Chapter 16 Chapter 15 Meditation Techniques of Using Light in Tantra

Bombay, India, 31 March 1973 Scripture: Think of your essence as light, from one center to the next, coming up the spine, thus rising "alive" within you Or in space, feel this as lightning. Feel the universe as a translucent, ever-living Being. Man can be considered in three ways—normal, abnormal, or supernormal, three ways.Western psychology is basically concerned about the abnormal and pathological, those who have fallen from the normal level, and those who have fallen from the normal pattern, while the Eastern psychology, the frank Tradition and yoga look at people from a supernormal point of view, with concern for those who are outside the normal pattern.Both are abnormal.A sick person is abnormal because he is unhealthy, and a supernormal person is abnormal because he is healthier than any normal person, the difference being negative or positive.

Western psychology developed as part of psychotherapy.Freud, Jung, Adler and other psychologists, they were treating abnormal people, treating mentally ill people, so the whole Western attitude towards people became wrong.Freud was studying pathological cases, of course healthy people don't go to him, only those who are mentally ill go to him, he studies them, and because of those studies he thinks he understands people.Sick people are not real people, they are sick, and anything based on the study of them must be deeply wrong and harmful.It turns out to be harmful because the person is viewed from a pathological point of view.If the mind chooses a particular state, and that state is diseased, pathological, then the whole view of man becomes disease-based, and because of this attitude, the whole of Western society falls, because there are The sick person becomes the basis, and the abnormal person becomes the basis.

And if you only study those abnormal people, you can't imagine any possibility of supernormal people. For Freud, "Buddha" is impossible and unimaginable.He must be fictional, mythical.Buddha can't be a real being, Freud only came into contact with sick people, who weren't even up to "normal" levels, and anything he said about normal people was based on abnormal people It is like a doctor doing research, no healthy person will go to him, healthy people do not need to go to him, only unhealthy people will go to him.By studying so many unhealthy people, he created in his mind a picture of a "person", but that picture cannot be of a person, it cannot be, because a person is not just a disease.If you base your whole idea of ​​man on the basis of disease, the whole society will suffer.

Eastern psychology, especially Tantra and Yoga, also has a concept of people, but that concept is based on the study of supernormal people, such as Buddha, Patanjali, Shankara, Nakajuna, Kabir , Nanak, etc., these people have reached the highest peak of human potential and possibility.The lowest is not considered, only the highest is considered, and if you consider the highest, your mind is opened and you can grow, because then you know that higher attainments are possible, if you consider The lowest, then there is no growth, because there is no challenge, if you are normal, you feel happy, you think it is enough to not be abnormal, you think it is enough not to be in a mental hospital, you can feel good, but No challenge.

If you seek the supernormal, the highest possibility that you can become, if someone has become that possibility, if that possibility becomes a reality in someone, then the possibility of growth opens up and you can To grow, there is a challenge that will come to you, you don't need to be content with yourself, higher attainments are possible, and they are calling to you, this has to be understood, only then can Tantra be conceived psychology.No matter what you are now, you are not the end result, you are just in the middle, you can go down, you can go up, your growth is not over, you are not the end product, you are just a channel, a kind of Stuff is constantly growing within you.

Tantra is conceived of this possibility of growth, and Tantra uses this possibility of growth as the basis of its entire technique.Remember: you will not be satisfied until you become what you can become, you must become what you can, it must!Otherwise you will feel frustrated, you will feel meaningless, you will feel that life has no purpose, you can go on living, but there will be no joy in life, you may be successful in many other things, but you You will fail yourself, it happens all the time.Someone becomes very rich, everyone thinks now he has succeeded, everyone but himself thinks he has succeeded, but he knows he has failed, the wealth is there, but he has failed.Be a great man, a politician, everyone thinks they are successful, but they fail, the world is weird, you are successful in everyone's eyes except your own.

People come to me every day and they say they have it all, but then what?They are losers, but where are they failing?Outwardly, they have not failed, so why do they feel this failure?Their inner potential is still going strong, they haven't blossomed yet, they haven't achieved what Maslow called "self-actualization", they're losers, losers within, and ultimately, none of what anyone else says Meaning, what you feel has meaning.If you feel you are a failure, others may think you are a Napoleon, or an Alexander, but that makes no difference, on the contrary, it makes you more depressed.Everyone thinks you are successful, so you cannot say you are not, but you know you are not, you cannot deceive yourself; you cannot deceive yourself as far as self-actualization is concerned, sooner or later you will have to ask yourself, And scrutinize yourself deeply to see what happened?Life is wasted, you have passed up an opportunity to collect things that don't make sense.

What self-actualization refers to is the pinnacle of your growth, where you can feel a deep fulfillment, where you can say, "This is my destiny, this is what I want to be, and that's why I'm here Reason on Earth." Tantra is about self-actualization, it's about how to help you grow more, and, remember: Tantra is about you, not ideals, Tantra is not about Ideally, it considers who you are and what you can become. The difference is huge.All the teachings think about ideals, they say to become like Buddha, become like Jesus, become like this or like that, they have ideals and you have to become like those ideals, Tantra does not give you ideals , your unknown ideal is hidden within you, it cannot be given to you by others, you are not going to become a Buddha, there is no need for this, a Buddha is enough, repetition is of no value, existence is always unique, It never repeats, repetition is boring.Existence is always new, always new, so even Buddha has not been repeated, such a beautiful phenomenon has not been repeated.

why?Even if only one Buddha is repeated it creates boredom, what is the use?Only unique is meaningful, replica is meaningless, only if you are first-hand, your destiny will be fulfilled, if you are second-hand, you will miss out. So Tantra never says to be like this or like that, it has no ideal.Tantra never talks about ideals, hence the name "Tantra".Tantra talks about techniques, never about ideals, it talks about how you can become, never about "what", it exists because of that "how". "Tantra" means technique, the word "Tantra" means technique, it considers the "how" you can become, it does not consider the "what", that "what" will be determined by your growth supply.Just use techniques, and little by little, the potential within you will become reality, that possibility without a blueprint will be opened, and when it is opened, you will know what it is, and no one can say what it is unless You become it and no one can predict what you will become.

So Tantra only gives you techniques, never ideals, it is different from all moral teachings, moral teachings always give ideals, even if they are talking about techniques, those techniques are for some specific ideal.Tantra does not give you the ideal, you are the ideal, your future is unknown, and the past ideal cannot be of any help because nothing can repeat, and if it repeats then it has no meaning. Zen monks say: Remember, and be alert, if you come across Buddha in meditation, kill him immediately, don't let him stand there.Zen monks are followers of Buddha, yet they say: If you come across Buddha in meditation, kill him immediately, because the personality and ideals of Buddha may become so hypnotic that you may forget Yourself, and if you forget yourself, you miss the path.Buddha is not an ideal, you are the ideal, your unknown future is the ideal, and that has to be discovered.

Tantra offers the technique for you to discover, that treasure within you.So remember this second thing: it's hard to believe that you are the ideal; it's hard to believe because everyone condemns you, nobody accepts you, not even yourself, you keep condemning you You, yourself, are always trying to be like someone else, and that is false, dangerous.If you go on thinking like this, you will become a counterfeit, and everything will become counterfeit. Do you know where the word "phoney" comes from?It comes from the word "telephone", in the early days of the telephone, the voice transmission was very false, very unreal, you could hear a real voice and a "fake" voice on the phone, the fake voice is mechanical, and the real voice is lost. This happened in the early days of the telephone, and that's where the word "fake" comes from. If you imitate someone else, you'll become a fake. You won't Be real, a mechanism will surround you and your real being, your real voice, will be lost, so don't be "fake"; be real. Tantra believes in you, that's why so few people believe in tantra, because no one believes in himself.Tantra believes in you, it says: You are the ideal, so don't imitate anyone.Imitation will create a false personality around you and you will go on acting in that false personality thinking that it is yourself when it is not, so the second thing to remember is: there is no fixed Ideally, you cannot think in terms of the future, you can only think in terms of the present, there is only an "immediate future" in which you can grow, and no "fixed future" exists; no fixed future is good , otherwise there will be no freedom, and if there is a fixed future, people will definitely become robots. You have no fixed future, you have multiple possibilities, you can grow in many ways, but the only thing that will give you ultimate satisfaction is that you grow, and each of your growth generates further growth.Tips are helpful because they are scientific, tips save you from unnecessary wandering, unnecessary exploration, and if you don't know any tricks, you will need to spend a lot of time.You will reach the goal because the life energy in you will move and unless it comes to a point where it is impossible to move, it will keep moving to the highest peak, that is why one keeps on being born again and again down.If you do it all by yourself, you will also get there, but you will have to travel very, very long, and the journey will be long, tedious, and boring. By following a master and using scientific techniques, you can save a lot of time, opportunity and energy.Sometimes in seconds you can grow so much that you can't even grow that much in many lifetimes, if you use the right technique you can grow explosively and these techniques have been tried millions of times Years, they are not devised by one man, they are devised by many, many suitors, where only the essential essence is given.These one hundred and twelve techniques cover all the techniques from all over the world. There is no one technique in any place that is not covered in these one hundred and twelve techniques. They are an important essence of the entire spiritual pursuit, but they are not All techniques are suitable for everyone, so you have to experiment thoroughly, only certain techniques will help you, you have to find them out.There are two ways: either by your own experimentation until you stumble upon something that starts to work, and then you start to grow, and you enter into it; or you surrender to some teacher, And let him find out the skills that suit you, these are the two ways you can choose.Now let's talk about techniques. First trick: Think of your essence as light, passing from one center to the next, coming up the spine, thus rising "alive" within you. There are many methods of yoga that are based on this, first understand what it is and then apply it.The spine is the foundation of your body and mind, your mind, your head, is the end of your spine, the whole body is rooted in the spine, if the spine is young, you are young; if the spine is old , you are old; if you can keep your spine young, you will not grow old, everything depends on your spine, if your spine is alive, you will have a very clear mind , if the spine is dull, dead, you will have a dull mind, and the whole of yoga is trying in every way to make your spine alive, clear, young, fresh, full of light. The spine has two ends, the one at the beginning is the sex center and the top is the sahasrar (the seventh center at the top of the head).The beginning of the spine is attached to the ground (attached to the world), and sex is the most earthly thing in you. You contact nature, the world and matter from the center where your spine begins; and you contact from the last center, from the second End, contact with divinity from the Sahasla on the head.These are the two poles of your being: the first pole is sex, the second pole is sahasra.There is no such word as Sahasla in English.These are the poles: either your life is towards sex, or your life is towards the sahasrah; or your energy flows down from the sex center, back to the earth, or your energy is released from the sahasrah into the universe.From Sahasra you flow into Brahman, into Absolute Being, and from Sexuality you flow down into Relative Being.These are two streams, two possibilities, and unless you start flowing up, your misery will never end. You may have glimpses of happiness, but fleeting glimpses, and very illusory ones. When the energy starts to flow upwards, you will have more glimpses of reality (a glimpse of divinity), and once it reaches the Sahasrah and is released from there, you will have absolute bliss, that is Nirvana, then there is no The so-called glimpse, you become bliss itself, so with tantra or yoga, the whole thing is how to lift the energy up through the spine, through the spinal cord, how to help the energy go up against gravity shift.Sex is very easy because it goes with gravity, the earth pulls everything down, your sexual energy is pulled down by the earth.You may not have heard of it, but the astronauts felt it. When they were out of gravity, they didn't feel a lot of sexual desire. When the body lost weight, the sexual desire dissolved and disappeared. The earth pulls your life energy down, which is natural, because the life energy comes from the earth, and the earth pulls it back, everything goes back to its source.If it keeps moving in this way, the life energy will go back over and over again, then you are going in circles, and you will be going around for many, many lifetimes, unless you jump out like an astronaut, otherwise You will go on going around in this way infinitely, and you have to jump out of that circle like an astronaut, so the pattern of gravity will be shattered, it can be shattered! The technique that is being talked about here is the technique of how to crush gravity, the technique of how the energy rises vertically within you to a new center, the technique of how the new energy manifests in you, making you a being with every movement. Tips for newbies.When the energy is released from your sahasrah, from the pole opposite to sex, you are no longer human, you are not of this earth, you have become divine, that is what we say Krishna is God, or Buddha is God, their body is the same as your body, their body will get sick and die, everything that happens to their body is the same as what happens to your body Same thing, there's only one thing that happens to your body that doesn't happen to theirs, and that is: Energy has shattered the patterns of gravity. But you cannot see that, it is beyond your eyes.Sometimes, when you sit next to the Buddha, you can feel this, suddenly, you will feel a sudden rise of energy in you, your energy starts to move up, only then you Only then do you know that something has happened, just by getting in touch with the Buddha, your energy starts moving up, towards Sahasra.Buddha is very powerful, even the earth is not so powerful, it cannot pull your energy down, those who feel this around Jesus, Buddha, or Krishna call them gods, they have a Energy from a different source, that energy seems to be stronger for man than the earth. How can that pattern be shattered?This technique is very useful for smashing that pattern, there are some basic things to understand first, first, if you watch carefully, you will definitely notice that your sexual energy follows the imagination.Just through imagination, your sex center starts to work, in fact, without imagination, it can't work, that's why it works better if you love someone, because imagination follows love And to get in, and if you don't have love, it's very difficult, it won't work. That's why in ancient times there were no "prostitutes", only prostitutes, if a prostitute had no love, it was very difficult, how could he have love just because of money?You can pay a guy to have sex with you, but if he doesn't have a vision of you, he can't be effective.Women can function because their sexuality is passive, in fact their functioning is unnecessary, they can be completely detached, they may not feel anything at all, their bodies can just be there, just Like a dead body.With a whore, you are not making love to a real body, you are making love to a dead body.Women can easily become prostitutes because their sexuality is passive. The sex center works through imagination, that's why even in dream you can get erection and ejaculate, that's a fact, and dream is just imagination.It has been observed that every man, if he is in good health, has at least several erections at night.With every movement of the mind, as long as there is a thought of sex, an erection will come. Your mind has many energies, many capacities, and one of them is will, but you cannot use will for sex.With sex the will is impotent, if you try to love someone you will feel that you become impotent, so never try, the will never works with sex, only the imagination.Imagine, and then that center will start to function.Why am I emphasizing this fact?Because if imagination helps energy move, then you can move energy up or down just by imagining.You cannot move your blood by imagination, you cannot do anything else with your body by imagination, but sexual energy can move by imagination, you can change its direction. This scripture says, "Think of your essence as a ray..."Think of yourself, your being as a ray, "...from one center to the next, up the spine" from your spine," Thus arises aliveness within you." Yoga divides your spine into seven centers, the first being the sex center, the last being the sahasra, and between these two there are five centers.Some systems divide it into nine centers, some into three, some into four, this division is not very meaningful, you can make your own division, only five centers will suffice.The first is the sex center, the second is just behind the navel, the third is just behind the heart, the fourth is between your two eyebrows, right in the middle, right in the middle of the forehead, and the fifth — Sahasra, just above your head, these five will do. This scripture says, "Think of yourself as", it means to imagine yourself, close your eyes and imagine yourself as if you were the light, it's not just imagination, in the beginning, it was imagination, but it It is also real because everything is made of light.Now, science says that everything is made of electricity, and Tantra has always said that everything is made of particles of light, and you are made of particles of light, that's why the Koran says: God is Light.You are the light!First imagine that you are just the light and then move your imagination to the sex center and focus your attention there and feel the light going up from the sex center as if the sex center becomes the source of the light and the light is moving up , toward the center of the navel.Division is needed because it is difficult for you to connect sex center and sahasra, so a little division will help, if you can connect then there is no need for division, you can get from your sex center Abandon all divisions above, and that energy, that life force, will rise up like light, towards Sahasra.But division will be more helpful, because it is easier for your mind to conceive smaller pieces. So, just imagine that energy (just light) rising, from your sex center to your navel, like a river of light, and soon, you will feel a warmth rising inside you, and soon, Your navel will become hot, and you can feel the heat, even other people can feel the heat.Through your imagination, the sexual energy will start to rise, when you feel that the second center that is now at the navel has become the source of light, the light comes out of there and is collected there, then, start moving to the center of the heart Center, when the light reaches the center of the heart, when the light comes, your heartbeat will change, your breath will become deeper, a warmth will come to your heart, keep going up. "Think of your essence as light, going from one center to the next, coming up the spine, thus rising alive within you." When you feel warm, next to you, you feel a "living," a New life comes to you, an inner light arises.Sexual energy has two parts: one part is the body and the other part is the mind, everything inside your body has two parts, just like your body and mind, everything inside you has two parts Two parts: one is physical and the other spiritual.Sexual energy has two parts, the material part is semen, it cannot go up, there is no channel for it, because of this, many Western physiologists say that Tantra and yoga methods are absurd, and they completely deny them.How can sexual energy increase?There is no channel, sexual energy cannot go up, they are right, but still they are wrong, semen in the physical part cannot go up, but that's not all of it, in fact, it's just the "body" of sexual energy, not sex Energy, sexual energy is the "spirit" part of it and that "spirit" part can go up, that "spirit" part can use the tunnel of the spine and its center, but that has to feel and your feeling is dead up. I remember a psychotherapist writing there about a patient, a woman, who told her to feel something, but the psychotherapist felt that whatever she did, she wasn't feeling, but just thinking Feel, that's different.So the therapist put his hand on the woman's hand, pressed hard, told her to close her eyes, and described how she felt, and she immediately replied, "I feel your hand." But the therapist "No, that's not what you feel, that's just what you think. Your inference. I put my hand in yours, and you say you're feeling my hand, but you're not, that's an inference." You feel something." So she replied, "I feel your finger." Again the therapist said, "No, it's not a feeling. Don't infer anything, just close your eyes and move to my hand, and tell me what you feel." Then she said, "Wow! I missed the whole thing, I felt pressure and warmth." When a hand touches you, it is not the hand that is felt, it is the pressure and the warmth that are felt, the hand is just inference, that is the intellect, not the feeling, the warmth and the pressure are the feeling, in this way, she It is feeling.We have lost the feeling completely, you have to develop the feeling, only then you can do these techniques, otherwise they will not work, otherwise you will just intellectualize it, you will just think you are feeling, and Nothing happens, that's why people come to me and say, "You tell us this technique is very important, but nothing happens." They try, but they miss a level - the level of feeling , so, first of all you have to develop that level, you can try some methods. You can do one thing: If you have children at home, follow them for an hour every day, which is better and more satisfying than following a Buddha.Let the child walk on all fours, and you walk on all fours, just follow the child on all fours, and for the first time you will feel a new life force coming to you, and you will become a child again; notice Look at that little boy, just follow him, he will go to every corner, he will touch everything, not only touch, he will taste everything, smell everything, just follow and do whatever he wants made. You were a kid before, you did these things too, a kid feels, he doesn't intellectualize, he doesn't think, he senses a smell, so he moves to the one that has the smell place, he sees an apple, he tastes it.Just taste like a child.Watch him while he is eating the apple, he is completely absorbed in it, the whole world is forgotten, the world no longer exists, only the apple exists, not even the apple, neither does the child, only That eats (exists).Just follow a child for an hour, and that hour will feel very fulfilling, and you will become a child again. Your defenses will be dropped, your armor will be dropped, and you will start seeing the world like a child -- seeing the world on the level of sensations.When you feel that now you can feel (rather than think), you will enjoy the texture of that rug, you will feel that pressure and warmth.Just by naively following a little child.Adults can learn a lot from children, and sooner or later your true innocence will come out.You were a kid once, you knew what it meant to be a kid, you just forgot. The feeling center has to come into play, only then the techniques will help, otherwise you will continue to imagine the energy rising, but there will be no feeling, and without feeling, imagination is impotent and useless Yes, only sentient imagination can give you a result.You can do many other things without making a special effort to do them, when you go to sleep, just feel your bed, feel your pillow, feel its cold, just be open to it, play with the pillow.Close your eyes and listen to the noise of the air conditioner, the traffic, the clock, or whatever, just listen, don't give it a name, don't say anything, don't use the mind, just live the feeling.In the morning, in the first moments of waking up, when you feel the drowsiness has gone, don't start thinking.For a few moments you can be a child again -- innocent, fresh.Don't start thinking, don't think about what you're going to do, what time you're going to work, or what train you're catching.Don't start thinking, you'll have plenty of time to do nonsense, just wait, for a few moments, just listen to the noise, a bird singing, or the wind blowing the trees, or a small child Crying, or the milkman is coming and he's making noise, or the milk is being poured, whatever's happening, you have to feel it, be sensitive to it, be open to it, let it be to you You happen, then your sensitivity will grow. When you shower, feel it all over your body -- every drop of water touches you, feel the touch, the cold, the warmth!Try this whenever you get the chance, wherever you get the chance, everywhere!When you are just breathing, feel the breath, feel the movement in it and the exhalation of the breath, just feel it!Just feel your own body!You are not feeling it. We are so afraid of our own body that no one touches his own body in a loving way.Have you ever given any love to your own body?A whole civilization is afraid of anyone touching itself, because physical touch has been denied since childhood.Touching your body in a loving way looks like masturbation, but if you are not able to touch yourself in a loving way, your body will become dull, dead, it has become into this.Touch your eyes with your palm, feel that touch, your eyes will immediately feel fresh and alive, feel every part of your body, feel your lover's body, massage is good, two friends can massage each other, Feel each other's bodies and you will become more sensitive. Create sensitivity and feeling, then you will be able to do these techniques easily, then you will feel "aliveness" rising in you, don't leave this energy anywhere, let it go to sahas pull.Remember, whenever you do this experiment, don't let the energy get stuck in the middle, you have to go through it, be careful not to let other people bother you, if you let the energy get stuck somewhere in the middle, it can be harmful, it It has to be released, so bring it to the top of your head and feel as if your head becomes an opening. In India we draw Sahasra like a lotus - a lotus with a thousand petals, Sahasra means thousand petals - an opening with a thousand petals.Just imagine an open lotus flower with a thousand petals, this energy of light enters the universe from each petal, it is also an act of love, not with nature, but with "the ultimate" Love, this is also an "orgasm". There are two kinds of orgasm: a sexual orgasm and a spiritual orgasm.Sexual orgasm comes from the lowest center and spiritual orgasm comes from the highest center.From the highest you will touch the highest, and from the lowest you will touch the lowest. Even when actually in sex you can do this exercise.Lift the energy up, and then the act of sex becomes a tantric practice, becomes meditation. But don't keep the energy in one center in one place in the body, some one may come and you will have something to do, or someone will call and you have to stop, so there must be no人打扰你的时候做，不要将能量留在任何中心，否则你留下能量的那个中心将会变成一个创伤，而你或许会创造出很多心理疾病。所以，要小心，否则就不要做这个，这个方法需要绝对的私有性和不受打扰，而且它必须做得很完整。能量必须来到头顶，而且必须从那里释放出去。 你将会有各种不同的经验，当你感觉到能量开始从性中心往上走，在性中心将会有勃起或激动的感觉。有很多很多人非常害怕、非常恐惧地来到我这里，他们说，每当他们开始静心，每当他们开始深入，就会有勃起，他们怀疑："这是什么？"他们害怕，因为他们为认为在静心当中性不应该存在，但是你不知道生命如何在产生作用，它是一个好的迹象，它显示出能量活生生地存在，现在它需要移动，所以不要害怕，而且不要认为有什么不对劲，那是一个好的迹象，当你开始静心，性中心将会变得更敏感、更活生生、更兴奋。在开始的时候，那个兴奋将会跟任何性的兴奋一样，但那只是在刚开始的时候，当你的静心变得更深，你就会觉得能量往上流，当能量往上流，性中心就会变宁静，而比较不兴奋。 当能量真的流到萨哈斯拉，在性中心将不会有激动的感觉，它将会完全静止和宁静，它将会变得完全冷却，而温暖将会来到头上，这是身体的现象。当性中心兴奋的时候，它就会变热，你可以感觉到那个热，那是身体的现象，当能量移出，性中心将会变得越来越冷、越来越冷，而那个热将会跑到头上。 你将会感到晕眩，当能量来到头上，你将会感到晕眩，有时候你甚至会感到反胃，因为能量第一次来到头上，而你的头并不熟悉它，它必须去适应，所以不要害怕，有时候你或许立刻会变得无意识，但是不要害怕，这种事会发生。如果有很多能量突然跑到头上，而在那里爆炸，你或许会变得无意识，但是那个无意识不会维持超过一个小时，在一个小时之内，那个能量就会自动退回来，或是被释放出去，你无法维持那样超过一个小时，我说一个小时，但是事实上它刚好是四十八分钟，它不可能比那个更长。在好几百万年的试验里，它从来不会那样，所以不必害怕，如果你变得无意识，那也没有问题，在那个无意识之后，你将会感到非常新鲜，就好像你处于从来没有的睡觉当中，处于最深的睡觉当中（之后所感觉到的新鲜）。 瑜珈用一个特别的名字来称呼它——"瑜珈谭德拉"（Yogatandra）：瑜珈的睡觉。它非常深，你进入你最深的中心，但是不要害怕。如果你的头变热，那是一个好的迹象，将那个能量释放出去。感觉你的头好像一朵莲花在张开，好像能量被释放到宇宙里面。当能量被释放出来，你将会感觉到有一个"冷"来到你身上，你从来没有感觉过在这个"热"之后所出现的"冷"。这个技巧必须做得很完整，一定不可以做得不完整。 Second trick: 或者在空间当中，将这个感觉成闪电。 这是一个非常类似的方法，只有些微的不同："或者在空间当中，将这个感觉成闪电。"在一个中心和另一个中心之间，当光线来临，你能够感觉到它像闪电——只是一个光的跳跃。对某些人来讲，第二技巧可能会比较适合，而对其他人来讲，第一个技巧可能比较适合，那就是为什么有这个修正，有些人无法渐进地想象事情，而有些人无法跳跃式地想象。如果你能够渐进地思考和想象，那么第一个方法是好的，但是如果你尝试第一个方法，而你觉得光线从第一个中心直接跳到第二个中心，那么你就不要做第一个方法，对你来讲，第二个方法比较好。"将这个感觉成闪电"，就像光的火花从一个中心跳到下一个中心。第二个是更真实的，因为事实上光是跳跃式的，而不是渐渐的、一步一步的成长，光是一种跳跃。 注意看电灯，你认为它继续保持不变，但那是幻象的，事实上有间隙，但那个间隙很小，所以你无法查觉它们。电是跳跃着来的，一个跳跃之后有一个黑暗的间隙，然后又有另一个跳跃，之后又有一个黑暗的间隙，但是你从来不会感觉那个间隙，因为那个跳跃非常快，否则每一个片刻都有黑暗。又一个跳跃，光来临，然后又再度变黑暗，光是用跳的，它从来不用走的。那些能够想象跳跃的人，第二个修正的技巧是最好的。 "或者在空间当中，将这个感觉成闪电。"只要去尝试它，如果你觉得光线渐渐来临是好的，那也可以，如果你觉得不好，如果你觉得光线是跳跃式的，那么就忘掉光线，把这个想成天空中的、云层中的闪电，从一个地方跳跃到另一个地方。 对女人而言，第一个技巧将会比较容易，对男人而言则是第二个。女性的头脑比较容易构想渐进的方式，而男性的头脑比较容易跳跃，男性的头脑是"跳动的"，它从一样东西跳到另一样东西，在男性的头脑里有一个微妙的不安定，而女性的头脑有一个渐进的过程，它不是跳动的，那就是为什么女性和男性的逻辑非常不同。男人继续从一样东西跳到另一样东西。对女人而言，这是无法想象的，对她们来讲，必须要有成长——渐进的成长，但是你要选择，尝试这两种技巧，然后选择看看你觉得那一个比较好。 关于这个方法还需要注意两三件事：用闪电的话，你或许会觉得那个"热"似乎无法忍受，如果你感觉那样，那么就不要去尝试它，闪电能够给你很多热，如果你感觉到这样，如果你觉得它是不能忍受的，那么就不要尝试这个，那么就用第一个方法，如果你用第一个方法觉得很舒服，那就好，否则的话，不舒服就不要去尝试它。有时候那个爆发可能更大，而你或许会变得害怕，一旦害怕，你就永远不能够再做了，如果你再做，恐惧就会再度进入。 所以一个人必须小心，一定不要变得害怕任何东西，如果你觉得恐惧将会来临，而且它对你来讲太强了，那么就不要去尝试它，那么第一个用光线的方法是最好的，如果你觉得即使用光线的话也会有太多的热来到你身上，那么就把那个光线想成凉的，将它们想成凉的，那么，不去感觉温暖，你将会感觉每一样东西都是冷的，这样做也会有效，所以，你可以决定尝试，然后决定。记住：用这个方法，或是用别的方法，如果你觉得非常不舒服或不能忍受，那么就不要做它，还有其他方法，这个方法或许不适合你，有了内在不必要的打扰，你将会创造出比你能够解决的更多的难题。 因为这样，所以我们在印度发展出一种特殊的瑜珈，我们称之为"沙加瑜珈"（sahajyoga），"沙加"的意思是自发性的、容易的、自然的。永远都要记住"沙加"，如果你觉得任何技巧自发性地来到你身上，如果你觉得对它更有亲和力，如果你觉得用它很好——更健康、更活、更放松，那么，那是适合你的方法，跟着它走，你可以信任它，不要创造出不必要的难题，内在的运作过程非常复杂，如果你做某一件事，而那件事对你来讲太强了，你或许会破坏很多事情，所以最好跟着那些你感觉和谐的事走。 The third trick: 将宇宙感觉成一个半透明的、永远活着的"在"。 这也是与光有关的："将宇宙感觉成一个半透明的、永远活着的在。"如果你服用任何药物，比方说LSD（迷幻药），或是某种这一类的东西，整个在你周围的世界都变成一个彩色光的现象，那是半透明的、活生生的，这不是因为LSD的缘故，世界就是这样，只是你的眼光变得迟钝而没有生趣。并不是LSD在你周围创造出一个多彩多姿的世界，世界本来就是多彩多姿的，世界并没有什么不对，它是一道五颜六色的彩虹、是一个彩色的神秘和半透明的光，但是你的眼睛已经变得迟钝而没有生趣，那就是为什么你从来不能够以这样的多彩多姿来感觉它。 LSD只是清除你的眼睛，它并非使世界变得多彩多姿，它只是帮助你的无趣产生化学作用，然后整个世界就会在你的面前迸出来，它是一件新鲜事，即使一张普通的椅子也变成一个不寻常的现象，本来只是地板上的一双鞋子也会蒙上新的色彩、新的青春。平常的交通噪音变成音乐的。你一直都在看，但从来没有注意看的树木被重新生出来，虽然你一直都在经过它们，而你知道你看过它们；每一片树叶都变成一个奇迹。 真实的存在就是如此。LSD只是摧毁你的无趣和你的不敏感，而使你以一个人应该真正看世界的方式来看世界，但是LSD只能给你一个短暂的瞥见，如果你依靠它，迟早甚至LSD都无法去除你的没有生趣，那么你就需要更高的剂量，然后更高的剂量也无法对你产生作用，事实上，如果你在使用LSD或其他药物之后离开它们，世界将会变得比以前更没有生趣，而你将会变得更不敏感。 到了最后，LSD将会使你变得麻木，因为，使用它，你并没有在成长，如果你成长，那么它是一个不同的过程，那么你就变得更敏感，当你变得更敏感，世界就会变得不同，如此一来，你就能够感觉到很多你以前从来没有感觉过的东西，因为你以前没有那么敏感。 这个技巧以内在的敏感为基础，首先你要在敏感度上成长。只要关起你的门，使房间变暗，然后点一支小蜡烛，以一种非常具有爱心的态度坐在蜡烛的旁边，以一种祈祷的（宁静的）态度更好。只要向蜡烛祈祷："将你自己显示给我。"洗个澡，将冷水泼在你的眼睛上，然后以一种非常祈祷的心情坐在蜡烛的前面，注意看着它，忘掉每一样东西，只要注视着那支小蜡烛——那个火焰和那支蜡烛，继续注视着它，五分钟之后，你将会感觉到蜡烛里面有很多东西在改变，记住，并不是蜡烛里面的改变，是你的眼睛在改变。 带着一个爱的态度，将整个世界都摒除在外，带着完全的专心，带着一颗感觉的心，只要继续看着那支蜡烛和那个火焰，那么你将会在火焰的周围发现新的颜色，发现你从来不知道它有存在的新色度。它们是存在的，整个彩虹都存在，不论光在什么地方，彩虹就在那里，因为光是所有的颜色。你需要一个微妙的敏感度，只要去感觉它，而且继续注视着它，即使开始流眼泪，你也要继续注视着它，那些眼泪将会帮助你的眼睛变得更新鲜。 有时候你或许会觉得那个火焰、那支蜡烛变得很神秘，它并不是你带来的那支平凡的蜡烛，它戴上了一个新的魅力，一个微妙的神性进入了它，继续做这个，你也可以用很多其他的东西来做这个。 一个朋友告诉我说有五、六个人用石头在作实验，我告诉过他们要如何去实验，然后他们来向我报告，他们在一条寂寞的河流岸边用石头在做实验。他们试着用他们的手、用他们的脸去感觉它们，用舌头舔石头、闻石头，尽一切可能的方式来感觉那个石头，感觉那个他们在岸边找到的平凡的石头。 他们每一个人都用一个石头以这种方式尝试了一整个小时，然后我的朋友说：有奇迹出现。每一个人都说："我能不能拥有这块石头？我已经爱上了它！"一块平凡的石头！如果你跟它有一个同感的关系，你将会爱上它，而如果你没有那个敏感度，那么，即使跟一个非常漂亮的人在一起，你也是跟一个石头在一起，你也是无法坠入爱河。 敏感度必须成长，你的每一个感官必须变得更活生生，然后你就能够用这个技巧来试验。"将宇宙感觉成一个半透明的、永远活着的在。"光到处都在，光以很多很多形状、形式到处都在发生，注意看着它！光到处都存在，因为整个现象都以光作为基础。注意看一片叶子、一朵花、或是一块石头，迟早你将会感觉到光线从它出来，只要耐心等待，不要急，因为你一急的话，就没有什么东西会显示出来，在匆忙之中，你是麻木的，对每一样东西都要静静地等待，你将会发现一个新的现象，那个现象一直都在那里，但是你对它不够警觉，所以你没有觉知到它。 "将宇宙感觉成一个半透明的、永远活着的在。"当你感觉那个永远都活着的存在的在，你的头脑将会变得完全宁静，你将会只是它里面的一部分，只是伟大的交响乐里面的一个音符，没有负荷、没有紧张，那个水滴已经掉进了大海，但是刚开始的时候需要很大想象力，而如果你也尝试用其他的敏感训练，它将会有所帮助。 你可以尝试很多方式，只要把别人的手放在你的手中闭起你的眼睛，感觉别人里面的生命，感觉它，让它移向你。感觉你自己的生命，让它移向别人。坐在一棵树的旁边，碰触它的树皮，闭起你的眼睛，感觉那个生命在树里面上升，你将会立刻改变。 我听说过一个实验，一个医生用人作实验，看看他们的感觉是不是会改变他们的生物化学，后来他报告说感觉会立刻改变他们体内的生化作用。他用十二个人作实验，在实验之前，他搜集他们的尿液，那些尿液是一般性的、正常的。 每一个人都被放在不同的压力情况下，其中一个给他看恐怖片，看愤怒、暴力、残酷的电影，那只是一个影片，让他看恐怖片三十分钟，当然，他的感情随着恐怖片而改变，他感觉到压力。另外一个人，让他看一个很高兴的影片，他觉得很快乐，以此试验了十二个人，然后再作他们的尿液采样，根据尿液分析显示，如此一来，每一个人的尿液都不同了，体内的化学物质已经改变了，那个感觉到恐怖的人生病了，而那个感觉到希望、快乐、高兴的人是健康的，他的尿液是不同的，体内化学物质是不同的。 你并没有觉知到你在对你自己做什么，当你去看一部谋杀的电影，你不知道你在做什么，你在改变你身体的化学，如果你读一本侦探小说，你不知道你在做什么，你在杀害你自己，你会变得兴奋，你会变得害怕，有一个紧张会来到你身上，你就是这样在享受侦探小说，你变得越紧张，你就越享受；故事越悬疑，你就越兴奋——你在改变你身体的化学。 所有这些技巧也是在改变你身体的化学，如果你感觉整个世界都充满生命和光，那么你是在改变你身体的化学，这是一个连锁反应，当你身体的化学改变，你可以再注意看世界，它将会看起来更活生生，你身体的化学将会再度改变，然后它就变成一个连锁反应。 如果你用这个方法做三个月，你将会生活在一个不同的世界里，因为如此一来你将会不同。
