(Returning complexity to the simplicity of selfless being)
By bringing the seemingly disparate parts of our spiritual existence back to the unity of the Ultimate Being/Consciousness, the complexity of our lives is returned to the simplicity of the selfless Being.
T he true teaching is within each and every individual, yet to open to such a possibility within, one needs to spend a great deal of time refining the self and realising the various motives that push one into spiritual actions and ambitious pursuits.
The genuine teacher is the one who is the teaching and who emanates this teaching through their presence, in every word and action. Such a teacher’s words vibrate the Being. Their words are not just full of wisdom or familiar concepts that our minds may agree or disagree with, but are filled in with the very essence of the teaching that these beings emanate, and through whose presence each and every other being can perceive that same essence within themselves, even if only for a glimpse.
True teachers do not need to appear as bold and charismatic or super pleasant people.
True teachers are called as such not because they know how to teach or offer academic discourses or other types of courses, but because their entire being emanates teaching and transformation in each moment. Such beings have no desire to teach or to be in the spotlight. Such beings flow in life and do everything naturally and spontaneously. Such true gems are rare. Many people ignorantly choose to believe that some saints of the past or people who were put by other ignorant people on a pedestal of holiness are truly enlightened or knowledgeable, yet for some reason they all perished and died like everyone else.
They will definitely not be very appealing or attractive for the majority of the current day-and-age people, because they are too subtle and too simple. The current mind is a complex mind that looks for complexity in existence.
It is so because those who represent and teach such spirituality are not the vessels of the teaching, are not the emanations of the teaching, but rather, are entertainers and businessmen, beings who are distorted and/or imbalanced on various levels. And thus, they attract beings alike – the more the better; armies of ignorant beings swamp around the most ignorant teachers.
To pass on the knowledge means that the recipient beings are equal in potentiality to the teachers and can contain the knowledge within, or in other words, can become the vessels of this knowledge, too. Knowledge is like existence or space; it is always there. Yet, in order to be able to experience it, and more-so, to contain and vibrate it, one needs to realign one’s transitory being with that of the Ultimate One. This is the essence of true teaching and the transmission of the Higher Being in the body.
(The spiritual industry and its consumer-marketed immaturity)
The majority of immature people find immature teachers and dead-end paths, which fit their boxed ideas of spirituality, imagination and projections, suitable to a shopper or consumer-like mentality.
They are subtly manipulated into a belief that they choose, yet their choices are carefully calculated, tailored and well-marketed to them in order to match their ideas of spirituality or their current emotional/mental needs.
The spiritual industry makes billions off people’s emotional and mental traumas, psychological imbalances and victim mentality, offering them temporary solutions for which they need to pay handsomely.
Siddha Kundalini Sadhana, or in other words, the process self-refinement through self-cultivation, is rooted in the realisation of the natural being or the Ultimate Reality of the self within one’s embodied being and the subtle body action. Such awakening then leads to the occurrence of subtle body movements and various subtle and physical phenomena that lead one to self-refinement and disillusionment.
(Siddha Param-Para: surrender, self-observation, and mantra)
To evolve under Siddha Param-Para requires maturity and receptivity of mind in order to perceive the subtler dimensions of consciousness and self, learning from the direct guidance of the living siddha guru or receiving teaching in a subtle way. In any case, absolute trust, surrender and compliance to the guidance ensures one’s further evolution and disillusionment. No other practice will move one ahead as much as one’s connection with the true, living siddha master.
Thus, the primary task for the great majority of beings lies in the process of self-observation, self-refinement and letting go of various conditions, distortions and patterns of reaction, dissolving stale traumas and traumatic responses in consciousness and healing themselves on the subtle and physical levels. The main task is to observe the self on all levels and to contemplate. Another element of this sadhana is the use of sound resonance practice (siddha beej (seed) mantra) to increase the flow of concentration, and to grow through the spiritual absorption and the equanimous Self-Being.
one is not able to perceive the natural flow within and be free in their Conscious Being from the projections of the manifested reality, then one cannot learn.
Having ambition to learn and acquire knowledge is the distortion in itself and signifies spiritual immaturity and even danger in the disclosure of any spiritual knowledge to such beings. That is why, spiritual knowledge is self-protected.
For example, when the true preceptor initiates one in Shambhavi mudra or Mahamudra, he/she imparts – verbally or through their look or conscious connection – any such knowledge; it means that there is a spontaneous knowing and experience of the spiritual dimension, the symbol (or mudra) of which one becomes – or that this knowing/being is going to unfold over some time within that embodied consciousness.
True knowledge always comes through initiation. Yet, this initiation cannot be understood as some form of external demonstration or ritual. It has to be understood in a subtle way, by mature minds and perceived within their own Conscious Being.
(Consciousness as highest guru; knowledge flows through purity)
The Consciousness itself is the highest guru, which manifests the guru in the physical realm.
The highest form of learning is through the connection with Siddha Param-Para and the cultivation of one’s purity and selflessness, which dissolves any obstacles within one’s embodied being in order to perceive higher forms of knowledge directly. There is no difference between knowledge, transmission and grace and Being. These are all but human notions of one and the same phenomenon called Higher Existence. At first, we need instructions and practices, where our doer-consciousness is involved.
reality. At that point, we are only able to recognise those teachers that offer us action-driven solutions and stimulate our action-driven consciousness. The action-driven consciousness is not within the natural flow of Being. It exists as if within a limited, manmade realm within the creation.
For a consciousness to be mature, it means that it is tired and exhausted within the projected reality and no longer wants to support the illusion within itself, so it stops and awakens to the Natural Being, or it manifests a possibility for itself, in the projected reality, to come to this awakening through a manifested medium such as the manifested teacher.
(Perceiving bondage as the doorway to awakening)
As long as we do not perceive bondage as bondage, it all remains an ephemeral or theoretical idea. To perceive bondage means to consciously perceive suffering in the physical or subtle bodies. It means to clearly feel the obstructed, natural flow within the self. This obstruction is felt as pain, fear, agitation, anxiety, an inability to relax and perceive one’s Natural Being and an inability to live naturally through that Being.
Even though at first it appears as if it is a quest to find a solution to one’s ailment, such quests may lead to the spiritual awakening, or in other words, to the awareness of the subtle reasons for one’s ailments.
Spiritual experience means awareness of the subtle dimension of the Self.
With time, more refinement and inner mastery, one is able to remain action-less and dwell within the essence of one’s own consciousness as a powerful being, yet powerful beyond action. One is then able to realise power in non-action, the power of the Being, and one learns to act through this Being and only when it is necessary.
The moment the adept is open from within (by the degree of their spiritual maturity which is measured by the simplicity, purity and selflessness that results in a dispassionate approach to the projected reality) the knowledge is flowing naturally from the space of the teacher’s consciousness into the space of the adept’s consciousness, invoking the same frequency within the adept and connecting the adept’s consciousness with the new dimension of knowledge and awareness.
This is why a true guru is known to dispel darkness. The process of dispelling darkness is simple; it happens through the adept’s intention to consciously connect and cultivate that connection with the guru’s consciousness. To be close to a preceptor in a physical form means to receive very advanced forms of initiation – teachings which cannot be described in words. An adept can only perceive them and experience them at the ripe time, in silence and just by being there sharing the space. For lesser advanced adepts, the preceptor will use verbal and written transmissions impregnated with the potent spiritual essence that eventually unfolds within that adept as self-born knowledge at the right time, only when such an adept’s consciousness refines.
This is why, sometimes, if need be, certain purification techniques or other limited practices may be prescribed when the mind is only learning to sustain the higher awareness and still needs to be engaged into spiritual action. Self-born knowledge is self-protected, and true preceptors will never impart higher forms of knowledge on an unprepared adept.
Sometimes, a preceptor may advise an adept to alter their diet or lifestyle, but it is always temporary, for a specific stage of purification, self/refinement and transformation, and always within the context of the adept’s natural evolutionary growth and life circumstances.
The more one burns the impurities and refines the self, the more one merges with the field of consciousness of one’s preceptor and the more one realises the unified perceptive on reality and holds on to it, gradually liberating the self from the shackles of the projected illusion and formerly created conscious ties with it.
The further we evolve, the more we correlate our stream of consciousness and stream of life with the natural flow of Being. We feel a natural impulse to burn unhealthy ties and connections with the projected reality and feel a genuine intention to refine the self, manifesting this refinement in our diet, lifestyle, quality of relationships and life-flow in general.
One, more and more, sees that the Ultimate is more fulfilling and nurturing, and that the external projection is draining and exhausting. This way, one gradually shifts from an action driven perspective on reality into the Natural Being that permeates the action and non-action.
-Lemon or lime water in the morning on an empty stomach. -The consumption of bitter herbs as indicated by the preceptor. -A balanced, moderate and nourishing organic fresh diet, with a predominance of green vegetables, fruits, seeds. Organic goat milk, kefir, dairy products in small quantity or in moderation if one has inner inclination to consume them.
Guggul (in various formulations, and depending on the individual case or as prescribed by the preceptor). All such herbs have to be taken only under the strict
-Working with beliefs, patterns and ideas, and transforming them into neutrality, letting go of the unnecessary ideas and thoughts by relaxing the body and repeating the mantra, by tuning into the silence and Siddha presence within.
-We should abstain from practicing anything that disempowers us. We should stop projecting our power onto external objects, people, rituals, etc.
-One should read about spiritual phenomena only in the case that one has experienced something within the self and needs an explanation. One should abstain from exercising too much imagination stimulated by reading, watching or talking about spiritual subjects.
allowing self to experience all the afflictions and impurities and dissolve them within the space of pure consciousness.
When we read about other people’s journeys, feelings and realisations, we are deluded by the words. Certain experiences cannot be conveyed through words.
-We should avoid discussing spiritual experiences and spirituality in general, with an unprepared audience, or with people who have no idea or a very superficial idea of the subject. Neither should we ever argue about the subject of spirituality. Until we are completely refined and integrated, luminous and immortal, we are just like everybody else. This thought will keep us humble and grounded, calm and centred.
If the system, movement, or teaching does not result in one’s complete awakening and transformation, then that system, movement or teaching has no Siddha Param-Para – the ability to activate the seed of knowledge within another.
This knowledge neither wants to argue, nor be preached. It shines through, as the sunlight shines through the clouds, even when the sun appears to be overcast.
Sushumna (Susamana) is not a middle channel, but a state of equanimity, altered consciousness, transcendence, subtle breath, internal vibration within the sacred chamber, and the phenomenon of deep subtle breath and deep absorption.
and other methods of changing the pattern of the breath, all use inhalation and exhalation in order to stimulate and alter the activity of the brain, the core chamber and the upper glands.
During the process of transformation, one’s activity should be balanced with no-activity – with Being-ness, with the practice of just being and relaxing. Otherwise, one risks having an imbalanced transformation process.
Ordinary men stay away from Guha, wasting their vital breath and burning the self from within. Delusional men run away from life to the physical guha, and waste their vital breath on imagining spirituality, fantasising about it and indulging in various spiritual thoughts, rituals and the like. They carry emotions, fears and desires into the guha, and that guha becomes their prison. The awakened one discovers the Guha within by the power of awakening to the Self, and frequently visits it and spontaneously enjoys the stay.
The enlightened and transformed masters remain equanimous in that Guha and see the whole multidimensional universe within that Guha. They experience all dimensions of the Self through their Being there, and the subtle light coming from that Guha enlightens and preserves the body in which the Guha remains immortal. Such a Guha is free and emanates enlightenment to others unconditionally; no ordinary person can come and live there.
An average contemporary human being is a thinking, emotional animal. A real human being is an awakened, conscious, equanimous Being. The body is the by-product of the distorted mind-consciousness. The body has its function.
Nothing. Spiritual awakening and transformation is the process of awakening to the Ultimate Being, refining the emotional self, and integrating the self by means of understanding the role of the creative/emotional energy (which can also be used in procreation) in human spiritual evolution.
Physical copulation or the lack of copulation does not matter for an awakened being, since it is actually the copulation of the Natural Being-Awareness with the projected reality that is the primary object of refinement for the true yogi.
The more we stimulate the liver (not only by consuming garlic but other stimulants as well, like sugars, tea, coffee, spices, onion and others), the more we will indulge in cerebral activity (thinking, imagination, mental restlessness). Our breath becomes imbalanced, and the power of consciousness is squandered by the mind wandering and by dispersion through the senses.
A true Yogi is one who has mastered his/her emotional power of consciousness. He/She is a renunciate when this (emotional) power is withdrawn and collected within, consciously.
(Relationship as sadhana; loss as mirror of inner attachment)
RELATIONSHIP SADHANA Relationships are a great spiritual sadhana when you can consciously observe your own reactions and feelings through the interaction with others, and when you can explore self more deeply through interactions with the other person. Love relationships are the most important, yet our understanding of relationships and their spiritual value is sorely lacking nowadays. We tend to look at a relationship as something additional, like an extension to our lives, in the same way that we pursue a career, money, and an escapist form of spirituality.
A relationship is an endless ocean of self-exploration through the other. How many of you have ever done this? How many of you have ever been rewarded? Hardly anyone has…
Only by having explored and learnt in depth the laws of this emotional reality and its gravity can we find a way to break through this gravity and go up. Without knowing the law of gravity, trying to make it to the stars will be a childish attempt.
ON LOSS When we lose something, we feel a strong sense of separation within ourselves. This separation is illusionary since, in fact, we cannot lose anything. Everything is within us. All we can lose in the process is our self-awareness. In order to maintain Self, we should understand that everything changes and transforms in life.
By associating self too much with the other, fears and attachments arise. They are the ones that create a desire and a feeling of permanence. And when this illusive permanence is shattered, they create the vacuum of inner loss.
If we perceive a sense of deep loss, it means that we have included, in this sense of loss, that which we miss within ourselves, and that now, when it’s no longer there in its external form, it makes us feel the pain of attachment and thus, the pain of ignorance.
Disassociate self from the traumatised, limited, emotional self, and refine. Only then can you see that all those hurts and pains that you experienced as if through your partner, were in fact, originally within you.
The sense of separation and avoidance never leads to understanding. On the contrary, it just creates more room for further failures in life.
This is why daily kriyas are crucial. If one has issues with self-forgiveness, acceptance and the forgiveness of others, then one will experience skeletal issues and neck strains and pains until all the issues are resolved. Too much stress and work may also create indigestion through the process of conscious awakening. If people lead a hectic lifestyle and engage in a lot of left brain activity, logical, calculative and analytical thinking, then they may experience heat in the head, gas, liver issues, restlessness, anxiety, and an overall inability to deeply relax and simply be. One may also experience deep, effortless bliss and pain at the same time.
At this level of transformation, one is full of illumination. The active sacred chamber (the spiritual heart in the brain) fully illumines one’s body, especially when one is in equanimous, blissful absorption. One is also able to produce the same effect of bliss and illumination in others. One acquires mastery over one’s limited emotional self and transcends it.
One is able to perceive and know things within the Self whether one is far or close to that thing, object or person.
the Being that is in direct alignment with, and which is deeply aware of its own manifestation on multidimensional levels. Where an ordinary being sees a miracle, an evolved being sees a natural science and an art of being connected with the creation as the very constituent of it.
(Kayasampat: the body illumined, ageless, and indestructible)
Kundalini Yoga as the process of Kayasampat – the enlightenment of the body. The body becomes young, luminous, ageless, disease-free, indestructible, free from hunger or thirst and eternal. One can abandon or dematerialise such a body at will, and one may exist in such a body for thousands of years.
Their bodies are unhealthy, and they tend to be angry, imbalanced, power-hungry, greedy and fanatic; they create cults around themselves and delude others, feeding
Compassion has to be there, as well as equanimity. Simplicity has to be there, as well as acceptance and wisdom. Service has to be there, as well as self-respect. Power has to be there, as well as awareness. Spiritual realisation has to be there, as well as physical Immortality. The Truth gives you knowledge about yourself and your manifestation. Being-ness brings out the essence of Self. When you unite Power with Being-ness within self, you become the Creator. Through Being-ness, the Light of Self emanates. When the Light of Self spreads through the Body, you become the Immortal.
