Mind Real

The meditation should not have imaginative actions and visualizations. These forced mental operations should cease overall but especially during meditation. The habit of visualizing or imagining events and projections of desires, should be reduced considerably by those who wish to be proficient in the yoga practice suggested by Patanjali, which he described in the Yoga Sutras.

One difficulty for students is the bland blankness of the mind, where there are no visualization acts or events in the mind, and where the mind itself does not produce thoughts, ideas or images willy nilly as per its spontaneous interest. However, the student should be patient enough to stay in the mind in blankness. This can be enhanced by doing breath infusion before meditation, where the psyche would be infused with breath energy which will shift it to a higher plane and move it out of the lower-level blankness which is drab and boring which does not nourish the meditator.

After doing an aggressive session of breath infusion as kapalabhati/bhastrika pranayama process, and filling the subtle body with subtle energy through the physical breathing which has subtle influence, the yogi should check the condition of the mind space, of the contents of the psyche. In the least there should be an observer in a space of energy which comprise the psyche. There may or may not be other factors but the least should be an observer.

If there is no observer, nothing from which to have a subject, there will only be the space which comprise the psyche. Staying in that space, as that space or as nothing in that space, there may arise the naad sound resonance. If that arises, that heralds that there is an observer even though it is not pronounced and is aware of its subjective energy.

This focus on naad should cause two factors to arise.

• the naad sound in a specific location or zone
• an observer which is aware of the naad resonance

More focus on naad should cause a conclusion about naad’s location, that it is here or there or saturated in the psyche. Then there should arise a definite sense of an observing self. This self should realize its position in reference to naad where naad is up or down, in or out, to the left or right, surrounding or spatial.

The observing self uses its attention interest to focus on naad. It should hold naad with its interest. It should realize that there is or is not other factors in the psyche. Holding this interest in naad, the observing self should relax the hold but should not release naad fully. Once this relaxed posture is assumed, the observing self should slowly turn about while hold naad. It should discover any other factor in the psyche. Is there anything besides naad resonance, an observing self and the space which is the psyche?

These mystic actions may lead to the discovery of a glow of light or a glow light in which there are speckles or fuzzy dots of multicolor. These dim subdued lights are steady and do not fade or flicker. One should focus on these while keeping the focus on naad resonance. This is a dual focus; one of a sound and the other of a light which exists and which is not imagined or visualized.

In one meditation while doing this focus, a man rode a rusty bike on an asphalt road which passed through a desert region. That was a vision in the psyche of an activity which occurred thousands of miles away from my physical location, with the rider not being aware that he was seen by me.

A yogi should practice with these mindReal experiences, holding the attention to naad, simultaneously holding the attention to mental light and observing any events which the mind accesses of anything anywhere.
