Surya - Sun
From The Mahabharata Vana Parva, Section III, Translated by
Sri Kisari Mohan Ganguli
Vaisampayana said: Thus it is that the sun is the
father of all creatures. Do thou, hence, take refuge even in him. O illustrious
one, listen to the one hundred and eight names (of the sun) as they were
disclosed of old by Dhaumya to the high souled son of Pritha.

These are
the hundred and eight names of Surya of immeasurable energy, as told by the
self-created (Brahma). For the acquisition of prosperity, I bow down to thee, O
Bhaskara, blazing like unto gold or fire, who is worshipped of the gods and the
Pitris and the Yakshas, and who is adored by the Asuras, Nisacharas, and
Siddhas. He that with fixed attention recites this hymn at sunrise obtains wife
and offspring and riches and the memory of his former existence, and by reciting
this hymn a person attains patience and memory. Let a man concentrating his
mind, recite this hymn. By doing so, he shall be proof against grief and every
object of desire shall be his.
Vaisampayana continued: Having heard from
Dhaumya these words suitable to the occasion, Yudhishthira the just, with heart
concentrated within itself and purifying it duly, became engaged in austere
meditation, and worshipping the maker of day with offerings of flowers and other
articles, the king performed his ablutions. Standing in the stream, he turned
his face towards the god of day. And touching the water of Ganga (Ganges river),
the virtuous Yudhishthira with senses under complete control and depending upon
air alone for his sustenance, stood there with rapt soul engaged in Pranayama.
And having purified himself and restrained his speech, he began to sing the
hymn of praise (to the sun).
Yudhishthira sang: Thou art, O sun, the eye of
the universe. Thou art the soul of all corporeal existences. Thou are the origin
of all things. Thou art the embodiment of the acts of all religious men. Thou
art the refuge of those versed in the Sankhya philosophy (the mysteries of the
soul), and thou art the support of the Yogis. Thou art a door unfastened with
bolts. Thou art the refuge of those wishing for emancipation. Thou sustain and
discover the world, and sanctify and support it from pure compassion. Brahmans
versed in the Vedas appearing before thee, adore thee in due time, reciting the
hymns from the respective branches (of the Vedas) they refer. Thou art the
adored of the Rishis. The Siddhas, and the Charanas and the Gandharvas and the
Yakshas, and the Guhyakas, and the Nagas, desirous of obtaining boons follow thy
car coursing through the skies. The thirty-three gods with Upendra (Vishnu) and
Mahendra, and the order of Vaimanikas have attained success by worshipping thee.
By offering thee garlands of the celestial Mandaras (celestial flowers of
much fragrance) the best of the Vidyadharas have obtained all their desires. The
Guhyas and the seven orders of the Pitris - both divine and human- have attained
superiority by adoring thee alone. The Vasus, the Marutas, and the Rudras, the
Sadhyas, the Marichipas, the Valikhilyas, and the Siddhas, have attained
pre-eminence by bowing down unto thee. There is nothing that I know in the
entire seven worlds, including that of Brahma, which is beyond thee. There are
other beings both great and endued with energy; but none of them has thy lustre
and energy. All light is in thee, indeed, thou art the lord of all light.
In
summer thou drawest, by thy rays, moisture from all corporeal existences and
plants and liquid substances, and pourest it down in the rainy season. Thy rays
warm and scorch, and becoming as clouds roar and flash with lightning and pour
down showers when the season cometh. Neither fire nor shelter, nor woollen
cloths give greater comfort to one suffering from chilling blasts than thy rays.
Thou illuminest by thy rays the whole earth with her thirteen islands. Thou
alone are engaged in the welfare of the three worlds. If thou didst not rise,
the universe becomes blind and the learned cannot employ themselves in the
attainment of virtue, wealth and profit. It is through thy grace that the
(three) orders of Brahmanas, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas are able to perform their
various duties and sacrifices (e.g. Adhana, Pashubandha, Ishti, Mantra, Yajna
and Tapa-kriya).
Those versed in chronology say that thou art beginning and
thou the end of a day of Brahma, which consists of a full thousand Yugas. Thou
art the lord of Manus and of the sons of the Manus, of the universe and of man,
of the Manvantaras, and their lords. When the time of universal dissolution
comes, the fire Samvartaka born of thy wrath consumes the three worlds and
exists alone. And clouds of various hues begotten of thy rays, accompanied by
the elephant Airavata and the thunderbolt, bring about the appointed deluges.
And dividing thyself into twelve parts and becoming as many suns, thou drink up
the ocean once more with thy rays. Thou art called Indra, thou art Vishnu, thou
art Brahma, thou art Prajapati. Thou art fire and thou art the subtle mind. And
thou art lord and the eternal Brahma.
Thou art Hansa, thou art Savitri, thou
art Bhanu, Ansumalin, and Vrishakapi. Thou art Vivaswan, Mihira, and Dharma.
Thou art thousand rayed, thou art Aditya, and Tapana, and the lord of rays. Thou
art Martanda, and Arka, and Ravi, and Surya and Saranya and maker of day, and
Divakara, and Suptasaspti, and Dhumakeshin, and Virochana. Thou art spoken of as
swift of speed and the destroyer of darkness, and the possessor of yellow
steeds. He that reverentially adores thee on the sixth or the seventh lunar day
with humility and tranquillity of mind obtains the grace of Lakshmi.
They
that with undivided attention adore and worship thee, are delivered from all
dangers, agonies and afflictions. And they that hold that thou art everywhere
(being the soul of all things) living long, freed from sin and enjoying an
immunity from all diseases. O lord of all food, it behoveth thee to grant food
in abundance unto me who am desirous of food even for entertaining all my guests
with reverence. I bow also to all those followers of thine that have taken
refuge at thy feet - Mathara and Aruna and Danda and others, including Asani and
Kshuva and the others. And I bow also to the celestial mothers of all creatures,
viz., Kshuva and Maitri and the others of the class. O, let them deliver me
their supplient.
Vaisampayana said: Thou, O great king, was the sun that
purifier of the world, adored (by Yudhishthira). And pleased with the hymn, the
maker of day, self-luminous, and blazing like fire showed himself to the son of
Pandu. And Vivaswan said: 'Thou shalt obtain all that thou desire. I shall
provide thee with food for five and seven years together. And, O king, accept
this copper vessel which I give unto thee. And, O thou of excellent vows, as
long as Panchali will hold this vessel, without partaking of its contents fruits
and roots and meat and vegetables cooked in thy kitchen, these four kinds of
food from this day be inexhaustible. And, on the fourteenth year from this, thou
shalt regain thy kingdom.'
Vaisampayana continued: Having said this, the god
vanished away. He that, with the desire of obtaining a boon, recites this hymn
concentrating his mind with ascetic abstraction, obtains it from the sun,
however difficult of acquisition it may be that he asks for. And the person,
male or female, that recites or hears this hymn day after day, if he or she
desires for a son, obtains one, and if riches, obtains them, and if learning,
acquires that too. And the person male or female, that recites this hymn every
day in the two twilights, if overtaken by danger, is delivered from it, and if
bound, is freed from the bonds. Brahma himself had communicated this hymn to the
illustrious Sakra, and from Sakra was it obtained by Narada and from Narada, by
Dhaumya. And Yudhishthira, obtaining from Dhaumya, attained all his wishes. And
it is by virtue of this hymn that one may always obtain victory in war, and
acquire immense wealth also. And it leads the reciter from all sins, to the
solar region.
Vaisampayana continued: Having obtained the boon, the virtuous
son of Kunti, rising from the water, took hold of Dhaumya's feet and then
embraced his brother's. And, O exalted one, wending then with Draupadi to the
kitchen, and adored by her duly, the son of Pandu set himself to cook (their
day's) food. And the clean food, however little, that was dressed, furnished
with the four tastes, increased and became inexhaustible. And with it
Yudhishthira began to feed the regenerate ones. And after the Brahmans had been
fed, and his younger brothers also, Yudhishthira himself ate of the food that
remained, and which is called Vighasa. And after Yudhishthira had eaten, the
daughter of Prishata took what remained. And after she had taken her meal, the
day's food became exhausted.

The Sun Sutra
In the Vibhuti Pada, Patanjali states that samyama
(one-pointed concentration) on the Sun will give a yogi knowledge of the worlds.
How can it be possible that a meditation on the Sun will give the
practitioner knowledge of the worlds? Meditation on the Sun is important because
the Sun is the most conscious Being, Spirit, Force and object in the solar
system. In this modern era of materialism, scientists conceive of the Sun only
as an object- as a star. For the Siddhas, knowledge of the Sun is comprehensive.
According to the philosophy of the Siddhas, consciousness, illumination and
intelligence are synonymous. The more luminous or more brilliant one is, the
greater is one's intelligence. Within our solar system the Sun is undoubtedly
the most luminous object, which makes the intelligence and energy represented by
the Sun exemplary. This type of consciousness is highly desirable to the
Siddhas. The methodology they adopt to obtain the consciousness of the Sun is
simple. It is based on the philosophy that one becomes what one thinks. If one
constantly thinks about the Sun then one becomes the Sun and acquires all of the
Sun's intelligence. The Sun is synonymous with life. The Sun knows every form of
life because all life is a transformed version of solar energy. This is how, by
meditation on the Sun, one acquires knowledge of the worlds. The meditation on
the Sun is as exhaustive as the rays that come out of the Sun. Each ray of the
Sun represents a specific type of power and intelligence. It would take modern
science millions of years of study to understand the full range of the Sun's
powers. The Siddhas found a short-cut to an understanding- they found a way to
access The Sun's power through a simple meditation technique. And that is why
Patanjali instructs Siddhi students to do samyama on the Sun.

More on the nature of light from Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the
Flesh by Matthew Fox:
_ Matter is frozen light (David Bohm).
_ Light
and matter are ultimately interchangeable. "There is no ultimate physical
substance to matter."
_ "Matter is nothing but gravitationally trapped
light."
_ The afterglow of light from the original fireball of the universe
is so significant that "for every one atom of ordinary matter in the Universe
there exist 1 billion light particles."
_ While most of the energy of the
universe resides in matter, almost all particles in the universe are those of
light.
_ For every particle of matter, there are 1 billion particles of
light. "Matter is just a minor pollutant in a Universe made of light" (Ilya
Prigogine).
_ At the origin of the universe, all the light of the universe
was compressed in a volume smaller than the point of a needle.
_ All the
other chemical elements of our bodies (40 percent of the atoms of our bodies)
were forged in the interiors of stars. They are "recycled star dust."
_
Light is a vital ingredient in all atoms and in molecules and life-forms
(including human ones) that are made up of atoms.
_ The human body stores
immense amounts of light: The 100 trillion atoms in each of our 100 trillion
cells together store at least 10 28 photons. This is enough light to illuminate
a baseball field for three hours with I million watts of floodlights.
_ All
nine planets began with the same elements, spun by the same star and burned with
the same energy. _Only Earth was the proper size so that a balance between
gravity and electromagnetic energy happened, allowing a temperature range to
develop where complex molecules could form.
_ The solar cloud that
eventually birthed the sun was 5 million times the diameter of the sun.
_
The sun contains 99.86 percent of all the substance in the solar system. The
Earth contains only 1/332,000 of the sun's mass. The sun is 1 million times
larger than the Earth - one million Earths can fit inside the sun. The moon's
entire orbit around the Earth can fit inside the sun.
_ Flying at 500 miles
per hour, it would take 21 years to reach the sun from Earth, which is 93
million miles away. _Ancients considered the sun eternal, but it was born about
5 billion years ago and will die in about 5 billion years.
_ The sun is
composed "of the same substances as the Earth and, in fact, the Universe as a
whole." An intensely hot sphere of gas, 78 percent of the sun is hydrogen and 20
percent is helium.
_ The temperature on the interior of the sun is about 29
million degrees Fahrenheit.
_ The sun emits more energy in one second than
humankind has consumed in the whole of its history. One second of the sun's
energy is 13 million times the annual mean electricity consumption of the United
States.
_ The Earth receives only 2 parts per billion of the sun's total
energy output - but this is 10,000 times greater than the total energy presently
consumed by the human race.
_99.98 percent of all energy passing through the
atmosphere originates in the sun's core. (The remainder is from starlight,
cosmic rays, and tidal and geothermal energy.)
_ Wood and coal are stored-up
solar energy; wind and ocean currents originate from the sun's radiation, as
does our food. _When coal burns, hibernating sunlight that was imprisoned for
millions of years emerges.
_ Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to travel from
the sun to Earth, but previously it took 20,000 years to emerge from the sun to
travel into space.
_ Photons (or sunlight) take 100,000 years to cross from
one edge of the Milky Way galaxy to the other.
_ The Milky Way is spiral,
and in this kind of galaxy a kind of creativity happens that is absent from
elliptical galaxies. Generation after generation of stars recycle the
interstellar medium and build increasingly complex chemicals along the way.
_Stars fill only 1 part in 100 million of the volume of space.
_ If
stars were closer together than they are, invisible high-energy radiation would
kill most life-forms living within 2 or 3 light-years."
_ The Milky Way is
one of maybe 100 billion galaxies in the universe and one of 30 billion spiral
galaxies. _Our sun and solar system lie about 30,000 light-years from the center
of our galaxy. A car traveling at 100 miles per hour would take 201 billion
years to drive to the center of our galaxy - which is about 20 times the age of
our galaxy.
_ Every 18 days our galaxy gives birth to a new star.
_ The
energy of the Big Bang may have equaled the total energy of 10 million billion
quasars, each of which equals 300 billion suns in light energy alone. _Helium
constitutes about 25 percent of the universe. With little or no helium, the
universe would have no stars, no light, and no life.
_ If helium were 30
percent of the universe instead of 25 percent, our sun would be dying now; and
life would not have happened on Earth. If the intense background radiation had
been less during the first second of the universe, this would have happened.
_ At the beginning of the universe, light was trapped and did not escape for
hundreds of thousands of years.
_ Several hundred thousands of years after
the Big Bang, the universe cooled enough that electrons married nuclei and
created little hydrogen and helium atoms. From these were born galaxies, stars,
planets, and us.
_ One second after the Big Bang the radiation era began.
_At the 700,000-year mark, the radiation era ended and matter separated from
radiation and hydrogen was created. In a few billion years, hydrogen and helium
formed the first galaxies and stars.
_ Hydrogen is the "blood of the
universe.
_ When the universe was 9.6 million years old, it was expanding at
1.98 million miles a second or 10 times faster than the speed of light. Thus
space, not matter, was doing the expanding. A spaceship traveling this fast
could get from Earth to Pluto in less than 25 minutes.
_ The oldest fossil
in the universe was a fossil of radiation discovered in 1965. Coming from every
direction of the universe, it was a remnant from 1 million years after the Big
Bang cataclysm.

I used gold front-surface mirrors for solar gazing for years when I was
really in to it. I had experiences where my watch, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual,
would speed up or slow down by many hours in one day. Reflected light under the
right circumstances is polarized. Multiple mirrors can create circular
polarization left and right handed. These all have very profound effects on the
energy systems of the body.
The Aztecs and Mayans used polished black
obsidian mirrors as well as gold mirrors in their solar gazing practices.
I
had polished black obsidian plates made for me and also used those for solar
gazing with both eyes wide open. I really like the black mirrors more than the
gold ones.
I am currently using polished Specular Hematite mirrors. The best
thing is to find a store that sells crystals and other minerals, or a commercial
lapidary shop. Tell them what you want and they and make slabs of polished black
stone for you. I spent about 18 years researching the effects of plane and
circular polarized light on plants, human cell cultures and also the effects on
EEG (brain waves). Some of the most powerful effects came from near infra red
circular and plane polarized light. Black surfaces (dark) tend to create the
strongest polarization. Our eyes can easily detect polarized vs un-polarized
light. With a little training, we can also detect circular polarized light.
I think you are missing out on some really powerful effects by ignoring the
mirror gazing.

Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov was a very sun-oriented teacher, now departed From
the planet. His followers have published almost all of his spoken talks and
essays. The best in my opinion are:

The Gayatri Prayer to the Rising Sun
Om. Bhur bhuvar svar, tat savitur
varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah pracodayat.
"Om. Earth.
Midspace. Heaven. May we contemplate that most excellent splendor of God
Savitur, so that He may inspire our visions."
For thousands of years, pious
Hindus have recited this Vedic mantra in praise of Savitur, the quickening
aspect of the life-giving Sun. In our own time, this ancient solar teaching has
had a most ardent and convincing spokesman in the person of Omraam Mikhael
Aivanhov. For this Bulgarian-born gnostic master made the life-bestowing solar
being the focus of his whole life and teaching.
When traveling in India, in
1959-60, Aivanhov was welcomed by several renowned Hindu sages, including Swami
Nityananda, as an accomplished master from Europe. One adept hailed him as a
"solar rishi." Although that Hindu sage was not at all familiar with Aivanhov's
teaching, he could not have characterized him better.
The Vedic rishis were
visionaries, spiritual seers. Aivanhov, too, was such a seer. It was on the
basis of his own spiritual realization and of his reading of what he called the
"Book of Nature," that he, like the rishis before him, discovered in the Sun a
great secret. In one of his talks he observed:
As soon as the Sun gets up he
pours forth his light, his warmth and his life, and it is that light, warmth and
life that encourage men and women to get up, too, and go to work . . . The daily
rhythm of human life is patterned on the rhythm of the Sun's movement. And it is
the Sun, too, who is at the origin of all culture and civilisation.*1
Aivanhov reproached us moderns for taking the Sun's existence for granted,
ignoring the fact that without it, there would be no life on Earth. All animate
and inanimate things, Aivanhov noted, are nothing but condensed sunlight.
The Sun is the origin of life. More than that, the Sun is the primordial
teacher. For, without the Sun there would be no human society, religion,
morality, arts, philosophy, and technology. In one of his earliest talks, given
in 1938, Aivanhov remarked:
Everything good comes from the Sun. It is God's
highest manifestation and through it, He sends His blessings.
Elsewhere
Aivanhov observed:
Deprived of sunshine men could never have existed . . .
Without his light they could never have had the faculty of sight, and not only
on the physical level but also on the intellectual level: they could never have
had understanding, for understanding is a higher form of sight.*3
This view
coincides with ancient Hindu teachings. Thus, in the Bhagavad-Gita(4.1), the
God-man Krishna explains to his disciple Prince Arjuna that he, Lord Krishna,
proclaimed his "immutable Yoga" to Vivasvat who then taught it to Manu, the
progenitor of the human race. Vivasvat ("He Who Shines Brightly") is none other
than the solar being, more specifically the creator aspect of the Sun.
Aivanhov saw in light the first emanation of the Divine, retaining the
Divine's qualities more than any other manifestation. As he insisted:
Light
is a living spirit which comes from the Sun and which establishes a direct
relationship with our own spirit.
Aivanhov further claimed that, as a
supremely intelligent being, the Sun is completely responsive to our spiritual
intentions and aspirations. He viewed the Sun as an "open door to Heaven."*5
This reminds one of the famous line in the beautiful Isha-Upanishad, which
speaks of the lid that covers the Truth. Aivanhov also stated that the Sun has
been his principal teacher and that "the Sun's replies are given in a flash,
like an electronic machine."*6
Aivanhov gave the name Surya Yoga, "Solar
Yoga," to the conscious cultivation of that solar umbilical cord to the Divine.
He explained: "By the practice of Surya Yoga you establish a link between
yourself and the power that governs and gives life to the whole Universe: the
Sun. That is why you must necessarily get results! . . . No book can give you
what the Sun gives you if you learn to have the proper relationship with him . .
. If you want to create a bond between you [and the Sun], you have to look at
him in all consciousness. If you do that there will be a communication of
vibrations between the Sun and you in which forms and colours, a whole new
world, will be born."
An important part of Surya Yoga is to contact the Sun
at dawn, which requires proper mental preparation. In order to be able to
approach the rising Sun in a meditative disposition, the solar yogis should live
a balanced life, involving dieting, perhaps even fasting, adequate sleep, and,
above all, an uncluttered mind. Making peace in their own heart, the solar yogis
are able to gather their energies and project themselves into the Sun.
This
projection is made possible by the fact that, on subtler planes of existence, we
are already fully in touch with the solar being. Aivanhov put this fact more
succinctly when he said that the human being already dwells in the Sun.
This
statement has its striking counterpart in the sacred literature of Hinduism. But
Aivanhov's teaching sprang from his own inner experience rather than any study
of the Hindu scriptures. He discovered for himself that, esoterically, the human
being is modeled after the Sun. We participate in the Sun's splendor, though we
are habitually unaware of this fact. Aivanhov's unique contribution is that he
has made age-old esoteric knowledge accessible to modern students.
Aivanhov
affirmed many times that by focusing on the Sun, and by attuning ourselves to
the solar "wavelengths," we are made whole. He spoke of "eating" and "drinking"
light, the primordial food of the universe. As he put it:
We go to the
sunrise in order to nourish ourselves with light . . . Man needs to feed on
light in order to nourish his brain . . . Light awakens those faculties that
enable man to penetrate the spiritual world.
Aivanhov, who was a very
practical man, recommended this exercise:
In your thought, with your
imagination, try to draw some of these divine particles [of the Sun] into
yourself. In this way, little by little, you will completely regenerate all the
materials of your being. Thanks to the Sun you will think and act as a child of
God.
Aivanhov further stated: "There is no more worthy, more glorious or
more potent work than this work with light."
Aivanhov's Surya Yoga furnishes
us with a vision of our solar system and human existence that is truly
magnificent. It replaces our egocentric view, which sees everything revolving
around the human individual. Simultaneously it relieves us of the burden of
having to play God, and instead facilitates our native ability to transcend the
ego and to find the bliss of the Divine in our life. The ego is the ultimate
black hole. It sucks in light but emits none.
The Sun is the exact opposite
of the ego. It ceaselessly bestows life upon the world. Its life is a true
sacrifice. This secret message was clearly understood by the ancient rishis.
Aivanhov reminded us of the fact that we inhabit a far more wondrous
universe than science would have us believe -- ·a universe
that is patiently waiting for our conscious, mature collaboration.
About
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov: Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov was born in 1900 in the small
Macedonian village of Serbtzy. He was a precocious child and early on became
fascinated with spiritual matters. At the age of sixteen, he was plunged into a
state of ecstasy in which he experienced everything bathed in, and suffused
with, light -- an experience that left a lasting mark on his understanding of
the nature of existence.
A year later he found his teacher in the saintly
Peter Deunov (Beinsa Deuno), a gnostic master, who had a following of tens of
thousands. At his teacher's behest, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov emigrated to France
in 1937 to spread the teaching of light outside his homeland. He lived and
tirelessly taught in France for nearly half a century until his death in
December of 1986.
The title Omraam, bestowed on him by Neemkaroli Baba, when
visiting that Indian sage, is the French spelling of the two sacred syllables om
and ram.
Master Aivanhov never wrote anything, but his countless talks were
recorded and collected by his disciples. Today many of these impromptu talks are
available in various languages. Thus, over forty volumes of talks are in print
in the English language, with hundreds more being planned for publication over
the coming years. His life and teachings are presented in Georg Feuerstein's
The Mystery of Light, which was newly released in Spring 1998.

"Light : Medicine of the Future" by Jacob Liberman is a good introduction to
the growing field of light therapy. (Syntonics)
Our Relationship with Light
& Color by Dr., Annette M., Patterson
http://www.wellbeinginst.com/Rep&Art_Relationship.htm
In studying the work of Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D., I discovered that it
has been scientifically proven that light is responsible for "turning on" the
brain and the body. It enters through the eyes and skin. When even a single
photon enters the eye, it lights up the entire brain. It triggers the
Hypothalamus, which regulates all of the body's life-sustaining functions, our
autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and our body's master gland, the
pituitary. The Hypothalamus is also responsible for our body's biological clock.
This gland then sends a message, by way of light, to the Pineal Organ, which is
responsible for releasing one of our most important hormones, Melatonin.
Melatonin's release is directly related to light, darkness, colors, and the
earth's electromagnetic field. It affects each and every cell in our entire
body, and turns on each cell's internal activities, making them able to
harmonize with each other, and nature. It is believed the Pineal is the part of
us that allows the feeling of oneness with the universe, and sets the stage for
our most intimate relationship, that of our inner being with the environment.
Animals come by this naturally, living in nature.

LIGHT by Eric Ashford
Light is your understanding. Light is the knowing,
and not the knowledge. Light is being compassionate with yourself. Light is not
clinging to anything. Light is wanting nothing. Light is knowing you have
everything worth having. Light is seeing what is, in what appears. Light is the
understanding of children. Light is your sensual nature and your spiritual
reality. Light is your divinity. Light is your acceptance of humanity. Light is
your awareness of the love you are. Light is your open and unashamed heart.
Light is your forgiveness. Light is the content of form. Light is beauty in all
things. Light is no thought in thought. Light is soul awareness. Light is
growth, decay, and renewal. Light is gratitude. Light is releasing all that has
gone. Light is knowing you are at the very point of perfection now. Light is an
awakening from fear. Light is awakening from littleness. Light is the gift of
grandeur. Light is the home of peace. Light is the bloom of creation. Light is
your breath in God. Light is God on your breath. Light is where you came from.
Light is where you are. Light is where your going. Light is anything that is
open. Light is recognition. Light is the bud of manifestation. Light is the
bloom of holiness. Light is the vibration of infinite energy, infinitely
expressing itself. Light is Love. Light is the eternal in the atom of this
moment. In all the world there is only you.
Shine.

This force, upon awakening into conscious activity, weaves from the auric
"substance" upon the ideal archetype it contains (which is the energy body) the
personal expression of the fullness of consciousness. This unlimited personal
vehicle of self expression is termed in Greek the augoeides, the "shining form."
In the Apocalypse the augoeides is secretly called the "solar body" (to soma
heliakon). The solar body makes its appearance in a brief but very important
allusion.
The author describes the solar body graphically and fancifully as
a "new city." This new city descends from the heavens.
"And I saw the holy
city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband."129

As many of you know, I'm sure, the Gayatri has been chanted to the rising
(and setting) sun in India for centuries before Christ. Some believe it's the
most ancient prayer we have, even before the Vedas. Young Indian children take
the Gayatri Initiation early on. In transliteration from the Sanskrit, the
prayer reads: Surya Yoga really begins with the Sun Greeting, the Surya Namaskar series of
12 yoga postures. Once learned along with the Gayatri, I find they combine well.
Start with 'Bhur' on the inhale with the first postures of clasping together of
the hands, and say 'Yo Naha' as one word on the second-to-last. Carl Jung in "Memories, Dreams and Reflections:" -=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

A friend was talking with some of the people who were going with me to a
workshop near Mexico City. After the workshop he was talking about the fact that
he was surprised because people were complaining that their parents didn't love
them enough. People were sharing about their experiences in life and several of
them were talking about suffering for many years because their parents didn't
love them enough. Dr. Sudhir Shah reporting on Shri Hira Ratan Manek's 411-day
sungazing/fasting experience: Hello, Hira: I'm so glad to be in touch with you! I've been very impressed
with your ability to switch your body over to operating on sunlight! I spoke
with Vinny a little about the work Sri Aurobindo -- well, especially his Sweet
Mother Mira -- did towards the divinization of the physical. A very interesting
book regarding this is Satprem's "The Life of the Cells." Satprem was Mother's
daily companion for many years, and kept many notes of their talks. I also spoke
with him about Omraam Michael Aivanov's life and experiences, again recommending
the book that I believe is mentioned in my letter that Vinny posted on his
website. It seems that you were in the Bay Area recently, and that unfortunately
it was a 'missed opportunity' for me. Do let me know whenever you plan to pass
through here again! As someone who has never had anyone with whom to share the
solar divine experience, you cannot imagine how excited and pleased I am to have
made contact now with what looks like a network of sungazers! Looking forward --

part of them I would crtique are the hatha yoga warm-up postures, which in the
view of a hatha yoga teacher-friend are not 'balanced and complimentary'.
Instead, I would recommend the Surya Namaskar sequence while reciting the

postures, I have found. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-

Sungazing Techniques Sunyogi Umasankar was born into a Hindu family in West Bengal, near Calcutta
in 1967. Living next to an ashram throughout his childhood, he developed an
early interest in Yoga and religion. By the age of eighteen, having spent a
large proportion of his life practicing Yoga, he made the decision to dedicate
part of his life to walking through every state of India spreading the message
of 'Universal Unity, Peace and Brotherhood'. Although his spiritual training is
from a Hindu background, Swamiji's message has always been directed at people of
all religions. His ideas are based on a religion of humanity that makes no
distinction between colour, race or religion... a path for all mankind with a
common goal that is unity, peace and brotherhood. What does the infra-red diode biopack light therapy actually do? "The Sun Is Alive: The Spirit, Consciousness and Intelligence of Our Solar
System" by Brett Mitchell I-85 The nature of human perception of the Sun and its Mysteries in the three
pre-Christian Cultural Eras From from http://www.raysender.com/www.treeoflife.nu/ewlight.html
Although I have a total interest and respect for HRM's teaching on gradually
increasing one's sungazing, I must confess that my own method, over many years,
has differed. I spent many hours in the Sixties lying on my back in a redwood
grove gazing at the sunlight filtering down through the redwood branches.
Absolutely heavenly! The only problem was that as the sun moved, the quality of
the light shifted and I would have to come back to the body and move it.
I wanted a sunlight attenuator. I streched my hands out to arms' length and
tried various 'mudras,' finger/hand positions that allow only a portion of
sunlight to pass through. I have tried pinholes in dark paper covering a pair of
glasses, but remain unsure just exactly where on the retina the light should be
aimed. I've wondered if perhaps the so-called 'blind spot' where the optic nerve
attaches to the retina might be the place for the sunbeam to be centered. Now
that I've described it, perhaps it's time to make another set of these glasses
again!
I have continued to use a instrument called a 'sun strobe,' a rotating disk
with two slots cut out that create a strobing effect on the eyelids or eyes.
This is truly an interesting device that allows one to enjoy various geometric
patterns and colors while absorbing sunlight at the same time.
Otherwise, my main practice is to greet the sun briefly in the morning with
the Gayatri prayer, perhaps gazing at it for less than a minute. Other times
during walks with our dog, I enjoy a game of hide-and-seek with the Solar
Source, greeting him/her from behind the leaves of sidewalk trees,
rediscoveringthe light as I round the corner of the block. I take brief sips of
sunlight while I continue my travels, but I do not usually extend a session for
longer than five or ten seconds of full sunlight.
Reading into the Delphic mysteries and ceremonies, it seems that branches of
laurel and olive were carried in front of the face to attenuate the full sun.
Shaking them would trigger a strobing effect that might also have played a part,
not to mention the touch of the leaves on the sensitive surfaces of the face (a
reflex that I am now studying with great interest). This offers a very easy and
natural method of sungazing in partial sun that no doubt also reaches far back
into pre-history.
I went on to design a slit-roof solar observatory with a tilted couch, but
which up until now I have never built. With HRM's recommendation of grounding
the bare feet to the earth, I would now add a copper pipe hammered into the
ground that either be grasped or attached to the feet by copper mesh. Anyway, on
the wave of all this interest, I have cleared the sunniest area in the back of
the garden into a 14 by 20 foot open area that will receive excellent morning
sun -- and all-day winter sun because the walnut that otherwise is our summer
midday shade drops its leaves, fortunately. I would invite anyone with an
interest to suggest a design for a variable-slit dome that would track the sun
all day but can close for rainy weather. A low price is important!
Perhaps a structure is not necessary? Perhaps it can be done with pinhole
glasses or a 'helmet' of some sort? I have also experimented with various types
of filters including colored glass, fabric and plastic. There was a blue-tinted
skylight that I once encountered that was absolutely bliss-inducing, and I still
occasionally search for that shade of plastic in hardware stores.
Anyway, let me say again how very excited and happy I am to have discovered
so many fellow-travelers along this sunlit path! Just remember not to force your
meditations beyond what absolutely and positively feels good.
Easy does it, as twelve-steppers say! We are not all overnight sun virtuosi!
Based on the Ancient Aryan Philosophy of Light
--- In Guruevents@y..., "purushaz"
The pure I AM is the mirror of Reality. To dive into the
I AM means to go beyond the I AM. The I AM is also called the Heart. When the
Heart opens you merge with the "I" which is beyond the I AM.
*** This and
only this is what is called Self-Realization
The soft and spacious seat of
the blazing Sun of the "I" is called I AM or Heart.
Subject: The sun: an instrument or a master?
People may start Sungazing
(SG) mostly for a purpose or mostly for liking to watch the sun. I fully agree
with Vinny's comments on the unhappy and happy persons linked with the
motivation for SG. What I want to add is that most happy persons, who do SG just
because they feel good while doing it, have also a personal relationship with
the sun. For them the Sun is something alive, a spirit. For the unhappy persons,
the sun is just a celestial body, an object on duty, doing mechanically its job
for millions of years, an object which did not change a bit in millions of
years, the most still object that exists in our solar sistem. But the essence of
any spiritual path is stillness, the suppression of the movement of the body and
of the mind. From this perspective, the Sun is the ultimate master. That's what
my inner feeling says. Acharya Jowel said it with these words: "The sun's rays
collide with our thoughts and create silence. The mind is too powerful to be
managed by ordinary human consciousness. The photons from the solar system help
to control the mind." I think that SG without feeling a close relationship with
the Sun will fail to deliver any spiritual growth. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
(3:26 ) tell about samyama on the Sun, meaning identification with the Sum, or
as Drago said "The Sun and I are One", as the gate (or Star Gate) to the seven
worlds, corresponding to the seven charkas. Patanjali does not mention anything
about SG, apparently because it is an inferior for of connection to the Sun,
samyama, or intense meditation on it being superior to the tratak (eye focusing
without blinking) on the Sun.
P
For about 35 years I've meditated (chanting
the Gayatri) on the rising sun as a conscious divine being (Surya Yoga). About a
month earlier than the Taoist connection, I did a 'solar meditation' search on
the Internet that brought me to the site of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov's disciples
and his transcribed works, of which "The Splendour of Tiphareth (Complete Works
Collection, vol.10)" absolutely delighted me with its enthusiastic description
of the insights to be gained from sun yoga - a nature-inspired approach to
no-mind that has always worked for me -- i.e. 'Things seem brighter when you're
in love' but the other way 'round... http://www.prosveta-usa.com

"Our conversation took
place on the roof of the fifth story of the main building [pueblos at Taos]. At
frequent intervals figures of other Indians could be seen on the roofs, wrapped
in their woolen blankets, sunk in contemplation of the wandering sun that daily
rose into a clear sky....
As I sat with Ochwiay Biano on the roof, the
blazing sun rising higher and higher, he said, pointing to the sun, 'Is not he
who moves there our father? How can anyone say differently? How can there be
another god? Nothing can be without the sun.' His excitement, which was already
perceptible, mounted still higher; he struggled for words, and exclaimed at
last, "What would a man do alone in the mountains? He cannot even build his fire
without him.'
I asked him whether he did not think the sun might be a fiery
ball shaped by an invisible god. My question did not even arouse astonishment,
let alone anger. Obviously it touched nothing within him; he did not even think
my question stupid. It merely left him cold. I had the feeling that I had come
upon an insurmountable wall. His only reply was, 'The sun is God. Everyone can
see that'....'
[from a another conversation with the Pueblo chief] "I
therefore asked him" 'You think, then, that what you do in your religion
benefits the whole world?' He replied with great animation, 'Of course. If we
did not do it, what would become of the world?' And with a significant gesture
he pointed to the sun.... 'After all,' he said, 'we are a people who live on the
roof of the world; we are the sons of Father Sun, and with our religion we daily
help our father to go across the sky. We do this not only for ourselves, but for
the whole world. If we were to cease practicing our religion, in ten years the
sun would no longer rise. Then it would be night forever.'" (Memories, Dreams
Reflections 248-52).
The story begins in 1906 when Jung treated a
patient at the Burgholzli hospital who experienced a strange vision. The man was
E. Schwyzer and he was born in 1862. Schwyzer suffered from paranoid
schizophrenia, and on occasion was allowed to walk unattended in the hospital
whereupon one day Jung saw him looking out of a window, staring at the sun. He
was moving his head from side to side in a weird fashion. Jung said, "He took me
by the arm and said he wanted to show me something. He said I must look at the
sun with eyes half shut, and then I could see the sun's phallus (penis). If I
moved my head from side to side the sun - phallus would move too, and that was
the origin of the wind". Four years later, in 1910, Jung obtained a book by
Dieterich that had a translation of an ancient papyrus text. This text virtually
described his patient's dream and the point that amazed Jung was that his
patient had not read the text or even heard about it. The ancient document had
only just been translated. Jung wrote, "The vision of my patient in 1906, and
the Greek text first edited in 1910, should be sufficiently far apart to rule of
the possibility of cryptomnesia on his side and of thought - transference on
mine."
In 1959, in a television interview, Journalist John Freeman asked
Jung, "Is there any one case that you can now look back on and feel perhaps it
was the turning point of your thought?" In answering Jung identified the Solar
Phallus man case.

Today, it is the 411th day of Shri Hira Ratan
Manek's fast. (on the14th February 2001) He started fasting from 1.1.2000. He is
on a total fast as per Jainism. He is consuming only boiled water daily between
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. only and no other liquids and just no other food, No I\V or
I\M injections. Medical checkup commenced few days before fasting program &
continued until today. It consists of daily written record of pulse, blood
pressure, respiration, Temperature, water intake, urine output, weight etc.
Relevant Hematological and biochemical (basic and few advanced) tests are done
periodically i.e. monthly or fortnightly. ECGs are taken regularly. Ultra
Sonography, EEG, CT. Scan and M.R.I. Brain have been taken at the end of one
year and a team consisting of general practitioners physicians, surgeons,
Cardiologists, endocrinologist and a neurologist have been examining him
regularly and periodically from first day of fasting. Except for loss of 19 Kg
weight, (Which is now stable with no further weight loss for last3 months) a
slight reduction of pulse rate and B.P. and definite reduction of respiratory
rate (from 18 to now 10/minute) amazingly, there is no other medical
abnormality. Even the brain and mental capacities are absolutely normal. There
are hardly any findings. He has stopped passing stool after 16th day of fasting
and urine output is maintained at around 600to 800 c.c. His blood sugar is
between 60 to 90. Rest of the parameters are all normal.
Most surprisingly,
he had himself climbed the famous Shatrunjay mountain (Palitana hill) on 4.4.01,
on 401st day of his legendary fasting along with 500 fellowmen without anybody's
help, within 1.5 Hrs. only.
It is just amazing. Isn't it ?

I was delighted to have a visit at my place of work
today from Mason Dwinell of sungazers.com -- also now reading on this list.
Welcome, Mason! And thank you for your inspirational visit. It's so exciting for
me to be meeting other sungazers in person -- and even 'virtually' on this list!
It seems that there may be 'something' happening, with so many people coming
forward to talk about living / healing themselves directly on the Source. But
it's also good to remind ourselves that we already are that same Source on the
'inside' that we are merging with on the 'outside.' Once we succeed in merging
these two lights - that inner light within our very cells and the outer light
that creates and maintains our planet - we will then learn how to transfigure
the human form into what it is capable of becoming. Like a butterfly emerging
from its cocoon, our caterpiller selves will be transformed -- on the physical
plane, is the promise!
The fundamentalists have it partially correct with
their "Rapture" theory, although I believe that the Christ returns daily at
sunrise and merely awaits patiently our awakening to the reality of the Presence
daily in our lives. Then we can discover that this planet is the Garden of Eden,
and set about re-planting and recovering our original paradise.
The curious
thing about the Power of Darkness is that the light lies buried even in the
deepest darkness, only awaiting our awareness to bring it forth.
Beams and
Blessings,
I agree with other replies that
these solar flares are not harmful. There was a video of a solar flare on TV
last night -- truly inspiring! It looked as if the sun was blowing a kiss to the
planets!
I've always wanted to do an experiment with a solar telescope, and
engage in conversation/prayer with the Solar Being and see if there is any
immediate visual response. I have a feeling there will be, but then I'm
considered somewhat eccentric by some for my view that all elements of our
so-called physical universe are conscious. Light=Consciousness=Love
Sat=Chit=Ananda Being=Consciousness=Bliss
My favorite name for the sun is
made up of all the vowels, and by odd coincidence (not so odd, really)
duplicates one of the names of God from the Old Testament - Yahweh. I spell it
phonetically, starting with a wide smile on the exhale:
EEEEE-AHHHH-OWWWW-OOOOOH- and the inhale: EHHHHHHHHH
It turns into a sort of
full-circle breath mantra on all the vowels. How wonderful to name our God as
the breath, so we can some day actually return to Her/Him on our final
exhale...!
The Muslim name for God, Al-lah, I always think of being based on
the heartbeat. Try saying 'la-la-la' in time with your pulse.
This makes me
wonder if the historic tension between the Israelites and their surrounding
brethren evolved from an ancient argument about whether God's name is the breath
or the heartbeat. Of course, one can combine the two: (BIG INHALE)
Exhale:
EEEEE-AHHHH-OWWWW-OOOOOH-EHHHH Inhale: La-la-la-la-la (on the heartbeat)
"Eloheem" is also a beautiful name for the Solar Being, and places the mouth
at the end in a smile.
I adore the wonderful Sun Mother/Father who gives us
life and keeps everything growing so that we may embrace each other in love and
understanding.
And I believe that as we "awaken" to the Truth of solar
consciousness, and as it spreads across the planet, we offer the Sun a mirror
reflection of His/Her glorious self and in return She/He will help us break open
the old shell of materialistic/dualistic thinking and that has been like our
'pupa stage' as a species and spread our wings in the light of a higher
evolutionary plane as "sun-children of a marvelous dawn," to quote my favorite
part of Sri Aurobindo's epic poem "Savitri". (I'll append the full quote below).
So let's keep spreading the word, and throw away the Kali Yuga darkened
incomprehension of and paranoia about the Light!!!
My favorite "Savitri"
quote:
I saw the Omnipotent's flaming pioneers
Over the heavenly verge
which turns towards life
Come crowding down the amber stairs of birth;
Forerunners of a divine multitude
Out of the paths of the morning star
they came
Into the little room of mortal life.
I saw them cross the
twilight of an age,
The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn,
The great
creators with wide brows of calm
The massive barrier-breakers of the world
And wrestler with destiny in her lists of will,
The laborers in the
quarries of the gods,
The messengers of the Incommunicable,
The
architects of immortality.
Faces that wore the Immortal's
glory still
Voices that communed still with the thoughts of God,
Carrying the magic word, the mystic fire,
Carrying the Dionysian cup of
joy,
Approaching eyes of a diviner man,
Lips chanting an anthem to the
soul,
Feet echoing in the corridors of Time,...
High priests of wisdom,
sweetness, might and bliss,
Discoverers of beauty's sunlit ways
And
swimmers within rapture's laughing, fiery floods
And dancers within
rapture's golden doors,
Their tread one day shall change the suffering earth
And justify the light on Nature's face.
These things shall be,
-- a loftier race
Than ere the world hath known shall rise
With flame of
freedom in their souls,
And light of knowledge in their eyes.
New arts
shall bloom of loftier mould
And mightier music fill the skies,
And
every life shall be a song,
When all the earth is paradise.
Despite the anguish
and suffering that we currently experience planetside, I still believe this
dream can come true in a flash, in a second. If enough of us awaken to solar
consciousness, I think we can trigger a wave of awakening that will sweep across

In my view, before we can hope to evolve to more subtle energy levels, we
must 'feed the baby,' by which I mean learn how to fill ourselves to
satisfaction with warm, bubbly currents of 'chi' or 'prana' or 'orgone energy'
or 'joy'. I am referring to that 'relaxation response' place that most of us
humans only tend to experience awake in the post-orgasmic state or perhaps when
enjoying an especially tasty snack or candy bar (this is where the whole problem
of overweight arises, in my opinon), because many people have forgotten how to
feed their baby from the endless pool of bliss that we melt into every night in
sleep, that great mother ocean of ecstasy from which our individual 'waves'
emerge upon awakening.
Now sungazing feeds the baby some lovely light snacks
(smile), and I like to turn around the popular phrase "Things seem brighter when
you're in love" to read: ""When you gaze at our brightest star, your heart melts
into raptures of adoration."
On the other hand, at my office I face a north
window and the sun only enters the west window for few month of the year.
However I began to get these energy waterfalls a few years ago, and this began a
search for their cause. Out of this evolved an article, "Why Is The Buddha
Smiling?" www.raysender.com/smile.html and a poem www.raysender.com/rabbit.html
and the technique of nursing on my uvula first thing upon awakening in the
morning, before the 'ocean of sleep bliss' completely subsides into
unconsciousness. The uvula is that odd fleshy thing that hangs down from the
back of your throat. Science has never discovered a physiological use for it,
but I think I have discovered why it's there. Now I have tried to share this
with various friends, but must confess that uvula-nursing seems to only work
best for me. So I reference it here as a variation of the kechari mudra, which I
also practice in a unique manner in the following tongue exercise:
Stick
your tongue out as far as is comfortable. Hold it in position with your upper
and lower teeth, but not as to cause any discomfort. Now see how S L O W L Y you
can bring your tongue back into your mouth by pulling it back against your
teeth. The slower the better. Finally you will be holding just the tip of your
tongue between your front teeth, a mudra (gesture) we unconsciously make when we
are concentrating on a task, such as threading a needle.
The tongue is an
amazing bundle of nerve endings, and as such is a wonderful resource for
lowering one's bliss threshhold -- or as I prefer to call it, 'raising your
Eudaemony ceiling.' Usually what happens, when we hit our Eudemony ceiling, is
we 'space out,' by which I mean that we begin to think about what's in the
fridge or maybe something good is on the boob tube, or it's time to 'do
something.' But I suggest that next time you reach that spot, pick whatever
exercise got your there and KEEP GOING!
Other techniques I use include
various vocal resonance methods (OM-ing of course is the most well-known and no
doubt the best), including an extended self-taught course on learning how to
purr (snore on the inhale, gargle a French 'r' on the exhalem, and then try to
merge the two so that they come from the same place in the back of the throat).
Extended OM-ing or purring -- or other vocalizations will melt what Wilhelm
Reich named 'body armor,' the lateral tensions (especially in the chest area)
that impede the flow of energies. After a period of resonating, I find that just
my ordinary speaking voice echoes out to my toes and fingertips in a pleasant
manner, as if my whole insides have become an echo chamber.
Subject: another description of khechari (no tongue cutting)
>from http://www.kamakala.com/vama-2.htm
>Another powerful technique we will use is the Khechari Mudra. Like the
Shambhavi, this Mudra is also a very effective method to channel energy into the
brain. Khechari Mudra does this through a specific position of the tongue.

manifest from Nothingness (we call the 'stars'!).

Re: Pineal Gland and leaking away of solar energy
Pineal increases in size
if it receives any source of cosmic energy and more or less the size is 3x6 or
8mm but in me even at this age of 65 they found appreciably increased than
normal and so it can be concluded that it has increased though it was not
measured earlier. Once your body becomes like a solar chip than even if you skip
sunlight or earth nothing adverse happens and even daylight which is a solar
energy keeps everything ok. One has to make the body like a solar chip that's
all and than no cause of worry. As a matter of fact though nothing adverse
happens in absence of sun gazing etc. we out of fear or emotions think that way
and so we feel such happenings. If we do not think of any adverse effects
nothing adverse happens. Many times we think of unnecessary things and feel that
such things are happening though in reality they are not. Sun energy even gets
recharged or regenerated with normal daylight. We read experiences of so many
and these readings revolve in us and in many cases even without real things
happening because of our lack of positive thinking we take it as something
adverse happening. Sun energy does not easily get discharged from us and so
don't worry when you are unable to do the practice and think positively that
even daylight recharges you and of course daylight is lesser sun energy. Don't
think too much and do the practice whenever possible and always feel that sun is
taking care of you and than sun will definitely take care of you. Your devotion
or faith on sun definitely reaches sun and sun than is bound to help you. We do
not understand how this signals from us go to sun but they do go. Hence
remaining positive for sun is a must.(take SUN AS A Super satellite). sun energy
and our autosuggestions give the results we desire. So simple yet we fail to use
it. I believe I have answered to your questions and if something is missing I
will be always ready to answer. Thanks

Transcribed and adapted by
the SUNGazers.
This is the adaptation of a lecture given by HRM December 01,
2002.
This talk is about the renewed Sun Science that will give a new
direction to humankind and solve many of the ills of the present day human
society. Solutions on all fronts -- be it related to physical, emotional, mental
and/or spiritual diseases. As a matter of fact, it is the rebirth of a science
practiced in ancient times throughout the world. HRM is reviving and
regenerating this lost practice. In different part of India it is known as Surya
Namaskar or Sun Salutations. Similar practice was in Greece, Egypt it was called
Heliotherapy, and so too in the Americas -- Brazil, Mexico, Peru. The Inca
civilization, which spread over S., and N. America practiced it. INTA means sun.
Example is the health resort sun temples in Machu Pichu, Peru. Ancient writings
found on this mountain top describe how to garner energy through the sun. Energy
from sun has been used since times immemorial. We know it is a scientific fact
that without sun or its energy nothing will move, every movement of every
creature even the various energies electrical, magnetic, wind directly or
indirectly sources itself to the sun.
Now days we rarely use the sun energy
willingly as we are scared of the solar radiation and treat it like the enemy.
Many human crises occur due to lack of use of sun energy. First major crisis is
mental tension and worries. Lack of self-confidence. Negative thinking. Fear,
anger, irritation, greed, hostility, and lack of compassion. All these are
ailments of the mind. Can we overcome all these setbacks easily? Can the present
human kind -- each and every one of us, become a good-natured person
contributing to world peace?
Yes, if we make use of the sun energy.
Next
crisis, after psychosomatic disorders come physical diseases and then lastly
spiritual ignorance. We can ourselves hardly liberate us from these problems and
diseases. As we age we have the onset of geriatric diseases Parkinson's,
Alzheimer's. The biggest setback we have encountered is lack of immunity. Most
of us suffer from poor immunity. We have no energy to tackle day-to-day living.
We can overcome all this by taking sun energy. It is an established fact that
total health includes mental, physical and spiritual wellness.
We have a
super computer in our bodies give to us by nature. This is our brain. HRM calls
it the "brainutor". The brain is more powerful than the most advanced super
computer. Each and every human being is gifted with innumerable talents, and
infinite inherent powers by nature. Individuals should never underestimate
themselves. Everyone is gifted. If we make use of these powers we can take
ourselves to great levels. Unfortunately these infinite inherent powers are
programmed in that part of the brain that is largely dormant and goes unused.
Even medical science agrees we hardly make use of the brain but about 5-7% --
the most brilliant of humans like Albert Einstein are reported to have used only
about 32% of his brain.
If we can activate the human brain and awaken these
infinite powers stored in us then we can raise ourselves to higher levels. We
can achieve any results we want. In order to operate the brain effectively it
needs to be activated. Being a holistic entity it needs a holistic power supply.
Sun energy is the source that powers the brain. Sun energy can enter and leave
the human body or the brain only through one organ and that is the human eye.
Eye is the Sun Energy's entry door to the human brain. Eyes are also known as
the window of the soul. Recent research has found out that the eye has many more
functions than that of vision. And more information is continuing to be revealed
about the functions of the eye. The eyes are a complex organ and they have 5
billion parts much more than a spacecraft that has about 6-7 million parts. By
this you can see the immense capacity of the human eye.
HRM asserts that the
rainbow is in eye not in the sky. The seven colors of the sun is only the
reflection of what is in the eye. We can create a rainbow anytime we want -- go
to the garden just observe below a source of flowing water as the sun moves
above. There you will see the rainbow. Eye can receive the entire spectrum of
the sunlight. It's like having a glass window. Eye is the perfect instrument to
receive all the colors of the rainbow.
Since eyes are a delicate part of the
body we have to use it in such a way that our purposes are served as well as
that it doesn’t get damaged. Present day teachings and ideas
such as "Don't look at the sunlight at all --you will damage your eyesight;
never go out in the sun as you will get cancer," are causing needless hysteria
and paranoia. The more you are away from nature the more there is cause for
illness and you will automatically support global corporations. There are
definite foolproof ways of getting from nature the benefits it has to offer not
exposing ourselves to its adverse effects.
Receive sunlight only in the
morning or evening hours 1-hour after sunrise or 1-hr before sunset. It is
proven beyond a reasonable doubt that at these times one is free from UV and IR
rays exposure. The UV index remains at 2 all through out winter. Best times to
take sunbath other than winter times are the 2-hours window before sunset and/or
after sunrise. Gazing has the added advantage that you get vitamin A and D
during the 1-hour window. Vitamin A is necessary for the health of the eye, the
only vitamin that the eye requires. If you gaze, the spectacles and the
associated power in the eye will go away. This is better eyesight without
glasses. It is safe to gaze during the one-hour period of sunrise and sunset or
during winter when the intensity is less.
Actually there is no sunrise or
sunset. It how we define it. Sun is fixed it is we on earth that rotate. HRM
experimented on his own body for three years and devised this method based on
trial and error. This can be accomplished by anyone in any part of the earth in
any part of the year. HRM is not a unique figure anyone can do this. Now
thousands are using this and achieving results. In Brazil, Australia, Germany,
more than 3000 people are remaining on light. There are thousands eating light
around the globe -a rebirth of a science that was practiced long time ago. Food
has bid goodbye to them it is not that they have stopped eating. Originally this
was a spiritual practice now it is a scientific practice. It can be followed by
anyone.
When the results become reproducible it will become scientific. This
practice will become a challenge to conventional medicine. This is a simple
program for humanity. HRM has gone through 125 complementary alternative
holistic modalities ˆin all of them he infers they rely on the sun
energy. HRM has one intention that is to have humanity become truly independent.
We all love to be independent. Are we independent? We become independent if we
solve our own mental, physical, and spiritual problems. We can achieve this with
the use of the brainutor given to us by nature. As we make use of
sun‚s power supply and we make use of the energized brain it
becomes less and less dormant.
To determine when the sunrise is or the
sunset period check the local newspaper to get the daily timings. Both times are
good for practice ˆit depends on individual convenience. Day by day
this practice is becoming popular and is being known as the HRM phenomena. HRM
envisions that it is the acronym for human resource management!
Sun gazing
is a one-time practice of your lifetime. Look at the rising or setting sun one
time per day. First day look for a maximum of 10 seconds. Second day look for 20
seconds at the rising sun adding ten seconds every succeeding day. So at the end
of 10 continuous days of sun gazing you will be looking at the sun for 100
seconds i.e. 1 minute and 40 seconds. Stand on bare earth with bare foot. Eyes
can blink and/or flicker. Stillness or Steadiness of the eyes is not required.
Why don’t you watch the sun instead of the TV? The intensity of
the TV is much more than the rising or setting sun. If you can watch TV you can
easily watch the rising or setting sun safely. Have a belief component in you
that the sun rays or light that you are getting into the eyes is of immense
benefit and will not harm you. This will give you earlier, quicker and better
results. Without fail, even with out a belief component also you will get
results if you follow the practice -- it will take longer time -- that's all.
YOU need not restrict any of your normal daily routines in life. There are no
restrictions. No fasting, enjoy your food. Hold on to your food like a parent
holding on to the infant baby. It is hunger that will disappear, food that will
leave you. Fasting will happen.
Consider gazing from the same place at the
same time daily. Following circadian patterns has its advantages. Adding sun
gazing to your daily routine will not disturb the flow of the daily routine. If
you pray, you can have any prayer of your choice. Any prayer. No particular one
is suggested. Prayer is not a requirement. As a precaution have your eyes
examined by your doctors. This is to be on the safer side form the scientific
viewpoint - so have periodic check ups. Also, you can buy photo sun-cards which
is priced at about $2/= to monitor UV or IR radiation (when cards are kept in
the sunlight). There is no need to buy an expensive 500$ photosensometer. If
your cheeks get heated up then stop gazing. Use common sense.
When you reach
three months you would have gazed at the sun 15 minutes at a stretch. When you
can watch TV for 3 hours, surely you can see the sun for that long? What is
happening as you go up to 15 minutes? The sun energy or the sunrays passing
through the human eye are charging the hypothalamus tract, which is the pathway
behind the retina leading to the human brain. As the brain receives the power
supply through this pathway it activates into a brainutor. One of the inherent
brain‚s software program has started running. We realize we are a
different person now. No mental tension or worries. We have the self-confidence
to face life problems. We no more think negatively only positive thoughts arise.
We are not fearful. We become fearless -our psychosis has disappeared -so has
all the ills of the mind. All this within 3 months. The first power has
awakened.
We human have good and bad qualities -they are 2 sides of the same
coin. In the absence of sunlight we develop bad qualities. When sunlight enters
the brain --good qualities come on the surface and replace bad ones as they
evaporate. Eventually even spiritual ignorance goes away. Sometimes more we hear
and read we get confused. We get contradictory information. Red wine is good for
you. Alcohol is bad for you. We are baffled with life‚s problems
and detest decision-making. But after 3 months of sun gazing we develop a sense
of confidence and know the answers for ourselves spiritually. There is a balance
of the mind; we are in a position to judge personal answers ˆthe
correct answers. We develop powers that are already inherent in us. Bad
qualities disappear, anger, greed, jealousy leave you. You become a lovable
creature. Everybody likes you. You will do no wrong. If you are positive or
fearless, you will not harm anybody nor pain anybody. You will become a
compassionate person. This is a great contribution to world peace. A positive
approach creates solutions to problems and waste in society. There will be no
need for environmental engineers. We won‚t throw waste as there is
no away. By 3.5 months everything changes.
Mental depression will go away.
Psychiatrists are observing that SAD is caused by lack of sunlight. With the
practice of sun gazing --not only in winter but you will not have depression in
your whole lifetime. We will achieve a perfect balance of mind. Fear of death
goes away. The state of mind is such that we will welcome death. What is to
happen let it happen. No worries. Everyone has some sort of mental disorder.
This is our biggest human crisis. Thinking. Sunlight definitely removes your
mental diseases.
Next, Physical diseases will start being cured. 70 to 80%
of the energy synthesized from food is taken by the brain and is used up in
fueling tensions and worries. With a lack of mental tension, brain does not
require the same amount of energy as before. As you proceed in sun gazing and as
your tensions decrease food intake goes down.
When you reach 30 minutes
duration of continuously looking at sun you will slowly be liberated from
physical diseases since by now all the colors of the sun reach the brain through
the eye. Brain regulates the flow of color prana appropriately to the respective
organs. All the internal organs get ample supply of the required color prana.
The vital organs are dependent on certain sun color prana. Kidney red, Heart
yellow, Liver green etc. Colors reach the organs and address any deficiencies.
This is how color therapies work --Reiki and Pranic Healing. There is a lot of
information available on color therapy. This is the process of getting liberated
from physical ailments over a six-month period. After 3-4 months you can become
cured of your physical ailments with auto-suggestion --imagining and visualizing
healing your ailments while sun gazing. Scientific methods such as the
Solariums, crystals, color bottles, natural stones, gems, all utilize sun
energy. Sun energy is stored in these natural stones. You can keep natural color
stones in drinking water to further hasten healing.
In solariums there is
usually a platform at height of 100 feet where 7 glass cabins each one for one
of the VIBGYOR color are constructed. This platform revolves around the sun
whole day and according to the nature of the disease diagnosed, the patient is
placed in the appropriate color for healing and cure. Similarly glass drinking
water bottles with different colors are kept in sun for 8 hours. The water gets
solarized and water develops medicinal value and is used to treat different
diseases.
Photosynthesis does not mean you need chlorophyll. This concept
also we very wrongly understand. Only the plant kingdom needs chlorophyll. Human
body can do it with a different medium. Photosynthesis is transforming the sun
energy into an usable energy form. This is how Photovoltaic cells work and
electricity is produced, similarly water is heated, food is cooked in solar
cooker, and solar batteries run automobiles.
Eyes receive the entire
spectrum of the sunlight. And Brain distributes it to the different parts of the
body on a need per basis. And one is cured of all diseases. A 3rd intermediate
medium is avoided. You are your own master within 6 months. As you continue
gazing the sun energy is no longer being utilized to attend to mental
impairments or physical ailments and hence its storage level increases in your
body. 7.5 months and 35 min of sun gazing this is when hunger starts going down
very palpably. Food intake decreases. No one needs to eat more than his or her
hunger levels. Hunger comes because of energy requirements, body requires energy
and energy is a must. But food is not a necessity for the body to function. Only
energy is. Conventionally we are indirectly getting sun energy while eating food
that which is a by-product of sun energy. No sunlight --no food will grow. What
we eat is 2ndary sun energy. In 6-months time we are staring to eat the original
form of micro food ˆOur Sun. Also, when we eat secondary energy we put
in a lot of toxic waste into the body. This can be totally avoided.
So
as we consume the Original form, the sun, hunger goes down. Then hunger starts
to disappear. By eight month you should see hunger almost gone. 9 months or 44
minutes for a dull or weak student or with no belief. Max. 9 months or 44
minutes. Your hunger disappears forever. All mechanisms associated with hunger
like aroma, cravings, and hunger pangs disappear. No appetite for food. Energy
levels are at a higher level. There is a judgment (having had this experience)
that the brain is well activated with the sun energy. We become a solar cooker.
We have to give up sun gazing now. Solar science prohibits further
gazing after 9 months or 44 minutes for the sake of eye care. The body will get
discharged when we stop sun gazing. So we have to recharge. The charge will last
for only 6 days. Now we have to start walking on bare foot on bare earth for 45
minutes daily. Relaxed walking only. No need to walk briskly, jog or run. Any
convenient time of the day preferably when the earth is warmer and sunlight is
falling on your body. When you walk bare foot an important gland in the
brain‚s center called the pineal gland or the third eye is
activated. The big toe of the foot represents this gland. 25 years ago it was
considered a useless gland. Now it has become an important gland for study and
about 18,000 papers have been published in the recent times. It has always been
known as the Seat of the soul. The Pineal gland has optic nerve endings. The
remaining four toes represent glands too -- pituitary, hypothalamus, thalamus
and amygdala. Amygdala for the last 2 years has been gaining importance in
medical research. It‚s a nucleus of the sun energy or cosmic
energy and plays the important part of photosynthesis via the sunlight reaching
the brain through the eye. When you walk bare foot, your body weight stimulates
all these 5 glands through your toes. This is strengthened by the earth
heat/energy and the sun prana falling on the head or the crown chakra. The
chakras are not in the spinal cord that is an imaginary location; they are
definitely in the brain. All these create a magnetic field and the body/brain
recharges with the energy of the sun entering in you. Relax. Walk 45 minutes for
one year and food continues to be without you. After one year of recharging, if
you are satisfied with your progress you can give up barefoot walking. Few
minutes of sun energy falling on you once in 3-4 days is enough.
But if
you want the immune system to be strengthened then keep on the bare foot
walking. Also if you want memory power or intelligence to increase please
continue the walking practice. As you increase the sun‚s heat on
your feet the brain will activate more and more. Pineal gland will become more
active. The Pineal gland has certain psychic and navigational functions.
Navigational means like the birds one can fly. We can develop psychic skills of
telepathy, televisioning, produce your body at different places simultaneously.
Science has validated human psychic functions and medical experiments are being
done to ascertain this. Different body parts and its organs get purified once
you stop eating due to detoxification. The different internal organs play
different mechanical parts for the purposes of space travel and flight. There is
another utility value (other than food digestion) for the internal organs. All
the glands have lot of functions and can perform at optimal level via sun
energy. If you are fortunate to activate the brain optimally you surely will
reach enlightenment. You can read past, present, and future. Sky is the limit at
the same time even limited success is possible. This method can be safely
applied to control obesity. Almost all problems get solved.
Lot of
people have remained without food historically. Accordingly in 1922 the Imperial
Medical College in London decreed that solar rays is the ideal food for humans.
But no one has mentioned what their technique is -- For e.g. Yogananda in his
book "Ãutobiography of A Yogi" interviewed many saints and mystics to find out
the secret of their lack of eating food The common reply was that the sun's
energy is entering through a secret door and reaching the medulla oblongata in
the brain. They did not divulge their secret. This knowledge was lost to common
folk.
An International team of 21 Doctors supervised HRM in Ahembadabad
for 411 days. He remained only on a diet of water. There were volunteers that
were on ˆround-the-clock supervision. Although sun energy is ample for HRM's
energy requirements he takes coffee, tea or buttermilk to satisfy his family and
doctors.
After the excitement of the findings at Ahmadabad HRM was
invited to Thomas Jefferson University and State Univ. of Penn in Philadelphia.
They wanted to observe and examine his retina, pineal gland and brain. Some of
the initial results are that the gray cells in HRM's brain are regenerating. 700
photographs have been taken. Neurons are reported to be active and not dying.
Pineal gland is not shrinking which is typically what happens after mid-fifties
and its max. average size is about 6 x 6 mm. But for HRM its been measured to be
at 8 x 11 mm.
Sun gazers are volunteering to be tested but due to
monetary crunch are not able to document the various physiological results. Sun
gazing is the only answer for arthritis, migraine and thrombosis. Thrombosis is
a common problem now a day because we sit on chairs and legs are always dangling
and hanging. Kneecap replacement has become fashionable. Even when it is not
required expensive invasive surgeries are performed due to medical malpractice
and greed. Let us not be dependent on an external sources. Let us become our own
masters. Let us do sun gazing.
You can break up the practice in three
phases. 0 to 3months, 3-6months and 6- 9months. You have to walk barefoot for 45
minutes for the rest of your life. Food makes us commit the maximum pain to
others and exploit others.
The uniqueness of HRM is that he has
surrendered his living body for observation and experiments to the scientific
firmament. Brain functions are complicated and one cannot explain why food is
not required. How sun gazing is doing wonders is not explained? Although
scientists are agreeing that hunger is definitely being eliminated. HRM
recommends these books for the curious: Light medicine of future by Jacob
Lieberman The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century by Richard
Hobday.
The cover pages of both these books ask one to get rid of sun --
glasses earlier the better. We are avoiding the beneficial effects of the solar
winds. Nobody is asking you to look at the sun during the day between ten and
three o'clock. Also do not use sunscreen. When body gets heated up you perspire
and sweat is a waste product and needs to go out of the body. When you are
painted or coated with lotions and creams -- they get degenerated and the
chemicals enter your body. It is our malpractice -our wrong use- why blame the
sun for the skin cancers. Sun bathing during the day is to be avoided.
There is a practice in getting energy on a temporary basis in the
Americas. To get energy for their body natives take sunbath by standing in the
sun for two hours exposing max. parts of their body and they don't need to eat
food on those days. They sustain on the micro-food of sunlight. When clouds
gather, we become gloomy. We see the sun, and get energetic.
In this
world there are no miracles -- everything is a science. There is an explanation
for everything. Everything is possible. The possibilities are unlimited, as is
the human imagination. Make use of the sun energy in a safer way and not for
harmful purposes.
HRM's request is that to please use this practice for
personal welfare/development and for humanity.
Best wishes from HRM.
Sun worship
By Nina Benjamin
"SURYA Yoga is
above religion. Many Christians and Muslims are practising it," says Acharya
Jowell K Gopinath, popularly known as Surya Swami, a spiritual leader who
teaches the technique of tapping the radiant energy of the Sun. Surya Yoga is
said to revitalise energy and negate illnesses of the mind and body.
That
sunlight has great therapeutic value is accepted the world over. The importance
of Sun was realised very early by the ancient civilisations. It was given the
status of a god and worshipped from time immemorial. Today, the worship of Sun
has been redefined with a new spiritual system developed by Surya Swami.
Hailing from the picturesque Idukki district of Kerala, Jowell Gopinath
dropped out of college in 1989, after which he set out in search of truth. "I
used to constantly gaze at the sun, and wondered how it kept burning bright day
in and day out and what would happen to life if it were to suddenly disappear
one day," he says.
After years of wandering in the Himalayas and meeting
innumerable enlightened souls, Gopinath took up the mission to educate the
masses about the importance of the Sun as an instrument of God-realisation.
Surya Yoga, according to him, is done in nine steps, and when perfected can
activate the body chakras or power points, opening up the path to
self-realisation.
"The photons from the sun can help smoothen and enlighten
the body, prana, mind and soul to come together in a straight line. The
omnipotent Surya's presence can change, arrange, reduce, remove imbalances and
organise the chemical, bio-chemical, bio-electrical and bio-magnetic powers in
living beings," claims the Swami.
Surya yoga is a blend of yoga, nada
(sound), rishi gyan and Buddha stage (silence). It is an advanced form of yoga
that helps an individual merge with nature. The best time to practice Surya yoga
is at sunrise or sunset when the harmful ultra-violet rays are not present. Ten
minutes of daily sun-gazing is sufficient for a beginner.
The followers of
Surya yoga do not believe in ceremonies and rituals. The Swami says, "The
reality is within ourselves, the inner struggle as it is called. To meditate you
need a powerful technique. We cannot imagine a life without Surya. The sun
controls the day, the night and the seasons and the earth revolves around the
sun. Only the sun can germinate the seed inside you. And this is most natural.
People are moving away from nature. Here we are calling, come to nature."
According to Acharya Gopinath there is no need to believe in human Gods. "A
spiritual aspirant does not need a guru. I have never had a guru. My only guru
is Mother Nature. The sun is my guide and my source of energy. It is a tax-free
source of knowledge, and we needn't look to any other source for guidance." He
claims that through Surya Yoga "it is even possible to resolve the problem of
terrorism as it brings clarity to mind." He considers Surya Yoga as nothing but
the worship of Nature.

As for cloudy weather, I have lived on the foggy
coast of northern California for many years, and actually find the fog a useful
'attenuator', although I must confess that our recent 'perfect' sunny weather
over the last four months has been just a heavenly time. Sungazing during thin
overcast or occasional clouds can be just as productive, in my opinion. And
winter sun in these climes has a very special quality, sort of like a rare
vintage of champagne.
Also, I think it's important to develop a childlike
relationship to the Solar Being, who as the creator of all life and source of
all goodness appreciates some sort of occasional recognition from her children
(I sometimes approach the Sun as Mother Sun in the same way as the Japanese).
Imagine these strange humans who have 'abstracted' an invisible god to worship
(somehow I find an invisible god a good source of paranoia -- 'Is He watching
me? Oh dear!!!' and just ignore the reality, which is that 'the Solar Christ

From: VP Subject: Re: what you see; Also Advanced
Methods
I am sure that other folks on this list will have other information
to offer, but, yes, such visual phenomena are very common for almost everyone in
the early days of sungazing. Eventually, all the pheonmena such as this, as well
as all the temporary visual after-effects, will largely disappear over time, and
there will come a day when you look at the sun and experience little in the way
of visual phenomena at the time or immediately afterward. My sense is that this
evolution has largely to do with increased "opening" of various pathways in the
body for both the light from the sun and various "energies" and "frequencies"
from the earth which arise through the contact of the feet with the ground, as
well as vastly improved utilization or "absorption" of such energies/frequencies
by the body.
Some Slightly Advanced Methods In my early days of gazing, one
trick which often worked to drastically reduce such phenomena or related
temporary visual after-effects was to make sure that my feet were firmly on the
ground, that my neck and back were erect and aligned (e.g., no slumping
shoulders or upper back), or even to very briefly visualize a vertical channel
or "pipe" in the vicinity of the spine, in the region of what some acupuncture
systems refer to as Governing channel, and some Yogic systems call the Central
Channel. It is important not to try to prolong or force the visualization or to
become preoccupied with it, but to do it briefly only. Another "trick" was to
"inhale" any residual light image in my eyes to the solar plexus and heart
center for a few seconds or a minute after sungazing, or even occasionally
during sungazing.
More Advanced Techniques Another shortcut to which I was
guided in 1989 after a period of many days of intensive sungazing (often long
sessions at high noon; this is definitely not recomnded!) was to place the tip
of my tongue on any or several acupuncture points -- also well known in Taoism
and Qi Gong (aka Chi Kung) on the center line of the roof of my mouth, along the
soft palate. The most common, and often most effective such point, is in the
center of the soft palate or soft roof of the mouth, and often called "Heavenly
Pool" in various Chinese Qi Gong systems and in some systems of acupuncture.
However, there is at least one point behind that, and at least two in front of
it, the frontmost being the rear of the ridge behind the hard palate (ridge)
behind the front upper teeth. Somehow, as I was guided, it seems that rolling
the tongue gently up to contact one of those points, usually Heavenly Pool,
seems to increase the efficacy of sungazing at times and to help to open and
facilitate the pathway of the light to the rest of the body, especially the
lower endocrine glands, and the Heart and the Hara.
However, I am not
advocating keeping the tongue on Heavenly Pool at all times during sungazing.
Rather, I have found that what works best, after initially trying this technique
and getting used to it, is to do so only when prompted by your intuition. I
would say that I place my tongue on Heavenly Pool only for about one-third of
the time in which I sungaze, and sometimes for a few minutes thereafter. It
appears that there is some indication, by the way, in ancient literature on
sungazing from a number of cultures, that this practice can increase the
efficacy of sungazing and act as a bit of a shortcut, if done regularly. I
personally am not sure of that, and do not really care, as I am no rush for
anything! I simply do it when prompted by my body or by intuition. It can
definitely help... any more than that I cannot say....
By the way, this
technique mentioned above is a useful one to try at times even during the
periods when you are not sungazing. During a period in my life of heavy
sungazing in the late 1980s, I would often use this tongue-on-roof-of-mouth
method while walking to my morning classes at graduate school, and with some
benefit. Now for a stranger note: Due to the presence on the web of my sungazing
web page, I did receive a rather stern (and odd) e-mail from a relatively
anonymous corespondent in late 2000, warning me that the tongue must be place on
Heavenly Pool (no, he or she did not call it by that name) at all times during
sungazing or else (so she or he claimed) the sungazer could and would go blind
or suffer other injury. I wrote back to the rather anonymous author, asking him
or her to please identify themselves and their "credentials" (e.g., background,
experience, training ) more fully, and, as is so common on the web, I never
received a sane reply from the person.
An Interesting Note I once met
someone who felt that they had suffered some minor damage (eyes, brain, body)
from sungazing years earlier; he had long since stopped sungazing, and had no
interest in re-starting. I shared the method above (along with the importance of
standing with bare feet on the ground at times to increase Earth contact) with
this person, and after using it for about 1/2 hour per day (no, not while
sungazing...) for a few weeks, and some barefoot standing (again,not while
sungazing) he reported that a lot of the previously "'stuck energy" which had
been present since his sunazng had now shifted, to his great relief....
Related Advanced Methods There are actually one or two related methods which
may also somewhat improve the efficacy of, and evolution through, sungazing, but
these other methods are far more extreme and even painful (they come from
ancient Yoga practices), and even contortionist, and likely fit only for a
highly dedicated Yogi who is willing to go to extremes. Much as noted above,
these methods do not interest me at all, since I am in no rush for anything!
However, I may briefly write about such extreme methods here -- with appropriate
warnings -- at some point, and I am well aware that Hira Manek (HRM) is also
aware of them, and he may choose to share them on the list, with appropriate
warnings, before I get around to it...
One More Related Note One additional
thing which may or may not matter: For the times when I feel an urge to sungaze
nowadays, I have been repeatedly guided (again, on an inner level...) to almost
never sunbathe while lying on my back or on my belly, but only while standing
up, preferably barefoot, with feet on the ground.
And, on a vaguely related
topic, I received in 2002 an e-mail from a woman who had found my sungazing
webpage, and in her letter she disclosed some interesting information. Here is a
copy of her letter, in case it may be of help to anyone: . . . . . To a Fellow
Sun Gazer,
I have been Sun Gazing for twenty years. A native American shaman
medicine man taught me the practice which he said was taught to him by the Maiku
(a secret society of indigenous medicine men/monks/priests.)
This literature
for Sun Gazing was very involved and related to developing the Light Body or
Chakra System of our being. It explained the male/female energies of looking at
the sun at sunrise and sunset. They definitely warned against looking at the sun
at high Noon as the sun was in a neutral position (neither giving forth yin/yang
energies.)
I am the only person, except for this shaman who is now dead,
whom I know does this practice. I did stop for several years once and I
accelerated in the aging process. They also cautioned that once you start this
practice that you should never stop. I can testify to this. (signature)

Swamiji's journey through
India did not start until 1997. For two years prior to his journey Swamiji
stayed in Aurobindo assram in Pondicherry practicing Yoga and making many
important discoveries. The most important of his discoveries was 'Sunyoga'. Very
little is known about Sunyoga; it is briefly mentioned in some of the ancient
Indian scriptures, but at the time of Swamiji's discovery, nobody else was known
to be practicing it in the modern world. Now, five years later, there are an
estimated 10,000 people throughout India practicing Sunyoga, taught by Swamiji
on his travels.
Pondicherry is on the coast of south east India, looking
over the Bay of Bengal. During his time at the ashram, Swamiji spent every
morning meditating on a rock looking out at the sun's reflection off the sea.
His daily meditation upon the reflected sunlight gave him great pleasure, but at
this time he did not consider it to be a form of Yoga. As he continued though,
Swamiji became aware that, through this method of meditation, he was somehow
able to absorb powerful energies from the sun's rays. Swamiji began to
experiment by looking directly at the sun - initially as it was rising, then day
by day he began to concentrate on it as it rose higher into the sky. He
continued his meditation and after a couple of months the sun started to appear
as a "clear hazy ring with soft blue sky inside". The harsh brightness
disappeared and he felt it become increasingly soothing. As time went on, he
started to see "seven bright colours radiating from the sun, slowly reaching
closer to the ground". Three months after starting his concentration on the sun,
Swamiji felt these rays - the sun's cosmic energy - touch his body, creating
within him an undescribable feeling of peace and calm.
Shortly after this
experience, Swamiji returned to the ashram to eat his usual food, but he found
that he was unable to digest his simple plate of chapatis. His body rejected the
food, yet he felt that he was fully nourished. During his three month period of
concentrating on the sun, Swamiji had developed a great interest in the way that
trees and plants are able to receive energy directly from sunlight. His
discoveries now made him believe that he had found a way of absorbing the sun's
energy directly into his body, charging his body's cells with kinetic energy and
therefore removing the need to eat food. So, as an experiment, Swamiji stopped
eating breakfast and continued concentrating on the sun. Six months later, he
stopped eating his dinner, then six months after that, he stopped eating food at
all. From the 17th August until the 7th December 1996, Swamiji stopped eating
and sleeping altogether. His body weight remained the same and he continued his
daily routine working in the assram in a perfect state of health. Shortly after
this period of his life, he began his journey through India teaching his
discoveries to people he met along the way. During his travels, he has become a
source of great interest to a number of scientific and medical research centres
where he had his claims tested, examined and verified - at least up to the level
of sophistication that modern scientific instruments are capable of reaching.
I have met Swamiji 31,000 km after he started walking barefoot through
India. I have now witnessed him living with no food, water or sleep, spending
part of each day staring at the sun as if it was as soft as the moon. On a
number of occasions I have watched him enter Samadhi (the ultimate state of joy
attained through Yoga) during meditation, and I have felt him stop his pulse
through sheer concentration. He does not seem to feel the cold - he sometimes
sits barechested at night when I am feeling cold wearing thick woolly clothes
and wrapped in a blanket. His personality is patient, gentle and calm and his
attitude towards others is like that of a close friend or a brother. He is
always true to his philosophies and all his claims - I believe - are 100% true.
The purpose of this website is not to encourage readers to go outside and
stare directly at the sun, because without proper guidance this could be very
harmful. What I have written is an overview of my discussions with Swamiji - it
is simply intended to create an interest in the subject, and those who wish to
pursue it further can find out more at the International Spiritual Conference in
Calcutta.

Light
therapy can:
1. Increase vascularity (circulation) by increasing the
formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace
damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more
oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more
waste products away.
2. Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is
the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein
used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance
that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing
collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.
3.
Stimulate the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the major carrier
of energy to all cells. Increases in ATP allow cells to accept nutrients faster
and get rid of waste products faster by increasing the energy level in the cell.
All food turns into ATP before it is utilized by the cells. ATP provides the
chemical energy that drives the chemical reaction of the cell.
4. Increase
lymphatic system activity. Edema, which is the swelling or natural splinting
process of the body, has two basic components. The first is a liquid part which
can be evacuated by the blood system and the second is comprised of the proteins
which have to be evacuated by the lymphatic system. Research has shown that the
lymph vessel diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be doubled with the
use of light therapy. The venous diameter and the arterial diameters can also be
increased. This means that both parts of edema (liquid and protein) can be
evacuated at a much faster rate to relieve swelling
5. Increase RNA and DNA
synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.
6. Reduce
the excitability of nervous tissue. The photons of light energy enter the body
as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ions like calcium
among others to go to the area being treated. These ions assist in firing the
nerves thereby relieving pain.
7. Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids
in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are
capable of forming collagen fibers.
8. Increase phagocytosis, which is the
process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte
cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection
fighting process. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before
the healing process can take place.
9. Induce a thermal like effect in the
tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is no heat
produced from the diodes themselves. (The BioPack cluster will be warm to the
touch because of the electronics needed to power the 30 diodes.)
10.
Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which are part
of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.
11. Stimulate
acetylcholine release. Acetylcholine causes cardiac inhibition, vasodilation,
gastrointestinal peristalsis and other parasympathetic effects.

Eating the wild electron November 2002 "Light"
Light is the basic
component from which all life originates, evolves, and is energized. Light and
health are inseparable. Because we have managed to disconnect ourselves from the
sources of light with our fluorescent lights, indoor lifestyles, glasses,
contact lenses, sunglasses, tanning lotions, flesh foods, processed foods and
even cooked vegetarian diets, many of us suffer from chronic "mal-illumination."
Like malnutrition, "mal-illumination" deprives us of a level of nutrients and
rhythmic stimulation that is essential for living as fully healthy humans.
Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Szent-Gyorgi describes the essential life process
as a little electrical current sent to us by the sunshine. Without light there
is no health. This statement is a key in understanding the importance of
vegetarian live foods and of other ways of bringing light into our organism. We
are human photocells whose ultimate biological nutrient is sunlight.
Dr.
Szent-Giorgi, when referring to the current of sunshine sent from the sun, is
referring to highly charged single electrons that are involved in transferring
their energy to our own submolecular patterns without changing our molecular
structure. The quantum physics model begins to validate our more intuitive model
of vegetarian food as condensed sunlight which then is transferred to our human
organism when we eat it. When the energy of the earth's vegetation is
transferred to us indirectly through flesh food, much of the bio-electric
resonant energy patterns are destroyed. The sunlight energy is also lost if the
bio-electric energy patterns of vegetarian foods are disrupted by cooking or
processing.
The exciting breakthrough for me is the conceptual synthesis of
how our food brings the photon energy of sunlight into our body and how our
bodies utilize this energy. I alluded to these concepts when I discussed the
research by Dr. Hans Eppinger who found that all cells were essentially
batteries which appeared to be charged up when people were healthy. When people
were sick, he found their cells to be in a discharged state and poorly
functioning.The significant finding is that only uncooked foods were able to
increase the cell battery potential.
The next step is understanding cellular
metabolism as a battery. The positive pole is energetically fed by oxygen. The
negative pole is fed by the high electron photon energy collected from the sun
and stored in our vegetarian live food. This high electron food releases its
electron energy across the cytochrome oxidase system. The cytochrome oxidase
system acts as a step down transformer to turn the electron energy into ATP. ATP
is the basic energy storage molecule of biological systems. The biochemical
releases of energy from ATP are the fuel for all energy requiring processes at
the molecular level in our biological systems.
The electrons are essentially
drawn across the cytochrome oxidase system by the oxygen at the positive pole of
the intracellular battery. The more oxygen in the system, the stronger the pull.
Breathing exercises, eating high-oxygen foods, and living in atmospherically
clean, high-oxygen environments increases our overall oxygen content. The key
understanding is that the cytochrome oxidase system exists in every cell and
requires electron energy to function. This electron energy comes from plant
foods as well as what we directly absorb. When the food is cooked the basic
harmonic resonance pattern of the living electron energy of the live food is at
least partially destroyed. Once understanding this scientific evidence, the
logical step is to eat high-electron foods such as fruits, vegetables, raw nuts
and seeds, and sprouted or soaked grains.
Dr. Johanna Budwig from Germany
holds degrees in physics, pharmacy, biochemistry, and medicine and is one of the
first researchers to combine an in-depth knowledge of quantum mechanics and
physics with an in-depth knowledge of human biochemistry and physiology. She has
concluded that not only do electron-rich live foods act as high-powered electron
donors, but electron-rich foods act as solar resonance fields in the body to
attract, store, and conduct the sun's energy in our bodies. She asserts that the
photons of the sunlight are attracted by the sun-like electrons resonating in
our biological systems, especially in the double bonded electron clouds found in
our lipids. These sun-like electrons are termed pi-electrons. This pi-electron
system within our molecular structure has the ability to attract and activate
the sun photons. She feels the energy we derive from these solar photons acts as
an "anti-entropy factor." Translated into biological terms, entropy means aging.
Anti-entropy is associated with the reversal of the aging process. From a
quantum physics point of view, photons never become old; they have the same
quickness as time. Sun photons transfer a high degree of order (anti-entropy
energy) into the pi-electrons of our biological system. The more light we absorb
into our system, the more health-restoring and anti-aging energy we bring into
our human organism.
Therefore, people who eat refined, cooked, highly
processed foods diminish the amount of solar electrons energizing the system and
the amount of high solar electrons to create a high electron solar resonance
field. According to Dr. Budwig, processed foods may even act as insulators to
the healthy flow of electricity. The more we are able to absorb solar electrons,
the better we are able to resonate, attract and absorb solar electrons in direct
resonance from the sun, other solar systems, and even other galaxies. On a
skin-deep level, the more we are able to absorb solar electrons the less sunburn
and theoretically, the less skin cancer there will be.
Perhaps the two
highest solar electron-rich foods and foods which have the capacity to absorb
solar electrons are spirulina and flaxseed in various forms, including flaxseed
oil. Dr. Budwig has reported cases of general ill health, and of even cancer,
which have been reversed through the use of large amounts of flaxseed oil which
has increased the amount of electron energy into the system and therefore
created enough energy available to heal the system.
Because spirulina grows
at high altitudes in high-temperature environments, it has increased
beta-carotene, other carotenoids, enzyme systems, and other biological
components to better absorb the intensified solar and cosmic radiations. I
discovered that by ingesting spirulina and rubbing the product called Phycotene
Cream (developed by Dr. Christopher Hills at Light Force) on myself, other
members of our staff, and volunteers, we did not seem to get sunburned working
long hours in the sun-filled skies of our mountain mesa at our Tree of Life
Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona.
Other research has shown that
spirulina and Phycotene Creme have been successful in reversing squamous cell
skin carcinoma and dissolving pre-cancer squamous cell carcinoma. Other research
has found that three-fourths of the people who were hypersensitive to sunlight
(suffering from erythropoetic protoporphinaria) were able to increase their
exposure time in the sun. Three-fourths of those who improved their tolerance
were able to be exposed to sunlight four times longer. For those of us who
understand that we are human photocells who often suffer from mal-illumination,
this is an extremely exciting finding.
Dr. Budwig also found that when the
flaxseed oil is combined with highly charged protein, the three double bonded
electron clouds available in the raw flaxseed oil and the protein, make a
bi-polar capacitor grid which even better absorbs, stores, and transmits the
exchange of solar electrons and enhances the solar resonance. She often uses a
type of cottage cheese as a high-protein food to combine with the flaxseed oil.
As a nondairy vegetarian, I find that bee pollen and spirulina are perfect
high-protein concentrated foods to combine with flaxseed oil.
The
discoveries of modern physics and quantum biology, according to Dr. Budwig,
suggest there is no other living thing in nature that has a higher accumulation
of the sun's electrons than human beings. Humans seem especially aligned with
the sun's light. By the same solar electron resonance, our connection to the
stars is enhanced by our ability to take in the gift of their light energy and
process it biochemically. Light is our umbilical link to the universe.
Our
ability to enrich ourselves with solar cosmic energy depends on eating foods
with a high solar electron content that resonates with and attracts solar and
cosmic rays. Our health and consciousness depends on our ability to attract,
store, and conduct electron energy which is essential for the energizing and
regulation of all life forces. The greater our store of light energy, the
greater the power of our overall electromagnetic field, and consequently the
more energy is available for healing and the maintenance of optimal health.
A strong solar resonance field promotes the evolution of humanity to reach
our full potential as human "sun beings." Light supports evolution and a lack of
photons in our bodies hinders it. Light and consciousness are interconnected. As
far back as the turn of the century, Rudolph Steiner, the founder of the Waldorf
schools, Anthroposophical Medicine, and biodynamic gardening taught that the
release of the outer light into our systems stimulates the release of an equal
amount of inner light within ourselves. The more we increase our ability to
absorb and assimilate light, the more conscious we become. The more we transform
ourselves by enhancing our absorption of light, the more we become that light.
This is the subtle secret of `conscious eating.'

Getting Naked with the Self!
A few edited quotes from Self-Liberation Through Seeing With Naked Awareness
The Tibetan text translated here is a very important work for the
understanding of the view of Dzogchen, which in Tibet is generally regarded as
the highest and the most esoteric teaching of the Buddha. For the full text,
browse: http://hjem.get2net.dk/civet-cat/mahayana-writings/naked-awareness.htm
I have added the item in [square brackets] with an additional comments.
Verse 10 It is certain that the nature of the mind is empty and without any
foundation whatsoever.Your own mind is insubstantial like the empty sky.
You
should [turn your awareness around 180 degrees* and] look at your own mind to
see whether it is like that or not.
It is certain that self-originated
primal awareness has been clear (and luminous) from the very beginning, like the
heart of the sun, which is itself self-originated.
You should [turn your
awareness around 180 degrees* and] look at your own mind to see whether it is
like that or not.
It is certain that this primal awareness, which is one's
intrinsic awareness, is unceasing, like the main channel of a river that flows
unceasingly.
You should [turn your awareness around 180 degrees* and] look
at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not.
It is certain that
the diversity of movements (arising in the mind) are not understandable by
memories, but are like insubstantial breezes that move through the atmosphere.
You should [turn your awareness around 180 degrees* and] look at your own
mind to see whether it is like that or not.
It is certain that whatever
appearances occur, all of them are self-manifested, like the images in a mirror
being self-manifestations that simply appear.
You should [turn your
awareness around 180 degrees* and] look at your own mind to see whether it is
like that or not.
It is certain that all of the diverse characteristics of
things are liberated into their own condition, like clouds in the atmosphere
that are self-originated and self-liberated.
You should [turn your awareness
around 180 degrees* and] look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or
not.
* Turning one's awareness around and gazing nakedly (i.e. without
attaching or non-attaching to thoughts) upon That Which is Aware creates the
experience that could be called "Blue Sky Naked Awareness," in which thoughts
that arise are just like occasional clouds floating past. I can access this
'awareness turning around' state by pretending to turn my eyes around (eyes
closed) and looking into my head. Of course this is not possible physically, but
my eyes roll gently upwards in the process of 'looking,' and then I find the
'looked' looking at the 'looker,' so to speak. Some also call it the state of
One Taste. It's hard to describe verbally, but you'll know when you find it
because you'll want to stay there. For myself, I find a basic sensation attached
to this state that is a feeling of energy right in the center of my head. If I
was to locate it in a cross-sectional diagram of the brain, it would be in the
spinal-fluid-filled cavity known as the Third Ventricle, at the back end of
which exists the pineal gland. For those interested, I've posted a
cross-sectional drawing at: http://www.raysender.com/diagram3.html Of course the
true yoga is to keep this state going effortlessly while performing all the
mundane tasks of one's daily life - i.e. the classic 'chopping wood, carrying
water' that is often cited. Compassion and kindness towards oneself and all
beings help this along. At some point, all 'supports' should be able to be put
away, and this is where True Freedom from all Opposites begins - again, all this
is merely my opinion!

November 9, 2003 Hallo, fellow
sun-beamers:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (from where?)
SUN BREATHING EXERCISE From the Web of
Love website that includes other spiritual connect-ups from these good folks
Look at the sun in a safe way, the ancients preferred to do this exercise at
sunrise.
'Take a long and slow breath of the power of the sun. Imagine, as
lively as possible, that you are now connecting yourself with the sublime soul
of the sun.'
'Pull the sublime soul of the sun down into you and inside of
you.'
' Try to get a a very real image of this idea, as something that you
can even touch.'
'Experience it as a fact that you become the power of sun
yourself.'
'The soul of the sun streams through your breathing organs into
your solar center, the solar plexus; you make it glow, and from here it spreads
into your whole body.'
'You must feel this in the tips of your fingers, each
cell must participate in this procedure.'
'You experience a peculiar,
elevating sensation. It is like electricity that awakes in you: yes, but it is
even more than that.'
'There are spiritual powers developing inside you in
the course of this exercise. You must learn to grasp all this from within.'
'Then the boundaries of your nature will be enlarged and yo will finally
feel the heavenly sun beating and pulsating inside you.'
'This exercise is
best done at sunrise.'
'If the sun of life is never to set, then you must
ignite it within yourself.'
This is more than a symbol; it is reality.'
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Like a sunflower that
turns to the sun for its light, I turn to the Father of Light in my heart. Fill
my mind, my body, and my world with your brilliant and perfect light now.
(Pause a few moments and let yourself feel the surge of light-energy in your
cells and on the surface of your skin.)
I am filled with infinite pure light
from head to toe, and it feels warm and wonderful! All my cells are tingling
with light-energy, and it's vibrating on the surface of my skin. It has filled
every corner of my mind and drives out all negative thoughts. My imagination
sees it shimmering all around me. Divine light sparkles in my eyes and shines
from my smile. It radiates from my heart, my hands and my feet. It shines truth,
gladness, and freedom on all my brothers and sisters, and on all of nature. My
body and mind are healed. Serenity, certainty and confidence flood my whole
being. My heart-light makes me strong and fearless in this world of shadows. I
have come back home and I will never leave again. And so it is.
Some ideas
for the Sunflower Prayer
_ Sit in a comfortable chair, or say it standing
(feet slightly apart, arms straight out or slightly raised-like the drawing
"Vitruvian" by Leonardo da Vinci), looking at the sunrise or early morning sun.
_ Take a few deep breaths to relax before saying it.
_ Practice feeling
it. Try an "energy push": put your hands as high as the top of your head and
then bring them down together as if you were pushing the light-energy from over
the top of your head down your body to your toes. And just be still and feel it
tingling in your cells and in your aura.
_ Go into meditation, into The
Silence, for a while after it. Focus on positive affirmations, and when
distracting thoughts come up gently push them out of your mind. Or repeat a
sacred mantra, being careful to pay attention to the empty spaces in between
repetitions (the mantra is a holy tool, the emptiness is divine). Even better,
just empty your mind of all thoughts and images. If you can't get rid of
distractions, just relax as much as possible, let them be, and calmly watch
them.
_ When you speak an affirmation know that your word is powerful. Speak
it in the present tense, for you are creating it in spirit right now, not in the
future. You are creating new and positive experiences for yourself, just like
God is said to create in the Bible just by speaking His word. Know that your
words are true-because God has given you this power to create like Him-and allow
yourself to accept what you are saying. Trust the process, trust yourself, trust
your words, trust the light. Relax into the truth you are creating. "Let It do
it."
_ Some ideas for affirmations: "My light is all I need." "The great
heart-light is healing, protecting and prospering me now." "I and the Father are
one." "You are here with me, my success is assured." "I will take care of you"
(here you are being the voice for God). "I love you" (who is saying it to whom,
are you speaking to God, or is God speaking to you through you?-it's both at
once). Etc.
_ Feel free to rewrite the prayer to suit yourself.
_ Share
it with others who might be ready to appreciate it.

> Is there such a celestial heirarchy?
Read
Rodney Collins' "Theory of Celestial Influence" that I mentioned in a previous
posting. Chapters Three, Four and Five, are on line under the subtitle "A
convincing description the Solar System as a living being". Collins is very
sound, and derives from the Ouspensky-Gurdjieff schools:
http://www.sumeria.net/cosmo/chapiii.html
>Will you please point me
in the direction of more information on the Solar >Logos? I am familiar with
the Ra material and >the writings of Alice A. Bailey, are there any other
sources ...
As for the Solar Logos, as you know Alice Bailey uses the term
constantly. A Google on it brings up a large number of Bailey pages that for
some reason won't open for me. But this other one is interesting:
http://www.innerlab.com/atmanet/index.cfm?artID=664#LogSolar
"Solar
Logos" also brings up an interesting article on the solar symbolism found in
crop circle designs, and brings up the question as to whether cross-dimensional
beings are communicating with us via these remarkable diagrams. Do page down to
the Avebury Trusloe Crop Circle Formation - Wiltshire, UK, and the following
one: Woodborough Hill Crop Circle Formation Wiltshire, UK
http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/dexsol_article.htm
The Google also brings
up what I consider a large number of ego-driven institutions of off-the-track
folks, so do take some of these 'solar logos' sites with a pinch of sanity.
Whenever I read of 'spiritual hierarchies' and 'necessary initiations' to access
'the secret teachings' that are not for the rank-and-file, I become very
irritated by all this 'ranking' and 'holier than who' and patriarchal secrecy
nonsense. This is all very worn out, in my opinion. Also my nose wrinkles when I
smell rank pseudo-sanctity or read of 'the spiritual sun behind the sun' or "the
central sun" and "channelings' from the realms of higher dimensional agencies.
All I see again is the all-too-human desire to abstract and complicate the truth
away from what literally 'stares us all in the face,' and instead weave various
tall tales and intricate mythologies.
I have the same trouble with Alice
Bailey's books, frankly, although I think they are more serious than many others
of their ilk and one can learn something from them through pick and choose.
Basically my problem is this: "I want to see some definite signs of substantive
progress towards union with the our sun AS THE SO-CALLED PHYSICAL SUN in anyone
professing to be achieving these higher states. Our dear teacher Sri HRM indeed
offers us many proven signs of his progress as well as an easy-to-follow regime
without any mumbo-jumbo. For this reason Sri HRM has my complete respect and
acknowledgment as an evolved solar being.
Otherwise I tend to view all the
'beyond the physical sun' and the 'logos of the galaxy' as just so much
poppycock. We are tiny tiny cells within our Solar Body, and to achieve even
some sort of solar imprinting of THAT is an enormous evolutionary leap. To
pretend to be able to do an end run around this necessary awareness towards
something stationed thousands if not millions of light years away (when people
begin to talk about the higher logos in Sirius, etc.) I just become very
impatient, and start emitting loud "HARRUMPHS!"
In the words of Ecclesiastes
XII in the Old Testament, "Of the making of books there is no end, and much
study is a weariness of the flesh."
Better just to access directly the
nearby Source, in my opinion, although a peek around the Internet is always
educational (smile) at least to discover the amazing folly of or co-inhabitants.
