Body of Light and Sound

The gross-physical, subtle and causal body is made up of light and
sound.
Because of the latent tendencies we're born with and the accumulated "takes"
and impressions of the world imprinted and stored in the body, we go through
life, like the type-cast actor, acting out and reliving the same role of
impressions in every new setting.
This body is made up of a multiple of receptors and preceptors
through which impressions become encoded. These are the well known centers
or seven chakras we often refer to of groups of nerves, glands and organs,
plus a number of centers of greater and lesser magnitude. Six of these
centers are along the silver cord from the base of the spine up to the
pituitary gland. The centers of greater magnitude are along the gold cord
from the pituitary through the hypothalamus to the pineal gland and related
extensions throughout the brain. Minor centers are distributed throughout
the body. The centers of power that generate, organize (support) and
dissolve the body and its storehouse of impressions are the Kandal (between
the 4th vertebra and navel), the Sahasrara (opening through the tenth gate
in the crown of the head), and the Hrdayam, which is the self-effulgent
light that animates the body field and denotes the sense of "I" and realness
to all interpretations and projections made of the world.
These centers that make up the body field are a repository of
chemical electric configurations of impressions that become encoded in the
body field along certain energy pathways, the cells of organs, down to the
atomic structures of the genes and DNA. As a result, we become bound to a
certain views of the world and think and act according to those views to
life's events. The body is taken for "I" and the world is taken to be apart
and separate from the body.
With the practice of Kundalini Yoga, each major and minor center is
systematically charged and vitalized, so that the encoding that continuously
fires in these patterns, based on the energy channels that have developed to
imprint these impressions, begins to give way to a more evenly balanced and
complete energy flow to all the nerves, glands, organs and cells of these
centers.
The seer, which is to say the subject "I" or light of awareness of
identity, which previously believed itself to be these embedded impressions,
now begins to see through a clearer lens. The images on one's conscious
screen begin to fade in the same manner that the images on a screen of a
movie projection begin to fade to white as the power of the light in the
projector is turned up. In this way, the bondage to thought patterns gives
way to the light of single spontaneous intuition that is prior to any
thought, image or impression that previously bound the sense of identity.
In the practice of Kundalini Yoga, as the centers charge and come up
to their natural and full voltage, they begin to resonate. Certain sounds
(sacred to the centers) are combined with angles, mudras and movements and
specific breathing techniques to cause the accumulated energy in these
centers to begin to resonate in natural harmony with all the centers in the
body field.
With this harmonic resonance of light and sound permeating the body field,
the awareness begins to vibrate in unison with That which animates the
universe and pulsates in the body as "I as I."
Suddenly, the awareness of the seer becomes single and abides in
itself, as self-effulgent light in the heart, and you abide as pervasive
being light.
People come to Kundalini Yoga classes and within a matter of minutes, the
stresses, tensions, angers, frustrations, fears and all images gripping the
consciousness are entirely transformed into one smooth, placid, etheric
field of brightness and clarity.
Over time, as one's practice becomes regular, a new imprinting of
brightness prevails. The awareness of one's identity shifts to recognize
oneself as a consciousness, and no longer the images and impressions related
to the gross and subtle bodies alone.
Those who come to classes regularly begin to hear, understand and
dwell in the Truth of this consciousness, until one day, that Truth
recognizes Itself and emerges as The Truth.
Once the Truth is heard, a Singularity appears in the Spiritual
Heart that withdraws the sense of "I" from all the images, gross, subtle and
even the causal idea of "I" itself. Simultaneously, the body field -
waking-consciousness, subconscious and unconscious, is completely outshined.
What remains is the Truth - All is SAT NAM.
