Chit Akash Secret

After working for over 40 years steadily day after day, to consistently make contact with the chit akash sky of consciousness, my conclusion now is that the process of reaching it, is very easy. All the same it is very difficult and hard to reach indeed.
Recently with some assistance rendered by one of the old fathers, Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, I reached chit akash by a method he showed which is so easy as to be humorous.
It has five parts to it:
1. breath infusion into the lower reaches of the subtle body
2. absorption in naad sound
3. blink perception contact of transcendental glow light in naad sound
4. the short or long wait
5. the lack of anxiety when chit akash light appears
The problem with this list is that it is not easy to attain. Even though it is listed here in clear terms and I can vouch that it worked for me, still that does not make it easy for anyone else. It may however give one some increased confidence if one practices Patanjali meditation.
The first item in the list is the most important. It is beyond raising kundalini on a daily basis. It has to do with taking away the authority of kundalini and allowing the core-self to regulate the psyche energy which is in the trunk of the subtle body.
The aspect of it which is really hard to get under control is the feature where we are trained in material nature to focus through the senses. To do this one has to use the route of the sensual energies through the buddhi intellect orb. This means an addiction to the orb or to the function of the orb which is thinking and visualization. This addiction like sexual addiction is hard to shake.
We have two psychic adjuncts working against us. One is in the head of the subtle body. One is in the trunk of it. The one in the head is called the buddhi intellect orb. This keeps the core-self spell bound, hypnotize as it is. In the trunk of the subtle body we have the kundalini psychic mechanism, it has tremendous power and can strike at any time, immobilizing or suspending the command power of the core-self.
Kundalini does have varied interest in the trunk of the subtle body but as nature would have it, its primary concern there is in sexual pleasure. Due to this, its ally which is the buddhi intellect orb, developed an interest in sexual intercourse, and by that, it is forced to descend into the basement of the subtle body for the purpose of getting the much-desired sex pleasure.
For its part, the kundalini life force stays close to the sexual function like a heavily armed security guard protecting a bank vault. Since it needs information for procuring energy to run the sexual pleasure complex operation, it must get information from the buddhi intellect orb and from the senses. To do this it has to send energy up into the head of the subtle body.
This sending of energy has caused the core-self to become dependent on the passage of psychic power through the spine of the subtle body, which in turn makes kundalini yoga a necessity.
===================
By the grace of several teachers who assisted me on the astral planes, I was able to complete the kundalini yoga practice; Of note in this respect is Yogi Harbhajan Singh who introduced me to the practice in this life. Others assisted with it but he was the first person to give the method of breath infusion, as kapala bhati or bhastrika pranayama to me.
Kundalini yoga as he taught it is not the complete package but it is about 75 % of the course, so much so that if one completes that to proficiency, one may get help either from him or from another yoga guru to go the rest of the way.
What is this rest of the way?
Could I divulge it?
Sure, I will tell you about it. In a gist, it is the infusion of energy into the trunk of the subtle body with expression of that energy into the thighs, legs and feet without respect to kundalini. It is infusion in such a way that the kundalini is no longer in charge of the psyche life force which runs the subtle body.
This is not a difficult thing to do once you gain proficiency in raising kundalini at least once per day. Eventually if you do that correctly, kundalini will from time to time jump into the brain abandoning its haunt at the muladhara base chakra. It will do this and then it will resume its lower hideout. Eventually if the student persists, kundalini will permanently abandon its lower residence and takes up a position in the lower back of the brain.
This is when the core--self will begin doing infusion without involving kundalini. This is when the student can really penetrate through the subtle body, attaining the first requirement of breath infusion into the lower reaches of the subtle body.
===================
Absorption in naad sound has to be done for weeks, months or years, until the core-self finds itself in a relationship which is comparable to an infant sucking the breast of its mother peacefully and with full satisfaction.
Once there is this stability in naad sound and the student finds that the core-self is automatically embedded in naad anytime he (she) sits to meditate, then there will come about from time to time, a glow light in naad. This will just happen out of the blues where when one is in naad, one hears naad and then sees this glow light. For me it was a white-gold color. This light is similar to the first throw of light in the early morning before dawn.
After remaining in that repeatedly in naad meditation, the student has to indulge in the short or long wait. This is the wait for the arrival of the chit akash sky of consciousness.
The chit akash light will first appear only momentarily, for seconds for the most, but when it does, the student will find that he or she enters a state of anxiety and tries to pursue and focus on that transcendental light. This is a mistake but it is an inevitable response which the student must bring under control in time. This anxiety causes the rapid disappearance of chit akash contact. When this is understood, the student deletes this tendency from his or her consciousness.

unlimitedsun’s Query:
Kindly expand on this state of anxiety as it relates to entering any developmental stage along the path, even at the preliminary stage.
What is it? Where does it come from? How is it best abated? What is the proper attitude to adopt towards it?

MiBeloved's Reply:
It take much time and practice to get rid of the tendencies which were serviceable to us in material existence but which when applied in spiritual practice, keeps us away from attaining the goal.
The fifth stage of yoga, that of pratyahar, is the effort to reverse the tendencies which we are graced with freely by material nature. These are basically the hunt-capture-eat sensual mechanisms.
If we step back objectively and look at ourselves, everything we do in the material world, at least 99.999999% of it, involves this hunt-capture-eat procedure. It is very obvious in the predatory animals but it is same in us with some sophistication and camouflage added to it.
Do you remember those girls you chased in youth after sexual maturity hit you and shifted your senses into a higher gear with more acceleration? Was that not hunt-capture-enjoy in action?
When one becomes involved in naad meditation, then if it is done properly with the senses withdrawn from their physical and baser subtle pursuits, for the time being, then after one settled down and decided that it is alright to exist for the duration of meditation without pursuing anything internally or external except for the naad sound, then there may arises some supernatural perception.
When this happen the old hunt-capture-eat syndrome begins all over again.
The requirement is that one should shut this down even when something transcendental, which is much desired, is within reach.
One good reason to get kicked out of heaven is to constantly make efforts to hunt-capture-eat the deity of the place. Due to the enormous sensual attraction one feels to the deity, one’s psyche, if it attempts to institute this hunt-capture-eat procedure, will find itself in another world, in a lower world, where that behavioral procedure is facilitated.

Thank's Michael for the sharing of this ultimately conclusive information.
Jai Shri Yogi Madhvacharya Yogipadaji!

Can you explain Dear Madhi, what is this experience of "enormous
sensuality for the deity of a place"? The hunt-capture-eat" syndrome? For a deity of what certain place, for example. Thanks

Naad is the gateway!
Only through naad!
It seems that way...

MiBeloved’s Commentary:
I had personal experience where I was with a deity in a divine place. Then due to an impulse to pursue the deity in some way, the deity got further and further away and then I found myself back in this world.
Suppose I am just 19 years of Age. Then I have a transcendental experience where I am transferred and find myself to be in a divine world using a divine body there, seeing divine people, divine vegetation in a divine real life environment. Then knowing me as well as you do what do you think, should happen next?
Do you think that I should do anything which will cause me to leave that experience and come back to repossess and be an earthly body?
What do you think is best for me?
Is it better that I act in a way in that divine place where I could stay there?
Or should I self-sabotage my transit there and return to this place?
Perhaps you will think, that it would be better that I came back to this place.
===================
In this world we are poverty stricken in terms of bliss energy, so anytime we see it here or if we see a mock-up of it, we chase after it. That is natural that if you do not have food, then if you see any sign of an edible something, you go after it with a vengeance.
Nature endowed us with the hunt-capture-eat tendency as our primal instinct. That is nature’s gift to us and a very necessary attribute indeed, because otherwise we could not survive in any life form for any length of time. Imagine what it would be like if every time you are to take birth, if every time you are to be a certain species, you are only allowed to be that for a split second, then you have to again make the effort and that happens repeatedly. Imagine if every live birth lasted only five minutes and then the body was eaten or absorbed by some other organism.
Just think about this. Actually there are some species that are subjected to this kind of lifestyle in material nature. It is not that far-fetched as it may sound.
Now that we are endowed with this hunt-capture-eat gift from nature, we are stuck with it. If we venture to any other place, we will carry this with us as an innate tendency unless we take steps to remove it beforehand.
If I am crazy about milk, then that is something but if you turn me lose in a place where I am served the rich cream of milk, then what will I do?
So if we are crazy about bliss in the material world, and then we find ourselves transited to a divine place, it follows that our craze will be exponentially greater. The result will be that we will be exited from that higher place, demoted not by anyone but by our very nature.
In many lesser developed countries people discipline their children very harshly by American standards say but if such people continue that after migrating to the developed country, they run the risk of being arrested, even being imprisoned, even having their kids taken away.
When one moves from one locale to another, one may encounter totally different stipulations and if one cannot adapt then one may have to return to the old place.
The deities are very attractive. One has to restrain oneself from using the hunt-capture-eat endowed ability on them, otherwise one will not be able to stay on in a heavenly place.
When King Mahabhish saw the goddess Ganga in the Brahmaloka celestial place, he was irresistibly attracted to her and subsequently he was expelled from that place. In that story, the goddess took pity on him and came down to the earth to be with him but even that was painful because she was very harsh in her dealings with him by saying that he could not censure anything she would do, including infanticide of their children.
But the king’s banishment from heaven had to do with his hunt-capture-eat instinct being applied not to the deity of the place, who was Brahma but to a visitor and a part-time resident of the place whom was the goddess Ganga. Even though it was not the deity of the place, still it carried unwanted consequences.
In that story also we notice that the other people there, the other male beings, some of whom were demigods had control over their hunt-capture-eat tendencies and did not allow those tendencies to surface.
From these stories of the Mahabharata there is so much that we can learn if we open ourselves and take these literatures seriously.

Thankyou, my Dear Madhvii.
