Breath Infusion: Today did a session of 30 minutes with 5-10 minutes doing the ankles posture, it takes some psychical energy, but one has to force himself to give a last push when it comes to charging the body with a final posture in order to raise the kundalini.

Actually this whole week was quite great since I was on holiday so I could do at least 2 sessions of Breath Infusion and another Pranayama Spinal Breathing. I am not sure, but didn't Mahavatar Babaji practice a similar ancient kriya such as this?

Meditation: Yesterday I started to get the Back to Head meditation going in my daily sessions, and at night before I go to sleep.

Today:

Right after Breath Infusion did 20 minutes of meditation on the back of the head.

At some point felt on the left side of the back of the head a rush of tingles which came by with a cold shivering, this lasted for about 5 seconds.

Book Reading: Reading currently the Astral Projection book, learning more on the nature of Astral Realities and the Subtle Body. Up to chapter 6 currently.

Dream Recall: Last night I had quite a long dream.

I was in my High School building, back in my school days, it was school reunion day. I was looking out/tracking for a girl whom I was attached to in reality.

I wanted to meet her.. the whole dream consisted from me searching her around the school building and inside.

While going from area and area I realized that some parts of the school are different constructed, I knew that it's not how it's used to be.

Many questions arised while I was searching for her. I realized that I have been searching for her for quite a while and she didn't show up and I was looking at the school gate and watching students getting in without stop so I thought to myself how could this be? why won't they stop coming? isn't it late enough already?

At some point I heard a student talking in loud voice having a familiar voice such as that girl, I thought that this was it, there she is, but in the end it was another girl.

In the school building I came to an area which I was quite strange, it was like a factory with very big super computers then I heard a woman's voice saying something along the lines that it's to educate students to provide the latest technology.

I went into class with some students that already sat in place hearing my main's teacher out. To each student she showed his matriculation certificate board (Not sure if this is how you call it)

then she was about to show mine but for some reason I had to pay money for it so I thought to myself, so this is what education has come to? no wonder it's under the drain.

Still in class, there was this big electronic board which has shown my name and some other names which I couldn't perceive with a high score number, a number which shows scores of how well that student had done in school.

While in the dream this was a school reunion day, a second one. I thought to myself how come there is a second one? there already was a first one. (in reality I had one)

Lastly I went out of school going home from my routine which I used to walk which also was constructed a bit differently.

There are some people in the dream which I haven't seen for a long time, they were never with me in school but they were there as students.

I woke up a couple of times into my physical body by default trying to maintain my attention on the back of the head, I returned to the same dream without fail.

After I woke up I realized that if one doesn't solve being attached to other people in the physical, one will have a similar fate when one moves on to the astral realities when one gets detached from this body.

Trying to keep searching and searching as a subtle body nonstop until getting a new body and starting all over again.

MiBeloved's Response:

Your conclusions in this respect are correct. Attachment to an individual could cause the attached person to transmigrate just to be with that individual and also to spend many lives doing just that.

There is a story of Pururavas who became attached to the goddess woman Urvashee. This was not an ordinary woman but a person who emerged from the body of God (Narayana). So under the circumstances it is understandable why Pururavas went crazy over her to such an extent that he spent thousands of years moving from one dimension to another tracking her and meeting her and that became the aim of his existence.

That story is told in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Once in the Uddhava Gita which is lifted out of that book, Uddhava asked Krishna about the location of Pururavas, as to whether the guy finally broke the sexual spell that the goddess woman had on him.

Many many siddhas knew what happened to Puru and they were scared shitless about it, because Krishna had many times in the past swore that he covers his devotees and does not allow them to get lost in these creations. So when they saw what happened to Puru, they were very concerned that something like that could happen to them.

After all no matter how powerful one is as a yogi, one is still not God, not Krishna, not Shiva not Buddha and therefore unless one gets help from either of these persons, one is toast when it comes to goddess women.

One should not get any hair-raising ideas about being able to resist women. You may resist one or two or so but that is it. There are some women whom you cannot resist no matter if you get yourself in spiritual order. Hence unless you remain under the shelter of the divine males, your situation is questionable, and you will be transmigrating forever chasing after this or that sexually-attractive female.

Bruce Lee was the greatest martial arts person of his time but he was killed merely by a gunshot. Recently two Navy seals were killed after an explosion and fire at the US embassy in Libya. So there are limits to one’s personal power even if one is trained to max.

There are two things to review:

            Can you get rid of the attachment to this person?

            If you cannot get rid of the attachment, then can you regulate it so that it does not cause you to go on a haphazard transmigration just to meet this person?

Practice Session - 21/09/2012

Breath Infusion & Meditation: Did 30 minutes of Breath Infusion followed by 30 minutes of Back to Head Meditation, Less resistance than yesterday.

Later on a session of Spinal Breathing followed by meditation.

Book Read: Finished Reading the Astral Projection book, about to start reading Sex You! to enrich my knowledge in this whole area more.

Question about Astral Projection: When one gets detached completely from the physical body he might have remembrance of that previous life he had. How about the bodies many many lifes back? Will that information simply come back to him? Does he have to make a certain effort to perceive that information?

Dream Recall: neutral society situations

MiBeloved's Response:

Information about many many lives back comes in deep meditation but sometimes in the usual morning meditation session, one may have a flash back to one specific past life from even thousands of years before.

Some insight into this is given in the life of Gautama Buddhi in the Pali canon reports about what he experienced during meditation. At a certain stage he experiences his past lives, all of them in a compressed memory form, including those in many lower species of life.

To get to that level in meditation one has to transfer completely to the causal plane, then stay there for a time, and then cross back over to the subtle world, as one crosses over, one can see the sum total subtle memories which one had in the present duration of the universe.

Usually this happens in a flash or it is experienced as a cross point like crossing just one lazer beam but Buddha was able to linger there and read the record of all of his lives to that point in that birth.

If you read Patanjali, there are verses which give an idea of how you could proceed to get that experience. Here it is:

परिणामत्रयसंयमादतीतानागतज्ञानम्॥१६॥

pariṇāmatraya saṁyamāt atīta anāgatajñānam

pariṇāma – transformation change; traya – threefold; saṁyamāt – from the complete restraint of the mento-emotional energy; atīta – past; anāgata – future; jñānam – information.

From the complete restrain of the mento-emotional energy in terms of the three-fold transformations within it, the yogi gets information about the past and future. (Yoga Sutra 3.16)

संस्कारसाक्षात्करणात्पूर्वजातिज्ञानम्॥१८॥

saṁskāra sākṣātkaraṇāt pūrvajātijñānam

saṁskāra – the subtle impressions stored in memory; sākṣātkaraṇāt – from causing to be visibly present, direct intuitive perception; pūrva – before, previous; jāti – status, life; jñānam – knowledge.

From direct intuitive perception of the subtle impressions stored in the memory, the yogi gains knowledge of previous lives. (Yoga Sutra 3.18)

Breath Infusion & Meditation: 30 minutes of Breath Infusion followed by back to head meditation for 30 minutes.

Breath Infusion went very good and strong, no breath or body resistance.

Meditation didn't go so well unlike previous days. Had a hard time putting attention on the back of the head, and chattery mind wouldn't stop.

Book Reading: Finished reading Sex You!

This week and the next week I have holiday again, enough time to practice and read. I shall get my hands on Meditation Pictorial, and do a second session of Breath Infusion.

Goals/Objectives: Adding more postures, Increase the default time of Breath Infusion to at least 45 minutes permanently. As for a second session 20-30 minutes will do.

MiBeloved's Response:

There are essentially two ways to get to the back. One way is the default automatic method which means that you will retreat but with the core-self facing the front as it was before.

The psyche is designed in such a way that the core-self is oriented towards the buddhi intellect orb and the sensual orbs in the subtle body. This means that the core-self is strapped in looking forward.

Think of the driver of a car with seat belts on. The entire orientation is towards the windshield.

So going to the back of the head is like if the driver’s seat was propelled backwards into the back seat but the driver is still facing forward and still is not looking through the back window.

Besides the default configuration, the driver can do two things. He can sit in the default driver’s seat in the front of cabin and turn his head so that he can see what is going on in the back seat. Or he can unbuckle the harness and then turn completely around and jump over into the back seat with his face towards the back window.

To really get a grip on this back of the head meditation, you should work on jumping into the back seat while looking out the back window or turning your head around and looking out of the back window.

The effect of this is that you will find that the core-self is no longer compelled to remain in the default configuration. Some idea of this is given in the Meditation Pictorial book on page 166.
