Alan: Agreed, but I don't feel it as coming from the Heart Chakra, well 
certainly not the Anahata in the centre of my chest. Interestingly enough, 
Ramakrishna apparently used to ask his disciples to meditate on "the heart", 
but at a point physically just below the breast-bone (and which practice the 
Ramakrishna Order continues to this day). This lower chakra I certainly feel; 
it as an enormous power centre but it is NOT the Manipura: it may be what is 
known as the Karma Kanda, but I rarely see this referred to in classical 
literature. I wonder whether this has some relation to the Heart Cave and/or 
Ramana's seat of the Self?

Alan: Thank you. I can think of nothing more appropriate and more meaningful 
to end posts with and I am glad that it gives you joy. But funnily enough, I 
have recently stopped saying "With blessings" in favour of "God bless". It 
suddenly struck me: who am I to bless anybody? God does the blessing although 
I may be fortunate enough to be the channel. So, being the precise person that 
I am, I felt it necessary to change my tack.
 
The end result is the same, I hope :-)
 
God bless, 
Alan

Hello and welcome Pam,
 
Thanks for your post. It's always nice to tune into others who resonate with 
the Gita, and also with Yogananda and his lineage. I have read many versions 
of the Gita but Y's was something else -  a completely new, yogic commentary. 
It opened the Gita up for me in a special way and I learnt a great deal from 
it, but I must admit that I do not know the editions you referred to.
 
I am currently reading the 'Sai Baba Gita', as compiled by Al Drucker from 
talks given by Baba; not a strict commentary as such, more a re-expression of 
the original scripture for the modern era. And so beautiful with it 
(particularly if you accept that Sai Baba is/was Krishna, asI do) but not a 
yogic text like Y's. 
 
It just amazes me that one scripture, and only 700 verses, can contain so much 
wisdom. The essence of the Vedas and Vedanta is all there. No wonder Gandhi 
adopted it as his life-guide. What a joy and a blessing it is - if we follow 
its guidance, of course!
 
I am glad that you are enjoying this K List: there's a lot of wisdom on it and 
some lovely people, but you need an active Delete key as well :-)
 
God bless,

According to my observations, there seems to be some confusion about the 
Heart Chakra. In the traditional Yoga-system, the heart chakra is refered 
to as Anahata. Anahata means "the source of the sound" because of a certain 
hum there. Of the 12 energies in this chakra, 6 of them was active in an 
early stage in human evolution. Long before the present awake-state, when 
mankind had a very dull consciousness, these 6 "blades" of the "lotus" was 
active, causing certain types of ESP which could only exist in these dump 
state of consciousness. They were "gifts from nature", and exists even 
today among psychics who have ESP experiences but are not Initiates in the 
true meaning of the word. When the consciousness became clearer, these 6 
blades became inactive. The 6 other blades of the heart chakra can be 
activated through 6 different techniques changing fundamental personality 
traits. And when this occurs, the 6 earlier blades alseo become activated.
 
Hridayakasham (the akashic chamber of Beauty), symbolized by the Queens 
chamber in the Great Pyramid, is not the same as anahata. First of all, 
Hridayakasham is the name of a meditation technique, used in a preliminary 
Kriya Yoga program, composed of 9 meditation teqniques. Second, hridaya is 
the name of a heart lotus with 8 blades, "the secondary heart chakra". 
 
Around our physical outfit, we have what we can call an etheric "skin", a 
web so to say, which protects us against any harm from the astral 
environment. Alcoholism, drugs, crime, sexual perversity, insanity, are 
results of becoming attached to or attacked by lower astral species. And 
just as we have an ozon layer to protect us against dangerous beams from 
the Sun, just as we have borders around countries to protect us against 
invaders, just as we have a physical skin which protects us from microbes 
causing diseases, so we have an etheric web protecting us against lower 
astral beeings. The etheric web can make us  conscious about the entrance 
in our auric envelope from beeings of higher or lower nature. And the main 
function of the 8 bladed lotus is to be the webs regulator.
 
There is, however, dangerous to make these lotus the control organ of the 
web in the first place. In order for the spiritual evolution to go on in 
the prescribed manner, the etheric web center must first be generated in a 
secondary chakra in the head (manas chakra), then the secondary throath 
chakra (lalana chakra), and finally in hridaya. The chamber in the heart is 
also one of the three places of resting, when Kundalini moves upwards. 
During my first Initiation, Kundalini had a long rest in these chamber, a 
truly "breath-taking" experience, because my ability to breath disappeared. 
Then it went to the head, not trough sushumna, but on the front side of the 
body, into anja and out through bindu.
 
The 101 nerves corresponds to the 101 subjects our mind can puzzle with 
simoultaniously. Although we can only be aware of 7 things at the same time 
in our conscious level (the frontal part of our brain), we are in our 
subconscious state aware of 101 subjects simoultaniously. So says the 
secret doctrine into which I became initiated.

Hello everyone.
 
I started to do something unique and reasonable, then I decided such odd  
behavior might get me thrown off this list. So instead of doing what the  
list rules say and keep my flame off the list and direct it to the  
person/persons I'm pissed at (which at this point is a large part of the  
list) I decided to follow the current norm and waste everyone's  
bandwidth with this post. When in Rome....
 
It is apparent a number of people on this list need a life. I have  
gotten a lot, no a hell of a lot, of posts in my in-box with titles  
like: Food, Samskaras, etc. Some of them had value, some were just self  
expression of interest to the poster, but far far too many were just a  
bunch of angry immature people having a pissing contest. All I saw were  
a bunch of people who were all wet!
 
We just had a discussion about wasting bandwidth, it wasn't to encourage  
it! It was to discourage it!
 
If you can find nothing to do with your time other than to argue with  
people on a list devoted to Kundalini about who's a bigger jerk, then  
who's a bigger asshole, then.... may I suggest you take up masturbation.  
It is not the most satisfying hobby, it isn't very productive, but it  
has the advantage of leaving other people alone. (If your religion  
considers it wrong, it considers it self-abuse not abuse of others like  
we've been having.) 
 
If you want to flame me for this fine! This time just show the maturity  
and the good manners to do it off the list so everyone won't have to  
waste their time reading it, deleting it, or wondering why they  
subscribe to a list with clowns wasting bandwidth with no concern for  
the subject of the list nor the people on it.
 
For those who haven't been wasting everyone's time in those rants,  
please forgive me for wasting your time with this message.
 
Joe

Dear List Members,
 
I guess that most of us know what Remote Viewing is 
but how the heck does one do it . 
Here's a great web site that explains how. 
Download the book and practice, practice. 
You can Remote View the past as well as the present and future. 
Have fun and let me know about your adventures.

In the first place, this is Kali Yuga, where Vedanta and the laws of Manu 
are not on the top 100 of bestsellers. Then, there is the possibility to 
capture and transform anger, frustration etc. in manipura chakra, in stead 
of causing havoc in your system. Knowing this fact alone should bring relief 
and shows things from a different perspective. When pissing, the simple form 
of vajroli mudra can be practiced. It is far easier than the complete 
exercize. If thoughts about masturbation/sex arise, use the mantra: mamet 
punar windriyam. Remember, with one life-force you just can't serve two 
masters and life in Kali Yuga is veeery short... BTW, as this post is 100% 
K. related, no one can complain.

Cheers Jim. A few years back I was participating in fidonet, a mail 
network run by a bunch of non-internet bulletin boards. One of my 
favourite haunts set up a small sub-network for all things to do with 
the paranormal, esoterica and mysticism. There weren't all that many 
people but the people who did arrive were very alike. Kind of like a 
home. We did a lot of experiments with many things, seeing aura's, 
making predictions, particularly as the national lottery started up 
just around then.
 
But another thing we did was a bit of remote viewing. On one occasion 
I had called up one of my best on-line buddies who lives in London and 
we had a real-time chat, but like IRC but just between two people. We 
used to have real long chats and this time round we got onto the 
subject of remote viewing and decided to experiment. My task was to 
describe the room he was in. It actually went quite well.
 
Now, I have observed that anything I do for the first time, or with a 
similar mental state, has much more success than if I've gotten used 
to it. The first time around was real productive. I came up a with a 
number of things, such as metal tubing and black leather, which turned 
out to be an exercise bench. I saw a big tall wooden wardrobe and 
whereabouts there was a stack of cd's. I managed to see what wall the 
computer was facing, where my friend was in the room, and where the 
door was. It was quite surprising once I got into the swing of it. It 
was real difficult not to try and invent things though. One had to use 
intuition and try to listen, and to intensely ask what was there and 
to be shown it. We also did some off-line experiments which were not 
quite so successful.
 
I also read a book just recently about remote viewing, fascinating 
discoveries about entities living on Mars, about things from the far 
history and from the future.
 
So I will take a look at that website. Thanks for pointing it out.

to meditate on "the heart",  but at a point physically just below the breast- 
bone (and which practice the  Ramakrishna Order continues to this day).
 
Harsha: Thanks Alan for pointing this out. As soon as I read this I had 
serious goosebumps all over my body. I have noticed one of the side effects of 
being on this list is that I have started to read again some of the books of 
my childhood and adolescence. By the way a month or so ago, I looked at my old 
copy of the Serpent Power by Arthur Avalon due to the discussion between Kurt 
and Joe Miller. I noticed that it talked about various sanskrit mantra sounds 
and their relationship between different Nadis. I had to smile. The mind can 
forget a lot in 20 years:--). It mentioned many advanced methods of pranayama 
as well. 
 
Jan: Experiencing the K. related chakras and 
the heart chakra at the right was never simultaneous and the existence of 
the chakra at the right was experienced much later than the others. Because 
several times during walking meditation I experienced the absence of body 
feelings, gravity included, chakras are never experienced as a seat of Self.
 
Harsha: Jan, it makes sense. For me also the "experience" of the Heart came 
after the Kundalini had gone up to Sahasarara in meditation many many many 
times over a period of two years in my early twenties. In all such times I 
would not be physically moving but in Samadhi and my body was totally immobile 
as in sleep. In my experience there are many different Samadhis possible at 
the Sahasarara (as well as on other centers on route to Sahasarara).  When 
Superconscious states at Anahata, Vishudha, Ajna and Sahasarara had become a 
frequent occurrence, one day Shakti after having reached the Sahasarar came 
down on the front side of the body and merged in the Cave of the Heart. Then 
even the slightest feeling of existence disappeared and there was perfect 
recognition of Reality as the Self. 
 
magneagaATnospammonet.no (Magne Aga): Hridayakasham (the akashic chamber of Beauty), 
symbolized by the Queens chamber in the Great Pyramid, is not the same as 
anahata. First of all, Hridayakasham is the name of a meditation technique, 
used in a preliminary 
Kriya Yoga program, composed of 9 meditation teqniques. Second, hridaya is 
the name of a heart lotus with 8 blades, "the secondary heart chakra". 
 
Harsha: Thanks for your sharing Magne Aga.  I agree with your distinction. 
Perhaps you are also familiar with Ramana Maharshi who speaks of the Heart and 
the Self.  The Kriya Yoga program that you write about, if it has origins 
older or different from Swami Yogananda's tradition, could you mention the 
sources.  Thanks.  Great to have you with us.
