Don't worry about the various types of phenomonon that appear in consciousness, rather learn to consider to whom these appear.

Dear Henry,

 

I think that many of us have had these kinds of experiences. The physiology of

many of us is open to many varieties of such experiences. The real matter is

that all these appear upon and within the field of infinite, all pervasive

consciousness. This consciousness is Self-Luminous Being, undifferentiated and

"whole" within us, through and around us. This Whole Being lights each of us in

the Heart. From there all the nerves (nadis) extend throughout the body with

one major nerve rising to the brain. In this area of the Heart, to the right of

the sternum, is felt the sensation of "I" and this "I" sense or awareness of "I"

fills all the nerves, such that, as we experience sensations of the body and

impressions, images, takes and thoughts in the mind, we come to the idea that "I

am these sensations, I am these thoughts and images, etc." The mind is so

focused on fixing its sense of identity with this "I" sense that a fictitious

adjunct appears, which we call by the name of "ego."

 

With the practice of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the vibratory

frequency and energy level of the body begins to exceed that of thoughts, and

the focusing power of the mind, which we call attention, begins to identify with

this more grounded and balanced image of itself as, what we might call a "unit

of consciousness" or Atman.

 

At some point, there is an Intelligent force that feels like awakening from a

stupor or amnesia, in which one begins to recollect an essential Truth, that

this sense of "I" is single and pervasive being, and suddenly there is an inward

pulling that dissolves the attachment to impressions of the mind, leaving over

simply "I pulsing as I."

 

We have the thought that the body is separate from the universe, and we have the

thought that there are separate beings, but as the body fills with light, the

mind is outshined, and we awaken to our True consciousness, in which the

universe and each of us appears. We realize that the mechanism of seeing has

always been this, with the surface appearance, like a residual after effect,

that seeing is from one to another, from here to there. And we remain abiding

singly as that pervasive Being. - the mind of virtue, purity and light, love and

compassion within a silence that cannot be heard, which emanates through and

supports the existence of the universe from the smallest atom to its great

vastness through time - timeless - timelessness.

 

Kundalini Yoga is a science, technology, means, method though which we become

aware of the pranas and inner sounds of the body, which begin to balance into an

electromagnetic whole that yokes the unit of consciousness to its source of

illumination, and as that source, which we call Brahman, the Father, Nirvana,

Whahe Guru, begins to fill the body, the impressions of the mind are outshined

and dissolve, leaving over simply our True Self - single, pervasive,

unconditioned by time and space.

 

In summary, don't worry about the phenomenon that appear within the mind,

consider rather to whom these appear, and abide as That.

Tiny Stars & Open Eyes...WHY?

 

I would wish to share with you a very peculiar thing about me.

I observed long, long time ago (as a kid) that I could look into AIR and observe

very Clearly, a Countless numbers of tiny, Atom-Like Shiny Stars. I still don't

know what they are! They move about slowly yet Gracefully in Empty Space and

Seem not to be affected by either wind or Weather, only that they become more

Vague during the Night Times. I could still see these things with or without my

Optical Spectacles.

 

Secondly, I found out that contrary to the Generally accepted teaching of

closing the Eyes during any

VISUALIZATION Exercise, my VISUAL IMAGES seem to be more ACTIVE and IMMEDIATE in

MANIFESTATION, potent with very GREAT POWERS; whenever I go with Open Eyes.

 

Unfortunately, I am so scared of all these and would never discuss with No one.

It scares me to death. I

don't know what is wrong with me. Am I doing the wrong thing? Have I got a

contrary Nature or...can someone tell me what is going on? Believe me, With my

Eyes open...My Visual Images, can almost be Touched and Felt but I get easily

scared, and would suddenly stop...I am afraid I can't do it the way others

Normally do it. With eyes Closed it is never the Same...I feel even Weak and as

if I'd be playing. Am I then Abnormal? HELP:::HELP:::HELP:::PLEASE
