Supernatural vision Report.
So far I have had some luck with the gathering of the energy procedure given by Srila Yogeshwarananda. As in every type of adventure, success comes by particular skills in the craft. If there is no development of skill then success will elude the performer.
One becomes proficient in a process by repeated application and practice. This is how it is on this level of existence. If one does not apply oneself, there will be no proficiency gained.
All the same if one applies with the wrong method no proficiency will be gained either. Every aspect of learning has to be in place in the proper way for proficiency. The way to pretend and to make fool of the others is to flash a process which the mind can imagine easily but which in the practical sense is useless.
Unfortunately many of us live with imagined successes. That is sufficient for us. That satisfies us. Subsequently many teachers emerge who exploit this habit of imagined success.
I am leaving behind a record of yoga austerities with as much details as I can describe. Some of what I do is so vague, so abstract, as to be like doing no practice. As one gets out on the edge of nowhere, out there in the wide blue yonder of supernatural and super-subtle energy, understanding what one is in, gets harder and harder to put into a descriptive form. Nevertheless I found over the years, that if I persisted in the practice, what was super-subtle yesterday became a substantive almost gross reality in the near future.
So far in the bid to reach the chit akash, sky of consciousness, on a consistent basis, daily, I have found that it is best to do the following:
· Thorough breath infusion of the subtle body, particularly of the trunk of the subtle body and then when this is completed, infuse breath energy into the head of the subtle body.
· As soon as the infusion session is done, one should immediately without any gap in time, assume a sitting posture and do the meditation practice, which begins with two features. The first is to immediately locate and adhere to the naad sound at the back of the head. If you do not hear that sound, then in the silence or vibration, adhere to the back of the head.
· The second is to sense the effects of the breath infusion, to see if any subtle energy is moving about or radiating in a particular place of the subtle body.
· After this one should look forward within the head of the subtle body to notice if there is imaging and sound which the core self feels that it has to be entertained by.
· The next step which I am gaining proficiency in at present, is to gather any random energy which is in the frontal part of the subtle head.
· In some instances this energy seems to be falling down as if it is being pulled by the gravity of the earth but it will only fall down say to about the chest area.
· Regardless one should gather this energy and pull it back closer to the core-self.
------------
From the indications and experiences so far, I can vouch for the fact that the random energy gather instruction of Srila Yogesh is proving to be effective in causing the emergence of supernatural vision. This morning there was perception at the third eye but it was as if some persons were going about their routines in another dimension. They used forms which seem to be like when you look at a photographic negative, where the forms are outlined and the colors are of brown, grey and black shade but transparent.
About 15 minutes into the meditation, the third eye opened in a circular shape. I then saw moving scenes as if the third eye was sweeping across a landscape. I saw several banana trees with their leaves fluttering in the wind. This was a banana plantation. I then noticed that the clarity to see the banana trees changed back to be like forms having a dark color and being semi-transparent. The light in the chit akash no longer manifested in a way where there was clarity in what was there.
This lack of clarity continued for some time with the open third eye sweeping through environments.
====================
The value of this practice is that one can do something to accelerate the ability to use the third eye and other psychic instruments which gives one access to the chit akash, sky of consciousness. Instead of waiting and waiting in meditation for something to happen, or even instead of sitting and imaging this and that, and thus being dishonest with oneself, one may cultivate the random energy, pull it back near the core self. This action will cause the manifestation of supernatural sight.
I will keep reporting on this as I proceed. I hope to develop it into a set kriya method which can be used by anyone, who does the breath infusion and is ready to work on the head of the subtle body. The guidance for this was provided so far by more than one yogi but most of it was from Srila Yogeshwarananda.
I feel that there are sparse written instructions on this, because of the subtlety of it and the nature of abstraction where describing that depends on the objectivity of the yogi and also on his intention to explain it afterwards.
If one goes into meditative states without a motive to share the techniques practiced and discovered, then it is natural that one will not be in a position to leave a written record of it. It is a common experience that after one passes through a certain stage in yoga practice, one does not recall the particulars about it.
A child learning how to read will hardly remember the process endured as a student, and will hardly be able to teach that to someone else, even though the student may read proficiently.
Many persons were successful in their austerities and cannot explain in clear terms how they gained the proficiency.
Special Note:
The banana plants seen were physical plants somewhere in this dimension. The third eye has the ability to see something that is thousands of miles away physically or even something which is near. All the same there are other types of visions into other dimensions which could be revealed by the third eye.
