indivisible.
