Background reading · This supporting article retains its own setting and sources. It is not a separate main tradition category on Fire Yoga.

The organization’s presentation of its metaphysical model; not an empirically demonstrated cosmology.
Its own map of the person
Supreme Consciousness, within the Brahmacakra model. Individual consciousness in the cosmic cycle. Mind is considered within a consciousness–matter account.
Body, breath and transformation
Prakṛti or operative force in its cosmological vocabulary. Cakras and mental layers in the movement’s own system. Manifestation and return, depicted as a cycle.

What freedom means here
Realization of Supreme Consciousness. Cosmological transformation is not an empirical biological claim. Teacher guidance, ethics and social service.
A distinction to carry with you
Brahmacakra is a metaphysical model, not established astrophysics.
These short notes are a starting framework for study. A fuller account needs particular passages, attributed translations and the tradition’s internal debates. The source above is a reading entry point, not a claim that every statement here has completed scholarly review.
