HOW YOU FEEL WITHOUT ANY - KARMA

                        ❤  KARMA AND THE ALINGNMENT 

                                           OF BODIES ❤

                                                                           💫💫💫

                          I AM OFTEN ASKED WHAT MY MESSAGE IS AS A GURU.

                    👉👀

                      IT AMUSES ME, BECAUSE I HAVE NONE. I TELL PEOPLE. YOU ARE NOT STUDYING WITH ME. I HAVE NOTHING TO TEACH. I WANT YOU TO GET LOST! I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO THAT PLACE OF BORDERLESS IGNORANCE - THAT THE ANCIENTS HAVE CALLED ENLIGHTENMENT - AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE IS TO LOSE YOU YOURSELF. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

                         TEACHIGS WILL NOT GET YOU THROUGH THE MANY INSIDIOUS KARMIC BLOCKS IN YOUR LIFE. THE KARMIC WALLS ARE LIKE SHEETS OF GLASS. IF THEY WERE LIKE WALLS OF BRICK, YOU COULD SEE THEM AND YOU COULD BREAK THEM. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH SHEETS OF GLASS IS THAT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE OPEN, BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO REACH OUT, YOU ARE LOCKED IN.

            👉👀

                           A TEACHING, AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, BECOMES A BLOCK BY ITSELF. YOU WILL TWIST IT TO YOUR CONVENIENCE. PEOPLE HAVE DONE THIS TO TEACHINGS ALL OVER THE WORLD. INITIALLY, A TEACHINGS HAS IN IMPACT ON YOU BECAUSE IT IS NEW AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW IT WORKS. BUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU WILL START TWISTING IT TO YOUR COMVENIENCE. YOU WILL MAKE THE TEACHINGS SUPPORT YOU. THIS IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, BECAUSE THE TEACHING IS NOT MEANT TO SUPPORT YOU, IT IS MEANT TO DEMOLISH YOU!

                    ONCE A TEACHING HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF CONVENIENCE, IT IS NO GOOD. THIS IS WHY A GURU TALKS FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS THAT SEEM CONTRARY. THE AIM IS NOT TO ALLOW YOU TO SETTLE ANYWHERE. THE MOMENT YOU SETTLE ANYWHERE . THE MOMENT YOU SETTLE, YOU WILL START USING THE TEACHING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

            👉👀

                   THIS IS ALSO WHY A GURU ALWAYS OFFERS AN ENERGY-BASED PRACTICE. JUST DOING A DAILY KRIYA- EVERY MORNING, SITTING AND BREATHING IN A CERTAIN WAY - CAN DECIMATE THESE KARMIC BLOCKS. IF YOU DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TEACHINGS, IT'S OKAY. IF YOU KEEP DOING THE PRACTICE, AFTER SOME TIME, YOU FIND A NEW SENSE OF OPENNESS AND FREEDOM IN YOU. THAT IS ALWAYS THE BEDROCK YOU CAN RELY ON.

                    WORK ON THE LEVEL OF THE ENERGY BODY IS ABOUT AN ENTIRE RECYCLING OF YOUR ENERGY. WHEN THIS RECYCLING IS UNDER WAY, IT WILL BRING BACK MANY IMPULSES, COMPULSIVE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS, MENTAL HABITS, AND EMOTIONAL WHIRLPOOLS. THOS IS INEVITABLE, AND IT IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. THIS IS SIMPLY WHAT WE MEAN BY KARMA. WHEN YOU START CULTIVATING YOUR ENERGY TO ACCESS A DIFFERENT DIMENSION, THE KARMIC CLEANSING IS INEVITABLE.

            👉👀

                          THIS IS BECAUSE THE WHOLE KARMIC STRUCTURE IS BEING DISMANTLED ON SOME LEVEL. WITH CONSTANT PRACTICE, THE ASPIRATION TO UNBURN THE POT, TO DISSOLVE IT INTO PURE CLAY. YOU ARE MELTING THE FROZEN COMPLEX OF HABITS AND PREDISPOSITIONS INTO PURE ENERGY. ONLY WHEN YOUR ENERGIES BECOME THIS FLUID CAN YOU SIT AND MEDITATE. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOW BECOME PURE LIFE. YOU ARE NO LONGER A BUNDLE OF THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS. YOU ARE IN A STATE OF RECEPTIVITY TO GRACE.

                          

                         REMEMBER THIS, THEREIS NO UTILITY TO A SPIRITUAL PROCESS. YOU CANNOT USE IT, BUT YOU CAN BE TRANSFORMED BY IT. TANSFORMATION MEANS THAT YOU LOSE YOUR ORIGINAL FORM AND ARE COMPLETELY WILLING TO TAKE ON NEW FORMS. YOU BECOME AN UNBURNT POT, AS IT WERE. YOU CAN NO LONGER BE FILLED WITH WATER, BUT, AS PURE CLAY, YOU ARE CAPABLE OF TAKING ON AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF FORMS.

                     👉👀

    

                         ONCE YOUR ENERGIES BEGIN TO RISE, YOU WILL FIND YOUR LIFE SUDDENLY SEEMS MORE EVENTFUL THAN BEFORE, INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY. THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO HESISTATE, BUT TO KEEP THE PRACTICE GOING FULL THROTTLE. THE YOGIC KRIYAS ARE STRUCTURED IN SUCH  A WAY THAT THEY WILL NEVER CAUSE YOU ANY HARM.

                        AS WE HAVE SEEN EARLIER, THERE CAN SOMETIMES BE A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE PHYSICAL BODY AND THE ENERGY BODY. SUPPOSE YOU TOOK A LITTLE CAR AND ATTACHED A POWERFUL ENGINE TO IT - IT COULD BE A DISASTER. THE CAR WOULD FALL APART, NOT BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS BAD, BUT BECAUSE IT IS TOO GOOD. SIMILARLY, IF YOUR ENERGY BODY IS GREATLY ENHANCED WITHOUT ENHANCING THE PHYSICAL BODY OR WORKING WITH THE KARMIC SUSTANCE, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ONE OR THE OTHER WILL COLLAPSE.

                     ANY ATTEMPT TO EMPOWER THE ENERGY BODY, THEREFORE, MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY WORK ON EVERY OTHER LEVEL. BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INITIATED INTO POWERFUL KRIYAS, THEY NEED TO DO A RIGOROUS AMOUNT OF SADHANA. WITHOUT PHYSICAL PRACTICE, CANNOT EXPERIENCES THE KRIYAS IN ALL THEIR DEPTH AND INTENSITY.

                👉👀 

                         WHEN PREPARING FOR INITIATION INTO POWERFUL KRIYAS, PRACTITIONERS MUST ALSO PREPARE THE MIND. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR SET OF IDENTIFICATIONS, TO WIDEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHO THEY ARE. WHEN THEY ARE REMINDED THAT THEIR ABILITY TO RESPOND EXTENDS TO THE ENTIRE COSMOS (NOT JUST TO A FAMILY AND COMMUNITY), THAT INCLUSIVE INVOLVEMENT IS FAR LESS ENTANGLING THAN SELECTIVE INVOLVEMENT, THAT THEY ARE PARENTS NOT JUST TO THEIR CHILDREN BUT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, THE KARMIC STRUCTURE LOOSENS CONSIDERABLY. NOW IT CAN ACCOMODATE A CONSIDERABLE EXPANSION OF THE ENERGY BODY.

                      IF ENERGIES EXPAND WHEN THE KARMIC SUBSTANCE SITS TIGHT UPON YOU, YOU COULD FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING RIPPED APART. THIS CAN BE HUGELY DISRUPTIVE TO YOUR LIFE. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ENDURE IT, AN ENHANCEMENT OF THE ENERGY BODY IS POINTLESS. IT IS IDEAL, THEREFORE, TO EXPAND THE KARMI STRUCTURE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE INTENSITY THAT ARISES IN THE ENERGY BODY DURING KRIYA YOGA.

THE SENSE OF TIME AND SPACE (KARMA)

                              THE MENTAL BODY

                               ❤👉

                              IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS MOMENT JUST ONCE,

                          YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FULL OUT OF IT.

                          💫  PLUNGING INTO THE PRESENT💫

                           IN THE MODERN WORLD, RULED BY THE INTELLECT, THE MIND IS FAR MORE DOMINANT THAN EVER BEFORE. THE BODY IS NO LONGER THE MOST POWERFUL PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES. IN AN AGE OF VIRTUAL REALITY,  WHERE LIVES CAN BELIVED OUT ALMOST ENTIRELY IN CYBERSPACE, PEOPLE ARE SOMETIMES BARELY AWARE THAT THEY OWN A BODY!

                           HOWEVER, IF WE ARE ABLE TO USE OUR MOND TO MAKE A SHIFT IN OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE CAN MAKE A PARADIGM SHIFT - ONE THAT CAN CREATE THE RIGHT AMBIENCE FOR THE DEEPER JOURNEY TOWARD LIBERATION.

                         ❤💫

                        THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO A NEW PHILOSOPHY. AS A GURU, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN OFFERING SPIRITUAL ADVICE. THERE IS NOTHING NEW TO ADD TO THE BARRAGE OF SPIRITUAL TEACHNGS TO WHICH WE ARE HEIR. WHAT I OFFER IS A WAY, A LIVING PROCESS. THIS IS BEST TRANSMITTED DURING A LIVE PROGRAM IN A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE. BUT EVEN IN A BOOK, A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT CAN OCCUR IF THE READER IS WILLING AND IN THE RIGHT STATE OF OPENNESS. WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN INVITATION TO A LIVING WISDOM. AN INVITATION TO SHED VAST VOLUMES OF KARMIC BAGGAGE SO WE CAN BECOME RECEPTIVE TO GRACE.

                     NOW, HUMAN BEINGS, AS WE ALL KNOW, EXPERIENCE TIMES AS THREE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS : PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. OUR LIVES AND OUR LANGUAGES ARE STRUCTURED AROUND THIS.

                         ❤💫

                            STOP FOR A MOMENT AND ASK YOURSELF, WHEN I AM NOT LOST IN THESE MENTAL CONSTRUCTS OF MEMORY OR IMAGINATION, WHERE AM I?

                     THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE ANSWER TO THAT, THE PRESENT.

                        THE PRESENT IS NOT A CREED, A MATTER OF FAITH. IT IS A REALITY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO BE IN THE MOMENT. THE PRESENT ISN'T AN IDEA. AND THE FACT IS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO BE IN IT. YOU ARE IN THE MOMENT. THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO BE. EXISTENTIALLY, THIS IS THE ONLY TRUTH. IT IS JUST THAT YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO IT.

                       ❤💫

                       WHAT KARMA ENABLES YOU TO GATHER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LIFE. WHAT YOU CALL "MYSELF" IS SIMPLY THE NAME YOU GIVE TO THE VOLUME OF LIFE THAT YOU HAVE CAPTURED. BUT IF WE WIPE OUT ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPRINTS, YOU AS A PERSON WILL NOT EXIST. YOU WILL EXIST AS PURE LIFE. EXISTENTIALLY, YOU ARE LIFE IN ITS ESSENCE. IN THAT ESSENTIAL, UNMANIFEST STATE, YOU ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF TIME AND YOU ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF KARMA. YOU ARE DEATHLESS, INDESTRUCTIBLE, ETERNAL.

                       SO WHAT IS LEFT WHEN THE MYTH OF INDIVIDUALITY IS SHATTERED? YOU SIMPLY REACH THE END OF CYCLICAL TIME.

                       ❤💫

                         THIS MOMENT CONTAINS AN INFINITE NUMBER OF POSSIBILITIES. YOU CAN DESTROY YOUE ENTIRE PSYCHOLOGIAL STRUCTURE AND CREATE A NEW ONE AT THIS VERY MOMENT.  OR YOU CAN STOP CREATING ENTIRELY AND EXIST AS PURE, FORMLESS LIFE. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE CHOSEN FREEDOM OVER FORM, TIMELESSNESS OVER TEMPORALITY, THE PRESENT MOMENT OVER CYCLICAL TIME.

                      THINK ABOUT IT. YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF TIME IS ESSENTIALLY CYCLICAL. THE PLANET SPINS ONCE, YOU CALL IT A DAY. THE MOON REVOLVES AROUND THE PLANET, YOU SAY IT IS A MONTH. THE PLANET GOES AROUND THE SUN, YOU PROCLAIM THAT IT IS A YEAR. EVERYTHING THAT IS PHYSICAL IS CYCLICAL. IN THE EAST, THE WORLD OF CYCLES IS CALLED SAMSARA. WHEN WE TALK OF TRANSCENDING KARMA, WE ARE ESSENTIALLY THINKING OF TRANSCEND OF THE CYCLES OF SAMSARA.

                     ❤💫

                     ONCE  YOU BREAK THE CYCLE, THERE IS NO "YOU" AND "ME" ANYMORE. FOR INDIVIDUALLITY EXISTS  ONLY IN TIME AND SPACE. ONCE WE CROSS THE BOUNDARIES OF TIME AND SPACE, OF MEMORY AND IMAGINATION, THERE IS NO "US" AND "THEM". THERE IS NO "HERE" AND "THERE". THERE IS NO "YESTERDAY" AND "TOMORROW". THERE IS ONLY THIS MOMENT, AND THIS MOMENT IS ETERNITY.

                     THE MIND CAN CREATE A COSMOST OF ITS OWN, BUT EVERYTHING IN IT IS A PROJECTION OF YOUR OWN MAKING. YOU HAVE BEGUN TO BELIEVE THAT EACH PROJECTION IS A CREATION IN ITS RIGHT. IT IS NOT.

     

                      YOU HAVE A SENSE OF TIME AND SPACE ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THROUGH THE PRISM OF YOUR ACCUMULATED KARMA. BUT IF YOU GO BEYOND YOUR THOUGHT, YOUR EMOTION, AND YOUR BODY AND EXPERIENCE THIS MOMENT JUST ONCE, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FALL OUT OF IT.

                    THIS PHYSICAL REALITY THAT  YOU KNOW IS WAY BELOW ONE PERCENT OF THE UNIVERSE. EVEN THE PLANET IS NOT FOREVER, IT IS AN INCONSEQUENTIAL BALL OF MUD IN THE LARGER SCHEME OF THINGS. YOU ARE A SUPER-MINUSCULE SPECK ON THAT. YOU FORGET THAT AND PRETEND THAT YOU CAN CREATE AN ENTIRE UNIVERSE BASED ON THE LITTLE DATA YOU HAVE GATHERED.

                  ❤💫

                          YOU THEN SEE YOURSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL IN OPPOSITIO TO THE WORLD. YOU SEE THE LARGER UNIVERSE AS TRYING TO CRUSH YOUR WORLD. BUT IT IS ONLY TRYIG TO CRUSH SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST! CREATION IS SIMPLY REMINDING YOU THAT YOU ARE TAKING THE VIRTUAL TO BE REAL. IT IS THE MAGNANIMITY OF CREATION THAT ALLOWS YOU AN EXPERIECE OF INDIVIDUALITY, EVEN THOUGH YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NOTHIG THAT YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN.

                     OF COURSE, YOU CANHAVE  FUN WITH THE GAME OF INDIVIDUALITY AND THE DANCE OF DUALITY. I DO NOT WANT TO DISCREDIT YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE IN ANY WAY. BUT I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT IT IS A GAME - AND ONE CREATED BY YOU. GO AHEAD AND ENJOY THE RIDE, IF IT APPEALS TO YOU.JUST DON'T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY THAT'S ALL! 

THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF KARMA

 

             

                                                                           ❤❤

                                 SPIRITUAL WAY TO 

                          UNDERSTAND THE KARMA 

                                                                      💫💫💫

                                     SPIRITUALITY AND FAST-FORWARD KARMA

                         ❤👇

                            WHEN YOU CONSCIOUSLY SEEK FREEDOM FROM KARMA THROUGH A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE, YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY ON FAST-FORWARD. WHEN YOU CHURN UP YOUR INNER LIFE, CERTAIN DIMENSIONS OF YOUR KARMA COME TO THE FORE. AT SUCH JUNCTURES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXPERIENCE INTENSE PAIN OR DISCOMFORT. OF COURSE, THIS COULD MEAN THAT YOU HAVE CONTRACTED SOME AILMENT. BUT, FREQUENTLY, THIS IS JUST YOUR PAST KARMA SURFACING AND MANIFESTING ITSELF IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

                                                              💫💫💫

                           THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SPIRITUAL PROCESS IS TO TAKEN ON MORE OF A KARMIC LOAN THAN YOUR ALLOTED ONE IN ORDER TO FINISH OFF AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT MEANS YOU DO NOT WANT TO KEEP REPEATING THE SAME CYCLES AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO IF YOU ARE IN AN ACTIVE SPIRITUAL PROCESS, YOU MAY FIND EVERYTHING MOVING AT A BEWILDERING PACE. PHYSICAL TROUBLES THAT USED TO BESET YOU EVERY SIX MONTHS ARE NOW COMING UP EVERY SIX HOURS! THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO WORK OUT YOUR KARMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT TO LIVE A SANITIZED LIFE THAT REGARDS SPIRITUALLY AS MERE PLACIDITY.

                       ❤👇

                    IF YOUR KARMA WERE TO UNWIND SLOWLY, IT WOULD PROBABLY CREATE SMALL ACHES OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. BUT THE FAST-FORWARD OF KARMA OFTEN MEANS YOU MIGHT EXPERIENCE INTENSE PAIN FLEETINGLY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME LESS ALIVE AND LESS JOYFUL AND THEIR LIVES SLOWER AND MORE APATHETIC BECAUSE THEY EXPERIENCE LOW-LEVEL PAIN FOR STRETCHES OF TIME. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY SIMPLY CRANMS UP THE PROCESS SO WHAT MIGHT HAVE SPREAD OVER THREE MONTHS OR A YEAR HAPPENS IN A FEW MINUTES.

                                                                    💫💫💫

                      IT IS IMPORTANT OF ALLOW THIS FAST-FORWARD KARMIC PROCESS TO HAPPEN. DO NOT SUPPRESS IT. IT IS WISEST TO LET YOUR PHYSICAL BODY BURN UP ALLOW ALLOTTED KARMA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE BASIS OF HATHA YOGA IS JUST THIS: YOU LEARN TO HANDLE PAIN IN THE SAME WAY AS YOU HANDLE PLEASURE. IT YOU LEARN THIS, YOU ACHIEVE AN EQUANIMITY THAT WILL CRY YOU BEYOND THE TURBULENCE OF THE KARMIC PROCESS.

                    ❤👇

                   IN YOGA, THE PRACTICE OF KRIYA OFTEN HASTENS THE KARMIC PROCESS WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH IT. WHEN YOU PUT CHEMICALS INTO THE SYSTEM, HOWEVER, YOU ARE CREATING ANOTHER KARMA FOR WHICH YOU PAY A PRICE IN THE FUTURE.

                                                                   💫💫💫

                       THOSE WHO ARE MEDITATIVE WILL EXPERIENCE DEEP LEVELS OF JOY. BUT THIS ALSO OPENS THEM UP TO DEEP LEVELS OF PAIN. THIS  PAIN IS ONLY FOR A SHORT DURATION, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEIR HIGHER LEVELS OF AWARENESS ALLOWS THEM TO WORK IT OUT MORE QUICKLY. WHEN YOU GO INTO DEEPER LEVELS OF MEDITATION, IF YOU TAKE A SINGLE WRONG STEP, THE EFFECT MANIFESTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AND YOU WILL HAVE TO CORRECT IT,  BUT FOR THE PERSON WHO LIVES IN RELATIVE UNAWARENESS, THE PROCESS MAY BE SLOW BUT MUCH DEEPER. WHAT TAKES A LIFETIME COULD BE OVER ON THIS VERY DAY FOR THE SPIRITUALLY AWARE PERSON BECAUSE THEY IMMEDIATELY TAKE CORRECTIVE MEASURES.

                      ❤👇

                       IF YOU BECOME MEDITATIVE AND STILL CARRY NEGATIVTY, YOUR NEGATIVE KARMAS BECOME A THOUSAND TIMES MORE POWERFUL BECAUSE YOU HAVE BECOME THAT MUCH MORE SENSTIVIE AND RECEPTIVE. SUPPOSE YOU CULTIVATE THE SOIL AND ENRICH IT WITH MANURE.  THE CROPS WILL GROW WELL, BUT THE SAME MANURE WILL ALSO ENABLE WEEDS TO GROW. SIMILARLY, WHEN YOU CULTIVATE A MEDITATIVE STATE AND ALLOW NEGATIVE EMOTIONS TO FOURISH, INNER SUFFERING INCREASES DRAMATICALLY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE EXTRA CAUTIONS ABOUT WEEDING WHEN YOU ARE IN SUCH A STATE. OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH A FOREST OF WEEDS AND NO CROP!

                                                                 💫💫💫

                    THE REASON THOSE ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH HAVE A DAILY PRACTICE IS JUST THIS, TO ENSURE THAT KARMIC STAGNATION DOES NOT HAPPEN. YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU HAVE A DAILY PRACTICE AND YOU STOP IT FOR SIX MONTHS, MANY RECURRENT ISSUES - PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL - THAT HAVE NOT BOTHERED YOU FOR A WHILE START RETURNING. THIS IS HOW THE KARMIC CYLCE WORKS. YOU MAY HAVE BELIEVED YOU WERE TRANSFORMED, BUT YOU WILL SUDDENLY FIND ALL KINDS OF COMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS RETURNING WITH A VENGEANCE. ONLY PRACTICE, OR SADHANA, HELPS BREAK THE CYCLICAL MOVEMENT OF LIFE.

FREE FROM KARMIC RULES

 

                    

                              HOW TO BECOME FREE FROM

                                             KARMA

                                                               💫💫💫

                                            ❤ SADHANA❤

                

                           IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND YOURSELF AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE THAT EVERYTHING YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOURSELF IS AN ACQUIRED IDENTITY.

                          ONE SIMPLE WAY TO APPROACH THIS REALIZATION IS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY EXHAUSED EVERY NIGHT BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF ON BED. YOU WILL ALWAYS SLEEP WELL AND DEEPLY. MANY SUPERFLOUS IDEAS ABOUT YOURSELF WILL FALL AWAY, AND SO SLEEP OF THIS KIND CAN ALSO BE KARMICALLY REJUVENATING.

                                                                         ☺

                         BUT THERE IS A MORE CONSCIOUS EXERCISE YOU COULD PERFORM. EVERY NIGHT, SIT ON YOUR BED, PREFERABLY CROSS-LEGGED, WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. REMIND YOURSELF THAT ALL MEMORY IS ACCUMULATION. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU IS ACQUIRED. YOUR IDEAS OF NATIONALITY, RACE, RELIGION, ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIPS OF LIKE AND DISLIKE, LOVE AND HATE.

                  SLOWLY, GENTLY, START SETTING ASIDE EVERYTHING WITH WHICH YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. THIS COULD MEAN SETTING ASIDE PEOPLE, AS WELL AS YOUR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS. REMIND YOURSELF THAT EVEN YOUR BODY IS AN ACCUMULATION.

                                                      ☺

                       IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE ON YOUR DEATHBED AND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IN TWO MINITES. PUT AWAY EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT YOU - YOUR SENSATIONS, THOUGHTS, AND EMOTIONS. SEE YOUR SLEEP AS IMPENDING DEATH. YOU MAY FEEL A CERTAIN FEAR AND STRUGGLE WITHIN YOU INITIALLY. BUT IT WILL PASS. LEAVE YOUR BODY SITTING AND SIMPLY LIE BACK WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED. GO TO BED LIKE THIS.

                        IF YOU DO THIS EACH NIGHT, A GREAT DEAL OF KARMA CAN BE WORKED POUT EACH NIGHT. IF YOU FALL ASLEEP AS IF YOU'RE DYING, YOU WILL SEE THAT YOUR KARMA BARELY HAS ANY IMPACT ON YOU. YOU WILL FIND OVER TIME THAT YOU ARE MOVING FROM COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR TO A CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE.

                    YOU WILL REBORN DAILY.

                                                       ☺

                        THE PHYSICAL WORLD IS A PRODUCT OF POLARITIES, MASCULINE AND FEMININE, YIN AND YANG, IDA AND PINGALA, SHIVA AND SHAKTI, RIGHT BRAIN AND LEFT BRAIN. THE LONGING TO FIND THE UNION OF POLARITIES FINDS EXPRESSION THROUGH AMBITION, CONQUEST, LOVE, SEX AND YOGA.

                       YOGA, AS WE ALL KNOW, MEANS UNION. THE SIMPLEST FORM OF YOGA IS TO PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IN NAMASKAR. NAMASKAR BRINGS HARMONY BETWEEN THE TWO POLARITIES WITHIN YOU. TRY PUTTING YOUR HANDS TOGETHER, BRINGING BOTH PALMS TOGETHER IN PROPER ALINGNMENT, AND LOOKING AT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WITH LOVING ATTENTION. IN THREE TO FIVE MINUTES, YOU WILL BEGIN TO HARMONIZE.

                                   

                                                          ☺

                          NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO PEACE. NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO LOVE. NAMASKAR YOURSELF INTO UNION. LET US PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER AND INITE THE WORLD. MAY YOU UNFOLD YOU BEING WITH FOLDED HANDS.

HOW YOU FEEL AFTER KARMA ?

 

                           

                                THE HUMAN BODY 

                                            AFTER KARMA

                                                               💫💫💫

                      ❤👀

                          HOW DO ENLIGHTENED BEINGS SURVIVE? IT IS POSSIBLE TO RETAIN THE PHYSICAL BODY AFTER BREAKING THE KARMIC BUBBLE? IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE AFTER BURNING ALL ALL ONE'S KARMA?

                    IT IS, BUT IT TAKES ENGINEERING. SINCE ENLIGHTENED BEINGS NO LONGER HAVE A KARMIC FOOTPRINT, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO RETAIN A PHYSICAL FORM. YOGIS HAVE VARIOUS TRICKS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. ONE OPTION IS TO PERFORM CONSCIOUS KARMA TO RETAIN THE BODY. MANY MYSTICS DOWN THE AGES HAVE DONE THIS. OTHERWISE, THE TEMPTATION TO LEAVE THE BODY IS VERY STRONG ONCE THE KARMIC BUBBLE HAS BURST.

                      ❤👀

                       DIFFERENT YOGIS HAVE CREATED DIFFERENT METHODS. MANY HAVE MAINTAINED SOME SIMPLE CONSCIOUS ATTACHMENTS, EITHER TOWARD A SPIRITUAL MISSION OR TOWARD FOOD. THESE ARE SIMPLE DESIRES THAT THEY CAN DROP AT ANY TIME. THOSE AROUND THEM HAVE OFTEN BEEN CONFOUNDED BY THEIR BEHAVIOR. HOW COULD SOMEONE SO SPIRITUALLY ELEVATED BE ATTACHED TO SOMETHING SO WORLDLY? BUT IT IS USUALLY A CONSCIOUS NEED TO CREATE KARMA IN ORDER TO RETAIN THE PHYSICAL BODY.

                                                   ☺

                 SOON AFTER THE CONSECRATION OF THE DHYANALINGA, MY ENERGY BODY WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. I HAD USED IT INTENSELY AND FREELY, AND IT WAS UNFIT TO CONTINUE LIFE IN ANY WAY. MEDICALLY, I WAS A WALKING DISASTER. LUMPS WOULD MANIFEST IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF MY BODY, BUT TEN DAYS LATER THEY WOULD BE GONE. I WOULD GO FOR A BLOOD TEST ONE DAY, AND DOCTORS WOULD DIAGNOSE VARIOUS BIZARRE DISEASES. BUT A MONTH LATER, THERE WOULD BE NO EVIDENCE OF THESE. I WAS DOING MY BEST TO RESTORE THE ENERGY BODY, BUT I ALSO SOUGHT MEDICAL DIAGNOSES TO FIND OUT THE EXTENT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE.

                   ❤👀

                 THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE SUSTAINED MY LIFE AT THIS TIME HAD I NOT LINKED MY ENERGY BODY TO THE ENERGY SYSTEMS OF SOME OTHER BEINGS. I SELDOM TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS BECAUSE IT WOULD SOME LIKE SOME FAIRYTALE. BUT I MENTION THIS HERE TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF JUST HOW SOPHISTICATED THE ENTIRE SCIENCE OF THE ENERGY BODY IS.

                                                     ☺

                        EXISTENTIALLY, NO DISTINCTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE LIFE OF ONE BEING AND THAT OF ANOTHER. BUT PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, THERE IS, OF COURSE, SEPARATENESS. BY LINKING THE TWO ON AN ENERGY LEVEL, YOU CAN CREATE A CERTAIN LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR YOURSELF. THAT IS WHAT IS DID UNTIL I FIXED MY PHYSICAL BODY. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME, BECAUSE I MAITAINED A HECTIC WORKD SCHEDULE THROUGH IT ALL.

                       ❤👀

                       MIXING UP ONE'S LIFE ENERGIES WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IS A WAY OF EXTENDING ONE'S LIFE OR ELSE OF AVERTING CERTAIN KARMIC EVENTS.  IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2005, FOR INSTANCE, IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THAT I WOULD HAVE A MAJOR INJURY IN RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS WAS NOT AN INJURY THAT COULD BE AVOIDED BY BEING CAREFUL. IT WAS AN INEVITABILITY. BY MIXING MY ENERGY BODY WITH THOSE OF OTHERS, HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO CONFUSE THE KARMIC PROCESS, AS IT WERE, AVERT IT.

                                                     ☺

                      IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXTEND THE HUMAN FORM FOR A VERY LONG TIME IF ONE KNOWS HER. THE EAST IS REPLETE WITH STORIES OF YOGIS WHO HAVE LIVED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THESE ARE DISMISSED AS EXAGERATIONS TODAY, BUT A VERY AUTHENTIC ARCANE SCIENCE OF LONGEVITY MAKES THIS POSSIBLE. THE QUESTION, HOWEVER, IS, WHY EXTEND HUMAN LIFE FOR NO REASON? IT REQUIRES MUCH MANIPULATION OF LIFE ENERGY, WHICH INCURS ITS OWN SHARE OF KARMA, IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO MEDDLE WITH LIFE ON THAT LEVEL UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR IT.

                  ❤👀

                 THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN INCIDENT OF A MYSTIC WHO SAT AND MEDITATED ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER GANGA IN INDIA. ONE DAY, THERE WAS A FLOOD. HE CONTINUED TO MEDITATE AND WAS BURIED UNDER THE EARTH, SIX MONTHS LATER, WHEN CULTIVATORS WERE PLOWING THE LAND, THEY ACCIDENTALLY HIT HIS HEAD. HIS HEAD WAS WOUNDED AND STARTED BLEEDING. AMAZED, THEY DUG FARTHER AND FOUND THE MEDITATING YOGA. HE SIMPLY GOT UP AND WALKED AWAY.

                                                  ☺

                    NOW, THIS YOGA WAS "HIBERNATING" UNDERGROUND IN AN ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN ORDER TO EXTEND HIS LIFE. HE KNEW HIS PHYSICAL BODY HAD COME TO ITS END. AT THE SAME TIME, CERTAIN KARMIC BONDAGES REMAINED. HE DID NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THE PHYSICAL BODY AND RETURN ONCE MORE IN ANOTHER LIFETIME TO WORK OUT HIS KARMA . SO HE DECIDED TO EXTEND HIS LIFE FOR A WHILE SO HE COULD FINISH HIS ALLOTTED KARMA ONCE AND FOR ALL.
