Prana and Us

In the Individual

Prana is in the individual, for example a person. Everyone comes to life with a certain amount of prana and we can maintain it, increase it or decrease it according to the food we eat, the air we breathe, the thoughts we think and the life we lead. When we die the prana that has been accumulated in the body leaves, if it were to stay perhaps the body would not decompose, or at least decompose at a slower than normal rate. We die because essentially prana, leaves the body, so in the end prana is that which gives us life and sustains our life.

A Prani

An individual is called a prani because he or she has prana and consciousness. Prana is the greatest friend an individual has. It comes as an aid, because it is the cosmic Christ it comes to everyone as an aid to help everyone and as the Cosmic Christ always does it comes to us so to save us. In particular prana allows the energy we need to fabricate soul and with soul we may free ourselves from Samsara and reach the self-realisation.

Kosha

The yogis say that prana in a person projects itself or collects in what they call pranayama kosha which can be thought of a pranic field which is of course subtler than the physical body. Thanks to Kirlian photography this halo or pranic field that surrounds people can be seen.

Nadis

In the pranic field or pranic body, prana flows through nadis which are energy channels and is stored in the chakras which are energy vortices. The Vedic scriptures say that there are 72 000 nadis and six main chakras. Gnosis on the other hand says that there are many chakras however the main ones are seven in number. Some other branches of the Vedic sciences say that there are seven main chakras as well.

Ayruveda

Prana as we have been examining it comes from Vedeantic philosophy, Hinduism, yoga and features prominently in Ayruveda. In Ayruveda prana in its most subtle material form is the breath. It is also found in the blood and its most concentrated from is in the semen and vaginal fluids. In Ayruveda the sun and sunshine are also sources of prana. Prana also has a cosmic aspect as well.

Prana and Breath

Prana enters the body through the breath or is liberated from the sexual energy and travels through the nadis or channels in the body and is stored in the chakras. The Hindus say that we have 72 000 nadis in the human body.

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this.  In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...

Want to Know Your Cosmic Ray or the Ray of Your Being? – (1088)

What is a Ray? A ray is a certain line of unfolding from the Absolute. The primordial and most fundamental ray is the Okidanokh ray that provided and continues to provide the means for creation to unfold outwards from within the absolute. When a Monad (your Being for example) or as Master Samael sometimes refers to it - a divine virginal spark, leaves the Absolute to enter into creation, it does so in accordance to a certain ray. This ray is part of the order of creation and this order has been established originally by the Absolute itself. The ray upon which a Monad or our Being has emanated from the Absolute pertains to a certain place and function in creation. This function in turn determines some of the characteristics, wisdom, learnings and nature that a Monad (our Being) expresses in creation. For example, take master Samael Aun Weor, his Monad Samael belongs to the ray of Force, and for sure such a Being would possess certain characteristics and a nature that per...
