Supernatural vision by a definite method

I had luck again with the use of supernatural vision just after breath infusion session.

 

In this session, it was a vision of people in Indonesia. It had the feel of that place. It was a school yard where some students who wore uniforms were passing back and forth.

 

This occurred in the head of the subtle body. One feels as if the place is located within one’s head and that everything there is within one’s head and one exists there invisible as an eye orb within the subtle head.

 

Again as in a recent experience the level of the eye was about that of the sight of a dog which has eyes that might be about 18 inches from the ground.

 

This is a buddhi intellect orb vision. It occurs in the head of the subtle body. At first one has to do breath infusion. Then one should sit to meditate immediately after, so that the effects of the infusion are still prominent in the psyche.

 

Then one sits to meditate and immediately latches on to the naad sound in the back of the head or if one cannot hear naad, one should just go to the back of the head. One remains in naad for a time, and then there is a development where one begins to see things, really.

 

If it happens that one does not see thing, if it happens that the mind resumes its ordinary concerns and misbehave with images and sounds, then one should resume the naad meditation with a removal of focus on everything except naad.

 

To encourage the development of the supernatural vision, once you are in naad, you have to gather the energy which exudes from the psyche in the direction of the front of the head. This is not the usual pratyahar practice for introspection and sensual energy withdrawal. In this practice there are no rays of energy going out of the psyche, so one is not required to retrieve that energy. In this case there is an energy exuding from the sense of identity which surrounds the core-self. But this energy does not go out of the psyche, it remains in the psyche.

 

 

 

One takes this energy and pulls it back so that it is folds in on the core self. This practice is a new development and is actually a secret kriya. Srila Yogeshwarananda recently turned me on to this kriya and then he left, thinking that I would practice it daily and get my act together.

Neo_Yogi's query:

Is it easy to distinguish between the images coming from this 'misbehaving mind' and the images resulting from the attention to naad sound?

How does one feel this energy exudation? By 'energy' you mean a special feeling or sense of the self?

Neo_Yogi's query:

MiBeloved's Response:

 

It is easy to do this because it happens only after a pause of silence in the mind, silence in the frontal area of the brain where usually there are images, sounds etc, which pertain to physical life and its related mental and emotional participation.

 

The student must first be sincere with naad focus and should have done the breath infusion beforehand. If there is no breath infusion, then this may not happen except on rare occasions by chance.

 

Breath infusion is essential because it causes the subtle body to jump to a higher frequency where the usual riff-raff activity of the mind does not occur. If the person returns to the usual level then the riff-raff will occur again, because that is natural at that level.

 

It is like I live in a run-down part of town where the law and order does not prevail. All sorts of criminal activity take place there as a matter of course. But then somehow by taking a certain bus I go to an upscale part of town, where everything is orderly and where law enforcement effectively functions.

 

If I stay in the run down part of town and try to make my situation orderly, I may do that but only to a limited extent. I need to move out of the area. The breath infusion is what acts as the conveyor or special transit to take me to the upscale area.

 

With the breath infusion done, then the student will find that if he or she meditates immediately after while the influence of the infusion still prevails, there will be an observation that the mind is not the same as it was before, that it is in a different level of existence, a level where the riff raff is not there.

 

If we drive out into the desert where there is no human civilization, then we will not hear human noises, human construction and other activities. Those features are just not there.

 

Let us clarify this: The riff raff is not there and this is not because you are sitting there visualizing an empty mind or sitting there following your breath or sitting there repeating a mantra mentally or aurally or sitting there listening to a guided meditation tape. The reason it is not there is that the breath infusion has pushed your mind to another level. Evidence of this is that after about 15 or 20 minutes or sometime less, you will find that the mind has resumed its normal riff raff behavior.

 

This breath infusion is important. The infusion itself, not your will power, not your power of observation, not your mental or emotional detachment, is what causes the mind to move to the level where it just cannot be involved with the riff raff energy. And furthermore that energy still exists somewhere else on a lower mental plane. It is just that you are not in contact with it. But the mind will resume the contact as soon as the breath infusion effects have worn off.

 

-----------------

 

Let us go back to your question:

 

Is it easy to distinguish between the images coming from this 'misbehaving mind' and the images resulting from the attention to naad sound?

 

MiBeloved's Response:

Yes, it is easy to distinguish because if you know how your mind usually operates, then if it behaves in a different way, you ought to know it. So the lady has a kid. He usually fidgets when she takes him to the dentist. The little chap likes to tear up the magazines in the waiting room. His mother is always terribly embarrassed. She cannot punish him physically because that is against the law. Her verbal reprimands are useless because the little shit ignores her.

 

But one day when she got to the office when he had a bad tooth ache, the little chap just sat next to her silently.

 

So then I ask the question of how I would determine if his behavior is different. Well the answer lies in knowing what his usual behavior was in the first place. There is a difference. If you notice that there is no difference, then you have answered your question. It has to be a marked difference.

MiBeloved's Response:

This is a good inquiry. One has to master the differentiation between the self and the adjuncts which it uses in the head of the subtle body. The chapter one of the Meditation Pictorial book should be mastered beforehand.

 

Initially one cannot understand this instruction because we are endowed with a lack of psychic perception. One cannot differentiate between the adjuncts and the core-self. Initially there is only a self and nothing else. Initially the mind is the self. This is totally wrong but it is how we outfitted with spiritual ignorance initially are.

 

Therefore the student has to work his way into the required psychic clarity, so that he knows what is the self, as a core-unit “I am” consciousness which is surrounded by other psychic energy which is difficult for the same self to distinguish from itself.

Neo_Yogi's query:

Can a novice like me do breath infusion only with kapala bhati? If so, how should I execute it? Currently I'm only doing a couple of cycles of kapalabhati before meditation in a sitting posture. Actually I don't know how many rounds I should do or how long a single session should last...

Make contact with Alfredo who is experienced with pranayama practice and with meditation.

 

He may assist you.

 

And also use a cheap camera and take a video of what you are doing and get that to us.

 

We can look at it and then provide recommendations.

Michael ji,

 

I started experimenting with NAAD Sound recently. When I was doing this headache started little. It was not actually headache it was like some change in focus level and I was feeling very uncomfortable since last 2-3 months. I thought that something is wrong in practice so I again moved my focus away from sound. I started to feel normal after that. That unusual feeling was not paranormal in my opinion and I was facing difficulties in doing normal daily tasks also. My focus of head was moved during that period and I could hear Snnnnn sound whenever required or tried.

 

Is that normal ?

 

I also lost the ability to get remote vision of far places, which was happening automatically after closing the eyes.

 

It looks like both the sound and vision working in different modes of mind. When we switch the mode of mind other mode starts to stop.

 

Is there any way to combine both the modes so Astral Vision and Astral Sound can be combined!

Neo_Yogi's Reply:

But I'm not doing anything complex yet; I just sit in Burmese posture (both feet touching the floor; I found that this posture is less painful for my knees and ankles) and do kapala bhati as you explained in this post when you said:

Do kapala bhati by forcefully exhaling and allow the inhale to just happen as a reflex which you do not control.

 

Neo_Yogi's Reply:

 

 

 

After 30-40 exhalations I stop to recover my natural breath and then I do it again, this time pushing down the fingers (still in sitting posture). I do this, let's say, 4-5 rounds with my palms on the knees and 4-5 times pushing down the fingers. I don't apply any bandha or lock yet.

 

How can I improve it to be benefited during the naad focus afterward?

 

Should I just add more rounds or perhaps I should start trying Alfredo's video executing just kapala bhati.

MiBeloved's Response:

 

If there is a switch in brain pattern, headaches become possible, even the migraine headaches. Any switch in some routine way the brain works could bring on headache, sleeplessness and in some people sleep.

 

It does not apply only to yoga or meditation methods. It applies to all features of our lives. Particularly in the elderly, in persons say beyond 50 years of age, it is highly likely that this will happen. Recently a young lady who is related to my body described her headaches which were occurring due to her super-performance at her work place. When she slowed down and did less the headaches went away.

 

What I am saying is that it has nothing to do with meditation or yoga but with a change in activity pattern. The brain once it is used to a certain method, will create mental tracks for that, so if you try to change that there will be some resistance which you will feel as a headache or a strain.

 

There is one thing that you are missing which is a thorough pranayama session before meditation. Remember that the process given by Patanjali Mahayogin has pranayama before pratyahar.
