Dreams, intuition, telepathy and perception

Q: if the person see in the dream that he is flying or diving?

Guruji: most of them are astral experiences, because in the dream we’re seeing dead people also. We talk also with them.

Q: if you see your own death – it is your spiritual development?

Guruji: in India it is saying: if sick man seeing his own death – it might be little bit serious, but if a healthy person seeing his death – it increases his life. This is what we believe.

Q: if we not seeing the dreams?

Guruji: many doctors saying that if you’re not dreaming – then you will be mad person. You may remember them, you may not remember them – that is the difference.

Q: how we can separate simple remembering of the day or week from real astral experience in the dream?

Guruji: dream is real experience. You’re going to sleep here and waking up there. go to sleep there and wake up here – like pendulum thing.

Q: if you’re going to the same place in a dream once in a week or month?

Guruji: you’re really going there. your astral body knows what for.

Dreams

"Guruji, we were talking about lucid dreaming. Is it really possible?"

Guruji: "It is quiet possible. With advance yoga practice this ability comes automatically. But some people also practice this technique, mostly those who are interested in astral flight. It's basically waking up in the dream."

"But aren't dreams just projections of subconscious?"

Guruji: "No, dreams are of two types. One is just continuation of what was going on before the sleep. It's a display of the memory. The second are the dreams which come out of the blue. They are astral world impressions. The sleep frees us from physical limits and we go to the astral world. It'll be hard to survive without it - we'll never recuperate. Physiologists say that dreamless sleep doesn't relax. Dreams are necessary. We don't remember most of them though due to the shock of waking up.

"Dreamless sleep is slumber, which you get when you are very tired. But the mood always elevates after a good dream and gets spoiled after a bad one. Dreams make direct impressions on the mind."

"Guruji, what do the third and fourth states - sushupti and turiya mean?"

Guruji: "Sushupti means beyond dream. What is dormant - 95% of our brain - is sushupti.Hibernation is a better word for it. That is the dreamless state. Turiya means the fourth state - beyond the three states. It is the same in Kriya yoga: in the first a person wakes, in the second starts experiencing dream states, in the 3rd you gain knowledge of sushupti, and of turiya in the fourth. One who goes even beyond the fourth state is called turiyateeta. "

"And you said that the practice still goes on forever.."

Guruji: "If you've earned MA or PhD, that doesn't mean a full-stop on your learning. It means you are now better equipped to learn. You've earned the qualification that you can learn anything. In yoga sadhana, after touching a certain level, you don't need to go to anyone to learn any more - you become independent even in the matter of learning."

If you’re able to control your dream – it means you’re able to control the astral world – so you’re very powerful being. But if you cannot control the physical world – how you can control the astral? But if person is happy with his imagination – it’s fine. Nobody wants to be common, everyone think he’s unique.

THE SHADOW OF ASTRAL WORLD

Telepathy is more elaborate intuition. It’s beyond five senses. It is directly connected with the development of the mind, not with any gland. After some time you will have the feeling to insulate yourself – too many thoughts will disturb your mind.

sometimes it’s very difficult to understand – is it fantasy or is it real?

Guruji: even the fantasy is real as fantasy. Whatever is happening is real. Never doubt yourself.

sometimes we try to analyze the astral experience

Guruji: how can you analyze the astral experience as physical?

to read the meaning of the dream in a dream book?

Guruji: no, you will also begin to understand the meaning of dreams. That understanding will also develop. No book will tell you. Some references may match, but not every experience.

as I understand – we must have more powerful mind to remember more from that experience?

Guruji: yes, then it will be easy to understand. But there will be no physical explanation: always spiritual explanation are there, not physical one. The physical world is just a shadow of astral.

so if some war happen – at first it happen in astral?

Guruji: yes; only the shadow – like the Daksha yagya fight is there the reflection will be on Earth also. The cause is always there. I will give you very fantastic idea: you remember Devon ke Dev Mahadev? When two parts of Sati’s body went missed and was thrown into water? I’ve discovered them in our kund. It was fantastic for me to see on TV what we already discovered here. Maybe it was somewhere else and these body parts will throw into the past or into the future – to protect them. It’s direct connection but you never know – whether puranas describing the past or the future. In Shiva purana in the chapter of rudraksha Shiva is saying: I grew rudraksha in Mathura. But I was the first person to plant them here. We searched – but not any mention of rudraksha nowhere in this area. Was He talking about the future? Or from the future about the past?

puranas are beyond the time?

Guruji: now I begin to think – as we begin to talk that something happens in astral world then suddenly it appears on Earth – the different time frame they keep describe. In the history of this area rudraksha was unheard of. Only in Shiva purana we read that He grew rudraksha in Mathura also – and it happen in 2002. What they are trying to say?

NALIKA

why our conscious mind is called Nalika?

Guruji: Our conscious mind is taking care of everything- rest is sleeping. When she wakes up - then she stands on a top, so your body is in suspended animation – we can explain it in this way.

maybe we can explain the conscious mind as Nalika because of gyrus inside?

Guruji: Nalika means “which keeps the flow going”. The tap, pipe, tap is called “nal” in hindi. Nalika, nal – all are connected. Umbilical cord is called “naal”. It’s a very commonly used word in hindi.

what do You think: people, who was born with some extraordinary abilities – their mind is awaken a little bit more than 2%?

Guruji: if you’re born with the extra limb – you have some extra capacities. Magical things will come. if the man in the name of god doing some miracles – he’s a saint. But if some woman show her abilities – she’s a witch. That difference is there.

it also concerns persons with some extra vertebras?

Guruji: could be. In any case it is not a coincidence.

why so big part of our brain is sleeping from the beginning?

Guruji: because it’s a sort of the practical riddle, which we need to solve. Initially body is not ready for supporting 100% of the brain. You need to develop it very carefully – so you can tolerate the power.

so You think it’s impossible to be born with the more developed brain? 5 or 10% for example?

Guruji: it’s possible with the result of your past karmas: if you already had developed something – than yes.

could it be something else except extra limbs – some qualities which can be seen; maybe some qualities of the body?

Guruji: it is very easy to see: much more intelligent, much more wise; extra limb are there – when it’s some magical touch.

what will be different with the person with six fingers for example?

Guruji: he will be very sensitive and the mental abilities will be much more better and higher than a normal person. He will have extra force. We have observed it so many times.

REALITY OR DREAM

Some time different things are coming to our dreams – which we haven’t seen at a day time.

do we see something that are more than dreams?

Guruji: there are two types of dreams: one is the continuation of your thoughts, that is not the real dream. Real dream state and astral state are same.

You’ve got to see dead people also, sometimes extraordinary things – which never happen in lifetime: that is an astral experience. We need to learn differentiate between them. Whenever it’s just a continuation of what you’re thinking before you fall asleep – or it’s a real astral experience. The real astral experience nobody will ever forget, memory will remain for life.

but mostly it’s continuation of the thoughts?

Guruji: not always – sometimes. But real experience mostly are rare.

how to practice it?

Guruji: just make your mind more strong – that’s it. In the astral only strong mind will survive.

in my dream You asked me to concentrate on sound – what does it mean?

Guruji: there are two types of sounds: one which we’re producing while practicing Kriya yoga; and there is another sound which is all-pervading and is called anahada nada, the cosmic sound. Both sounds are important for us. Concentrate on them!

when while practicing nada is very strong?

Guruji: it will be strong, just keep practicing.

we don’t need to synchronize it somehow?

Guruji: first finish your practice – then. That sound is the result of this sound: it is creating something, developing something inside your brain or let’s say mind – it’s a stepping stone, you don’t need to synchronize them.

but in Gorakhbodh there are a lot of conversations about hearing the nada?

Guruji: because nada is a very mysterious thing and the tone or the note of the sound will keep changing – that’s why there are so much discussion on it.

it’s the very next level of practice?

Guruji: it is a result of the practice.

you can concentrate on nada when you stop the heart?

Guruji: no, you can concentrate even before that. Why suspended animation is so important?

Your body is prepared to withstand the power of your brain only 2-3%. If there be more awaken brain – the body may not tolerate it. Also the sound: so overwhelming so the body go to paralyze or something. Yogis discovered the path to suspended animation: so the subconscious mind when it will be awake, active – body will not suffer. We need to continuously develop our nervous system and a physicality of our body – so we can tolerate the very high level of the awakened consciousness. Average persons are not capable to tolerate it. Same thing with nada: the vibrations will be so overwhelming – the body will not be able to tolerate them. Initial very high frequency of nada is tolerated in the state of suspended animation. Then again and again – and then the body is strong enough that even without going into suspended animation you’re able to tolerate that. Then different chapter in life begins. We are in the state of preparation.

so suspended animation is like defense mechanism?

Guruji: it is. To survive that power. As they say in army: the harder you train – the better your chances to survive.

That’s why I keep stressing: work hard, work hard. Regular exercise, regular Kriya yoga – regularity is the name of the game.

how You can perceive the nada in suspended animation?

Guruji: only 2% of your conscious mind is unconscious; and your subconsciousness is becoming conscious – so you perceive everything! Before you were perceiving with 2% only – then you will perceive in 98%.

when we are enough prepared in suspended animation…?

Guruji: so we don’t need to go there. That will be the extraordinary physical body and the very powerful mind.

diamond body?

Guruji: much before – diamond body is ultimately for immortal person. There are two types: there who live long – let’s say few centuries or thousands years but they are not immortal; diamond body belongs to the immortals. They cannot be killed. No damage, nothing – it’s different. But I say – even 10 years of youthful life is something.

when you awake from suspended animation – will you remember your experience?

Guruji: you will remember everything. There is not forgetfulness.

like a real or like a dream?

Guruji: even dreams are real.

SMELL

Astral world and astrology sounds looks like – it is good to know your possibilities and probabilities. Like a probable map, guiding us.

old times people considered astrology as very important and study it like a science?

Guruji: even now in India – many astrologers are there. Some are very good.

could someone damage you through the dream?

Guruji: it will affect your body through your mind.

what could be damage for astral being without physical body?

Guruji: oh, he will be damaged. He has an idea of the body. The idea will be damaged.

it could affect our physical body?

Guruji: your thoughts are very powerful things. And they will affect your body. From the thoughts the chemical reactions start, which will affect your body. Simply by the smell of the person you can say how his mind or her mind is working. That’s why immortals are out of the cities: the smell is too overpowering.

when the person achieves samadhi, the smell - ?

Guruji: it changes, yes. I was telling you my first experience: the smell of humanity is not tolerable. He will be much more sensitive than average person. It will be very difficult for him: body smells, different chemical smells, different sprays, everything.

everyone has a bad smell – if he is not a yogi, not practicing yoga?

Guruji: no, it depends on the quality of the body.

if the person is vegetarian?

Guruji: he will have different smell. But some vegetarians also has terrible smell. That means their mind is working in a different way. Chemical reactions!

I’m happy that if Russians and Ukrainians smell my hand – they all say it’s good smell.

Because for anesthesia you can use just someone’s socks – immediate black out guaranteed.

if I see someone’s death in my dream?

Guruji: it means his life span will increase. Or he will die in astral and take another birth here. If he’s dead – it means he really wants to take another birth.

people also are absorbing emotions…

Guruji : but then that is the very good point: not many people are empaths – so empathic overloading is not possible. Sympathetic overloading is recommended. Empaths are rare to see.

Q : it’s born ability?

Guruji: looks like it – you cannot cultivate it. Also idiot cannot cultivate intelligence. But intelligent person may act like an idiot for the sake of presentation .

Q : stupid people are asking the stupid questions?

Guruji : no. every question is a question. And person, who is asked those questions, should be able to answer them. No question is stupid.

Q : so every question has an answer?

Guruji : the hint of the answer is always there. but sometimes they are something. One time one man came in heavy depression. For 2 hours he was sitting here and I told him – you must think positively. Ok, he agreed that he should think positively. Then he leave, went to the gate, and then came back again to ask me: in positive thinking what should I think? I said: leave me quickly! I cannot answer this question( laughing)

what about the Ksha phoneme? Is it like joker in the cards – that it can create any possibilities inside it? It can act anyway so you cannot predict its qualities?

Guruji: it is a big possibility. I can agree to that, yes.

so in other aksharas we can talk about the stages of the manifesting of the consciousness – but in case with Ksha it’s like terra incognita?

Guruji: again – manifested or unmanifested – it’s from our point of view; they are there as they are. This is only our point of view or our perception, which creates such differentiations. Even if from something light is not reflecting – that doesn’t mean it is not there. We need to open our eyes and mind as well – what is not so easy.

so we cannot say “it’s unmanifested”?

Guruji: yes, it’s our perception is limited.

Remember, dreamworld and astral world are one and the same.

where soul comes when we sleep?

Guruji: into the dreamworld. They are one and the same with astral. Cloud nine is the best place.

we discussed that You saw this place in Your dreams or visions – but You thought it’s a guesthouse?

Guruji: I saw this place, this house and all these buildings; the boundary wall and the green garden inside: that’s why I was able to plan and now it is. But what I didn’t see was – me, wearing red clothes and doing puja. That thing was missing. I saw the place and I saw myself living here.

so if we see something that is definitely future, it couldn’t be changed?

Guruji: if it seen than it can not be changed; but I think this remain the mystery of puja. Maybe it was added later.

it was the only time You have seen the future in Your dreams?

Guruji: not exactly dream – it was a vision. Three-four times.

and You always know that it will come?

Guruji: yes, it will happen exactly. But from where the Shivalingam appear and red clothes came - it was not in that entire vision, so somebody included that after. And I’m happy: it is like an evening performance now.

LUCID DREAMING

what do You think about the yoga of the dreamworld or yoga of the dreams: when you’re concentrating on a dreams you see during night time and doing something with it?

Guruji: if you’re developed enough to enter the Dreamworld consciously – that means you’re able to enter the astral world consciously. It’s a big thing. But it’s a very risky thing – we’ve already discussed that.

They may make you a slave – and you will never wake up from your sleep. Maybe someone else will enter the body and will wake up: all these possibilities are open. This is very utopian thought that all spirits there are waiting to help you, everything is rosy and full of love: it sounds very good but sadly it is not exactly true.

Somebody said – somewhere in a novel: more murders have committed at the name of love rather than the name of hate. So we have to be very careful, using this word.

so You don’t recommend to experiment with these technics?

Guruji: if you’re powerful enough – you will know. If you’re not powerful enough – you will be depending on just luck, which may not support you in the time of need.

When you were coming to see me, you prepared: you bought a ticket, you have a passport, you do some preparation – then you arrive; you simply not start walking towards Govardhan.

Keep your head very high – but let your feet remain firmly on the ground. Instead of imagining about dreamworld let’s imagine awakening of Kundalini(laughing)

DREAMS

my dreams became now very much different

Guruji: you’re progressing

now I understand that I could realise myself in a dreams; but the next step is going out of the body – and it is still work in progress

Guruji: it will come. But remember what I said on Online Darshan: dreams are ok. But remember: at the moment of initiation I give you a dream, which you will need to work hard to fulfil. That dream is most important.

why someone see dreams, someone see but not remember?

Guruji: we all see – but we don’t remember by the shock of waking up. It's fine.

will it be the obstacle if the person will be to attached to his experiences in the dreams?

Guruji: yes. We're trying to fulfil the dream, which we saw in our waking state. First dreams which we see while we are fully awake: they shape up our lives. Fulfil them, go for it!

WHAT IS INTUITION?

Guruji, what is really intuition?

Guruji: they say – it is your six sense, so you can sense if something is about to happen. People call it god feeling also. It is just a feeling which sometimes is true.

is it connected with the access to the subconsciousness?

Guruji: no, not at all.

could the intuition be developed?

Guruji: I think with enough yoga practice it comes naturally.

could we say that everyone has intuition but not everyone is able to listen to it?

Guruji: no, not everybody has intuition.

why we have such a property? Is it a kind of blessing?

Guruji: grace from the ancestor’s spirits. Their spirits are happy with you and they will be warning you from time to time.

how to understand that it’s real intuition and not the only thoughts from the mind?

Guruji: intuition will prove correct every time. Simple thoughts may not be correct all the time. If someone is not even intelligent enough to decipher what is intuition and what is just thoughts – then it’s useless.

to understand the intuition, to listen the intuition is also like a gift?

Guruji: of course.

we must be brave enough to accept intuition…

Guruji: there is no way to change it after. I like the dialogue from somewhere: those who knows future lives in the fear of future. Why people see only bad things in future?

Guruji, when the person is born with the possibility to see some spirits – does he have from the beginning the another type of the relationships with his own spirit?

Guruji : yes, they are much more aware of their spirit, so they can see other spirits.

this is possibility of the body or of the spirit?

Guruji: it is consciousness, awareness. Some people are born with it.

it exists some external features that you can say – oh, that person can see the spirits?

Guruji: no, you can not see external features. But this much I can say – they are look different than normal person always.

how can you judge – people are telling you fairy tales or they are really say the truth?

Guruji: it’s your way to judge.

yoga and aghora – are two branches of the same knowlrdge?

Guruji: aghora is the extremely rare branch. Only extremely advanced yogis may become aghoris.

I’m studying ostheopathy

Guruji: it’s remarkable thing. I think it’s right business, because what I’ve read about godfathers of Italian mafia – they are very good at breaking bones. You will continue to save people – it’s fantastic program. That study give you so much knowledge about human’s body – it’s always needed.

Dreams are not just dreams. Many of them are real astral experience.

very interesting to know the connection between astral world and physical world?

Guruji: astral and physical world are just like this( holds the hands with fingers linked). Without astral – no physical existence is possible.

it looks like some great power give you the student very well prepared from past life?

Guruji: yes, some of my students are like that. But sometimes I’ve got duraks also.

Guruji, I saw you in my night dreams 2 weeks ago. And I was very happy to see you. But at the same time I saw many cobras and one of them bit me. I have a question: is it just a dream? Or is it perhaps a hint to pay attention to something in life?

A: In yogi community it is considered to be a very good sign if a cobra bites you in a dream. It is considered as a direct blessing from Shiva. It is a good thing. Relax

Could we somehow detect the feelings from the different elements in our practice?

Guruji: When your consciousness develops more, that awareness will follow.

But are there some points of concentration for that now?

Guruji: No, it’s just about awareness.

Can that understanding come by reading some text on the subject?

Guruji: Only by developing your consciousness will your awareness grow. Till then it’s nothing.

Will it come like a feelingness or just as a mental understanding?

Guruji: Are you not feeling your physical body with your mind? What is mind and what is physical? Ultimately it is the mind's ability.

True – when we are unconscious there are no feelings.

Guruji: So be conscious, don’t be unconscious

GO TO SLEEP THERE AND WAKE UP HERE

if the person see in the dream that he is flying or diving?

Guruji: most of them are astral experiences, because in the dream we’re seeing dead people also. We talk also with them.

if you see your own death – it is your spiritual development?

Guruji: in India it is saying: if sick man seeing his own death – it might be little bit serious, but if a healthy person seeing his death – it increases his life. This is what we believe.

if we not seeing the dreams?

Guruji: many doctors saying that if you’re not dreaming – then you will be mad person. You may remember them, you may not remember them – that is the difference.

how we can separate simple remembering of the day or week from real astral experience in the dream?

Guruji: dream is real experience. You’re going to sleep here and waking up there. go to sleep there and wake up here – like pendulum thing.

if you’re going to the same place in a dream once in a week or month?

Guruji: you’re really going there. your astral body knows what for.

if I saw one and the same dream about my mother, that she’s alone?

Guruji: where is she now?

she’s living with me.

Guruji: maybe it’s somewhere deep in your child memory – the worry, that your mom is alone. I think it’s the scariest thought for a child – that mom will leave you. Everybody fears that.

what is your opinion about technics which are trying to control your dreams – to see the hands for example?

Guruji: I will say – you cannot control your dreams until unless you’re in the situation your astral body and mind are very powerful and it’s within your power to go anytime to astral at will: then maybe you having some control. Then again the situation will remain the same: how many things in this world you’re able to control? What you’re going to control there? you’re not of much control in our situations.

my friend told me that he can choose where he will go in his dream and what he will do there

Guruji: many people trying to teach you, how to travel astrally; they will give you all the thought process and many different technics – but usually they don’t know much. It’s like auto suggestions. This is human nature: we just want to be in control – and fail all the time.

what can you say about intuition? On what level of thought it is?

Guruji: let’s say it’s the sixth sence. Just the expression of your mind and consciousness.

but it’s not a pure thought.

Guruji: it’s near pure thought.

26. DREAM IS REALISED WHEN GROWTH OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE WOMB IS DISTINCTIVE

here the dream is our sleeping mind, our sleeping consciousness?

Guruji: no, when your subconscious is sleeping and with 2% and less than 2% you hear about superconsciousness which will follow when you will wake up your mind: that will appear like a dream to you in the beginning. It will be unbelievable! That is a dream, which you need to fulfil.

this statement not apply to maya or illusion?

Guruji: for a person who is using only 1,5% of his brain – suddenly how he will have an idea that 100% subconscious will also awaken? It will be just like a dream, impossible imagination.

Telepathy is more elaborate intuition. It’s beyond five senses. It is directly connected with the development of the mind, not with any gland. After some time you will have the feeling to insulate yourself – too many thoughts will disturb your mind.

sometimes it’s very difficult to understand – is it fantasy or is it real?

Guruji: even the fantasy is real as fantasy. Whatever is happening is real. Never doubt yourself.

sometimes we try to analyze the astral experience

Guruji: how can you analyze the astral experience as physical?

to read the meaning of the dream in a dream book?

Guruji: no, you will also begin to understand the meaning of dreams. That understanding will also develop. No book will tell you. Some references may match, but not every experience.

In India, Hindus say that there are four types of communication: Parā (परा), Paśyantī (पश्यन्ती), Madhyamā (मध्यमा), and Vaikharī (वैखरी). Para is mind to mind telepathic ommunication. It is supposed to be the best.

Then there is Paśyantī (पश्यन्ती). Simply, we will look into each other’s eyes, you will understand what the other person is trying to communicate.

Then it comes Madhyamā with the gestures of the physical body and the body language. We will understand what the other person is trying to communicate.

Then the last was is Vaikharī. Then we are using a certain set of sounds, which we call language. It is a set of sounds, different sounds.

So this is the forth one most basic form of communication.
