[Flux in Conscious Icrease:]

Try taking walks to exercise conscious attention. I used to do that. Through them, I was able to expand the conscious level incredibly (though not even nearly to its full capacity). Through the walks, I got to states of consciousness so heightened that they are unfathomable to human imagination. Though, they seem absolutely natural when attained.

Consider senses more intense than those of animals which are ordinarily considered highly sensate (even a grizzly bear, which can smell at over a hundred or two feet away). What's more, the sense of smell appears one of the lesser faculties.

Generally, I found that the longer walks that I took, the higher the state of consciousness was heightened. There were two regrettable things to the walks though. The first was that the physical body has limitations and grows weak with too much exercise. The second was that the essences become re-enveloped within the 5th-dimensional parasites whenever the attention is no longer exercised. This results in a diminish in the senses and any psychic faculties that are obtained as a result of the walks.

On the other hand, that's where the disinitigration of the entities becomes important. Through exercising of the conscious state, using the walks to aid, and disintigrating the parasites the state of consciousness fluctuates (though it heightens in its intervals).

I would point you to a site or two. On the other hand, they both seem almost politically based sites, with a limited flow of ideas. I don't wish anyone to become entrapped within any such organizations because they can be hard to get out of. Not that people simply can't leave. Only, they have become attached to the organizations' leaders and become subordinate. There are, without a doubt, many things that can be learned from at least one of such organizations. True, people can reach a "mountain top" so far as knowledge is concerned in them. Yet, from there, they are given no wings to soar into the sky. The result is subordinace to the leader(s) and cause, coupled with an overlooking of organizational limitations.

It's grave indeed because there are no longer promises of higher knowledge, only noticeable 'holes' within the organization's structure.

This might help though:

I assume the noticeably variability in time which results from subconscious breaks wasn't explained in sufficient depth...

In the previous post the discussion of time variability was explained vaguely. This is due to the fact that I had to be frank and considerably brief.

There really isn't enough knowledge to go in to the mechanics. What I can say, though (from having had varying levels of consciousness and purging 5th-dimension parasites) the concept of time varies with the level of consciousness and influences of the parasites.

When they trigger boredom, time appears monotonous and redundant (long). When they trigger excitement, fast-pacedness, the result is a 'flush' in time. Which is more harmful, conscious-wise? I couldn't really say...

Both anger and frustration are triggered by the parasites. Frustration is generally long-lasting and more subtle. Anger is generally an excitment. If anyone were to be able to truly remain calm in an angry situation, the same person would notice spontaneous reactions occuring throughout the body
(due to shorting-out of parasitic micro-attentions), though he or she wouldn't be affected by the anger. What's more, the anger would noticeably occur involuntarily (beyond her or his influence).

I recall an account that a friend told me in which he became angry (didn't remain calm). He claims to have lost all consciousness at a point (the anger was so intense) and he did some irrational things which he was later told about.

Angry people, in general, don't tend to see every thing which they do. People even call some of these things instincts (spontaneously attacking without conscious control). I recall another situation in which a police officer claimed to have developed "tunnel vission" and reacted, without control, instictively shooting a man several times in response to a fearful situation.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tunnel%20vision

Some things (like swearing) are a bit different. They are more subtle. Anger is a parasitic influence of the body (although it influences the mind too). Mental dialogue (speaking to onself mentally) goes a bit deeper.

Try falling asleep, without loosing consciousness. Doing this, hypnagogs begin to appear (triggered by the parasites). In this stage of sleep, the mental dialogue (as well as other mental activities) can be witnessed to be separate from oneself.

Mental dialogue is difficult to get rid of (it's so subtle). Anger, fear, and frustration are much easier (causing more seeable reactions in the body). They do originate from the parasites in the 5th dimension but, for the most part, are not very profound (subtle). Dialogue might be impressionistic-->It originates at more profound depths beyond the mind and body (it is generally hard to see).

Stimulating consciousness should also help, naturally, to begin to see bodily reactions and mental dialogue, which occur involuntarily. Also, it should aid in shorting-out attention breaks.

[A possible explanation of what is happening:]

It isn't to tune out. I posted both of them on the forum because I was doing an experiment. There was something I wanted to know from the experiment. That is, whether it is was effective in stimulating consciousness.

That's also the reason why those questions were later asked. I was giving time for people to try the techniques, so there wouldn't be any ideas about what's supposed to happen.

If anyone could really continuously hold attention on them for the amounts of times given (even for only a few seconds), he or she would notice that the state of consciousness subtly, or intensely, 'peaks', then attention gets broken again. The 'peak' depends on how long the attention is held.

Attention to the senses isn't a constant thing. There are many breaks which occur in it throughout a day. For example, a thought might arise, re-rooting a small amount of attention from the senses. Movements, and even speaking, take some amount of attention away from the senses. This is natural though (attention has a limited span). When it's used in one area, it's lost in another.

On the other hand, there are some unnatural breaks which happen in a day. Dense subconscious thoughts can sometimes re-root a large amount of attention away from the senses, and also an activity. With subconscious breaks, the attention isn't simple re-rooted by one's being. If it were, it wouldn't dwindle (weaken) altogether. It would go to another use and appear to dwindle (e.g. vision might dwindle, but mental activity boosts). That is, attention wouldn't be lost altogether. Rather, it would transfer, resulting in an apparent dwindle from its original direction, but it would boost in the new area it is directed to (vision dwindless = thought boosts).

With 'subconscious' breaks though, attention dwindles altogether (both the senses go dull and thoughts aren't being perceived). This happens a lot in a day (which is the reason why time to do an important task seems to dwindle away sometimes). It happens unnoticeably though.

There are many subconscious breaks in attention throughout a day. On a micro-level, those occurring even simply in a single instant could not be counted even if people had twice as many fingers to count, on each hand.

Most people don't know it, but the subconscious is made up of a number of parasitic anomalies from the 5th dimension. They propagate (reproduces themselves) and nourish at the expense of the being. The being is made up of essenses (6th-dimensional particles of light which emanate consciousness). It is the reason why people are conscious in the world.

The 5th-dimension anomalies absorb essences and vital energies, propagating off of them. The re-absorbing of essences is called enlightenment (gathering of light). So, enlightenment has a meaning (the re-accrual of luminous particles).

Relating back to attention: learning to sustain attention can be very beneficial, so far as an expansion of the conscious state is concerned. It results in the stimulation of essences (consciousness 'peaks' when it's sustained).

A possible explanation of what is happening:

On a micro-level, the free-flowing pull of essences (those not entrapped in the anomalies) which are currently being used are sustaining their micro-attentions, while a person is sustaining attention. The anomalies try to re-root the free essences micro-attentions (to gain influence over them and then re-direct their attentions to absorb them) but are incapable.

This has a reverse affect. The anomalies micro-attentions begin to short-out. Their micro-attentions (coming from the entrapped essences) are not properly doing their tasks (re-rooting the micro-attentions of the free-flowing essences). So, the anomalies loose influence over the essences within them. As a result, those essences begin to flow out of the anomalies to the free-flowing pull. On a macro-level, a person will see 'peaks' in consciousness.

Relating back to the ticking clock and three-fold attention exercises: the exercises won't permanently re-accrue consciousness though (take back every last essence entrapped in the anomalies). That purpose can be found in another method, which I won't explain here because it takes a certain amount of basic conscious expansion and knowledge.

One person seemed to have been able to 'peak' the conscious state through one or both of the exercises:

Vvid1012:
Iv only done this a couple times... It seems as though it goes through subtle peaks.  When it peaks I seem to lose track of one of the objects or noise...and then refocus

Why? Go there yourself.

As far as I saw, there's not so much special about it (although it's different from the physical plane). It's like the astral almost, though awareness through the senses there is generally higher.

I don't care about really convincing anyone that I've been there. I'll just say, it's possible to get there with a clear mind (through meditation).

I gave a drone mantra (continual, unbroken, single-syllabic chant) out on the forum some time ago that's very good at doing that. The mantra was probably thought to be too simple and insignificant.

[Centers of energy in the human being]

Centers of energy in the human being

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our body has certain control centers which are responsible for specific physical and psychological functions. Basically, we can divide them into three centers:

Intelectual Center, located in the brain, it works with mental energy.

Emotional Center, two points located in the heart and at the solar plexus (navel region), that work with emotional energy.

Sexual Center, located in the sexual organ that works with sexual energy.


Unfortunately, due to our psychological defects, also called ego, these centers don't work properly, which results in malfunctions of the human machine.


This results in all kinds of diseases.
The ego acts at these centers all the time and consequently controls the human machine, causing enormous harm.
How can we prove this?
We have a function that is atrophied by disuse. It is "Self-observation".
This sense allows us to perceive the presence of psychological defects.
By perceiving these defects we can eliminate them through mystical death.

The subjects of "Self-observation" and "Mystical Death" are explained in detail in the related pages.

Self-observation and mystical death are the foundation for attaining equilibrium in the centers, for regeneration and awakening of consciousness.
"Each center has its own hydrogen, which in us has been entirely changed or unbalanced, because inside us there is no order that can balance these centers, to make each one work with its own energy or its own hydrogen.
So, what happens? Because these centers are all out of place, all of them steal energy from this (sexual center).
When this (sexual center) perceives it has been robbed, it needs to steal energy from the other centers in order to be able to function. So, it is gets loaded with heavier hydrogens.
Thus, sexual imbalance occurs, which in turn unbalances the whole human machine. That is why it is so important to understand this.
Thus, for each center to work with its own hydrogen, we must begin the psychological work, that is, progressive death (mystical death) is very important to achieve this.  You see, this is a subject which is not given much attention, but which is basic and fundamental to allow us to begin the work of revolution of the conscience, first by balancing the centers so they can produce the SI-12 hydrogen." 

V.M Rabolu

Basically speaking, the ego is made up of many little defects which we can call "ego details" or simply "details".
These details which act in the centers of the human machine are those which must be observed, because like roots of a tree, they feed the ego with the energy of the centers in which they operate. Eliminating the details (roots), the tree (ego) will be starved and killed.
By doing this we are really balancing our centers, changing our inner beings and regenerating. Also we are restoring our consciousness, because each detail imprisons a little fraction of our consciousness.
Consider each detail as a bottle that imprisons a small part of our consciousness. When we break the bottle, that part of consciousness which was imprisoned returns to us.

from http://english.divinaciencia.com/centro_i.php

Note: The term "hydrogen" (not be confused with the element on the periodic table) denotes all energies of the body (which are all capable of creation). The hydrogens of the sexual centre are not just spermatozoa and ova, but also the other cells surrounding the area. All cells  have DNA and as such are considered creative energies (hydrogens). Different groups of cells (hydrogens) relate to different centres (areas) of the body. They are said to be 'mixed up' with the influence of egos. The key is supposedly to balance the centres (return cells to their respective centres). This key isn't for the disintigration of egos, rather it's for obtaining internal stability in the body. Ironically, however, mystical death (dissolving of egos) is used to obtain this stability (observation alone won't do it).

How deep did you get into the course? The technique to observe the egos should be there.

Egos can get a little tricky. Because they exist in the astral and bring about reactions in the body, it's also true that not everything which they are doing is always seen. The first level of observation is their manifestations in the body (if its not the only essential one, ironically).

The technique, if I'm not mistaken, is supposed to hinder their bodily manifestations and work at the minute details which make up their structures.

The mystic death technique is very good at getting at the subtle energies that make up the egos. Because the small details are being dissolved, it takes time to disintegrate them. On the other hand, first it's neccessary to become aware of them in the body.

I couldn't just give the death technique out. It wouldn't work well without observation, if it did work at all.

The technique should be available on the course following Self Disovery. Also, it can be learned in Revolutionary Psychology.

If your thinking of looking into it and possibly trying it, I think it will be worth your while
There's a lot learn from it about the nature of human behaviors.

Most of the astral OBEs I hear about are vague and accompanied with dream scenes. Two of the etheric experiences I had were as substantial as everyday existence and not accompanied with dream images (although I've had astral experiences as substantial as everyday existence).

When I penetrated the etheric for the third time I could feel euphoria which might have been emanating from the plane (it was euphoriatic, unlike the physical plane). I "knew" I was in the etheric, with the physical body. When I came back to the physical plane the memories where there 'solidly' (didn't transfer back). The second time I mentioned, the etheric experience was surreal (I was using a method taught by a being with an awakened consciousness). The memories in this experience were and are vague and surreal...

The first and third experiences I still remember clearly (though the first happened years ago). The second is unclear and I don't remember it all...

I have astral experiences all the time. They are not usually as substantial as those two etheric ones (due to my level of consciousness in the astral and upon return); my memories are also hindred at times do to there transference from the astral body to the physical body (through subconscious interferences, which I have been able to perceive blogging memories). In my experience, astral projection occurs naturally at the onset of sleep. I've fallen asleep a number of times, only to end up conscious in the astral plane.

The 'clear state' doesn't come from dissolving the egos, rather temporarily disbanding (removing) them from bodily influence (they are phantasmal entities affecting the physical body from the astral).

With a heightened enough degree of awareness through the five senses or concentration through meditation it becomes possible to temporarily escape them. I know this because I've done it myself, more than once.

Also, I don't believe in masters (though I sometimes claim it because people accept it). I've seen things which don't support that notion. Although, there are beings with awakened consciousness and some without egos. What's more, I don't like the idea of "mastery" because it seems to connote "slavery" on their students' parts.

Still, I'll use the term mastery for beings with awakened consciousness because it comes from the word "Atman". Ironically, atman is supposedly the part behind the essence. It's supposed to be one's true self. Anyone with a certain degree of awakened consciousness is said to be working from their true self--Atman (and have allegedly gained 'mastery' over their self). A master will work from the inside, out, destroying the veil which holds it imprissoned (egos).

Mastery is a folly concept, though. It means nothing, but it means something in its nothingness in this day and age. On the other hand, people who claim mastery have taught others' wonderful things (mystical death the most profitable). Anyone who has learned this technique and gone deep enough with it knows that it rids anger, fear, pride, gluttony, and so on, etc. (it really does have the effect of disintegrating egos).

I know very little regarding the nature of God, but I will say that (from the little that I do know) it makes me believe that not everything is God, or for that matter if there is even a God.

Anyone has a right to think the contrary. When facts come to facts, though, and methods come to methods, I think practicality is more important than ideal notions--which I will freely disguard (and sometimes do) for the facts.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that anyone can lose their egos without years of hard work, observation, and committment. Isn't this true?

It's probably true. For one, I haven't disintegrated all of my egos yet (though I've managed to disintegrate some, and other times to disband (remove) egos from the body for temporary instances). There are a lot of them, though, and they can be different sizes. So, some are really hard to get rid of.

There's also a little more to it than observation and commitment. Something has to be done for them to be disintegrated. With the disintegration, some amazing things about human nature and bodily manifestation are learned.

The mystical death is good mainly because egos are disintegrated, but it's also good because it gives insight into the subtle depths of conscious impressions (meanings) and minute will.

Interesting point though (the etheric could be more similar to the physical plane). I only have a small bit of information to go against that--my second experience.

I've also been to the causal plane ( no I'm not trying to cash all my eggs in one basket lol ), with the memories coming back less conretely (transference and subconscious interference).

The astral is a mirror, with more places. The astral is just as real as the physical plane too, if not more. To bring back concrete astral memories there must be a certain degree of consciousness upon return (no subconscious interferences).

With astral travel, the memories are transfered back to the physical brain. With etheric rift, the brain is receiving the memories directly.

[Jinn state]

I've managed to get into the etheric two or three times.

There is a state (trance-like) that's its possible to get in to sometime before the physical body falls asleep. I can't really describe the state in words (it's very real though and can be accompanied with different sensational experiences)...

I say sensational experiences, instead of sensations, because the word "sensation" is usually used to explain astral experiences (which are usually more surreal). This, on the other hand, was much more 'real' than most astral experiences. Astral projection, compared to this, most of the time is just a subtle transition.

In this state, the Jinn state, there is a genuine feeling of trance-dimensional shift (like being caught in a bizaar rift). It's hard to explain...the right words just don't come to mind...

Anyhow, the transition into the state of Jinn feels this way because it is actually happening to the physical body (not the etheric). After the transition the result is the pentration of the physical body--via transdimensional rift--into the etheric plane.

Upon return to the physical plane of regular existence, memories come back as conretely as you are now reading this post. Astral memories can sometimes be unclear, broken, or don't come back at all. Etheric rift is different--because the actual physical body is used. I think the etheric body might also be usable, but this is the greater experience I have with the etheric (two of three experiences).

One of the other two times I did this--the first time--I managed to bring the etheric rift about by will. I had been practicing a certain method at the time which helped to do this. The entering of the etheric plane was just as concrete (if not more) than anything in everyday existence.

The second time of the three, though, was vague and surreal. Maybe that was actually etheric projection (etheric body), rather than than etheric rift (physical body) .

The third time was concrete, like the first. The body naturally went into a state of jinn (this time I didn't bring it about by will).

Also, if I'm not mistaken, it seems possible to remain in the etheric plane (with the physical body) as long as one desires. Return happens at will.

Maybe you have some experiences to go along with that view?

I'm speaking from my experiences and relating to a physiological and metaphysical state that results from the disbandment of egos (which can be done temporarily). I would speak otherwise, but these are my experiences.

The yogic view has seemed legible to me in the past, but now it just isn't consistent. The 'clear state' is the state of being without interferece. People know when they reach this state.

I would feign (with good intentions) support this view of absolute divinity, but I've experienced too much to the contrary. I've "seen" beings possessed by malevolent phantasms--shade-like translucent specters.

I've seen the effects of the disintegration of these specters--which pollute the atsomsphere and beings with there dissharmonious energies.

If I were to say anything to the contrary of the things which have already been said (that everything is benevolent--emanations of God) it just wouldn't be true.

I like the idea that there is 'no' ominpotent tyrant (Yahweh/Zeus) reigning over the vast cosmos, treatening with rays capable of indubitable destruction and desolation. On the other hand, I could'nt truthfully attest to the notion of an all encompassing universal benevolence (all is God)--my experiences contravene such a notion.

By chance, what happened to the level of awareness through the senses while holding the Ticking Clock?

Also, dentists, I think, use anesthetics which simply have the effect of numbing the sensation of pain. Tooth extraction doesn't seem 'big enough' for conscious-altering anesthesia--like heart surgery.

The war in the spirit world is real. There are really struggles between those awakened in light and those dormant in darkness.

The war, though, also has a metaphorical aspect. That it's metaphorical, on the other hand, doesn't make it any less physical. Metaphorical represents physical. Real metaphors are not just empty (intangible) philosophies.

The metaphorical representation of the war is that it has to be waged within oneself. Darkness has root within single people (every person is a single root of the tree of darkness). Notwithstanding, not everyone has darkness within (though the vast majority of humanity does).

There are amazing accounts of certain people today waging the inner war (extracting the essences (conscious particles) of light and life from the embodiment of the subconscious). As I speak to you this same instant, I'm doing the same (this very instant, just as I think and type). Anyone can do it.

This is how enlightenment is achieved (extracting essences of light and life, from the dark mass of the subconscious). Regardless of whether there is desire to participate or not, the war will still go on (only the subconscious embodiment (in-->body-->meant) will still attack and pilfer (steal the light)).

The resolution is not to get angry, just to reclaim the essences (through "mystical death"). Which is also a metaphor, with a 'tangible' meaning.

True, there are many methods in gnosis that can change a person's ideas of the nature of everyday existence--how the mind works, the nature of consciousness and perception at its fundamentals, and (most important) discernable truths through direct experiences.

Some people go there expecting to attain enlightenment within the organizations confines. From what I can tell, enlightenment is an individual thing. It's good to go to school for learning the basics. In the end though, it comes down to the raw essentials and things which are done, not promised.

Gnosis doesn't gaurantee heaven within a beautiful golden locket. Rather, the gnostic administers (if the masters can be called that) give the elementary information (if a person can maintain a formal demeanor within the teachings) to achieve it. I say formal because formality is work ethic, as opposed to emotional retort (not realizing that the focus is in the work itself--any current distractions within daily life are a part of the work and only temporary).

Also, before all, the main focus is enlightenment (inner freedom)--something absolute real (though currently imperceptible (invisible)) to the everyday person.

I. E. O. U A aren't for the purpose of programming the subconscious. Rather, they are for bring stillness to subconscious thoughts and stimulating chakras.

The main purpose of meditation is the stillness of the mind, so that the result will be the penetration of the causal plane (the 6th dimension).

In this age of information, many people are finding "quick solutions" to "achieve their own enlightenment within the confines of everyday life". This is a pseudo concept because enlightenment isn't just something in which anyone can decide to attain, any given or ungiven day, with any amount of effort, not doing anything in particular.

More specifically, it's the extraction of essences from the multi-dimensional embodiment of the subconscious. Essences are causic (6th dimension) particles of light and life. The process of extraction takes a great amount of time, effort, and trial and error (probably most people who start never actually achieve it). One reason is that the subconscious, in the vast majority of people, is immensely massive.

In a sense, enlightenment is waging a war with oneself (though not truly...there is a lot to the "ego"). Also, the ego--the subconsciousness--is not atman...one's true emination.

Deciding to be enlightened does not make someone enlightened, nor does deciding that short phrases are mantras make them so. Enlightenment is an actual science and physical process: things are physically done (if not more than physically--meta-physically) to attain it.

The mantras really have a deeper origin than gnosticisim--they tuch Rosicrucianism and go a bit further. The Rosicrucian movement is a bit obscure; it appears to have been divided in the past by two separate geocraphic region, each possessing different principles and concepts of spiritual and arcane development.

A part of the movement stretched into South (primarily Mexico) and North America. Another part of the movement was in Europe (it would seem predominately England).

The European tradition was abominable and currupt, tending towards the gutters of self-indulgene and lusts.

Rosicrucianism in the Americas was different (I think being founded by Max Heindel. The former was, obviously, a society without only an 'external' foundation. The latter, according to Heindel, was intially founded some hundreds of years ago by venerate Adepts who existed in the higher planes of the higher dimensions. Rosicrucianism was probably the intial offshoot of Gnosticism (the roots of its tree).

The Rosicrucian movement in the Americas has since become obscure and its successor (Gnosticism) now disseminated around the world (though not everyone knows about Gnosticism).

I've tried the gnostic mantras several times in the past. Unlike the traditional eastern sanskrit mantras, the sounds of the  activated chakras correspond to their correct locations (keep in mind I did the eastern sanskrit mantras for several months (though several years ago). True, they do have benefits, but here they are not recommended because they relate, in some way, to the practice of hatha yoga (which, by the way, the 'eastern' awakened master Sri Swami Sivananda condemned).

The master Samael Aun Weor also condemned the practice of Hatha Yoga.

From my experience I used to practice Hatha Yoga and the corresponding mantras (though I'm not quite sure whether they are harmful or not). After some years of not doing Hatha Yoga, I decided to attempt it again one time. The result was that I was attacked by a number of black magicians in the astral plane that very night. I had to call white magicians for help...they couldn't heal every hex and curse that were put on me.

Here are the Gnostic vowels for the activation of the chakras:

Frontal Chakra. It is developed by the intonation of the vowel I, as follows: iiiiiiiiiii. [as in see]. Facultly: Clairvoyance

Larygneal Chakra [throat]. It is developed by chanting the vowel E, as follows: eeeeeee [as in echo]. Faculty: Clairaudience

Cardiac Chakra [heart]. It is developed by chanting the vowel O, as follows:oooooo [as in know] Faculties: Intuition, [conscious] astral projection, and so on, etc...

Navel Chakra [solar plexus]. It is developed by intoning the vowel U , as follows:uuuuuuuu [as in tune in] . Faculty: Telepathy [its recepter, not transmiter]

(2) Pulminary Chakras [lungs]. These are developed by chanting the letter A , as follows:aaaaaaa [as in recall]. Faculty: Memory of past lives.

--from The Three Mountains by Samael Aun Weor

There are also some other senses which probably correspond with the chakras such as Clairolfaculty (smelling into the astral plane), Polyvision (seeing into the astral), and
Clairsentience (Being able to sense another's preseance), and so on, etc...

It will do good to reread Sivananda's preface twice after reading it the first time. There is a lot to it.

Kundalini Yoga: Preface to Kundalini Yoga

By Sri Swami Sivananda

O Divine Mother Kundalini, the Divine Cosmic Energy that is hidden in men! Thou art Kali, Durga, Adisakti, Rajarajeswari, Tripurasundari, Maha-Lakshmi, Maha-Sarasvati! Thou hast put on all these names and forms. Thou hast manifested as Prana, electricity, force, magnetism, cohesion, gravitation in this universe. This whole universe rests in Thy bosom. Crores of salutations unto thee. O Mother of this world! Lead me on to open the Sushumna Nadi and take Thee along the Chakras to Sahasrara Chakra and to merge myself in Thee and Thy consort, Lord Siva.


Kundalini Yoga is that Yoga which treats of Kundalini Sakti, the six centres of spiritual energy (Shat Chakras), the arousing of the sleeping Kundalini Sakti and its union with Lord Siva in Sahasrara Chakra, at the crown of the head. This is an exact science. This is also known as Laya Yoga. The six centres are pierced (Chakra Bheda) by the passing of Kundalini Sakti to the top of the head. ?Kundala? means ?coiled?. Her form is like a coiled serpent. Hence the name Kundalini.


All agree that the one aim which man has in all his acts is to secure happiness for himself. The highest as well as the ultimate end of man must, therefore, be to attain eternal, infinite, unbroken, supreme happiness. This happiness can be had in one?s own Self or Atman only. Therefore, search within to attain this eternal Bliss.


The thinking faculty is present only in human being. Man only can reason, reflect and exercise judgment. It is man only who can compare and contrast, who can think of pros and cons and who can draw inferences and conclusions. This is the reason why he alone is able to attain God-consciousness. That man who simply eats and drinks and who does not exercise his mental faculty in Self-realisation is only a brute.


O worldly-minded persons! Wake up from the sleep of Ajnana. Open your eyes. Stand up to acquire knowledge of Atman. Do spiritual Sadhana, awaken the Kundalini Sakti and get that ?sleepless-sleep? (Samadhi). Drown yourself in Atman.


Chitta is the mental substance. It takes various forms. These forms constitute Vrittis. It gets transformed (Parinama). These transformations or modifications are the thought-waves, whirlpools or Vrittis. If the Chitta thinks of a mango, the Vritti of a mango is formed in the lake of Chitta. This will subside and another Vritti will be formed when it thinks of milk. Countless Vrittis are rising and subsiding in the ocean of Chitta. These Vrittis cause restlessness of mind. Why do Vrittis arise from the Chitta? Because of Samskaras and Vasanas. If you annihilate all Vasanas, all Vrittis will subside by themselves.


When a Vritti subsides it leaves a definite impression in the subconscious mind. It is known as Samskara or latent impression. The sum total of all Samskaras is known as ?Karmasaya? or receptacle of works. This is called Sanchita Karma (accumulated works). When a man leaves the physical body, he carries with him his astral body of 17 Tattvas and the Karmasaya as well, to the mental plane. This Karmasaya is burnt by highest knowledge obtained through Asamprajnata Samadhi.


During concentration you will have to collect carefully the dissipated rays of the mind. Vrittis will be ever-rising from the ocean of Chitta. You will have to put down the waves as they arise. If all the waves subside, the mind becomes calm and serene. Then the Yogi enjoys peace and bliss. Therefore real happiness is within. You will have to get it through control of mind and not through money, women, children, name, fame, rank or power.


Purity of mind leads to perfection in Yoga. Regulate your conduct when you deal with others. Have no feeling of jealousy towards others. Be compassionate. Do not hate sinners. Be kind to all. Develop complacency towards superiors. Success in Yoga will be rapid if you put in your maximum energy in your Yogic practice. You must have a keen longing for liberation and intense Vairagya also. You must be sincere and earnest. Intent and constant meditation is necessary for entering into Samadhi.


He who has firm faith in Srutis and Shastras, who has Sadachara (right conduct), who constantly engages himself in the service of his Guru and who is free from lust, anger, Moha, greed and vanity easily crosses this ocean of Samsara and attains Samadhi quickly. Just as fire burns a heap of dried leaves, so also the fire of Yoga burns all Karmas. The Yogi attains Kaivalya. Through Samadhi, the Yogi gets intuition. Real knowledge flashes in him within a second.


Neti, Dhauti, Basti, Nauli, Asanas, Mudras, etc., keep the body healthy and strong, and under perfect control. But they are not the be-all and end-all of Yoga. These Kriyas will help you in your practice of Dhyana. Dhyana will culminate in Samadhi, Self-realisation. He who practises Hatha Yogic Kriyas is not a Purna Yogi. He who has entered into Asamprajnata Samadhi only is a Purna Yogi. He is a Svatantra Yogi (absolutely independent).


Samadhi is of two kinds, viz., Jada Samadhi and Chaitanya Samadhi. A Hatha Yogi through the practice of Khechari Mudra can shut himself up in a box and remain underneath the ground for months and years. There is no higher supernatural knowledge in this kind of Samadhi. This is Jada Samadhi. In Chaitanya Samadhi, there is perfect ?awareness?. The Yogi comes down with new, super-sensuous wisdom.


When a man practises Yogic Kriyas, naturally various kinds of Siddhis are acquired. The Siddhis are hindrances to Realisation. The Yogi should not at all care for these Siddhis, if he wants to advance further and get the highest realisation, the final Goal. He who runs after Siddhis will become the biggest house-holder and a worldly-minded man. Self-realisation only is the Goal. The sum total of knowledge of this universe is nothing when compared to the spiritual knowledge that is obtained through Self-realisation.


Ascend the path of Yoga cautiously. Remove the weeds, thorns and the sharp angular pebbles on the way. Name and fame are the angular pebbles. Subtle under-current of lust is the weed. Attachment to family, children, money, disciples, Chelas or Ashram is the thorn. These are forms of Maya. They do not allow the aspirants to march further. They serve as the stumbling-blocks. The aspirant gets false Tushti, stops his Sadhana, imagines foolishly that he has realised, and tries to elevate others. This is like a blind man leading the blind. When the Yogic student starts an Ashram, slowly luxury creeps in. The original Vairagya gradually wanes. He loses what he has gained and is unconscious of his downfall. Ashram develops begging mentality and institutional egoism. He is the same house-holder now in some other form (Rupantara-bheda) though he is in the garb of a Sannyasin. O aspirants, beware! I warn you seriously. Never build Ashrams. Remember the watchwords:-?SECLUSION, MEDITATION, DEVOTION.? March direct to the goal. Never give up the Sadhana zeal and Vairagya until you realise Bhuma, the highest goal. Do not entangle yourself in the wheel of name, fame and Siddhis.


Nirvikalpa is the state of superconsciousness. There are no Vikalpas of any sort in this condition. This is the Goal of life. All the mental activities cease now. The functions of the intellect and ten Indriyas cease entirely. The aspirant rests now in Atman. There is no distinction between subject and object. The world and the pairs of opposites vanish completely. This is a state beyond all relativity. The aspirant gets knowledge of Self, supreme peace and infinite, indescribable bliss. This is also called Yogaroodha state.


When Kundalini is taken to the Sahasrara and when it is united with Lord Siva, perfect Samadhi ensues. The Yogic student drinks the Nectar of Immortality. He has reached the Goal. Mother Kundalini has done Her task now. Glory to Mother Kundalini! May Her blessings be upon you all!


Om Shantih! Shantih! Shantih!

I can't heal them for you. On the other hand, here are some mantras to exercise six chakras (not the crown though).

I  (as in see)
E  (as in echo, or yell)
O  (as in know)
U  (as in tune in)
A  (as in recall, or all memory)

This is the order of vowels, from highest pitch to lowest.

I Frontal chakra - Clairvoyance
The region of the pineal gland, located near this chakra, around the center of the brain, has to do with the transmition of telepathic signals.
E Throat chakra - Clairaudience
O Heart Chakra - Intuition
U Navel Chakra - Telepathic Receptiveness (not transmition)
A (2) Chakras of the Lungs - Memory (remembrance of past lives)

Even if I could heal your chakras I wouldn't for two reasons:

1) They probably don't need to be healed
2) If you can somehow feel them blocked, they might be so because of some of the methods you are using.

The awakened master (one of only a few of this age) Sri Swami Sivananda once said that Hatha Yoga places emphasis on the acquiring of Siddhis (special powers). Many other methodologies of this curent age also focus on the acquiring of powers, rather than spiritual growth (by which powers will be acquired naturally). Spiritual growth shows a degree of maturity of the soul, which merits the natural acquisition of powers.

Also, such methods have many limitations because Vasanas (called egos and selves by the venerated master Samael Aun Weor) still exist. The elimantion of vasanas is the prime aim of spiritual progress. Ergo, Atman can re-aquire all essences (particles of life and light which make up the spirit). This gives reason for the word enlightenment being called enlightenment (because that is precisely what it is).

Chitta is the mental substance. It takes various forms. These forms constitute Vrittis. It gets transformed (Parinama). These transformations or modifications are the thought-waves, whirlpools or Vrittis. If the Chitta thinks of a mango, the Vritti of a mango is formed in the lake of Chitta. This will subside and another Vritti will be formed when it thinks of milk. Countless Vrittis are rising and subsiding in the ocean of Chitta. These Vrittis cause restlessness of mind. Why do Vrittis arise from the Chitta? Because of Samskaras and Vasanas. If you annihilate all Vasanas, all Vrittis will subside by themselves.


When a Vritti subsides it leaves a definite impression in the subconscious mind. It is known as Samskara or latent impression. The sum total of all Samskaras is known as ?Karmasaya? or receptacle of works. This is called Sanchita Karma (accumulated works). When a man leaves the physical body, he carries with him his astral body of 17 Tattvas and the Karmasaya as well, to the mental plane.

Sometimes this though, can actually be the feeling of

Also, what appears to be , can actually be

Some weeks ago I was looking at two pictures. One was that of what might have been a person who might have been posing as a luminati--a being with an awakened consciousness. This man truly looked as if he had attained a surprising degree of ectasy.

I then decided to compare his picture with another person's--one who I know to actually have (at least) some degree of awakened consciousness. And, all the sham I saw...

Of course, my observations could have been subjective--based on some of my thoughts. What I saw, though, made me come to a realization, if that. The supposed luminati (the first person mentioned) was only a media sham (pose for the camera, but no subtle charisma). The subtle charisma, if it can be called that, is what matters.

Essences--conscious particles of the being--are minutely small. It's the subtle impressions that matter--not always what is overtly evident (appearences can be sometimes decieving).

I don't know if that's that case with the dream of the king or not. I do know that real virtues (if they can be called that) are much less dynamic (yet more real) than flashy appearences...If that makes any sense?...

Mantras for astral separation are said mentally (just like speaking to oneself mentally--no need to concentrate).

Sorry for the lack of information. The post has been edited to include "mentally".
