Head towards bliss

The one direction with no dead ends

  1. Point Yourself Towards Bliss

    Out of the manas mind and into the upper nervous system, chosen again and again.

  2. Bliss, Not Energy

    Energy tempts you to manipulate the world around you; look for the bliss behind the energy.

  3. Not Happiness

    Happiness is dualistic and a trap; what the practice uncovers is joy and bliss.

Clean it out

OM Japa in the chakras

  1. Don't Point

    Find each chakra by feeling inside the body, never by pointing, pictures or visualization.

  2. Origin, Not Doorway

    Every chakra has a doorway at the front and an origin at the spine; OM back to the origin, where the bliss is.

  3. Clean It Out

    The foundation he repeated more than anything: clear the mud out of the chakras rather than push through it.

All day

The real Kriya

  1. OM Into It

    When an emotion comes up, OM into it at once and snuff it out; the practice done all day is the real Kriya.

Rest on the medulla

Where the true guru is met

  1. The Medulla

    The spiritual eye is for powers, the medulla for the expansion of consciousness; rest the mind there.

  2. Google God

    Ashokji in his own words: clean the chakras, settle into the medulla and listen; the answer often comes later.
