Prana is Very Elevated
Prana is something very elevated and we can’t readily
perceive it as it is, that is how it is within itself with our five senses.
Though what we can perceive with our five senses is the prana that things have
or radiate. For example, in the case of a rose, the smell of the rose and its
beauty and the life that radiates from it are an expression of the prana
contained in the rose. In short what we really perceive with our five senses is
the prana that things have, so when it comes to perceiving prana with our five
senses we can only perceive prana as it is in things that have or had life,
that is in other human beings, plants, animals, rocks, food etc.
Prana can not be Perceived
As we have mentioned earlier, prana by itself can not be
perceived as a solid physical substance, i.e. something that can be can be
weighed, photographed or measured. All that we can do is to perceive prana when
it undergoes certain modifications and subdivides itself. For example, when
prana subdivides itself we can perceive and receive prana in a piece of bread,
in grapes and in what we breathe.
Modified
Please note, that when prana is modified it becomes a very
important substance which is called Akash or Akasa and later when Akash is
modified it becomes Ether, and when the vibrations of ether called tattwas
condense we have the four physical elements of physical nature.
Different Sources
Prana is also light, colour, heat and as Master Samael said,
it is Universal Magnetism. The beauty and richness of a flower is due to prana
and the beauty that a human being has is also due to prana. Prana also allows
the human being to perceive images, it is the magical component or force that
forms the images on our retina so that we can see.
There is an intense source of Prana in the sun and the sun
radiates it out to all the planets in the solar system. It is the prana from
the sun that really gives the abundance and richness of life that we can
observe in all the four kingdoms of nature in a planet, especially our planet
earth.
There is of course prana in the sexual energy and when we
sublimate it a lot of prana is conserved and converted into ojas which is a
subtler form of energy. This energy accumulates in the brain and is used for
creative and spiritual development.
We also receive prana from the environment (a forest is rich
in prana), from food, from water, from the sun and from the air. The prana that
we received is stored in our chakras and later released by our chakras into the
body. The yogis say that the places on the Earth that are richest in prana are
locations high up in the mountains.
There is not much prana in the cities as there is an
imbalance of electricity and magnetism, there is much more magnetism there in
the cities than there is electricity, it is has been said that the noise and
constant activity dissipates the electricity. In the country there is a better
balance of magnetism and electricity and so there is more prana there.
Kundalini
Kundalini is also a variant of cosmic prana. Some yogis even
say that kundalini is cosmic prana and they go on to say “The entire experience
from creation to dissolution is embedded inside the folds of the kundalini.
Cosmic prana and kundalini are synonymous terms. Awakening the kundalini one
unites with the cosmic prana.”.
Feeds Our Essence
Prana is also something that feeds the essence. It is a food
for the essence and it is something that crystallises in the essence though
which we can use to fabricate soul.
