Namaste. Inviting connection at the Etheric Crystal at the Third Eye with the intention of meeting and receiving my energy there. I would like for you to place one part of your attention on these words as you read them, and another part of your attention on what the instructions are indicating and to do them.
I would like for you to visualize and feel the etheric crystal at the Third Eye and to visualize grow brighter and brighter with white light energy with each exhale that you do.
For the time being, I would like for you to not breathe in any special way, but just to add conscious awareness to the breathing. When you are breathing in, be aware of the breath coming in. When you are breathing out, be aware of the breath going out.
Feel that, in your lungs, you are gathering a breath essence, a felt energy of prana. Feel this energy present when you have finished your inhale and are feeling the inhale turn into the exhale. When you are exhaling, feel the essence move into the crystal and become part of the energy that pulses the crystal brightly. Trust the principle that energy follows attention and feel the attention you give to the crystal is letting this prana breath essence flow into the crystal.
I would like for you to imagine and feel that that the concentration of energy is getting stronger at the Third Eye, and to intend your physical body to become a holographic body of light. Visualize all your atoms in your body brightening and radiating white light. Feel them, too, pulsing on each exhale, in synchronization with the exhale, as if they are part of the breathing.
Sohra (continuing):
When doing the visualization, I would advise that you do not "try" or to "effort" or to "struggle" in any way. Just intend. We are working with the principle that, "When your attention is in gentle Third Eye crystal lock, whatever you imagine and feel becomes real in your experience." The purpose of intending at the Third Eye crystal is to focus a power that you are using all the time in your life. Your 7th consciousness has created your life through interpretation, through thinking and analyzing, and through reacting from old mental conditioning, all this is really part of what I am calling "imagination".
Sometimes you imagine yourself happy, sometimes sad, sometimes healthy and sometimes ill, sometimes clear and sometimes confused, sometimes angry and sometimes loving, sometimes afraid and sometimes courageous. In a subtle way, when you move about your day, a small amount of energy touches your Third Eye and becomes part of your experience. This automatic process keeps the conditioned chain reactions flowing in your life and also gently reinforces them.
When we focus in "gentle Third Eye crystal lock", we are establishing a reliable base for intentional growth into light body and through this base to help heal your life of all limiting conditions.
You will gradually feel old beliefs gently fall away as you continue this process. It is a different path than directly trying to analyze your belief systems and change them. Analysis does occasionally have some value, but the network of conditioned thoughts and how they interact with each other can be very vast and complex. When we analyze we can reinforce these patterns because it may be that the patterns is analyzing itself, and may make some underlying beliefs even more established.
As you feel the energy pulsing from the crystal and vibrating the atoms of your body, you are gently shedding the "thought of matter", the thought that there is a substance independent of consciousness that cannot be molded by conscious thought intention. As you feel your conscious thought intention gently shifting your "material experience" then your experience of matter will shift, and your beliefs about what "matter" is, will be updated from your own direct experience.
Sohra (continuing):
If you are feeling a flow of thoughts, emotions, and sensations within you, while your attention is focused in gentle Third Eye crystal lock, then I would like for you to check in with your experience of this flow.
Notice when you are clinging to a thought, emotion, memory, or sensation, and then gently let go of this clinging, returning to the focus of attention at the Third Eye and the crystal that is present there.
Notice where you are resisting a thought, emotion, memory, or sensation, and then gently let go of this resistance, returning to the focus of attention at the Third Eye and the crystal that is present there.
You do not want to push any experience away or try to hold on to any experience, but to let experiences flow within. When we hold on to an experience, we get stuck there. When we try to push away an experience, we also get stuck there. Notice the stuck-ness, let go of clinging and resistance, and continue the exercise.

Again, I would like for all of you, in particular those who are in "training" about "non-identification", to not move into "trying", "efforting", or "struggling". In particular, not to "try to not identify". This is a subtle identification with "trying". The very noticing that you are locked into a conditioned thought is already a release from identification and you will have enough "free attention" to place it into gentle Third Eye crystal lock and focus there.
One way of understanding this process is to feel the 6th, 7th, and 8th precepts of the Eightfold Path. These are the key points about meditation training. The first two precepts, "right understanding" (the 12 Nidanas) and "right commitment" (the Triple Refuge) are the foundation. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th are the ethical karma containing precepts (so that we do not create any more karmas to undo and can concentrate on dissolving the accumulation that we have already collected and stored in our subconscious mind and in our habits.
The 6th precept is "gentle correction", where when you notice you have wandered from your focus, and gently return back to your focus.
The 7th precept is "sensitive awareness", where one is sensitive enough to notice clinging, notice resistance, and notice identification and to use the 6th precept to gently end them.
The 8th precept is "gentle focus" (sometimes called "right concentration"), where you hold steady your attention on the training intention that is present for you. The key to add is this: There is, ideally, no struggle to hold attention on the focus. Attention may waver as seed thoughts arise and get identified with. If you let this happen and then gently correction this, again and again and again, then each gentle correction will be a release of an identification and a lifting up from the conditioned trance of "human biological and robotic life". When struggle is present, there is at least a "partial identification" going on, that one is identified with conditioned human life and is trying to not be identified. Notice this "trying" as a seed thought and gently refocus back into gentle Third Eye crystal lock, and then place the attention at the crystal, and intend the physical body to shift into light body, noticing the atoms vibrating differently as a confirmation of right practice.

Once the conscious thought intention of "shifting the physical body into a holographic light body" is established in gentle Third Eye crystal lock, then you ask to have your subconscious mind, the holder of your conditioning, to take over this process and keep this process going on below the surface of your focus of attention.
Then focusing at the Heart Center, the center of the Chest, where the Thymus gland is. In some of the teaching texts regarding the Heart Center, the heart pumping station is considered the Heart Center. To be technical, this is accurate, however, it is wiser to consider the pumping heart and the Thymus gland to be part of the Heart Center, along with three other sub-heart centers, one is in the mirror image location to the heart pumping station, where you would have a heart pump if you had two identical ones one either side of the spine. The other two would be at the place where the collar bones join on the front, where the trachea would be, and the tip of the sternum, which is sometimes called the "power center".
The power center has to do with struggle and letting go of struggle. It is the place where the created self or ego learns to "let go" and allow everyone to live by their freedom, by their choice, by their beliefs, and by their values. You let everyone live their own truth. You meet only where you agree with each other. You let yourself live your own truth, your own beliefs, and your own values. You do not try to convince anyone of anything, but simply explain your own thoughts and why you believe them as best you can, and then let the other person decide what to do with them. If they feel it is "nonsense", this is okay. If they feel it is "wise and true", this is okay.

Sohra (continuing):
The power center "stands under" the Heart Center. In the English language, this metaphor works well. When the ego of the power center understands "unconditional love", then it stands under unconditional love and therefore engages in no power struggle with anyone. It surrenders trying to dominate anyone and even trying to submit to anyone, but simply lives its freedom and walks within agreement with friends. All power struggle can end this way and it can happen immediately.

Sohra (continuing):
The trachea heart center is about humor and lightness, about not taking anything too seriously. The higher aspect of humor is "non-attachment" to outcomes. Whether or not you attain light body is not crucial. If we push for it as a goal, we are getting too serious. If we do the exercises and trust that what is meant to happen will happen, then the trachea heart center is operational. It will prevent us from going into struggle.
There is a kind of seriousness that we need, that shows that we are sincere, that we are clear on the goal, and that we value the goal rightly. If we hold this, then we are "serious" in the right way. But if we get morbid, fanatical, and intense, pushing our ourselves into intense struggle and pushing others the same way, then we are serious in an unwholesome way, and need the light humorous non-attachment of the trachea heart center.
Many Buddhist meditation students find out, when they struggle with their egos, that there is something humorous about the antics of the ego, and that if they can laugh at the irony of how the ego takes things too seriously all the time, then there is a release through higher humor. The struggle ends with this release, including the struggle to not struggle.
Sohra (continuing):
The left pumping heart is the feminine empathic heart that can be sensitive, caring, and nurturing to people. The right etheric heart is the male active compassion heart that can be protective, actively helpful, and focused on burning away karma. In the middle Thymus heart, there is the core of unconditional love. These descriptions link with previous teachings and add more detail to the meditations. The thymus has silvery blue light radiating out to others, the male heart has magenta, the female heart has aurora green, the power center has golden yellow, and the trachea has a light cobalt blue.
I would like for you to visualize these radiances going out into the world and touching all the sentient beings that you meet each and every day, with the two week orb that we have been doing. Two weeks into the past and two weeks into the future. We can call this the "lunar present moment".
Notice the conditioned reactions that may arise when these lights appear and touch people you know. Any reaction of thought and emotion that is less than those named above, variations of anger, fear, sadness, jealousy (struggle), and arrogance (convincing others you are right) may arise. Just notice them, see them as conditioned reactions, and let them go. Just doing this will dissolve most of your afflicted karmaic emotions. There may be some deep core ones that you may have to explore individually, but always do this kind of practice first. Sometimes an insight will arise to more deeply release the afflicted emotions. Always start by lovingly accepting them as they are first, and then let them go.
