Yogi Severs the Umbilical Cord Finally

Breath infusion this morning was great. Actually those who are not doing pranayama before mediation are missing out on much. But what to do if they cannot be convinced to take it up?
When I finally rose this morning it was about one hour later than I should have. In any case, I was doing practice in the astral world just before that. When I tried to remember what I was doing, it was like I was practicing in a far away galaxy and lost the memory on my way back here.
All I could remember was that I had made a major breakthrough because of the influence of Tibeti Yogi and Srila Yogeshwarananda. Where I was, it was with Tibeti Yogi in some faraway place, where when one gets there, one forgets one’s existence on earth.
I tried to stretch back to that place but it was too far, totally out of reach. The memory of the kriyas, I was doing, was gone, like when you are on a ship and you drop your diamond ring overboard. You realize that there is no hope for finding it ever. It is there somewhere in the deep but you cannot claim it ever. You can cry to the captain of the ship, you can do whatever you desire but it is gone forever. So I could not remember what happened.
The information was stored in another subtle body or in another level of the subtle body in a memory apparatus on that psychic plane and now I was cut off from it. It was on another server somewhere and I could not reach it. I knew it was something vital, something having to do with the gut transformation.
So when I rose, this thing was haunting me because if I cannot remember that kriya then I will not be able to report about it. You guys will miss out on it, at least those of you who might need this kriya in the future even when this body is moth-balled and I am gone. These writings will bear the methods of it, if it was recorded.
When I got outside to do the breath infusion practice with various postures, then I got this telepathic message from Tibeti saying that the memory of it would come back while doing the session and it did.
As I was doing it there was that last bit of disappointment about losing the memory and then that energy left my psyche. Then I began doing the kriya by intuition. Tibeti send a message saying that the name of the kriya is either destruction-of-the-food-brain or severance-of-the-umbilical-cord. Apparently in China, the Taoist gurus called it severance-of-the-umbilical-cord, while some Hatha Yoga gurus from the Natha sampradaya considered it to be destruction-of-the-food-brain.
In terms of the umbilical cord, tradition has it that it was severed by the midwife or physician when the blood from the mother’s system stopped flowing into the new body of the embryo. But that is the materialistic tradition. The Taoist gurus are of the views that the cord is still connected not to that specific mother but to the mothering energy of the earth goddess, Quan Ying. Everybody is sucking energy from Quan Ying but at some point in the future, each person has to consider stopping this parasitic behavior.
Therefore the Taoist yogis reach a stage where they cut their umbilical cord from within the psyche and then they either starve to death or they become liberated in another body, a divine form, where they are born or where they appear in a divine world which is different to this earth goddess domain.
Yogis like Milarepa did austerities and then ripped the cord away from the goddess in a brutal way. Buddha also did the same thing during his gruesome starvation austerities. It can be done in less violent ways or one can also just keep practicing and after many births, trillions of practice, the cord eventually falls away from the goddess and one develops the divine body. It all depends on the student (sadhaka).
You are not God and you have to exist in someone else’s environment. Therefore it is a matter of getting permission to transfer from here to someone else’s place. You are not original, so you always have to take energy from somebody, some deity. This is the raw truth. But if this does not jive with you, then you can imagine yourself as God, as the absolute, and you can isolate yourself with the idea that you are the ultimate creator etc. No problem. Go ahead.
Now the destruction-of-the-food-brain system is done in hatha yoga practice. This is hatha yoga not yoga postures which are just asanas which are an elementary part of hatha yoga. Hatha yoga is really ashtanga yoga. So in that system what happens is that the yogi is doing it in the way of the Indian tradition which is to head for a yoga siddha body. In this system the subtle body is pressured on and on, using pranayama practice and then it is transmuted or changed in its internal configuration.
Like for instance Swami Nityananda Baba, Muktananda’s guru, used a bubble body which is the same subtle body we are using but completely gutted out, changed to an unrecognizable form. It has a bloated head and bloated balloon like trunk and nothing else, no feet, no hands. So that is a special stage of development which is even beyond a yoga siddha body. It concerns when you are a master of brahma yoga.
In any case for the destruction of the food brain there are two methods. One is the one which Swami Rama advocated and swore by which is mastery of agnisara kriya practice. This is the one I do not recommend except if you were born with a body from a yogi family from India, a family which is carrying special physical genes which designed the body to have a special type of yogi gut.
The other is the way for modern students which is to do the breath infusion so much and for so long, then eventually it tunnels through the gut area and eliminates the resistance in the front navel chakras.
This front navel chakra is not the navel chakra on the spine. Let’s be clear about this. This is not about imagining that energy goes up and down the chakras on the spine. It is not a visualization practice. This is actually infusing breath into the body and forcing it down from the lungs into the navel area and then when it builds up there, you force it further through the pelvic area.
============================
After years of practice, finally the break through occurred in the subtle body. The physical body is still the same with the same configuration it had genetically when it was taken from the current ancestral line.
See the diagrams below. The main thing is to thrust the air through pass the navel and then let it attack the muladhara chakra directly. But if you do this and you have not actually cleared out the navel region, you will not get the full effect of the practice.
The honest way is to work on the navel for years if necessary until it is all washed out, all removed because of the constant thrusting of the breath energy which passed through that area and goes down to the groin and then loops around to the kundalini base chakra and up the spine into the head.

Alfredo's Query:
Michael, how would this tie up with 2nd Kriya Pranayama, Lahiri Baba tradition, which is a Chakra pranayama with mantra and bija on each chakra and Kumbhaka with light visualization in different parts of the brain? This is the one I practice and the one some of Lahiri's disciples extended to up to 1728 cycles in 10 hours. I usually do 144 cycles in one hour and 15 minutes (12 x 12 = 144; 144 x 12 = 1728).

Seems like you should explain to us how this ties up especially since you are sincerely practicing it.
Alfredo 5 years ago
The only way it ties up for me is in the phrase..."so much and for so long". I believe this is a limited tie, that's why I asked you, my question begets 3 answers from you:
1) Are you familiar with this pranayama I described?
2) Would this pranayama do what you recommend as "the destruction-of-the-food-brain system", or because of the mantra etc, may complicate and hinder the pranayama?
3) Would any pranayama done "so much and for so long" be sufficient?

Check at the page below for two files

to see if your practice is given even in veiled terms:
It is not so much the pranayama method used by the actual contact of the infused breath energy with the will power attentive energy of the yogi. There has to be such a tight contact between the two that the yogi is manhandling the infused energy and directing it.
Mantras are okay but they are not effective if the will power is not able to manhandle to get the achievements.
For instance in a modern car, mantra is used from a little device in the hand of the driver, where he or she can even start the car from a distance. But if the mantra making device is lost, then the driver is helpless because then he or she still has will power but it is cannot make contact with the button on the device.
So the hinge pin is this contact of your attention in such a way as to actually operate whatever.
Suppose I have the car and it is 100 feet away. Suppose I want to start it but the mantra device just dropped in the vent of the drain storm on the street. I can see it 20 feet down on the floor of the storm sewer. Then what? My will power has no effect. So the mantra is there but it is useless if other factors are not there.
There are other mess-ups with this system. One of these is the bija mantras. Unfortunately those bija mantras are from psyches of ancient yogis who had already purified their chakras by the austerities (tapa, tapasya). Now in my body, those bija mantras are a mismatch. Nothing wrong with the mantra but there is something surely wrong with the type of influence my subtle body contacted when it entered the mother of it and was formed from the seed energy of the father of it. Those persons had chakras which emitted different bija mantra sounds.
So now my use of such mantras is not productive because my system does not recognize those pure vibrations, regrettably.
Shit, I took the wrong body, from the wrong parents.
What to do about that?
Should I kill the body and be reborn in a pure brahmin family of yogi devotees like Krishna suggested in chapter 6 of Bhagavad Gita?
Maybe I should just forget this Indian yoga system and hang with Tolle and other New Age gurus. Their system is more in the way of my Western psyche.

Michael!
Thank you very much!
BTW, I also downloaded your India file, as a Hindu myself, I really appreciate your input and effort!
You offered me whether I wanted to write here...I would like to write about the entanglements of Sri Aurobindo, Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, and the partition of India, and the role of Sir Sttaford Cripps, let me know if that would be a welcome topic and how to do it.
I am enthralled by what you offer, your books, and your teachings, so please forgive me if I tend to take time from your busy schedule, I will control it, don't worry, but then know that you should never expect any spite or dishonesty from me.

No, no way Jose.
MiBeloved 5 years ago
That Tolle bit was a joke.
Have nothing against the guy personally but they have really worked at making a system which matches the Western psyche.
Give them a hand!
============================
About the history and the parts played by Sir Stafford Cripps, it is your column in this paper.
Write whatever you will.

I am not accustomed to your sense of humor yet, you see, mine can be subtle, but yours is not only subtle, but it can also be "dark" (hard to see).

Sorry I did not get this...you mean here in the forum, or is there any other place? Please advice.
MiBeloved 5 years ago
Here in the forum but also you could upload pictures with text, also you could upload videos.
Suggest new categories if you feel the need.
One great thing which we need are descriptions of daily meditation practice.
That is a priceless contribution to student yogis, to give some idea of what others are experiencing during progression and to give hints on exactly what can be achieved through the disciplines.
Alfredo 5 years ago
OK, I will do that instead, thanks, it really goes better with the name of the site anyhow...let Sir Sttaford wait for a while in the "Akasha Files". I will do it as a progression of my morning/afternoon practices, so as not to take too much space/attention at a time.
