The ida, pingala and sushumna the pathway of Truth

Ida and Pingala intersect at every chakra plexus along the spine. All these centers are interconnected to all others. In fact every organ and system of the body is interconnected through the nervous system, meridians, chemically and in other ways with all other parts, so that the entire system or field operates as one. This can be seen just by looking at the pressure points related to every part of the body along the spine, or the feet or the hands or look at a Jenssen eye chart, just as examples of this.

The apparent imbalances that seem to occur resulting in dis-ease physical and mental are due to the various centers, be they nerve plexuses, where all the nerves do not fire, or glandular, where toxins in the capillaries result in imbalanced secretions, prevent the balanced harmonious whole response of the field to the impacting events.

These imbalances prevent or block the realization and emergence of the True Man and True Woman, where the interaction with the world is experienced in a sort of spontaneously intuitive 3 dimensional timeless whole, prior to which the mind, with its subconscious storehouse of preconceptions, impressions and takes, as the basis to interpret, experience judge, view and project a separate and distinct world predominate.

Through the practice of certain yogas, these glands are charged and in the process discharge their waste and begin to secrete normally and completely, and the nerve plexuses begin to become charged, such that all the nerves fire within the plexus.

This results in the further interconnected balancing of all centers, followed by the unbroken polarization of the magnetic field of the body.

The sushumna starts at the base of the spine up to the Ajna chakra - the silver cord; extending between the Ajna and the crown is the gold cord, then extending further to the Hrdayam or Spiritual Heart is the Para nadi or Atma nadi. This it the whole length of the sushumna. Each section is more powerful or luminous then the previous, like a sun to a shadow.

Some say that, actually the sushumna begins in the Hrdayam, because the seat of the Self is there, where we point when we say "I" which sense of "I" is the consciousness that pervades the body/mind field and the Universe without distinction, as the Ground and Substratum and sense of Realness in every experience conscious, unconscious, superconscious.

The practice of yoga balances the field until the field is felt as pure etheric knowledge space. With the mind still and in its normal intuitive state, prana accumulates putting the field under pranic pressure that causes the Kundalini to enter the sushumna and rise to the crown centers.

Through devotion and longing for union with God, the higher centers open such that the Kundalini (Awareness) will always rise, and as the mind begins to become pure (a purity beyond stillness), the awareness shifts from the field to the union with God Consciousness, which is the Super Intelligence that denotes Live Light to the field, which we might also call Love or Grace. In this purity, the subconscious mind dissolves and with it the dream state, as the idea of a separate self subsides with the awakening to one's self as pervasive intuitive consciousness, where thought, interpretation, conjecture, judgement and consideration and the idea of separateness have little meaning.

With the emergence of this sense of Intelligence, the atma nadi begins to pulsate incandescently with the reverberating soundless mantra "I, I, I, I, ..." automatically rejecting any images arising in the mind, with both a radical force and a sense of compassion and relinquishment for what is realized to be not Self, - not "I"

Suddenly, the Hrdayam flashes forth as Eternal Ever Abiding Self Effulgent Light that is at once all absorbing and outshining, such that it can be said that the Kundalini has become all pervasive.

This opening of the Hrdayam (felt like a sudden gravitational pull that implodes the mind, sucking in everything, dissolving the notion of time and space) can happen at any time.

Due to the longing for God, there arises an insatiable need to know and experience God, such that one will invariably begin to read a number of non-dual texts, such as the Upanishads, the Gitas, the Zen Patriarchs, the Buddhas, the Life and words of Christ and so on in a constant attempt to somehow "hear" the Truth that cannot be known ....

Suddenly The Self, which is the "I" of one's "I" sense, seems to recollect Itself, "hears" and in a sudden moment, all ones preconceptions, ideas and concepts of what the Truth might be fall away and one abides as the Singularity of the Self, unconditioned, Timeless, without cause, space-like - no body, no mind, no thoughts nor a thinker, nothing near or far. If asked "Who are you?" There will arise out of a Diamond-like density and ineffable silence, with : "I am the Truth."

The ida, pingala and sushumna are simply a mechanism within the system / field, through which the Truth manifests and prevails. When the Truth is "heard," one realizes that who one is always abides beyond and independent of the field.
