Portals in any Direction

Portals in any Direction

The idea that there is only one way to see into higher dimensions, especially to see into the chit akash sky of consciousness, is not a valid statement. Some kriya yoga sects give the third eye as the location where one may access the chit akash and any other wonderful realms or dimensions. In the Bhagavad Gita, the center of the eyebrows is mentioned.

स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्

चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः ।

प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा

नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥५.२७॥

sparśānkṛtvā bahirbāhyāṁś

cakṣuścaivāntare bhruvoḥ

prāṇāpānau samau kṛtvā

nāsābhyantaracāriṇau (5.27)

sparśān — sensual contact; kṛtvā — having done; bahir = bahiḥ — external; bāhyāṁś = bāhyān — excluded; cakṣuścaivāntare = cakṣuḥ — visual focus + ca — and + (eva) — indeed + antare — in between; bhruvoḥ — of the two eyebrows; prāṇāpānau — both inhalation and exhalation; samau — in balance; kṛtvā — having made; nāsābhyantaracāriṇau = nāsa — nose + abhyantara — within + cāriṇau — moving

Excluding the external sensual contacts, and fixing the visual focus between the eyebrows, putting the inhalation and exhalation in balance, moving through the nose. (Bhagavad Gita 5.27)

However, Krishna made no statement stating that this was the only portal. I suggest keeping in mind that this is the conventional recommendation to be used during meditative focus. One should be aware of the fact that many other locations may give access to the chit akash.

For that matter, during meditation at any moment, there may be a spontaneous involuntary access which is not the third eye. The intellect can give access. The special location itself can bore through from the spiritual side to this side into the mind space of the yogi.

When this happens usually the chit akash is seen as a blinding light, not like sunlight but like intense moon light with or without a cooling bliss aspect. It can last for a single second or more.
