This morning I had a wonderful experience while chanting mantra outside the house. I humbly offer this account as a beacon to those who wish to Know. "I step outside the front door, psychedelic music is tinkling and flowing from the stereo inside. There is a string of prayer beads (a mala) in my hand. On each individual bead I repeat the same mantra "Om Namah Shivaya", over and over. The air is clear, bright, and beautiful. My heart and mind begin to feel like one vanishing wall, and inside it is like a reflection...clear, bright, and beautiful. This is so gorgeous, my friend. I walk to the back of the house, where there is more green than any human could ever pray for. The little plants and trees expose the morning sun as I pass by them, so beautiful. I begin to laugh at this growing feeling of...I'm not really sure what it is, its just everywhere. Inside, I couldn't help myself. I fall to my knees. I laugh...I smile...Laughing, and smiling, and glowing. I cannot put it into words, my dearest friend, the extreme beauty of It. Thank you God, for everything, but thank you most of all for being what you are. Full of laughter and gratefullness, my mind flashed on the beauty of other people feeling even a glimmer of this Gorgeousness!!!...I cried, would they ever believe that what they seek to experience is actually inside of themselves, Shining like the brightest Sun; and that all of their desires, all of their memories, and even the deepest regions of their minds are nothing more than a stagnant dream?" I typed this on the computer shortly after the experience this morning. I've been practicing an authentic Tantra Yoga Sadhana for almost five years now, which is the source of this natural and most wonderful awakening in my life. I offer my obeisances to my teacher, Yogi Bhairava, who has urged me and many others like myself to seek out God through the Kundalini. This is the True purpose of Yoga, and the True purpose of human experience. It is the 'next step' that humanity must take in order for it to ever know the Glory of existence that is God. -OM- Peace, Love, and Om Namah Shivaya
