Go within—or go without.


A common mystery is: Why cannot I follow my own good advice? Why am I a victim to my monkey mind?

Perhaps, at the moment of action, we lose the power of our inspiration. Instead of the kundalini remaining at the third eye (the source of vision and willpower), we let energy flow to the lower chakras (the place of fear, doubt, worry, etc.).

Another explanation is that we do not meditate deeply enough. How much the ego is absorbed by light during meditation determines how well we do in the world. The higher our peak during meditation, the higher will be our low point.

If we cannot pierce the veil of inner darkness, then we can contemplate one divine idea or concentrate on one object. A simple exercise is to meditate with half--open eyes and gaze upon a candle flame. No matter what we do, we learn to do it well. We open the third eye until it sheds light upon everything that it gazes upon.

Another exercise is to sit with half-open eyes and watch the second hand of a clock. When you reach the theta and delta states (Week 4), the hand will appear to slow down. That is when the logical mind will jump in, fire up the neurons and say, "Wow!" That is the moment the second hand will appear to speed up.

When the dove of white light descends upon your inner vision, close your eyes and bathe yourself in light.

Mirror, Mirror

Experience the ecstasy of your soul as the bliss of your body.


While meditating, notice that unconscious or unfocused thoughts push away light. Such thoughts are mirrors of limited realities. Do not analyze the thoughts or astral pictures of the thoughts. Simply relax into the brightest light of your inner vision. You strengthen your ability to live in the present by burning away the illusion of past and future.

If you can hold a vision directly before your third eye in love and serenity, then it may be an inspiration from your soul. Otherwise, the visions are astral ripples clouding light.

This is a treasure map. Your Heart is the gold.

Try this experiment. With your third eye open, simply substitute all limiting pictures for uplifting ones. You intuitively know whether the auric picture is light and free, or a burden. Notice that you do this naturally and effortlessly when in a state of grace.

This is a practical application of the open third eye, and why it is important to put spiritual growth ahead of psychic powers. With confused motivations, the power of the third eye backfires. As the kundalini ascends to the higher chakras, the more powerful become your thoughts. So be careful what you wish for. Better yet:

Stay surrendered in the Heart--beyond all mirrors.
