The Key is to establish the link between you and the Sun

[Sharing Lights]

Sharing Lights, you had brought up some points about the sun being the source of many things...

***

I only began.


I see that it, the material Universe is coming from the Sun as well.

You put me in awe by what you see and from where derive as, obviously can't quote what I have not written.



I am not going to get into the concepts of the "Great Central Sun", yet I am aware of this, and accert that it (the Great Centeral Sun) is the point of origin of the manifest Universe, yet God is it's point of Origin. Yet this is a "scientific" discussion, so...

Self-contradiction.
If God is the point of origin that means that God himself came into being at some time as origin implies a fixed time - a beginning-"origin."

There was void and suddenly God appears and, suddenly the Universe began at that Origin.

What kind of God is he/she then?



***

As a prolepsis & very simple illustration of the whole principle that i am going to explain, is to observe h2o molecules (water).

When the temprature (atomic vibration) is high, the h2o would be called "steam" (gas), as the vibration lowers, the "steam" becomes "water" (liquid), as the vibration lowers further it becomes "ice" (solid). This all has to do with the speed that the electrons in the hydrogen and oxygen atoms orbit the nucleus.

***

So?
What you do now is called bringing valid scientific examples into the discussion by unrelated factors with an attempt to impress.
What that has to do with the discussion?

Let's bring the issue of crocodiles being able to control the temperature of their eggs so that the former can control the male-female ratio as that depends on the temperature.
It may be an interesting scientific fact but what that has to do with the discussing?




That the Sun gave birth to the planets was not a point I am in disagreement with.

Now, I am getting religious:
"Jesus, how can you miss the whole point that I broke down by fact the idea that the Sun gave birth to us?
We are made of the Sun's elements, literally.
Whatever is in it is in us.

(PS. I do not call you Jesus.)

And I comprehend it thusly:

You just proved otherwise.


As the particals that compose what is called "sunlight" move away from the source, the electrons orbiting the nuculises of the atoms begin to slow their orbit. The speed of orbit of the electrons could be called the "atomic vibration".

When a person gets away from a simple concept (as we are made of the same elements as the Sun) into extra details meant to impress readers, that shows that deceptive tactics are used in order to cover up the inability to stay on the main issue.
My strong opinion based on the observations.


They, the atoms, then begin to quagulate into the basic elements & molecules forming fine gas & dust.


These gas & dust particals further quagulate and densify into heaver gasses & denser dusts and more complex molicules and as these begins to densify, they are pushed further from the sun.

I bet volumes could be written on that.

As the substances further distance from the source, the vibration lowers even further and more quagulation occures.

Picture, at this point, a "ball" of gas & dust spinning and orbiting the Sun at a distance of within 100 miles and other gasses and dust particals moving further out from the sun to join this quagulating spining accumulation of atoms.

And small intestine continue into the large intestine, which becomes colon.
Furthermore, the .....
I could write volumes on that too...



The suns energy is actualy pushing this denser mass away from it, not pulling it towards it and the denser the mass gets, the further it is pushed away. Due to the long observations of the Moon of Earth, many theories likening a "ball on a string" have been irronioussly applied to the planets.

While the "ball on a string" principle can be seen in the relationship of the moons of planets, it is not seen when observing the relationship of the planets to the Sun. This is due to the fact that, unlike the Sun, the planets are not expelling such a massive and constant force. It is this "force" that the plantes "float" upon.

Now, I must now re-introduce the ball-on-a-string theory to some degree, there is also an attration of the planets to the Sun... kind of like a love hate relationship...


Pard me for interrupting again, what that has to do with you making claims on Aivanhov's behalf and altering my meaning, failing optics and logic, and ignoring my statement that we and the Sun are made of the same elements, and, therefore, it Si crucial to us to establish the connection with the Sun, as we can learn to draw on its energy and gain what=tis called paranormal powers.

The last part, I didn't discuss yet, as I have to answer you copying the textbook of physics of the fifth grade in European schools.
I am not sure which grade it would be in the US as I only rely on the knowledge and logical conclusions.

The part of the planets that remains like the sun causes the law of "like attracts like" to draw the planet back to the sun, but the denser matter is pushed away.

A quick look at the experiment of the vacume that has the flow of air reversed and then a ping pong ball placed on top of the exhaust hole is a good illustration of cause of the "floating" and "spining" principle.

Now granted, the word "ball" is not the best word to use to describ the mass of gas and dust at this point in the planets birth, yet for lack of a better word, and, what it will eventualy solidify into, I choose the word "ball".

As this gasous dust ball moves further and accumulated more mass (more atoms moving away from the sun and lovering in vibration), we begin to observe liquid forming, and finaly what is called "solid" particals begin to form.

Now we have a ball of gas, liquid, and solid particals. ( As many know, when the trempreture of any solid reaches a certian point, it will turn to liquid and then to dust and vaper. Your small atomic explosions have proven this on a micro-cosmic scale.)

The spining of the ball is cause by the flow of the sunlight passed the surface of the mass.

This process of quagulation, distancing & solidification continues untill eventualy the mass of gasous liquid molten matter begins to form a crust and takes the cradel orbit... it is then qualified as a planet & named:

Mercury

Jesus, now we are on the Mercury.
Apollo five, here I come....

The actual distances I used in this illustration are not accurate, nor is a time span given, yet it has not occurred within the written records of Earth, thus to specualte that it takes more then 10,000 years would not be false.

I know this is a very simple illustration,

?

and, is in direct conflict with many well documented thories... futher I have not bothered to answer all the questions that this will cause, or, to go into the transition of the planets from one orbit to the next...

This will all be leading up to discussion of the formation of Life on the Third planet... [and an attempt to set deeper into your mind that you are some kind of evolved monkeys








( I would answer thaht in Part XXII. )

Look at the evidence - not Bible classes that teach not the Original Bible, which is wisdom, itself, but the interpretations of the Bible and the assumptions of it.[/b][/color]

and not the truth, you are Divine Beings created in the Image and Likeness of God, who via their God given powers, have made them selves into monkey-like-creatures. Space Monkeys you say???

I say your outburst of the unrelated examples from physics, failing to state one related point only mean to impress, God knows whom, was "....... around."

Could this be the real drive of the space program? To go to other planets, to have sex with the indiginous life there?

Jesus,,,,,,

I am sure thats what evolved space beings who can travle of one gallexy to the next are doing...]

In all this, I could care less what people think about. I don't want to control peoples minds, yet I know that thought will eventualy produce manifestations.

The manifestations coming from the monkey minded give birth to the whole Alpha Male concept,

Not only you lost me, I think you lost yourself here.
What' s next - angry, white, male concept?


This gived birth to the Overlord/Ruler of Earth being a single man, and further, the concepts of Might is Right...

Jesus and, now, all the Apostoles.... "help."

When will people stop following the animals and strat being the divine beings they truly are... the Masters of the Animal Kingdom and the other lower kingdoms (plant & mineral)? When they choose to doubt they are some form of evolved monkey.[/quote]

What all that tirade has to do with the Sun producing Earth, producing life, including us, all of us being made of the same elements as the Sun and Earth?
Please write, please post, and I wish all to learn much from that; but that can be, truly, accomplished if you can stay on the subject and argue over it and not over God knows what?

And by means of thought, you can also project yourself into the sun where your higher Self has its dwelling. While you are here below on earth, you are also on high in the sun.

And since it is there in the sun that your true Self exists, try to identify

Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

This is some what of a true statement. All of the physical world is just a metaphor, with the sun being the most noble metaphor, being that it is the source of light, light being the metaphor for consciousness, light gives life to the products of the earth. The sun is only symbolic of the unseen force. The sun is the closest physical thing which we can identify with when trying to understand God. But God is of the unseen and the sun is not God. We are not of this world, we are only in it to learn of the unseen by way of what we do and what we see with our physical eyes. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov said to look at the sun, you know that we cannot look at the sun, which is just another metaphor. And you mentioned something about instincts. We do not have instincts because instincts are actions without reasons, even though a lot of us may not use our reason when we do things, because of our lack of understanding, or our inability to use our senses, we are are indowed with reason. Animals have instincts. Just as you asked Bowman to interpret with his own reason and not to use cliche'. We do have the ability to think. So yes the sun is what it is, but it is not the source of mans creation.

This is some what of a true statement.

Welcome to the thread.

Please keep in mind that you have read only few paragraphs of the 72 volumes related to this sage's teachings.
Do you agree that, unless there are, additional, crucial parts read or known, conclusions based on paragraphs remain such for the most parts?

Truth is whole.


All of the physical world is just a metaphor,


Respectfully and strongly disagree.

It is a reality.

...As our readings/replies are.

They are not imaginary.

Denying the reality of the physical world leads to denial of the complete existence.

A part of us may be and is likely to be somewhere else.

Yet, the physical part is, definitely, here

.




with the sun being the most noble metaphor, being that it is the source of light, light being the metaphor for consciousness, light gives life to the products of the earth.

The Sun is real and not a metaphor.


If you do not believe me, spend few hours in the noon under the scorching sun, which is a metaphor in your opinion, then try to convince your skin (epidermis) that it should not burn under "the metaphor."

I realize that some people have more skin pigment and do not burn under the sun, then, I state, "convince my burns that they overreacted."


The sun is only symbolic of the unseen force.

Yes, you are very close now...and could, logically, use such argument, as

it is valid but, once and only, if you combine the symbolic representation with the physical existence of it

.


The sun is the closest physical thing which we can identify with when trying to understand God.

Great.

But God is of the unseen and the sun is not God.

Did I ever state that Sun is God?
I welcome you to quote.

???



I, truly, wonder why am I being accused of what I have never written?

What is hoped to be achieved when all can read every post of any one, including mine?

How can it work?

We are not in Court, thank God, where an attorney or judge can claim what we said or wrote and act on it, while we said and wrote something else.

They do not care for truth and accuracy, as most of them care to accomplish what is their agenda.

Why do you repeat the same tactics?

Would it not be better and, actually, honest to state only what the other person stated and not what he/she didn't state?

I am so convinced of the fair ways that do not care even if the whole world advocated otherwise.


Yet, I have a feeling there are enough people on this planet who are able to raise logical arguments and opinions without resorting to fallacies and misrepresentations.







We are not of this world, we are only in it to learn of the unseen by way of what we do and what we see with our physical eyes.


We, are very much here.
Next time, some one robs you of money, calm yourself that the monies were imaginary and if you were beaten up, your pains are illusion.
If that works, more power to you.



Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov said to look at the sun, you know that we cannot look at the sun, which is just another metaphor.


I know that we can look at the sun and I do quite often and so do many other people.

The dawn and sunset are the safest hours to look without damaging the retina.

And you mentioned something about instincts. We do not have instincts


What??????????????????????????????

moorishexecutive
Waking Up
We do not have instincts

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

Examples:

Put your head under water and relax.
Watch a baby whose head is under water.

Before you or he/she can think, nothing but instincts would send the impulse not to breathe and search for air.

I guarantee you that.
Can you guarantee otherwise?

Do not eat for a while, do not go in the bathroom.
Just observe the feelings....

Guess where they would come from?

Do you remember when you had "running stomach?"
Were you not running, yourself, to the closest bathroom?
A sprinter could envy your speed, then.

What force did propel you there?

A quest for the theory of relativity and paradox of time or something more prime if not very basic?



Could it be an instinct to expel the poison, as diarrhea means, your digestive system was poisoned to some degree?

Could you convince yourself to hold on or your rear acted on its own once you reached the bathroom.
Well, hopefully jeans came off prior to that.


Do you believe that the pondering on the meaning of life lead you there or something very basic - an instinct, (maybe?) once the nerves conducted the impulses?


Are instincts not that prime and basic force, assuring our survival?


because instincts are actions without reasons, even though a lot of us may not use our reason when we do things, because of our lack of understanding, or our inability to use our senses, we are are indowed with reason. Animals have instincts. Just as you asked Bowman to interpret with his own reason and not to use cliche'. We do have the ability to think.

So yes the sun is what it is, but it is not the source of mans creation.[/quote]

Animals have instincts.

True, but it does not mean that humans have evolved so highly that they do not have instincts.


All of us do - I state so fully!

Again quote me in the whole context when reply to what I have written.
Can we, finally, get beyond faulty assumptions and get to facts on record?

Do you notice how accurately I quote you and, then and, only then, respond.
I prove by example that that is possible.


Yet, that defeats the purpose as I used pure logic, therefore I am not quoted and readers are suggested that I wrote such in fallacy.


Proof: find a quote that I wrote

"sun is the source of mans creation"

In order to save you some time, I repeat:

1) Planets are solidified in their respective degrees, being the "chunks" of the stars (here - the Sun.)

2) We, as inhabitants of the Earth, are made of the exactly the same elements as the Earth and Sun.

3) We have the inner mechanism built in us as a matrix that allows us to interact with the Sun and draw amazing energy out of it via looking at it and concentrating, meditating, contemplating.

4) Such interacting can trigger in us psycho-physical changes that can lead to the development of the extra-sensory perception.

I have not finished that central idea as could never get to it, while had to address fallacies and assumptions presented as facts on Aivanhov's and my behalf.
I testify to that as read all the related Posts here.


It is amazing to me how consistent some folks are in presenting conclusions before the Article is finished.

Question: Does any one of you know exactly what would be written?

Then, state my main points with the main idea and provided the explanations!

I challenge those of you, then!

Yes, I challenge any one to finish it for me and make a claim that this is what I was about to write.

You have my word, if you can do so, I would admit the above.

Nevertheless, denying the physical reality is a fallacy on one of the most grand levels already.

Of course, that is your right to believe whatever pleases you and no one would ever prove anything to a true believer.

Yet, it is my right to base my beliefs on evidence and intuition based on coherence, logic, common sense, and perception impartially questioned from an outside by the Higher Awareness, which I seek until both the inner and the outer come to balance.

Part XII


From the observations and proved methods practiced in the Orient and India by sages and advanced yogis.



The Sun Sutra

It has been taught that Samyama (one-pointed concentration) on the Sun will give a yogi knowledge of the worlds.


Question: How can it be possible that a meditation on the Sun will give the practitioner knowledge of the worlds?

Meditation on the Sun is important because the Sun is the central and most powerful object, some believe, most conscious Being, Spirit, Force and object in the solar system.
Everyting in the Solar sytem is a part of it.

In this modern era of materialism, scientists view the Sun only as an object - as a star of a cetain size and temperature.

For the sages, knowledge of the Sun is more than comprehensive, as they refer to the Sun as the source of Intelligence as well.

According to them, consciousness, illumination and intelligence are synonymous.

The more luminous or more brilliant one is, the greater is one's intelligence.

many languages refelct that concept in thier structure, when "brightness" and intelligence are directly related.

I just proved it to you re; English language.

"bright minds"
....




Within our solar system the Sun is undoubtedly the most luminous object, which makes the intelligence and energy represented by the Sun exemplary.

This type of consciousness is highly desirable to the those who seek it.

The methology they adopt to obtain the consciousness of the Sun is simple.

It is based on the philosophy that there is the Great Law of Similarities.

In relationship to humans, one becomes what one thinks and/or relates to.

Before any of the readers begin to jump, please land back on your chairs and, simply, read on, for a while.

If one constantly thinks about the Sun then one may not become the Sun but, by association, can acquire many of its qualities.

I would give you an example from Nature.
If you go into the field of gorgeous roses, you would come home full of that wonderful scent.

By associating with the roses, you absorbed some of their qualities.

Your mood would improve, you wold be more peaceful and more beauty conscious.

On your way home, you step in dog's poop.
Guess what?
You would smell like it too.

Now back to the Sun-human interaction.

As Sun possess harmony, power, and acts according to precise intelligent laws, you would be affected by the same, once choose to bind to the Sun.


If you choose to bind to money intensely, you would develop the intense qualities necessary to accumulate such.

Question: Is the banking industry not a proof to that?



The Sun is synonymous with life. T

he Sun has a blueprint of every form of life because
all life is a transformed version of solar energy.

That is why I went into details in the previous parts.

I never expect any one to believe anything.
I love to present concepts and ideas and leave the choice to the readers.

I refuse to state something without explaining enough to feel that
I respected the fair rules of "giving food" to the minds and not,
just, forcing them to swallow something undigested.

By meditation on the Sun, one acquires knowledge of the worlds, literally.

The meditation on the Sun is as exhaustive as the rays and all spectrum of energy
that come out of the Sun.

Each ray of the Sun represents a specific type
of power and many believe intelligence.

It may take modern science many years of study to understand
the full range of the Sun's powers, while the sages comprehend that
well enough to consider

the sun-meditation as the most powerful key to the Higher Awareness.

Many types of search for Higher Awareness in form of yoga or similar styles have been utilized.

The most powerfully and comprehensive remains the
Surya method or the interaction with the Sun.

It is, usually, called Surya-yoga

Life has convinced me of the same -
it is the most comprehensive of all forms of Yoga and/or meditations.

The Siddhas in India found a short-cut to an understanding -
they found a way to access The Sun's power through a simple meditation technique.

They mentally and spiritualy connect to the Sun and draw in its qualities.

Any one can do so by looking at the sunrise and mentally binding to the Sun.

All can envision the Sun even in the complete darkness but, then, the physically solar interaction is missing.

Incredibly potent energy is in its visible and invisible but physically felt spectrum.

A dawn provides the best conditions as the angle of the Earth toward the Sun allows the most powerful and healing energy waves to enter all of us.

Matter is crystallized light
_ Light and matter are ultimately interchangeable. "There is no ultimate physical substance to matter."
_ "Matter is nothing but gravitationally trapped light."
_ The afterglow of light from the original fireball of the universe is so significant that "for every one atom of ordinary matter in the Universe there exist 1 billion light particles."
_ While most of the energy of the universe resides in matter, almost all particles in the universe are those of light.
_ For every particle of matter, there are 1 billion particles of light. "Matter is just a minor pollutant in a Universe made of light" (Ilya Prigogine).
_ At the origin of the universe, all the light of the universe was compressed in a volume smaller than the point of a needle.
_ All the other chemical elements of our bodies (40 percent of the atoms of our bodies) were forged in the interiors of stars. They are "recycled star dust."
_ Light is a vital ingredient in all atoms and in molecules and life-forms (including human ones) that are made up of atoms.
_ The human body stores immense amounts of light: The 100 trillion atoms in each of our 100 trillion cells together store at least 10 28 photons. This is enough light to illuminate a baseball field for three hours with I million watts of floodlights.
_ All nine planets began with the same elements, spun by the same star and burned with the same energy. _Only Earth was the proper size so that a balance between gravity and electromagnetic energy happened, allowing a temperature range to develop where complex molecules could form.
_ The solar cloud that eventually birthed the sun was 5 million times the diameter of the sun.
_ The sun contains 99.86 percent of all the substance in the solar system. The Earth contains only 1/332,000 of the sun's mass. The sun is 1 million times larger than the Earth - one million Earths can fit inside the sun. The moon's entire orbit around the Earth can fit inside the sun.
_ Flying at 500 miles per hour, it would take 21 years to reach the sun from Earth, which is 93 million miles away. _Ancients considered the sun eternal, but it was born about 5 billion years ago and will die in about 5 billion years.
_ The sun is composed "of the same substances as the Earth and, in fact, the Universe as a whole." An intensely hot sphere of gas, 78 percent of the sun is hydrogen and 20 percent is helium.
_ The temperature on the interior of the sun is about 29 million degrees Fahrenheit.
_ The sun emits more energy in one second than humankind has consumed in the whole of its history. One second of the sun's energy is 13 million times the annual mean electricity consumption of the United States.
_ The Earth receives only 2 parts per billion of the sun's total energy output - but this is 10,000 times greater than the total energy presently consumed by the human race.
_99.98 percent of all energy passing through the atmosphere originates in the sun's core. (The remainder is from starlight, cosmic rays, and tidal and geothermal energy.)
_ Wood and coal are stored-up solar energy; wind and ocean currents originate from the sun's radiation, as does our food. _When coal burns, hibernating sunlight that was imprisoned for millions of years emerges.
_ Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to travel from the sun to Earth, but previously it took 20,000 years to emerge from the sun to travel into space.
_ Photons (or sunlight) take 100,000 years to cross from one edge of the Milky Way galaxy to the other.
_ The Milky Way is spiral, and in this kind of galaxy a kind of creativity happens that is absent from elliptical galaxies. Generation after generation of stars recycle the interstellar medium and build increasingly complex chemicals along the way.
_Stars fill only 1 part in 100 million of the volume of space.
_ If stars were closer together than they are, invisible high-energy radiation would kill most life-forms living within 2 or 3 light-years."
_ The Milky Way is one of maybe 100 billion galaxies in the universe and one of 30 billion spiral galaxies. _Our sun and solar system lie about 30,000 light-years from the center of our galaxy. A car traveling at 100 miles per hour would take 201 billion years to drive to the center of our galaxy - which is about 20 times the age of our galaxy.
_ Every 18 days our galaxy gives birth to a new star.
_ The energy of the Big Bang may have equaled the total energy of 10 million billion quasars, each of which equals 300 billion suns in light energy alone. _Helium constitutes about 25 percent of the universe. With little or no helium, the universe would have no stars, no light, and no life.
_ If helium were 30 percent of the universe instead of 25 percent, our sun would be dying now; and life would not have happened on Earth. If the intense background radiation had been less during the first second of the universe, this would have happened.
_ At the beginning of the universe, light was trapped and did not escape for hundreds of thousands of years.
_ Several hundred thousands of years after the Big Bang, the universe cooled enough that electrons married nuclei and created little hydrogen and helium atoms. From these were born galaxies, stars, planets, and us.
_ One second after the Big Bang the radiation era began. _At the 700,000-year mark, the radiation era ended and matter separated from radiation and hydrogen was created. In a few billion years, hydrogen and helium formed the first galaxies and stars.
_ Hydrogen is the "blood of the universe.
_ When the universe was 9.6 million years old, it was expanding at 1.98 million miles a second or 10 times faster than the speed of light. Thus space, not matter, was doing the expanding. A spaceship traveling this fast could get from Earth to Pluto in less than 25 minutes.
_ The oldest fossil in the universe was a fossil of radiation discovered in 1965. Coming from every direction of the universe, it was a remnant from 1 million years after the Big Bang cataclysm.

re: Omraam Michael Aivanhov books related to the Sun as the key to enlightenment.

"Toward a Solar Civilization"
and "The Splendor of Tipharet" (Complete Works Collection, vol.10)

"A New Earth, Methods, Exercises, Formulas and Prayers," Complete Works - Volume 13,

"Lighting the Path: The Solar Yoga of Omraam Mikhail Aivanhov" by Georg Feuerstein

[Sharing Lights]

Part XV

Aivanhov reproached us moderns for taking the Sun's existence for granted, ignoring the fact that without it, there would be no life on Earth. All animate and inanimate things, Aivanhov noted, are nothing but condensed sunlight.

The Sun is the origin of life. More than that, the Sun is the primordial teacher. For, without the Sun there would be no human society, religion, morality, arts, philosophy, and technology. In one of his earliest talks, given in 1938, Aivanhov remarked:

Everything good comes from the Sun. It is God's highest manifestation and through it, He sends His blessings.

Elsewhere Aivanhov observed:

Deprived of sunshine men could never have existed . . . Without his light they could never have had the faculty of sight, and not only on the physical level but also on the intellectual level: they could never have had understanding, for understanding is a higher form of sight.*3

This view coincides with ancient Hindu teachings. Thus, in the Bhagavad-G”t‰ (4.1), the God-man Krishna explains to his disciple Prince Arjuna that he, Lord Krishna, proclaimed his "immutable Yoga" to Vivasvat who then taught it to Manu, the progenitor of the human race. Vivasvat
("He Who Shines Brightly")
is none other than the solar being, more specifically the creator aspect of the Sun.

Aivanhov saw in light the first emanation of the Divine, retaining the Divine's qualities more than any other manifestation. As he insisted:

Light is a living spirit which comes from the Sun and which establishes a direct relationship with our own spirit.

Aivanhov further claimed that, as a supremely intelligent being, the Sun is completely responsive to our spiritual intentions and aspirations.

He viewed the Sun as an "open door to Heaven."*5 This reminds one of the famous line in the beautiful ësha-Upanishad, which speaks of the lid that covers the Truth. Aivanhov also stated that the Sun has been his principal teacher and that "the Sun's replies are given in a flash, like an electronic machine."*6

Aivanhov gave the name Surya Yoga, "Solar Yoga," to the conscious cultivation of that solar umbilical cord to the Divine.

He explained: "By the practice of Surya Yoga you establish a link between yourself and the power that governs and gives life to the whole Universe: the Sun. That is why you must necessarily get results! . . . No book can give you what the Sun gives you if you learn to have the proper relationship with him . . . If you want to create a bond between you [and the Sun], you have to look at him in all consciousness. If you do that there will be a communication of vibrations between the Sun and you in which forms and colours, a whole new world, will be born."

An important part of Surya Yoga is to contact the Sun at dawn, which requires proper mental preparation. In order to be able to approach the rising Sun in a meditative disposition, the solar yogis should live a balanced life, involving dieting, perhaps even fasting, adequate sleep, and, above all, an uncluttered mind. Making peace in their own heart, the solar yogis are able to gather their energies and project themselves into the Sun.

This projection is made possible by the fact that, on subtler planes of existence, we are already fully in touch with the solar being. Aivanhov put this fact more succinctly when he said that the human being already dwells in the Sun.

This statement has its striking counterpart in the sacred literature of Hinduism. But Aivanhov's teaching sprang from his own inner experience rather than any study of the Hindu scriptures. He discovered for himself that, esoterically, the human being is modeled after the Sun. We participate in the Sun's splendor, though we are habitually unaware of this fact. Aivanhov's unique contribution is that he has made age-old esoteric knowledge accessible to modern students.

Aivanhov affirmed many times that by focusing on the Sun, and by attuning ourselves to the solar "wavelengths," we are made whole. He spoke of "eating" and "drinking" light, the primordial food of the universe. As he put it:

We go to the sunrise in order to nourish ourselves with light . . . Man needs to feed on light in order to nourish his brain . . . Light awakens those faculties that enable man to penetrate the spiritual world.
Aivanhov, who was a very practical man, recommended this exercise:

In your thought, with your imagination, try to draw some of these divine particles [of the Sun] into yourself. In this way, little by little, you will completely regenerate all the materials of your being. Thanks to the Sun you will think and act as a child of God.

Aivanhov further stated: "There is no more worthy, more glorious or more potent work than this work with light."

Aivanhov's Surya Yoga furnishes us with a vision of our solar system and human existence that is truly magnificent. It replaces our egocentric view, which sees everything revolving around the human individual. Simultaneously it relieves us of the burden of having to play God, and instead facilitates our native ability to transcend the ego and to find the bliss of the Divine in our life. The ego is the ultimate black hole. It sucks in light but emits none.

The Sun is the exact opposite of the ego. It ceaselessly bestows life upon the world. Its life is a true sacrifice. This secret message was clearly understood by the ancient rishis.

Aivanhov reminded us of the fact that we inhabit a far more wondrous universe than science would have us believe÷a universe that is patiently waiting for our conscious, mature collaboration.

Our Relationship with Light & Color by Dr., Annette M., Patterson

http://www.wellbeinginst.com/Rep&Art_Relationship.htm


In studying the work of Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D.,

Ii has been discovered and, scientifically, proven that light is responsible for "turning on" the brain and the body. It enters through the eyes and skin.

When even a single photon enters the eye, it lights up the entire brain. It triggers the Hypothalamus, which regulates all of the body's life-sustaining functions, our autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, and our body's master gland, the pituitary.

The Hypothalamus is also responsible for our body's biological clock. This gland then sends a message, by way of light, to the Pineal Organ, which is responsible for releasing one of our most important hormones,
Melatonin.

Melatonin's release is directly related to light, darkness, colors, and the earth's electromagnetic field.

It affects each and every cell in our entire body, and turns on each cell's internal activities, making them able to harmonize with each other, and nature.

It is believed the Pineal is the part of us that allows the feeling of oneness with the universe, and sets the stage for our most intimate relationship, that of our inner being with the environment.

Animals come by this naturally, living in nature.

Solar Pitris After "40 days" Maitreya destroyed the body and returned the particles, the tiny Devic lives (Solar Pitris) which made it up, to the sun from which they came. check Shady response in 'Conversations'
Solar Pitris Wendy, one item in the current Share: Maitreya mentions "tiny Devic lives (Solar Pitris)" in his discussion of returning the particles making up Jesus' light body to the sun. I'd like to read up on these 'solar pitris,' since in one of my 'in depth' interviews with Shady he/she/they identified themselves as a community of tiny beings living in the sun. thanks ahead, once more!
(Alice Bailey: re: sun...)



This force, upon awakening into conscious activity, weaves from the auric "substance" upon the ideal archetype it contains (which is the energy body) the personal expression of the fullness of consciousness. This unlimited personal vehicle of self expression is termed in Greek the augoeides, the "shining form."
In the Apocalypse the augoeides is secretly called the "solar body" (to soma heliakon). The solar body makes its appearance in a brief but very important allusion.

The author describes the solar body graphically and fancifully as a "new city." This new city descends from the heavens.

"And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."129

Shardza Rinpoche's Rainbow Light Body
--- In Guruevents@y..., "purushaz" wrote: this entails a physical Ascension into higher dimensions without bodily deterioration, either before physical death, afterwards

(Jesus, after being Resurrected according to Christian Tradition); or at death.

In the case of Shardza Rinpoche, the Rainbow Light Body involves a rare biological ascension, the body literally vanishing from sight; thus no mortal decay.

Subject: The sun: an instrument or a master?

(reprinted)


People may start Sungazing (SG) mostly for a purpose or mostly for liking to watch the sun.


I fully agree with Vinny's comments on the unhappy and happy persons linked with the motivation for SG.

What I want to add is that most happy persons, who do SG just because they feel good while doing it, have also a personal relationship with the sun.

For them the Sun is something alive, a spirit.

For the unhappy persons, the sun is just a celestial body, an object on duty, doing mechanically its job for millions of years, an object which did not change a bit in millions of years, the most still object that exists in our solar sistem.

But the essence of any spiritual path is stillness, the suppression of the movement of the body and of the mind.

From this perspective, the Sun is the ultimate master. That's what my inner feeling says.

Acharya Jowel said it with these words: "The sun's rays collide with our thoughts and create silence. The mind is too powerful to be managed by ordinary human consciousness.

The photons from the solar system help to control the mind."

I think that SG without feeling a close relationship with the Sun will fail to deliver any spiritual growth.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (3:26 ) tell about samyama on the Sun, meaning identification with the Sum, or as Drago said "The Sun and I are One", as the gate (or Star Gate) to the seven worlds, corresponding to the seven charkas.

Patanjali does not mention anything about SG, apparently because it is an inferior for of connection to the Sun, samyama, or intense meditation on it being superior to the tratak (eye focusing without blinking) on the Sun.
