May I introduce the highest Buddist practice?

Has everyone tried looking at their hands in the dark?

One of my earliest memories is of lying in my crib (cot) and holding up my hand in the dark to look at it. I don't remember what I saw, but I remember thinking, in the way that not-quite-awake brains think, that it was funny that I could see it in the dark.

An easy way I have found, is wake up in the middle of the night, walk into a pitch black closet, and then wave your fingers in front of your face.

Sleeping partially is an easy way of getting into a psychic state.

If you do this, you will see pinpoints of blue light representing your fingers

It really is a cool thing and may be related to this whole thogal thing.

Now you know I'm going to do this.

I cannot claim credit for this..

I learned this from RB's aura tutorials.

These talks always get too intellectual or inepth for me to follow. Alwayson4 im glad you posted that nighttime tech, sounds interesting, fun even.

For the record, Tögal does not have its basis in the etheric aura.

[alwayson4]

True, that is only my theory

But as I study more, I am starting to believe the real explanation about light channels connecting the eyes to the heart chakra.

Either way, thogal works.

Has anyone had experience with this?

I am pretty sure this has to do with thogal

The connection to Kriya Yoga is clear in my mind, but I don't see what it has to do with Tögal.

[alwayson4]

Thogal has to do with certain crystal light channels such as the infamous "kati" channel. This kati channel is the basis for the rainbows being seen.

It seems very clear to me the spirtual star of Hindu yoga is the same "crystal" channel.

The similarities continue. Both thogal and the star both may require pressure on the eyes and breath retention to get going.

Both thogal and the star are pinnacles of Buddist and Hindu yogas respectively.

I said earlier that sungazing is part of thogal practice.

I should really clarify.

You do not stare into the sun. Ever.

You squint into the RAYS of the sun or moon or even a candle, well below or above the source.

Also it is said you should have some shade overhead, so you do not overheat.


This practice with light is actually thogal proper

Staring into a blue sky, as I described earlier, is technically more of a preliminary...
