Seeing Energy in the Subtle Body

This morning near the completion of exercises and breathing, I had what I think are 2 inter-related experiences in the subtle body.
While seated, after a round of breathing and with locks applied, there was a golden, cool heat on the pelvic floor, in the approximate shape of a 2” x 4” x ¼” flat rectangle. The 2” sides were at the back and front of the body, with the shape sitting flat on the pelvic floor just as a ceramic tile lays flat on the floor of a house. As I observed the cool heat on the pelvic floor, I was also vaguely aware of a similar sensation in the center of the mind space.
After doing the next round of breathing and application of locks, an agitated mist filled the pelvic cage. It was ball-shaped, misty, like clouds swirling or like a pile of dust stirred up by wind. This misty sphere moved up through the sushumna channel and into the psyche. As it moved up the shushumna, because of the size, it filled sushmna and spread little outside of it too. When it entered the head space, I was no longer aware of it. But I felt a burning energy at the sides and back sides of the neck and lower head.
Previously, I would have said that I felt these things, but wouldn’t say that I actually saw them. However, the shapes and movement of energy were seen. I saw the ball-shaped misty energy and the heat on the pelvic floor was registered as an image in my mind, comparable to an image of a flat bar of gold.
The meditation which followed was not of strong focus.

MiBeloved’s Response:
Psychic perception needs to be developed and it needs to do so in its own way, even if that means vision without eyeballs. As soon as one frees oneself from the limited idea that perception has to be physical, one might develop various kinds of psychic perceptions.
One has to have an open mind in this regard and not be a doubting Thomas, being skeptic of everything which is not physical vision and feeling that it is all in the mind or that it is all imagination, as if physical vision is not in the mind and is not involved with imagination.
Who cares if it is with imagination so long as it has functional results!
Interestingly the mental function of imagination is done in the same location as the mental function of sense perception in the mind. The same mental faculty which imagines, also formulates parallel matching and very functional copies of the reality which is around us as this physical world.
Why cry about it? Why not learn to use it and mostly try to find out if it is capable of more reliable transcendental perception?

I am not clear as to what "parallel matching" and "functional copies of the reality" refers to. Please expand on this.

The imagination faculty in the mind is a magic psychic instrument which can create matching copies of the realities it encounters. A common example of this is the computer. To read this message, your system has to take a series of instructions to recreate this in a way which is a parallel representation of what I originally typed. You will never see what I originally type, so in that sense what you are seeing is a fake and still it is a valid useful and functional fake which can be beneficial to you and serve the purpose intended.
People will criticize the mind’s ability to copy and reproduce reality and then show it to the individual but no one rejects what is on the computer in the same way. We have this chip on our shoulders where we are willing to cut apart the mind, because we are afraid of being influenced by anyone but when we use a digital device which acts like the mind, we are silent and very humble about it.
This attitude of ours is steeped in ignorance and arrogance and a veiled way of denying the fact that the mind with its imaginative powers has proven to be quite useful and functional, what to speak of the fact that we cannot live without it.
The mind is a crystal ball type of magical device. The question is: How accurate is it? Disbelieving in it, not accepting any of its conclusions and constructions cannot happen in fact. Nobody can live like that. It is really a matter of calibrating it, of knowing the tolerance of it. When I used to work in avionics in the US Air Force, it was all about calibration of electronic instruments. Everybody knew that the instruments all had a degree of deviation. Nobody said, "Look let us throw out these gadgets because they are perpetually in error."
That was not it. We were sane about it. We were not fanatical to get rid of it. So we were thinking just like the people who made the devices at Hewlett Packard, “What is the percentage of deviation.”
We calibrated it and stamped each piece of equipment as being accurate to a certain degree.
Thus with the imaginative mind, that is what you have to do for psychic perception. There is also another type of perception which I call prana vision and maybe you are using that.
That is different to the imagination orb perception.
In prana vision you are seeing through energy just like that without any psychic visual tool. That can be accepted on this basis: Say for instance if I tell you to look at the heater. Then obviously you will use your eyes to do so. But the eyes are a specific physical apparatus which has proven to be reliable to such a degree that planes are flying in the air and not crashing into one another. However suppose I told you to see the heater with your skin. Then how is that to be done?
Then of course the perception is tactile. In the human form tactile perception is not as acute as say in the unicellular kingdom. But still you could put your skin against the heater and give me some idea of the temperate of it. So that tactile perception is also a form of perception. So prana vision is like that, you see through a membrane of energy.
Energy is not just random energy out there like some people thing. It has membranes. Many trillions of membranes exist between here and there. So in the psyche there are membranes. One can see through these just the same as a unicellular organism can see through its skin.
To use these perceptions one has to be open-minded to this information. One has to also practice meditation regularly and over time this will develop.
