I have just one question:
If ecstatsy is produced by the resistance caused by prana moving through unpurified nadis, and enlightenment is produced by the merging of ecstasy and bliss, then how can someone become enlightened once the nadis are purified?

Hi Yogani,

Well, it has been just over two years since I started this thread, and things are working out as you said they would. The ecstasy in my body is almost gone these days, even though as much energy as before is moving through my system. It is as if my inside is just empty space, and there is nothing to resist the flow. I have to admit, I had gotten quiet used to the ecstasy, and it seems strange living without it.

It is important to note that energy experiences in the crown area (usually mirrored ecstatically body-wide) are caused by "friction" from remaining impurities in the nervous system. So the energy symptoms themselves (including ecstasy) can be taken as a caution that there is more work to be done.

The big rushes of ecstasy have to do with purification. It is the fun part of house cleaning, but it is still house cleaning. In time, there will be less friction in the nervous system and the ecstasy will become refined, like a quiet divine smile forever radiating outward from inside you -- very peaceful and very powerful.

Hi Christi:

Ecstasy become refined, less symptomatic, blending with the bliss of inner silence. That is the merging.

Also, the process of purification and opening continues through karma yoga, i.e., service. There are still plenty of obstructions out there, and that is where the energy will flow naturally ecstatically. It occurs through the outpouring of divine love. It flows through each of us into our surroundings in its own way. Samyama (core and cosmic) plays a key role in this also. So does self-inquiry.

Just one more thing. I used to have a strong current of energy which flowed up the centre of my body from the root chakra up to the top of my head. It caused mulabhanda and udyanabhanda to be automatic most of the time (and often sambhavi). Now it is hardly noticeable. Is this flow of energy also part of the purification process which goes (like ecstasy) when the purification process in the body is largely done?

And what about the Om sound? Does that vanish as well?

From there it goes outward into action for others, as mentioned. In that sense, the purification process is never done, not until we have become purified everywhere, to the furtherest reaches of the cosmos. It is not so difficult, since mind via samyama travels infinitely faster than the speed of light. Move over Einstein...

Thanks Yogani. I had thought for a long time that mind was faster than light. I had never heard anyone mention it though.

was that a glimpse of what enlightenment is and can that state stay with the person 24\7, and can we share others a glimpse once we achieve such state of being?

I think it will be a while before I am zooming around the galaxy purifying every nook and crany as I go. So there is obviously still a lot of work to do here first.

Thanks again for the advice.

The nice thing about it is that we don't have to zoom anywhere. We are already there.

Where do we go when we do group samyama healing? Does it matter where in the world the person is? Nope. We just dial up the name, and we are immediately there, collectively in that case.

So, when we are dialing up "galaxy," "cosmos" and "unbounded awareness" in cosmic samyama, there is no place to go. We are there already. Samyama is about awakening what already is, and it is all here where we are right now. Stillness in action.

The guru is in you.
