Man Hali Kirsani Karni
Dharam Pani Tan Ket
Naam Beej, Santokh Suhaga
Rakh Garibi Ves.
On my way to work today, while I was singing the above hymn and chanting Waheguru naam, I was overwhelmed with emotions and starting singing the following
Ham Kukar Tere Darbar
O God, I am a Dog at your door.
I use to get very offended at this shabad, as a teenager, thinking one does not have to humiliate himself this low to receive God's Grace. I know understand the desperation to meet and be with Waheguru, see his Darbar / home and how much I would love to simply be God's dog, if that's what will give me a place to stay there forever.(Hopefully a cute one like my Golden Retriever, Oliver that everyone loves). I feel this way after I read Betty Eddie's book 'Embraced by the light' and now know, how much Love and Peace is in God's presence.
I remembered my conversation with Bhai Amolak Singh ji of England, who visted Woolgoolga Sikh Temple /Gurdwara last year. He asked me why I meditate and what is it that I want. I told him I don't want any materialistic things, I just want to see what Guru Nanak saw. Amolak Singh thought that was a big ask and probably an unrealistic expectation. I shared only a tiny bit of my experience with Guru Nanak and what he showed me. I told him that I was confused about why Guru first showed me a figure that I thought was Lord Shiva / Shankar. What I saw afterwords was magical. I am still hanging out for such magic to happen again.
Today, I thought about it in a bit more depth. I not only want to see what Guru Nanak saw in the spiritual world but also want to visit all those spiritual realms and experience them. After that I want to be with Guru Nanak forever. May be Mardana is also with him. Then the thought of what use am I to their team made me cry. I can't sing or play any instrument efficiently enought to be part of their team. Would they want a devotee like me who loves to listen to perfect kirtan, hang around them?
I hope that Guru Nanak is listening to the countless singers singing the praises of God and enjoying the sound of musical instruments. Betty Edding mentioned that spirits in there do different things - some make the spiritual cloth, some are the warriors waiting to help. I want to be with the singers.
I enjoy Surinder Singh Nanaksar Delhi Wale's Asa Di War everyday. I can't wait to walk over to hear his kirtan. I am so blessed to have this opportunity. He really is a perfect singer. All the singers in the Waheguru's darbar must be of his caliber.

You could add your favorite raagi jatha's kirtan on the Facebook page -
I love this Raagi's Shabad Kirtan

Today was a great day. Although I couldn't do deep meditate at Asa Di War time as I usually do, I am happy that I enjoyed listening it from 5.30 -6.30am and then went to the Sikh Temple for Sukhmani Sahib path - recitation from 7.45 - 8.30am and then went to work. What a great morning.
Hopefully while alive I will be able to hear more of the Anhat Shabad. I truly want to taste the Ambrosial Nector that comes up from the Navel area upto the palate and tastes like honey. I have seen a Sikh tasting that Amrit at my cousins house in Patiala, India. I want to be like that Sikh.

Does the power of password work in spiritual world?
Are there secret passwords in the spiritual world? Some religions believe that but they forget that in spirit world there are no words buy feelings that are conveyed and carry meaning. I went to a ceremony of the Chinese Buddhists where they gave five sacred words that must not be spoken loud or written down. They talked about the three treasures and remembering these words was one of them. To be in the third eye was the first treasure. The third eye is called the 'Portal of Heaven' / Gate of birth and death / Way to enlightenment.
Then was the hand gesture. The base of the ring finger is suppose to be the beginning and the base of the littlest finger is the ending of a cycle of 12. One is suppose to hold the base of the ring finger of the right hand with the thumb of the same hand and the base of the littlest finger with the thumb of the left hand, with the left hand gripping all four fingers of the right hand.
The five words were the Third treasure. They suggested that these words should be remembered everyday before dawn as those who don't practice everyday will forget them when they die and need to remember them as they will get stopped at the Gate of heaven and can't proceed if they can't remember the three treasures.
Its very interesting as Gurbani says 'Panch Shabad (Five Words) Tit Ghar Sabhage, Ghar Sabhage Shabad Waje, Kala Jit Ghar Dhariya.'

Cast system in contemporary Sikhs
It is sad that we talk about Sikhs being different from Hindu people as we do not adhere to cast system and yet everytime a Jat Sikh hears of the potential partners cast being Chamar, we call off the wedding.
Social acceptance is the only fear that stops people from following the Guru's message.

Human Energy system - 12 primary meridians
Although, no previous knowledge of energy system is necessary to turn regular energy into spiritual energy by meditation, as it is a natural process. The more you meditate, the better quality experiences you will have as a result of accumulation of spiritual energy and development of the subtle energy body. For those curious minds who want to know what happens and how, its helpful to know how energy travels in our body, generally. The information below and the photo have been taken from other websites to help understand the energy system.
Note the information in the previous blog titled 'Empty Vessel'. It mentions the union of the male and female energy within, the yin and yang classification of meridians willl help you understand how one body can have arousal without intercourse. Here I must mention that Guru Nanak laid emphasis on the feeling of uncounditional love that helps the body to feel arousal and thus cause magic. Without the feeling, the arousal is impossible and so Yoga or any other practice is reduced to mere exercise or ritual.
gur kai sabadh rapai ra(n)g laae ||
One who is filled with the Word of the Guru's Shabad enshrines love for the Lord.
Level- Limb - Energetic Level - Organ Name - Element
EARTH Hand - Greater Yin - Lung Hand - Metal
Hand - Bright Yang - Large Intestine - Metal
Foot - Greater Yin - Spleen Foot - Earth
Foot - Bright Yang - Stomach - Earth
HEAVEN Hand - Lesser Yin - Heart - Fire
Hand - Greater Yang - Small Intestine - Fire
Foot - Lesser Yin - Kidney Water - Fire
HUMAN Hand - Absolute Yin - Pericardium Hand- Fire
Hand - Lesser Yang - Triple Heater - Fire
Foot - Absolute Yin - Liver Foot - Wood
Foot - Lesser Yang - Gallbladder - Wood
As we move from the exterior to deeper in the body, we move from Yang to Yin in the order of six energetic levels listed in the chart above: Greater Yang, Bright Yang, Lesser Yang, Greater Yin, Lesser Yin, and Absolute Yin.. When disease invades the body, it moves from the exterior levels to the interior levels as it becomes a deeper, more serious condition. The meridians that share an energetic level exist in Hand and Foot pairs, such as Lung and Spleen meridians, to form the Greater Yin level.
There are also Yin-Yang pairs of meridians which are represented by each horizontal row in the table. For instance, the Lung meridian is paired with the Large Intestine meridian. These Yin-Yang paired meridians have additional connecting meridians that strengthen the connections between these two meridians and their corresponding organs.

Empty Vessel - Enlightenment of Water and Fire
The following information has been taken from the website below http://www.cejournal.org/GRD/Alchemy.htm
Internal Alchemy, with Michael Winn
The alchemical formulas that I began studying had three different levels: the Lesser, Greater, and Greatest Enlightenment of Water and Fire (Kan and Li). These practices tap into different fields of polarized yin and yang qi to dissolve jing and build original (yuan) qi and yuan shen. You learn how to gather the lesser elixir and greater elixir, the essence of your consciousness distilled from "cooking" the jing, qi and shen from the microcosm and macrocosm. This builds a yang energy body.
The Lesser Water and Fire is called sexual alchemy, as it couples the inner male and inner female essences within the physical body. This creates a tremendously healing and blissful field of yuan qi that is used to dissolve blockages in all the meridians, core channels, and dan tiens as well as clearing the vital organ, nervous, lymphatic, bone marrow and blood circulatory system. You open your inner eye in each dan tien and learn to manage your family of inner souls. If you receive the transmission of this formula, other formulas often unfold spontaneously.
The Greater Kan and Li is called Sun-Moon alchemy, as it couples the solar and lunar essences to dissolve the boundary between your personal energy body and the energy body of planet Earth. We meditate in the very core of the planet, its central dan tien and doorway to the original shen of the earth being. We connect our personal inner souls to the planetary soul powers of the five directions (north, south, east, west, and center).
The Greatest Kan and Li is called Soul/Heart Alchemy, as it opens up a direct relationship between your personal Heart shen and the Great Shen of the Sun (or Solar Logos in the West). This practice releases your fear of death and dissolves the karmic, genetic and planetary influences of your personal astrology. We learn to listen to the planetary tones and the central sound current flowing through the Sun.
The Sealing of the Senses (Star Alchemy) relates to the upper dan tien, the pole star and the black hole at the center of this universe. The Congress of Heaven and Earth, and the Union of Man with the Tao, are the final formulas.
These last three formulas connect to the three levels of immortality beyond enlightenment. Traditionally, the Chinese are prohibited from teaching these openly, lest they fall into the wrong hands and bring the wrath of heaven.
I feel the age of secrecy is past. The rigorous training filters out the unworthy and half-serious. Part of my work reinterpreting these Taoist methods is to make them accessible for Westerners.

DMT, Pineal gland and the darkness for meditation
The following info is from the following website http://www.universal-tao.com/dark_room/enlightenment.html
The Tao says: ‘When you go into the dark and this becomes total, the darkness soon turns into light’Every day the body needs tryptophan, an essential amino acid. This is converted into serotonin and melatonin (average 2-5mg./ day). When you are in the dark room the melatonin is able to build up gradually. When this store reaches a sufficient amount (15-20mg.) the body then produces pinoline (a super conductor). It also realizes that it no longer needs any more melatonin.
At this point the tryptophan is then able to adopt a secondary function of producing 5MEO and DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). When you reach the ‘DMT state’ you begin to function consciously from the various psychic centers or chakras. The bodily processes of ‘Healing Love’ are then combined with those of the Dark Room. The human states of true compassion and arousal create a new chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This ‘special’ vibration occurs at a frequency of 8Hz. ‘You need the orgasmic vibration to arouse this crossover process which leads to the ‘two giving birth to three’; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion and arousal leading to orgasm. Both are inextricably linked to love. When this ‘love-vibration’ reaches the pineal gland a new hormone is produced, which in turn creates whole body conductivity.
Only when you feel the waves of orgasmic vibration and unconditional love for the self and others can the process be activated and the essence of the darkroom magnified. When the pinoline is triggered you also activate your clairvoyant, clairsentient and clairaudient powers. You may see light and visions, hear music and gain phenomenal insight. Cosmic particles, which have the same cell structures as humans (and from which the Tao believes you evolved) are attracted to you magnetically. You are able to decode this universal information carried from outer space, which may be as old as nothingness itself. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence and begin to understand the order of things. You return to the womb, the cocoon of our material structure and nature’s original Dark Room.

2012 disasters approaching
Today Lennox Head was hit by a mini-tornado, a force not common in Australia. 100 people injured.
The website www.dailyhotnew.org has declared 2010 as the year of natural disasters already. What can we expect in the next 30 months?
The best solution to have immunity from natural disasters that I can think of is firstly open your third eye, meditate and receive the power to dematerialise and then materialise again like Guru Nanak could; and seek Gods protection.
Have I been able to do any of the above? I wish I could do dematerialisation and materialisation like many Americal Indian spiritual people of today can. I am that unfortunate person that has earned and then lost so much. A year ago it was a different story, then I had Gods protection and the third eye was developing so fast to the extent that I could see things as clear as in a TV screen. Why God changed his mind about me? Was it that I kept refusing whatever powers were given? Was I too suspicious of whatever miracle happened? Or was it that I opened my mouth and told some wrong people what was happening to me? Or was it simply that without knowing I had become proud of myself and considered those gifts as my achievements. You can judge me. I simply don't know. All know is that I have experience the frequency of up to 600 of Joy and peace and within seconds someones lusty hands reduced that vibration to 20 Guilt. It has taken me a whole year to now become normal and start over again.
In the book 2013: the end of days or the new beginning", p.37, is mentioned the view of Barbara Hand Clow who believes that time and evolutionary acceleration will be completed on Oct 28, 2011, yet Maya people believed that the cycle will complete on the Dec 21, 2012. Mayan calendar reveals that the Galactic underworld of Internet-global economy started on Jan 4, 1999, and the Universal underworld of conscious revolution will start on Feb 10, 2111.
With so less time left to meet God through meditation, while still in human body that is so necessary to raise one's spirits vibration, why has my enthusiasm to meditate gone so down?

Levels of human consciousness
In the book '2013: the end of days or a new beginning?' p 81-82, there is a section on 'Levels of human consciousness' and the info is taken from David R. Hawkings's Power and Force. Hawkins has defined a range of values accurately corresponding to well-recognized sets of attitudes and emotions localised by specific attractor energy fields. The book explains that the level of 300 is not twice the amplitude of the 150 level, but rather is 10 to the 300th power. This denotes just how little an increase in power is needed to result in a enormous jump in consciousness. Any level before 20 is totally destructive to humanity.
Energy level Emotions/ Attitudes
20 Shame
30 Guilt
50 Apathy
75 Grief
100 Fear
125 Desire
150 Anger
175 Pride
200 Courage
250 Neutrality
310 Willingness
350 Acceptance
400 Reason
500 Love
540 Joy
600 Peace
700-1000 Enlightenment
Hawkins suggests that current level of 207 is when power first appears. Its the level of courage moving towards neutrality. He says that only 4% of world population calibrates at an energy level of 500 or above. Only 0.4% will reach 540 and only 1 person in 10 million will reach 600 or above.
Guru Nanak also writes "Kotan Mei Nanak Kou ...."
Hawkins suggests that one single avatar operating at the 700 + level or above would counterbalance the collective negative energy levels of humanity today. He also suggests that growth, either individually or collectively, can take place slowly or suddenly.
My experience of the Great White Light gushing through my 10th gate, just after 10 minutes of meditation that I did first time with full devotion and gratitude suggests that such spiritual growth that raises your level only happens suddenly with Gods grace. The moments you have the slightest doubt that you are the special chosen one, this level is also taken back from you within seconds. So if you ever receive anything special with Gods grace, don't be fooled that its because you deserve it. Its only that God had mercy on you. Believing any other way, you will loose the power and bliss soon. I am a living proof of this miracle.

Keep that spine straight and don't share bed
I realise that when I sleep very close to anybody and my body touches theirs, either child or husband, I find it hard to do my mini meditations while half asleep at night. Since that stopped I found less and less urge to meditate during the day as well. Other things took priority. Now I don't even mediate compared to how good I was last year. 24 hours a day, all I ever use to think of was meditation. I didn't want to waste one moment and I had so much enthusiasm, as if today might the day I meet God. What happened to me?
I also suggest you keep your spine straight at night when you sleep. If you have been meditating during the day, keeping the spine straight will bring you extra energy even at night to be so fresh the next day even when you will do mini- meditations while sleeping.

How to start the meditation?
Meditation is awareness of the present moment. We live our daily life either thinking about the past or worrying about the future. It is important to be present for sometime each day. If you are not present, then you have missed your class, so to speak.
Meditation is a way to find the void within this vessel called body. If the vessel is not empty, we can't fill it with anything pure. So place your attention on the following points for three to five minutes each. Monitor your experience at each level:
1. Sense of sitting in the present time
2. Awareness of sensations arising from the environment in the present time
3. Awareness of sensations arising in the body in the present time
4. Awareness of emotions arising in the present time
5. Awareness of thoughts arising in the present time
6. Awareness of I AM statements arising in the present time, with associated thoughts, feelings, and memories
7. Awareness of memories and impressions bubbling up from the Subconscious
8. Awareness of the present time being recorded in memory
9. Focus your attention in turn on each chakra of the Subconscious mind in the spinal tube
base of spine
behind the navel
behind the solar plexus
behind the heart,
at the place where the neck meets the shoulders
at the base of the skull
at the point where the nose meets the forehead
between the eyebrows
You will encounter a presence behind this center that silently observes. Focus more intently on this presence. You will begin to see light emanating from this presence.
This is your third eye, which allows you to see within when your two eyes are closed.
Remain in this state for as long as you wish. Then retrace your steps through each focal point until you are fully grounded in your normal waking awareness.
Note: If you start to have a headache, stop focusing on the third eye immediately. For the next few days, only focus on the heart. Headache means you are not being aware of this point but focusing too hard. You can do permanent damage if you continue 3rd eye meditation the wrong way.
