The Inner Sound Current

There's a subtle effect as it works directly to transform energies and raise frequencies, rather than through the mind.

Thankyou for sharing how you journeyed and continue to journey.

Any one could look up Rhadasoami or Sant Mat and find out so
much about esoteric yogic techniques.
( For the Inner Sound, Sat Naam, Divine Music, Music of the Spheres or Celestial Harmonies)

(Btw, Dar, I have had enormous experiences from this technique- I lived in the ashram for many years and put in many hours of meditation,,, I may not follow our guru anymore - BUT the techniques he showed are sterling.)

My, how things have changed from when I was a teenager . I bought into all the propaganda and was so sure he was The One, and we were all The Chosen . I was 15 and ate it all up . I never lived in an ashram, having already become a drunk by the time I was on my own . All part of an interesting journey , but it did take some major overhauling to reprogram myself away from the cult mentality . Comes a time you have to 'Kill the Buddha ' .

Through all that and more, the inner sound current started out and stayed a direct channel to ....to infinity and beyond . It's not like the guy was a quack , by any stretch; just that the way it was 'sold' wasn't honest , but hey, that's show business .

From the conversation I guess you're talking about the guru who taught the Music Technique, eh?

Funny, I never understood or experienced it as it was taught then.... but years later I found through other ways, it's so simple.

As for the Guru, through thick and thin and leaving him behind... I still love him.

I do too, now that I think about it . I just don't worship him anymore .
I don't have a master or a guide and that is right for me now.

Ah, now this is what we are talking about - and the "Unstruck chords, the unplucked strings"...
From the Ecsatic Poetry thread - to help people understand more about this "Sound" and ways that it is manifested and heard...

I hear bells ringing that no one has shaken,
inside "love" there is more joy than we know of,
rain pours down, although the sky is clear of clouds,
there are whole rivers of light...

- Kabir

This esoteric technique was taught by Babaji and thus, Paramahansa Yogananda - it is kept secret - only through instruction and initiation was/is it revealed.

I, however, do not believe it should be kept
secret any longer - I could be wrong.
Beause Jesus was correct; if seeds are tossed on rocks they are
wasted and don't grow - I still believe instruction and reading
Masters of the past speaking about this Divine Harmony prepares
the "student" to cherish what this is.

I also feel if a guru lied making others believe he was the only one that could reveal this and only by his grace could you excel --then it is
alright to reveal it to others cancelling the vow we took.

He is not the holder of special grace or the only revealer of these techniques.
(Albeit, he does have grace and knows how to uplift his devotees very much
as the touch of Sri Yukteswar* and Ramakrishna's darshan* could...)

*darshan - being in the presence of
* Sri Y ---Paramahansa's guru - as spoken of in "The Autobiography of a Yogi",
The author of many insightful books on religion, science, the nature of the Universe.

Why, Dar, you've had your coffee this morning, I see.

Very articulate post.

so in all this knowing and expression of what you experience where does it fit into this reality of living? how do you use all this knowledge and integrate it back into the land of coffee and living fully?
