When one of the great Greek philosophers, Pythagoras, reached Egypt to enter a school - - - a secret esoteric school of mysticism, he was refused. And Pythagoras was one of the best minds ever produced. He could not understand. He applied again and again, but he was told that unless he goes through a particular training of fasting and breathing he couldn’t be allowed to enter the school.
Pythagoras is reported to have said, "I have come for knowledge, not for any sort of discipline." But the school authorities said, "We cannot give you knowledge unless you are different and, really, we are not interested in knowledge at all. We are interested in actual experience. And no knowledge is knowledge unless it is lived and experienced. So you will have to go on a forty-day fast, continuously breathing in a certain manner, with a certain awareness on certain points." There was no other way, so Pythagoras had to pass through this training. After forty days of fasting and breathing, aware, attentive, he was allowed to enter the school. It is said that Pythagoras said, "You are not allowing Pythagoras. I am a different man. I am reborn. And you were right and I was wrong. My whole standpoint was intellectual. Through this purification my center of being has changed. From the intellect it has comedown to the heart. Now I can feel things. Before this training I could only understand through the intellect, through the head. Now I can feel. Now Truth is not a concept to me, but a life. It is not going to be a philosophy, but, rather, an experience -- existential." What was that training he went through? This fifth technique was that technique that was given to Pythagoras. It was given in Egypt, but that technique is very,very old.
The technique: "Attention between eyebrows, let mind be before thought. Let form fill with breath essence to the top of the head and then shower of light."
This was the technique given to Pythagoras. Pythagoras went with this technique to Greece. And, really, he became the fountainhead, the source, of all mysticism in the West. He is the father of all gnosticism in the West. He was the real originator of sacred geometry. He developed it as fun game for exploration of divine influence on the earth. Leonardo da Vinci has been introduced to this technique and become one of the leaders of the order. Isaac Newton was also one of the initiates and leaders. His alchemical works connected to this technique was preparation to his gravity theory. Nils Bhor has used it for development of what we know today as quantum physics. In his book “What is life?” Mr. Shrodinger, Nobel prize winner, gave one of the best foundations on DNA understanding.
This technique is one of the very deep methods. Try to understand this: "Attention between the eyebrows..." Modern physiology, scientific research says that between the two eyebrows is the gland which is the very mysterious part in the body. This gland, called the pineal gland, is the third eye of the Tibetans -"Shivanetra", the eye of Shiva in the tantra. Between the two eyes there is a third eye existing, but it is non-functioning. It is there; it can function any moment. But it is not functioning naturally. You have to do something about it to open it. It is not blind. It is simply closed. This technique is to open the third eye. "Attention between the eyebrows..." Close your eyes, then focus both of your eyes just in the middle of the two eyebrows. Focus just in the: middle, with closed eyes, as if you are looking with your two eyes. Give total attention to it.
This is one of the simplest methods of being attentive. You
cannot be attentive to any other part of the body so easily. This gland absorbs
attention like anything. If you give attention to it, your both eyes become
hypnotized with the third eye. They become fixed; they cannot move. If you are
trying to be attentive to any other part of the body it is difficult. This third
eye catches attention, forces attention. It is magnet for attention. So all the
methods all over the world have used it. It is the simplest to train attention
because not only are you trying to be attentive: the gland itself helps you; it
is magnetic. Your attention is brought to it forcibly. It is absorbed.
It is said in the old tantra scriptures that for the third eye attention is
food. It is hungry; it has been hungry for lives and lives. If you pay attention
to it, it becomes alive. It becomes alive! The food is given to it. And once you
know that attention is food, only you feel that your attention is magnetically
drawn, attracted, pulled by the gland itself, attention is not a difficult thing
then. One needs only to know the right point. So just close your eyes, let your
two eyes move just in the middle, and feel the point. When you are near the
point, suddenly your eyes will become fixed. When it will be difficult to move
them, then know you have caught the right point.
“Attention between the eyebrows. Let mind be before thought..." If this attention is there, for the first time you will come to experience a strange phenomenon. For the first time you will feel thoughts running before you; you will become the witness. It is just like a film screen: thoughts are running and you are a witness. Once your attention is focused at the third eye center, you become immediately the witness of thoughts. Ordinarily you are not the witness: you are identified with thoughts. If anger is there, you become anger. If a thought moves, you are not the witness: you become one with the thought-identified and you move with it. You become the thought; you take the form of the thought. When sex is there you become sex, when anger is there you become anger, when greed is there you become greed. Any thought moving becomes identified with you. You do not have any gap between you and the thought. In this state of mind you never know Who You Are. You are only projection of your thoughts. You can not stop them. You can not control them. Your real Self is something far away of you!
But focused at the third eye, suddenly you become the witness. You become you real Self. You become the real “I am”. Through the third eye, you become the Awaken. Through the third eye, you can see thoughts running like clouds in the sky or like people moving on the street.
When you are sitting at your window looking at the sky or at people in the street: you are not identified. You are peaceful and mindful, a watcher on the hill; centered in Self. Now if anger is there, you can look at it as an object. Now you do not feel that YOU are angry. You feel that you are surrounded by anger: a cloud of anger has come around you. But you are not the anger - and if you are not that anger, anger becomes impotent. It cannot affect you; you remain untouched. The anger will come and go, and you will remain centered in yourself and your peace.
This technique is a technique of finding of the I Am Presence. "Attention between the eyebrows, let the mind be before thought": now look at your thoughts; now encounter your thoughts. "Let form fill with breath essence to the top of the head and there, shower of light": When attention is focused at the third-eye center, between the two eyebrows, two things happen. One, suddenly you become a witness. This can happen in two ways. You become a witness, and you will be cantered at the third eye.
Try to be a witness. Whatsoever is happening, try to be a witness. You are ill, the body is aching and painful, you leave misery and suffering, whatsoever: be a witness to it. Whatsoever is happening, do not identify yourself with it. Be the “I am Presence” -- an observer. Then if I am Presence becomes possible, you will be focused in the third eye.
Secondly, the vice versa is the case also. If you are focused in the third eye, you will become a I am Presence. These two things are part of one. So try first thing: by being centered in the third eye there will be the arising of the Self. Now you can encounter your thoughts. This will be the first thing. And the second thing will be that now you can feel the subtle, delicate vibration of all energies in your body. Now you can feel the vibrations, waveforms and energy of breathing, that deep essence of breathing.
First try to understand what is meant by "Let: form" by "the essence of breathing". While you are breathing, you are not only breathing air. Science says you are breathing only air -- just oxygen, hydrogen, and other gasses in there combined form of air. They say you are breathing "air”! But tantra says that air is just the vehicle, not the real thing. You are breathing "prana"- vitality. Air is just the medium; prana is the content. You are breathing prana - not only air.
Modern science is still not able to find out whether there is something like prana. But some researchers have felt something mysterious. Breathing is not simply air. Many modern researchers have felt it also. In particular, one name is to be mentioned. Wilhelm Reich, a German psychologist who called it "orgone energy". It is the same thing as prana. He says that while you are breathing, air is just the container, and there is a mysterious content, which can be, called "orgon" or "prana" or "elan vital". But that is very subtle. Really, it is not material. Air is the material thing: the container is material. But something subtle, non-material, is moving through it.
Reich has explored in detail influence of this energy to emotional life. He found that people with distracted energy flow have emotional and sexual difficulties. He developed various breathing and body exercises to facilitate free flow and prana absorption. He realized, thing well known to tantrics, that if you give yourself free flow and sufficient prana accumulation you will enter into the ecstasy, cosmic orgasm and divine bliss. Therefore he called this energy “orgasmic energy”. This is the best healing method ever developed.
Wilhelm Reich did many experiments, but he was thought to be a
mad man. Science has its own superstitions, and science is a very orthodox
thing. Science cannot feel yet that there is any thing more than air, but India
has been experimenting with it for centuries.
You may have heard or you have even seen someone going into Samadhi (Cosmic
Consciousness) -- underground Samadhi for days together, with no air
penetrating. One man went into such underground Samadhi in Egypt, in 1880, for
forty years. Those who had buried him all died, because he was to come out of
his Samadhi in 1920, forty years afterwards. In 1920. no one believed that they
would find him alive, but he was found alive. He lived afterwards for ten years
mare. He had become completely pale, but he was alive. And there was no
possibility of air reaching to him.
Medical doctors and others asked him, "What is the secret of it?"
He said, "We do not know. We only know this, that prana can enter and flow
anywhere." Air cannot penetrate, but prana can penetrate. Once you know
that you can suck prana directly, without the container, then you can go into
Samadhi for centuries even.
By being focused in the third eye, suddenly you can observe the real essence of breath - not breath, but the real essence of breath - prana. And if you can observe the essence of breath, prana, you are on the point from where the jump, the breakthrough, happens.
The technique says, "Let form fill with breath essence to the top of the head..." And when you come to feel the essence of breathing, prana, just imagine that your head is filled with it. Just imagine. No need of any effort. You just need to gently invoke the thought. I will explain to you how manifestation works. When you are focused at the third eye center, imagine, and the thing happens -- then and there. Now your imagination is just important. You go on imagining, and nothing happens. But sometimes, unknowingly, in ordinary life also, things happen. You are imagining about your friend, and suddenly there is a ring on the phone. You say it is a coincidence that the friend has called you. Sometimes your imagination works just like coincidence. But whenever this happens, now try and remember, and analyze the whole thing. Whenever it happens that you feel your imagination has become actual, go inside and observe. Somewhere your attention must have been near the third eye. Whenever this coincidence happens, it is not a coincidence. It looks that way because you do not know the secret science. Your mind must have moved unknowingly near the third-eye center. If your attention is in the third eye, just gentle tough is enough to create any phenomenon.
This technique says that when you are focused between the eyebrows and you can feel the very essence of breathing. Now imagine that this essence is filling your whole head particularly the top of the head, the "Crown Chakra" (the highest psychic center). And the moment you imagine, it will be filled. "There at the top of the head, shower of light": This prana essence is showering from the top of your head as light. And it WILL begin to shower, and under the shower of light you will be refreshed, reborn, completely' new. It will start the new recharging of your dormant parts of DNA and it will start creation of your Light Body. At this moment your Third Eye will activate your Crown Chakra. Pineal gland will send the an order to Pituitary gland for production of Divine hormones. Some specific cells need to awaken in your Pituitary gland and they will start with production of Divine Hormones. This cells were active before your were born, during your life in mother womb. Then your parana and kundalini energy were flowing freely, you were most of the time in state of Cosmic Samadhi. You were able to leave the body and travel with your soul wherever you like. Have you ever seen picture of 5-6 month old fetus? They look as the most spiritual beings on Earth and really they are. In Vedic literature this Divine hormone is called “Soma - the man into God transforming substance”. Soma will activate your dormant parts of DNA and transform you into the Immoralist with Light Body. That is what inner re-birth means.
So two things: first, focused at the third eye, your thoughts becomes potent, powerful. That is why so much insistence has been given on purity: before doing these practices, be pure. Purity is not a moral concept. Purity is significant because if you are focused at the third eye and your mind is impure, your imagination can become dangerous: dangerous to you, dangerous to others. If you are thinking to murder someone, if this idea is in the mind, just imagining may kill the man. That is why so much insistence on being pure first. Pythagoras was told to go through fasting, through particular breathing -- this breathing, because impure you will have lot of difficulties to reach this point and then it could be dangerous.
You might have observed someone being hypnotized. When someone is hypnotized, the hypnotist can say anything and immediately the hypnotized person follows. Howsoever absurd the order, howsoever irrational or even impossible, the hypnotized person follows it. What is happening? This technique. It is at the base of all hypnotism. Whenever someone is being hypnotized he is told to focus his eyes at a particular point on some light, some dot on the wall, or anything or on the eyes of the hypnotist.
When you focus your eyes at any particular point, within three
minutes your inner attention begins to flow toward the third eye. At the moment
your inner attention begins to flow toward the third eye, your face begins to
change and the hypnotist knows when your face begins to change. Suddenly your
face loses all vitality. It becomes dead, as if deeply asleep. Immediately the
hypnotist knows when your face has lost the lush, the aliveness. It means that
now attention is being sucked by the third-eye center. Your face has become
dead; the whole energy is going toward the third-eye center.
Now the hypnotist immediately knows that anything-said will happen. He says,
"Now you are falling into a deep sleep": you will fall immediately. He
says, "Now you have all connecting Cosmic Conscious": you will have
Cosmic Conscious immediately. Now anything can be done. If he says, "Now
invoke and channel Holly Spirit of your Guardian Angel," you will start to
channel them. You will begin to behave like a your Guardian Angel, you will
begin to talk like your Guardian Angel. Your gestures will change. Your
unconscious will take the order and will create the actuality. If you are
suffering from a disease, now it can be ordered that the disease has
disappeared, and it will disappear.
Or, any new disease can be created. Just by putting an ordinary stone from the street on your hand, the hypnotist can say, "This is fire on your hand." Yon will feel intense heat; your hand will get burned - not only in the mind, but actually. Actually your skin will get burned. You will have a burning sensation. What is happening? There is no fire. There is just an ordinary stone - cold. How? How does this burning happen. You are focused at the third-eye center, your imagination is being given suggestions by the hypnotist, and they are being actualized.
This happens because of the third eye. In the third eye, thought and manifestation are not two things. Imagination is the fad. Imagine, and it is so. There is no gap between dream and reality. There is no gap between dream and reality I dream, and it will become real. That is why great saints has said that this whole world is nothing but the dream of the Divine - the DREAM of the Divine! This is because the Divines is centered in the third eye -- always, eternally. So whatsoever the Divine dreams, it becomes real. If you are also centered in the third eye, whatsoever you dream will become real.
One day Sariputta came to Buddha. He meditated deeply, then many things, many visions, started coming, as it happens with anyone who goes into deep meditation. He began to see heavens, he began to see hells, and he began to see angels, gods, and demons. And they were actual, so real, that he came again to Buddha to tell him that such and such a vision had come to him. But Buddha said, "It is nothing -- just dreams. Just dreams" But Sariputta said, "They are so real. How can I say that they are dreams? When I see a flower in my vision it is more real than any flower in the world. The fragrance is there; I can touch it. When I see you," he said to Buddha, "it is not as real. That flower is more real than your being here just before me, so how can I differentiate what is real and what is dream " Buddha said, "Now that you are centered in the third eye, dream and reality are one. Whatsoever you are dreaming will be real, and vice versa also." For one who is centred in the third eye, dreams will become real and the whole reality will become just a dream, because when your dream can become real, you know there is no basic difference between dream and reality. So when your guru says that this whole world is just maya, a dream of the Divine, it is not a theoretical proposition, it is not a philosophical statement. It is, rather, the inner experience of one who is focused in the third eye.
Here is one big truth about all prophecies and changelings. One who is making the reading is also creating the result simultaneously. Therefore purity is important. Impure channels will bring negative prophecies and give them energy for manifestation. For instance, Nostradamus was one very impure prophet. He created negative energy active against lot of people until today and lot of people who belief in his prophecies will experience also results, even today. Therefore in some cases when I see that my reading can influence the future on the negative way I will refuse to make it. In many cases instead of giving you description of actual events I will give you counseling and direction to more love, light and happiness. This planet, Earth, is planet of Free Will. You can accept it or reject it. If you are afraid of it you can use you Third Eye and change it or ask me to do this for you.
The truth is that there is no destiny and karma when you have activated your Crown Chakra. Even for lot of people without activation there is not 100% exact destiny. There is only greater or smaller probability for manifestation of something. What we call miracle is manifestation of something with small probability. When you open your Third Eye the manifestation of miracles will become usual thing for you.
Called by any name, Tasseomancy, Tasseography. What I like
about Tea and Coffee Reading is it's gracious nature. Unlike other forms of
divination, Tea Leaf Reading involves a lovely social ritual. In order to read
the tea leaves or grind coffee, one must be served a cup of tea, and as everyone
knows drinking cannot be rushed. Tea or coffee is served steaming hot. It is
sipped, time slows down, and you relax. Then the tea leaves are pondered for
signs of what the future might bring. For hundreds of years this reading has
been a common practice in the many countries and city parlors of homes. This
kind of reading is very common in Bosnia. I have watched the old ladies there
how they do the Cup Reading, as one divine social ritual. I am sure, this
moments of relaxation and reconnection with Higher Unity was the big support on
the way through their stormy past.
Yes, Cup Reading is one of those pleasant pastimes that we are in danger of
losing. Some say it was the invention of the commercial tea bag and espresso
coffee that sealed the fate of this Reading. That may be true, I'd say the tea
bag represents how we've allowed our desire for convenience to replace deeper,
intimate experiences. But there is always hope. Just as our lifestyles are
simply a collection of choices, we can always make different choices. We can
choose to spend more quiet time with our friends and family. We can purchase
tins of loose tea and grind coffee. And we can ponder the patterns in the
bottoms of our tea cups. We can relax and enjoy life.
You will only find a handful of sites on the Internet pertaining to Tea Leaf and
Coffee Reading, but what is there is quite charming. For general information Cup
Reading and Golden Tips are will suit your purposes. Quite possibly the reason
why Tea Leaf Reading is so poorly represented in the cyberworld is that psychics
have not figured out how to transmit the image of your tea cup via modem. For
the most part Tea Leaf Reading remains a one-to-one experience and for that I am
glad.
How To Read from Cup:
1. Prepare a cup of tea loose tea leaves or grind coffee. Select a tea or coffee
that has character in terms of texture, flavour, or history. Plan on using a
rounded teaspoon per person. Make it right in the cup and watch it the colour
deepen. It's a different experience than brewing tea or coffee in a pot or using
a filter bag.
2. Use a white china cup with no inside pattern or decoration. The exception to
this is a cup which is made expressively for tasseomancy. It is white but it has
symbols of various kinds inside the cup. Sometimes you can find these special
cups at tea specialty shops or at antique stores. They are fun, but not really
necessary.
3. Sip and enjoy your cup to the fullest, leaving only a small amount of liquid.
Consider your question mentally. Ask simply for spiritual guidance. Holding the
cup in your left hand and the handle right in front of you, swirl the liquid
three times clockwise, sweeping the leaves up to the rim of the cup without
spilling it.
4. Invert the cup into the saucer, holding it for a count of seven and letting
the liquid drain away. Turn the cup right side up. Empty your mind of all
concerns. Relax and start to observe the cup with unfocused sight centered in
the bottom of cup. This sight is very important because of need for your Third
Eye activation. After the few minutes of unfocused observation images in the cup
will start to discover themselves. You can get insights in form of pictures,
emotions, smells and sounds. This is the best way to interpret the mysterious
images that have formed. You can find books or web sites with symbols
interpretation , but they have been made by amatures looking to someone who is
using his Third Eye in interpretation. One very good method for Third Eye
activation is disclosed at my web site http://awakenone.freeservers.com
And Tips Concerning Interpretation
Most people wonder if they can interpret symbols in the cup. I'd say it's as
simple as seeing forms and pictures in the clouds. So looking into cup you will
notice that some the symbols resemble various items. They might be geometric
shapes or forms found in nature. An number, alphabet letter, or astrological
symbol could be looking up at you. After you've recognised the symbols, your
Third Eye will help you to interpret them. It is not important to memorise the
list of meaning if you can use your Third Eye. Therefore, if you were able to
observe professional reader who use the Third Eye then you were surprised with
his/hers different explanations of similar symbols.
