Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Posted June 26, 2007 KUNDALINI YOGA - LIFE TRANSFORMING! Relaxing by applying the radiant pressure inherent in awareness throughout the body during and between KY exercises in each set. When one begins Kundalini Yoga, from the ancient yoga taught openly by Yogi Bhajan, one is hardly aware of the experience of radiance, except, possibly through the use of various drugs and medications, which open nadis in an imbalanced manner, creating disruptions to one's ability to perceive. With kundalini yoga practice, gradually the radiance is felt in different parts of the body. This radiance penetrates and expands until you can feel it and direct it with your applied awareness throughout the body. Without Sadhana much of the teachings of Yogi Bhajan cannot be heard, but with Sadhana an inner knowledge and experience emerges that is capable of hearing and using the teachings, which become a multi-dimensional Radiant Road to Reality. Once the penetration of radiance is complete, the body and the encoding of predispositions of the mind throughout the body begin to undergo a transformation, where the radiance from proper practice of applied awareness during and between KY exercises deepens, expands and is sustained, so that you begin to fee this radiance all the time. Each nadi is like a filament in a lamp in a dark room, where as you begin to turn the voltage up, you can see the brightening of the filament, until gradually the filament forms a pedal like glow and then becomes so bright that the whole room is lit and you no longer need to carry and direct the light from the lamp to see anything. In the practice of KY, as the radiance deepens and expands through the proper practice of applied awareness, the penetration of the radiance, which feels like voltage sometimes perculating, sometimes flowing, begins to disengage the encoding of predispositions and impressions throughout the body in relation to aspects of the impressions made. It's a bit like a computer that stores various bytes of information related to a picture in different areas, which all come together to form the one picture when the image is called for. So to, in the body, various aspects of an impression related to the abilities to consciously perceive in each of the 10 bodies come together as one image and impression, when triggered. With the practice of KY, however, the penetrating voltage, which is based on the singularity of the seer, i.e., the subject " I " inherent in applied awareness, causes the encoding of these impressions, impressions through which we project and interpret a world of our own making, to become disengaged, and we begin to see and experience ourselves, not as the body and conglomeration of thought impressions, but as an individual unit of consciousness itself. This means that there is a disengagement of attention to the use of the senses and the mind to experience, and we begin to acknowledge and experience that that which sees and knows is inherent in the seer, the self-effulgent light of consciousness, and not the mind and body which that unit of consciousness lights. This is the beginning of a transformation that takes place, where the polarity begins to shift from the outgoing mind to the experience of the trinity of hearing, recollection and abiding, as that part that provides the awareness of the mind and body. As the radiance increases, as with the light in the lamp described above, you begin to see and experience inside and around your body with the light of consciousness itself, and you experience yourself as a " field " of consciousness, which some spiritual texts call the " body field " (Krishna in the Bagavad Gita) because of the radiance in the body that produces this true experience of who we are as individual units of consciousness. As one's daily sadhana continues, the penetration of the voltage, which feels like the penetration of awareness, like a deep force of relaxation and radical disengagement of tension moving throughout the body, but also through the torso, the chest, the neck and throat and throughout the face, brain and head, radiating all around, begins to acquire a certain inner knowledge of the source of the field of consciousness. A kind of an unique singular impalpable intuition emerges into the conscious field of the ability to discern the difference between the seer - subject " I " - and that which the seer witnesses in the field of consciousness. It's as though thare is a pause in the prosess of seeing and kpwwing, like an eagle poised in mid-air with the totality of vision, seeing everything at once. The mind goes into a state of abatement. Something apparently new, yet ancient Ground grounds you in a transfiguration of Living Light. At that time, the Consciousness emanating through the Heart, the Solar Orb, reflects purely in the mind (the brain), the Lunar Orb, and there is a radical disengagement of attention, in which all at once you recollect your Self as always having been single and pervasive. In the body, you feel as though the penetrating radiance is now completely overcome by something at once all consuming and penetrating without limit, like a Sun's force of gravity and spatial penetration of light, a light in which no other light is needed to see. Seeing, being and knowing merge into One. And you recollect who and what you are.\, and remain abiding in and as that Singularity. With one's daily Sadhana, this emerges on its own, but the " event horizon, " or what Yogi Bhajan calls the experience of the " impact " between the " individual unit of consciousness " that you have awakened to through Sadhana and know yourself to be, and the " Universal Consciousness, " is triggered by the Words in the scriptures uttered by the Saviors, Sages and Saints that remind us that who and what we really are is always undifferentiated from the Universal Consciousness and that we are always " Consciousness Itself " not even the " field, " i.e., the Temple of the Body in which this experience was remembered. When the mind is pure and detached from thoughts and impressions, experiencing itself as the " field " of consciousness, then what the scriptures call " hearing " occurs. This " hearing " which is the key element described in every religion is the Self recollecting Itself as Truth and the source of all Consciousness. This is why Saviors such as Christ, would say, after emerging from the desert, " I am the Truth " and " I am the Light of the World " or in John 1;9: " He is the True Light that lights each man born into this world. " Or why Guru Nanak after emerging from a cave, would say " Sat Nam " which is to say " I am the Truth. " From that point onward there is a steady pulsation in the Heart, which is also felt everywhere, a soundless reverberation of the " I " as " I " or " I, I, I, I,... " versus " I am ... this and that. " The process of awakening is that one begins to become aware of the subconscious realm, which is where the dream world is created with both the sense of subject and a world for the subject to witness (a microcosm of God's creation of the world we become aware of in our waking state and superimpose with our own island of impressions), only instead of the dreams, we perceive the astral planes filled with teachings of who we really are, as appearing within our field of consciousness. This proceeds on to the waking experience of the inconscient, where the archetypes are experiences within one's conscious field. This is called jagrat-sushupti. And finally the pulsing of the " I " in which one abides as single pervasive Consciousness without cause, beyond time (Creation). This is called Turya. Usually, one's early Sadhana (with proper practice) will take you to this experience of who and what you are quickly, and you will be left with the reverberation of the Truth in and around you. As you continue Sadhana, all these aspects that you covered at once begin to reemerge and fill you out completely. When the Consciousness no longer sees its limit and identity in the thought impressions, so that you begin to be wakefully aware in the subconscient and unconscient, you will experience this also in the waking state, a field, like a sphere of light within which there is no sound, wherein the distinction between inside and outside of the body is lost and only the sense of " I am " and pervading Goodness without distinction or separation are experienced. Regarding the proper practice. This can be read about in the 2 weblinks: http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/worddocuments/Pieters_Articles/AProperUnders\ tandingTheActive-PassiveAspectsofKundaliniYogaPractice6.pdf http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/worddocuments/Pieters_Articles/WhatisYoga%20\ 010305A4formatting.pdf These articles are the result of TT classes taught in 2001 through 2005, and provided as handouts to TT students. This relaxing between KY exercises in the way described using applied awareness was the way that all KY classes were taught in the early years. The purpose of the articles was just to bring that back into common practice the way the sets were taught, through which the Sadhana becomes effective, and the results described above are realized. The conclusion is simple. Just add to daily life a Sadhana of proper practice, and set in motion and inexorable process. Pieter Quote
