Chit akasha penetration and the methods doing so are the most difficult part of kriya yoga process. Meditating on a void has nothing to do with it but many meditators settle for that because they can do no better and because the spiritual sky remains a closed book, an impossibility to them, something which is inconceivable.
People doubt that there can be such a thing as a spiritual world, even though Lord Krishna and others mentioned it. This is because of not having experience of any such thing. They say, and perhaps logically, that they cannot admit to anything they have not seen themselves.
Of course it is a weak proposal because they have never seen an atom and still they admit to it and write and lecture authoritatively about it. Machines have seen it on their behalf, formulas have proved it instead of their direct sensual evidence. Based on that they accepted it but they hack away at the statements of Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita and even propose that Krishna and everyone else which is mentioned in that text is symbolic at the most if we are to take it seriously in any way.
I was getting some hints recently about chit akash penetration, and the heck of it is that it has nothing to do with penetration.
Can you imagine that?
It has to do with simmering down, detaching oneself from all interest in the material world and in the subtle material energy, and just shifting focus away from that into whatever else is left, even if what is left seems to be nothing initially.
When one first moves from abject darkness into light there is that period of no seeing. You might think that entry into light means all light but the experience with the material body is that if you move from a pitch-black place into a place which is streaming with light, you will enter into a lull period where you cannot perceive anything. This is called shock of radical transit. It means that when you move from one vibration to another, if the new vibration is far from the old one, is distant from it, you will be subjected to a lull period, a time of no perception.
Then over time, there will be perception of the new environment. So like that if one can settle down when shifting off from the usual mundane perception and subtle mundane perception, then eventually the lull period of no perception, of abstraction, will change into actual perception.
There is a catch though, and it is purification of the subtle body, so that it has energy in it which supports higher perception. That is the value of doing pranayama practice. Otherwise who needs to do strenuous pranayama even?
If pranayama is a waste of time why did ancient yogis do it, why did Patanjali mention it as a method in its own right? What is the value of doing it? What will one miss out on if one does not do it?

Very interesting description.
I have to read up on the "chit akash penetration" to know what it is in more detail. But as I was reading this with no knowledge of its implications, I couldn't help it but realize that astral projection could be the result if the person falls to sleep during this meditation.

The person would then travel to the appropriate place, perspective, state of being or dimension that is available in the astral (or non-physical), but don't let the name astral turn you off here though. A new dimension always emerges into being when the perspective has been achieved, whatever that may or may not include and whatever we may like to call it, it’s just how it works in my view.
I might be using the word "perspective" a bit different than how you are using "perception" in this post. If you are referring to "perception" to be of the "supernatural" type then you probably don't mean the same thing, not entirely sure why. Even though categorically it makes sense (to divide certain areas of the spiritual and elsewhere), a lot of the supernatural experiences read like a certain type of astral vision, or certain type of astral vision reads like "supernatural". To me "perspective" also includes "perception" with certain psychological components attached to it, such as the part that allows you to maintain awareness during the meditation and the part that allows for the intent to do so. We might not be talking about the same thing.
The spiritual worlds are real. No storytelling, there actually there for sure.
