Chit Akash Flashes

Many students are still mystified about the chit akash. Sometimes I get inquiries about it, as to what it is, as to how it is manifested, as to how to reach or enter it.

Yes, questions, questions, questions.

The best way to learn about the chit akash is to practice breath infusion and meditation. Then overtime it will happen that you can recognize what it is. It is very unusual. It is not your usual perception from within the head of the subtle body. It is not a vision with the subtle eyes of the subtle body. It is sometimes a vision using the third eye, but the seeing instrument which is really involved in perceiving chit akash, is the buddhi analytical orb.

What I wrote above, perhaps, does not help anyone to know what the chit akash really is. Suppose I say like some of my friends, that it is the spiritual world, or that it is the energy of the spiritual world or that it is the brahman effulgence. Then what?

Even then you are still left in the dark and believe it or not many who describe chit akash know nothing about it and never positively identified it in their meditation experiences.

In meditation, if you are lucky you will have some experiences which are of chit akash but unless you are a divine being beforehand, you will not be able to identify that it is the chit akash. The reason for this is that in the mind, there is a reference system which will not be able to catalog and properly fingerprint the experience. The kundalini itself is baffled by such experiences. It will not be able to put a finger on the experience as being this or that, because the experience will be out of the range of the kundalini’s identification system which is the main recognition device which we use in the present psyche.

Suppose a man is born blind. Then he wants to know the color of the sun. What should he be told? This man might feel that he has every right to know the color of the sun. Perhaps we can prove that merely because he was born, he must have that right. However reality itself dictates otherwise because what will you tell him about its color. What reference of color can you use to give him some idea about it?

Thus when students ask about the chit akash, and especially when they inquire with eagerness, we are put into a very awkward position, because they may not have reference experience to go by. In terms of where we are right now in this material existence, we have no reference experience to the chit akash. This makes it ludicrous when I am speaking to some people who like to talk about the spiritual world. Some of them berate the chit akash as being an inferior accomplishment to the spiritual world. When asked about their experience of the spiritual world, they are at a loss for a description. They clamp up.

Suppose I tell you that I am going to the moon. Then you show me a helicopter which can rise in the air and ascend to the roof of the tallest mountain on the earth. But then I laugh and ridicule you saying that the machine is nothing compared to the one which goes to the moon. Then you ask me about that machine and I cannot show it to you. I sit on a dilapidated horse-cart but still I enjoy ridiculing your helicopter. What is that? That is good comedy!

Here are some definite indications that you are either experiencing chit akash, or you are on the verge of gaining such experiences, or you are being encouraged to meditate more and to be more serious about reforming your lifestyle to facilitate meditation. It helps considerably if you do breath-infusion practice. I cannot overstress this.

In meditation suddenly without warning you experience a light shining down to your right or left which is circular in shape and which is like spot light shining in the dark but which has a light of the texture of moon light shining on the ground. This light is completely independent of your desire and you cannot control it. It shines for as long as it desires which is usually for seconds but it is so definite that even though it is momentary you notice and remember that it was independent.

In meditation suddenly without warning, you experience a cloud up ahead usually in the center of the head up front in the forehead. This will be a could which is filled with light like when a cloud is filled with moonlight at night and when such a cloud has part of it which is grey color. It is opaque where you cannot see through it but you might see a clear sky to one side or all around it, while the rest of the space ahead of you will be dark grey or pitch black with no ability to see through that area either.

This will happen all on its own without your control of it. It will last for as long as it last, for seconds maybe. Then it will not be there and you will find yourself back into the usually speckled darkness or pitch black darkness in the subtle head.

The light on the other side of that partial grey cloud which is lit as if it was light produced from a type of moon light is the light of the chit akash.

These are not the only means of experience of chit akash but these are two definite means which I was inspired to describe in this essay.
