What keeps the normal human psyche from functioning at more than three to five percent of its potential capacity? The answer can be found in one word —ego. Imagine what it would be like to live only in the kitchen of a I5-room house. The life-giving connection between heaven and earth is the cross, the world-axis on either side of which two gigantic vines spiral upwards. The work has a similar sense to that behind the Indian Kundalini and the two energy-spirals that twist around it in opposite directions.
You have now the secret key to unlocking the simple truth, what you choose to do with it is up to you. The Key to the Great Secret about the Freemasonry letter G actually mean something else. Another secret the Freemasonry and Illuminati keeping for themselves is: The Holy Grail is not a royal or holy bloodline. The Holy Grail is indeed a receptacle, and a receptacle for containing royal or holy blood, but the Holy Grail is not a physical object and the royal holy blood is not real blood. Royal holy blood is available to all of us; this is a royal holy blood that can flow through everyone’s spiritual veins. Royal holy blood is the same substance produced by stage three of the meditation technique.
The aspirants to higher consciousness who believe that they can force the gates of heaven open with this or that method do not realize the magnitude of the task they undertake .
Even if it is possible to raise the kundalini up the sushumna through the seven chakras to the top of the head — so what? Raising the energy is one thing,, but keeping it up is an entirely different matter. Swami Sivananda Radha reminds us:
A major misconception about kundalini is to think that, once it has been raised, kundalini will stay there. Like any spiritual flame in oneself, unless it is nourished and attended to, unless it dominates one’s life, kundalini will simply disappear like water in quicksand.
Many practitioners of Kundalini Yoga report having experienced the signs and symptoms of kundalini. A good percentage of these same practitioners also speak of enhanced intellectual performance, increased physical stamina, awakened creativity, various psychic experiences, and minor psychic powers, not to mention a sense of personal well-being and expanded awareness. Unfortunately, however, very few practitioners seem to be stabilized in these high-performance states.
In the terms of Abraham Maslow, they have achieved peak experiences but have not reached higher plateaus of performance. Many are like travelers who undertake an incredible journey, visit some exciting places, have a few unusual experiences, and then return home to tell their tales.
These travelers may be changed in some subtle way, but they are still far from abiding in the place to which they have journeyed. Gopi Krishna calls kundalini “the biological basis of genius.” Yet few students of kundalini yoga seem to be geniuses, and, of the recognized geniuses in the world, fewer still have ever heard of kundalini.
Perhaps most geniuses have tapped into this well-spring of creativity unknowingly and are, in a sense, being used by the serpent power as a conduit for releasing creative intelligence into the world. To attempt to harness kundalini to produce personal genius, however, seems a dangerous and ultimately self-defeating endeavor.
The house might have the capacity to serve a myriad of functions — as a home for a large family, as professional offices, as a museum. even as a bed-and-breakfast inn. But, if you were to restrict yourself to the kitchen, the rest of the building would fall into a shameful at of disrepair.
Many of us neat this human incarnation in a similar manner. Restricting ourselves to the domain of ego, we severely limit our functional capacity. We needn’t destroy the ego as a point of reference., actualize our potential any more than we have to destroy the kitchen of our house to walk into the dining room.
A chakra, like a revolving doorway, may be a portal to another domain. But just as Archie Bunker had his favorite chair — the spot where he preferred and sometimes demanded to sit — we too return again and again to the comfortable, well-worn perspective of ego.
The awakening of kundalini is a preliminary sop on a long, often arduous evolutionary journey. Rewards may come and go. and some —such as heightened mental abilities, increased empathy. healing powers, intuitive realizations — may become stabilized as spontaneously appearing skills. Yet these gifts are like so many souvenirs of the trip.
Ultimately, one will not receive the benefits of kundalini if one undertakes the journey for the sake of personal gain or self-aggrandizement. Rather, one most be driven to it by a deep in motivation to experience Oneness more fully. The subtle psychology postulated by Kundalini Yoga may well be just a roadmap of the territory, a particular system for viewing and understanding the human psychic terrain that is no more or less real than scores of odor mystical systems. But, if the journey is seen as a natural, evolutionary, participatory process of being and hemming, it makes little difference whether kundalini is -actual” or -metaphorical.” For the journey itself is a powerful and undeniable reality.
The late Swami Muktananda spread the teachings of Siddha yoga through his international tours and through the many ashrams and meditation centers founded by his disciples worldwide. Siddha yoga. the path of perfection.” seeks through the unfolding of the serpent power to bring about the actualization of the Divine Self. the innate God Nature. Here again. shaklipat is the prime means of awakening kundalini. A touch, a glance, a word, or even a thought from the guru may spread the holy spark that starts the evolutionary process. As a result. Siddha yoga is primarily a guru-based path.
The guru is seen as the physical embodiment of God-in-the-world and as such is the object of supreme devotion through chanting. service, and other bhakti practices. But the guru is also seen as equivalent to one’s true Self, so that guru worship is a means, an upaya. (or awakening the Divine within. Om namah shivaya is the mantra used in the meditation practices of Siddha yoga.
Though the mantra literally speaks of bowing to Shiva, Swami Muktananda reminds students: “Sri Guru. mantra. mantra-deity. and you — all are one. Repeat the mantra with this awareness.” The mantra is seen as a vehicle that imparts the grace of the guru and the guru’s lineage and thus produces a natural-al, meditative state of consciousness. Perhaps the best-known of the passive/sur-render approaches to kundalini, Siddha yoga seeks not to actively awaken kundalini, but rather to allow it to awaken. Through meditation. mantra, chanting. and service to the guru the disciple becomes a fertile field for the growth of kundalini. Although the grace of the guru is seen as the supreme means by which kundalini is awakened and realized, Siddha students are continually reminded that the Divine lies within.
Thus Swami Muktananda instructs his disciples: Kneel to your Own self. I honor and worship your own Being. Chant the mantra always going on within you. Meditate on your own self. God dwells within you as you.
Perhaps even more than most teachers of Kundalini Yoga, Swami Chetanananda emphasizes an integration of the spiritual and material aspects of life: We simply take each and every act in front of us as an opportunity to explore the very substance of life. Sitting in meditation and working in the world merge because it is that same quality of life that we explore directly when we sit and explore again in every action we undertake. Do so and you will elevate your understanding. Do so, and every action will reflect the purity of your heart and the maturity of your intelligence.
In a single movement, a cosmic panorama is sketched from the Creation to the Salvation: a tree grows above the spring in the Garden of Eden, and the cross is overarched by the heavens. As the poet Hippolytus of Rome put it in around 200 CE: ‘This tree, wide as the heavens itself, has grown up into heaven from the earth. It is an immortal growth and towers twixt heaven and earth. It is the fulcrum of all things and the place where they are at rest. It is the foundation of the round world, the centre of the cosmos. . . . It touches the highest summits of heaven and makes the earth firm beneath its foot, and it grasps the middle regions between them with its immeasurable arms.
. . . O Crucified One, thou leader of the mystical dances! . . . O this divine Pascha that passes from heaven to earth and rises up again to heaven! 0 this new feast of all beings! 0 joy of the universe . . . exquisite delight by which .. . life returns to all and the gates of heaven are opened! God appeared as a man and man rose up as God . . .
” The life-giving connection between heaven and earth is the cross, the world-axis on either side of which two gigantic vines spiral upwards. The work has a similar sense to that behind the Indian Kundalini and the two energy-spirals that twist around it in opposite directions. The double spiral at San Clemente unites Christ’s sacrifice on the cross with (re)creating, life- and joy-giving, and redeeming divine forces.
The truth is that we are all already “born” ” spiritually dead” from birth. We are all dead in this “world of the dead” because we are each born with a dormant kundalini, with the ego-consciousness in control.
This “dormant” kundalini (the real you) is simply a seed of God’s consciousness. To an immortal being, unconsciousness, (or dormancy) is as dead as it gets. In this dormant state, we act as merely a battery which powers the body.
We are slaves to the body, as a battery is a slave to what it powers. The body (your vessel which you power) has its own preprogrammed insatiable physical desires (“sins”) which constantly distract our attention and constantly try to get us to expend our energy on pursuing its desires.
Only by identifying those desires as they are can one become strong against their distractions. Only once you’ve overcome the desires and influences “of the flesh”, can you learn to focus on your one true spiritual goal, fully awakening (spiritual consciousness= heaven), and then awakening others. The most important thing to remember is: to be physical is to be “dead”. Only by overcoming the desire to remain physical, can one hope to overcome death. “Escape” “the World”, your “life” depends on it. We are all in “Heaven” right now; we are just unconscious of it. God (our spiritual father) wants us all to simply “wake up”.
GOING TO “HEAVEN’, THE PRACTICAL APPROACH
1.What is “Heaven”?
Heaven, Enlightenment, Nirvana, these are all different names to describe the same understanding. A final blessed state, free from ignorance, desire, and suffering. “Heaven” to a battery is to be free of that which drains its energy. “Heaven” is in actuality a state of full spiritual consciousness. It is to; exist without the body, in a state of pure transcendental consciousness.
2. What is “Hell”?
Hell is spiritual unconsciousness. It is to be used as a battery to power the body with no spiritual will power to control it. To be trapped in a body controlled by the ego-consciousness. Ironically we choose to be in the unconscious (battery) state. It is a choice we are unaware of, yet we make it still because it is what the ego desires.
3. Want to “Go to”… “Heaven”?
Understand first that “heaven” is not a place. Since it is not a place, one cannot “go” there. Rather, it is a shift in the nature of one’s consciousness to the point that it is no longer sullied by the taint of matter. It is to be free of the body. The physical world is the “waiting room” for “heaven”, when you are called, don’t fight it. This is what entheogens do, they allow one to experience temporarily what happens when you and your body separate so that you can get used to it. The truth is, no one can tell you “how” to “go to heaven”, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be learned.
It is well-known to followers of the mystery of Rennes le Chateau, and it has been discussed many times previously by experts on the subject, the French word for Holy Grail is sangreal, but in old French it was separated thus, san greal. The transposition of the letter G gives sang real or blood royal, royal blood.
As we have seen, this simple play on words is the typical hallmark of a Gnostic at work. The secret placed right in front of our eyes, but at the same time hidden. The observation hat a royal blood that was holy, must belong to Jesus Christ, and therefore, the holy bloodline must be Jesus’ direct descendants.
The hypothesis – Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, was that the mystery of Rcnncs lc Chateau contained the revelation that there is a holy bloodline descending directly from Jesus through Mary Magdalene and exists to this day in secret.
Dan Brown also had a best-selling novel based on this premise (2003), but the holy bloodline hypothesis was just another red herring.
Royal holy blood is available to all of us; this is a royal holy blood that can flow through everyone’s spiritual veins. Royal holy blood is the same substance produced by stage three of the meditation technique.
A spiritual substance that condenses out of the air we breathe to combine with our emotional and sexual energy, our vitality; to produce a new substance, royal and holy blood. Once it is produced by stage three of the process, royal and holy blood percolates up to the sun centre, where it passes through the eye of the needle to the heart centre, where, symbolically, it acts like a spear piercing the heart, which symbolically bleeds, filling the receptacle in our spiritual chest.
The spiritual receptacle located in our spiritual chest is the Holy Grail and the substance that fills it is royal and holy blood. The Holy Grail is the receptacle and the royal holy blood it contains. The Holy Grail also refers to the whole process (Fig, 6.5). This is the pirate treasure you seek, a treasure that was there for you all along, contained in your chest, your ‘treasure chest’ of course, those Gnostic rascals! The parable about a camel having more chance of passing through the eye of a needle than a rich man has of entering the Kingdom of God refers to stage three of the process.
The camel represents the tamed animal energy carried on the reflected light, and the eye of the needle is that tiny point, which leads to the passageway, the gates of heaven through which it has to be squeezed, to reach the heart. Le Pique in the landscape can now be squeezed, to reach the heart. Le Pique in the landscape can now be seen in symbolic terms as the eye of the needle, reaching out to God.
Le Pique is the most holiest of locations in the world, reaching out to God on a horizontal as well as a vertical plane as all true churches should. In reaching the heart centre, one really is entering the Kingdom of God. Royal and Holy Blood is the substance produced in stage three of the meditation process, it is the same substance as Kundalini, as Rosicrucian’s dew, orgone and Alchemists’ mercury. There is another feature of the Holy Grail that proves its authenticity; Gnostics were able to drink from the Holy Grail because only they knew how to fill it, traditionally the Holy Grail is the only chalice that fills from the stem.
Completion of stage three of the process, drinking from the Holy Grail, bestows on one immortality. The meaning contained in Poussin and Teniers paintings, in Henry Lincoln’s pentacle in the landscape and the secret of Rennes lc Chateau, is the revelation that the Holy Grail is a real phenomenon, and the paintings show how it is possible to gain access to it by way of a secret meditation technique or method of prayer.
The secret is not a physical treasure, but a spiritual treasure, just as Plantard said. This treasure is there for all of us, it is a gift from God, the gift of one’s immortal self.
Only you have to take it, nobody can do it for you. You have to open the door yourself. You have the key to do it now. Only you can open the door.
As a general overview of the objective of the whole spiritual process, the terms spirit and soul are a good example of the sense of oneness that is achievable. The terms spirit and soul are often used interchangeably as if describing the same thing. They are actually polar but complementary opposites described in Gnostic literature as sun and moon, king and queen, salt and sulphur, prince and princess, the lion and the lamb, Adam and Eve, Yin and Yang. The soul is associated with the lower body, below the diaphragm, and centred in the lower navel, the water centre of the chakra system The diaphragm is an interesting muscle, not only does it regulate one’s breathing, but it is also the main tool the ego uses to control our emotional responses, by suppressing our breathing. The diaphragm is shaped like a lid, and that is exactly its function, it `keeps a lid’ on all our emotions. The diaphragm is also the great divide between the physical world and the spiritual world. Above the diaphragm, in spiritual terms, lies the Kingdom of God. The diaphragm not only acts as a barrier, but also as the gatekeeper to this kingdom.
The diaphragm is, physically and literally, the actual `gates of heaven’, and the only way through those gates is stage three of the process, by squeezing your inner reflected light through the eye of the needle, symbolically like a spear, to pierce your spiritual heart , and create the royal and holy blood. Before the Holy Grail, Gnostics used Gabriel’s Horn to refer to the secret process in just the same way, e.g. something produced out of the air (sound), by one’s breath, that has to pass through a narrow passage (the horn), before it is amplified to make music. So when Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, ‘the walls came tumbling down’.
The spirit is associated with the upper body above the diaphragm, and is centred in the brow and is represented by an upward pointing triangle. These two forces strive in the direction they point, the soul to feel grounded and secure, and the spirit to reach out and soar like a bird.
Two opposite and yet complementary natures contained within us, the male principle and the female principle, the anima and the animus, the yin and yang. Stage three of the process unites these opposing forces into one sense of harmony and wholeness. Using the basic technique, the spirit is cast down from the brow to the feet, and reflected back up to unite with the soul located in the moon centre.
The spirit then lifts the soul up to the sun centre where it is fixed at the centre of the bodymind, point B in the paintings, which is the eye of the needle. The spirit lifts and supports the soul in a balanced equilibrium, combining to produce a new sense of self at the centre of the bodymind, your new centre of consciousness.
The two triangles lock together to form an emblem of wholeness and symbol of oneness with God, as the Star of David (Fig. 6.10). For a male it means embracing the feminine side of his nature and for a female embracing the masculine side of hers.
