SPIRITUAL ASCENT, GROWTH & BLOOMING Light on the Path

1. Keep body, brain and sense-organs still, without any movements, like a statue. Keep the spinestraight. This will prevent physical energy dissipation.

2. Keep impulses and emotions in abeyance, at rest. This will prevent psychic energy

dissipation.3. Keep the mind in the present moment experience. Pay attention to everything coming intoconsciousness without any deliberate act of naming, association, recalling or reacting. Stayaware and attentive by observing the breath movement. This will prevent sensory andmemory energy dissipation.

4. Keep the thinking, believing, judging and reflecting intellect silent. Rest it on the attentivemind watching the breath in the present. This will reduce the flow of thoughts thatcontaminates the light of awareness in the mind.

5. Keep consciousness free from dreams, fantasies, sleep and lethargy. If you feel sleepy, giveyour body some sleep. Then start from 1 again. Dont get lost in dreams and fantasies. Restconsciousness on the attentive mind watching the breath in the present. This will provide the

body and brain with more energy to move upwards.6. Using the accumulated energy at the different levels, invoke your inner Faith in the higher energy levels and focus all your energy and consciousness on the Third Eye. Faith in thehigher powers will enable you cross the psychic lower barrier imposed by avidya or ignorance. To activate the Third Eye Centre, rotate the eyes clockwise for some moments

before making some anticlockwise eye movements. Then press forcefully the space betweenthe eyebrows through some deep inhalations followed by breath retentions.

7. Once the Third Eye Centre is activated, mentally pull all lower physical and psychic energy toIt and feel the energy concentration There. Concentration at this Centre cuts our bondage tothe lower dimensions of ignorance and darkness and connects us to the higher dimension of knowledge and light. It opens the spiritual doorway to the higher energy levels by activating

the Faith Channel (Hanuman). This is why the activated Third Eye Centre is called the GuruCentre: It is the inner spiritual power that takes us to the true light through unswerving faith inTruth. Stay concentrated in stillness and silence for as long as possible. Keep the Centreactivated and keep watching passively the breath movement and any thoughts, images, lightsflowing in the space of consciousness anchored to the Centre.

8. From the Third Eye Centre dive deeper into the Shiva or Christ Centre at the lower back of the head. You may physically stroke or press the back of your head, where the medullaoblongata lies, and feel the Shiva Centre. You may also move your neck to the right, then tothe left, in a very gentle manner to feel this Inner Centre. There is also a special throatmovement that activates the Centre. This Inner Secret Centre is constantly drenched w thedivine light (abhisheka) coming from Higher Dimensions; It is called the Anointed Centre:Christ or Shiva. In most people, it is a dormant divine potential or seed, which needs thefertile soil of faith, the water of virtuous living and the air of spiritual yearning to germinateand grow into a fully bloomed divine tree moving upwards towards the Divine Sun of Existence. It is a reflection of a Higher Divine Light and is called the Soul Centre. The Soul isa Spark of Universal Light. It appears like the light of the moon: cool, white and soothing. Ineach individual, It manifests as the seed of reflected Light from which Life, Consciousnessand Energy emanates as three roots. This Centre has been symbolised as the trident (trishula)of Shiva or the three-forked Bilva leaf.

The central Power of Life is Uma Shakti or Sati, which flows through the lower, gross physical and psychic centres and animates them. From the two sides, flow the Power of Energy (Skanda Shakti) and the Power of Consciousness (Ganesha Shakti). The lower, grosscentres, rooted in ignorance, transformation and darkness, are different combinations of life,energy and consciousness and they make up the unique personality of the individual. The

Light of the Soul can hardly pierce the veil of darkness, ignorance and activity at each of thelower centres. It thus remains unknown to them. Only the mental sheath, owing to the light of awareness associated with the mind, can reflect Its Light to some extent. This is why spiritualascent starts by keeping the mind uncontaminated, silent and receptive.

9. The Third Eye Centre pulls pure mental awareness and energy to the Soul Centre through theFaith doorway. When this happens, a first level of bliss is enjoyed by the practitioner. Onefeels, the pure consciousness and energy flowing from the navel centre to the Soul Centre likea serpent crawling upwards. The titillating experience can be felt as a sexual orgasm. TheActivated Soul Centre then becomes an immortal centre that survives the death of the person;It is called Mritunjaya Shiva, the vanquisher of death, and the Resurrected Christ, whosemission is to move along the Path leading to the Divine Light, Life, Power and Truth.

10. From the Soul Centre, which is a reflection of the Source of Universal Life, Consciousness,Energy and Power, individual consciousness moves towards enlightenment gradually, like theslow march of the bull Nandi on the snowy mountain, creating a path to the Higher Dimension of Spiritual Discernment and Self-expansion. Like the white swan, separating milk (essence) from water (substance), individual consciousness flying upwards leaves the mixeddimension to the pure higher one. As it moves upwards, new dimensions open up as petals of an unfolding thousand-petalled lotus flower (sahasrara).As more and more petals open up, and as consciousness and energy flow from the Soul Centreto the Cosmic Channel, Brahmarandra, new and more intense levels of bliss are experienced.There is an overflowing into the cosmic dimension situated on the crown of the head.Through the overflowing of consciousness and energy, one feels oneself expanding into thefour directions of the universe. One can hear the cosmic vibration, the Aumkara, the music of creation resounding at the crown centre (Sarasvati). Reaching this level, one starts receivingdirect spiritual knowledge and revelations (Nrada) and feeling a sense of eternity (SanatKumar) in ones being, knowing, enjoying, and expansion.

11. As consciousness and energy keep expanding and unfolding, one crosses the Cosmic Channellevel to enter the supreme abode of the Source of Universal Life, Light, Consciousness andEnergy (Narayana, Paramashiva). It manifests like the sun, the source of light on earth and thelight that shines through the moon.Entering into the sunlike Self-effulgent dimension, one feels like an infinitely expandingspiritual energy (Ananta Sesha), like waves of a milky ocean of pure bliss (ksheerasagara) andlike soaring into the highest skies like a free eagle (Garuda). One is endowed with the highestlevel of bliss, beauty and opulence (Mahalakshmi). Being established in this Supreme Abode,ones consciousness and energy merge into the Boundless, Original, Uncreated, andImperishable Source of Everything. This is the culmination of the spiritual path. Merging and

becoming one with the Source, Substance and Substratum of everything and nothing.
