Intent is very important.  it is a crucial part of finding God again.  yet...is it all that one needs ? 

Intent...according to dictionary:  firmly directed or fixed; earnest; intense 2) having the mind or attention firmly directed or fixed.

do not we need Understanding of what it is were are Intent on ?

some...still see god / creator as some sort of 'bearded fella in the sky...ready to send us to hell for our sins'.

so..should we set our Intent on that God ? a god of dogma....or the real thing. ??

we need to Understand God for the Real God...not the dogmatic God.

many 'religions' still preach about a god of dogma....

so...i believe...there are more ingredients to recipe than just intent...

one must use other ingredients to come up with final recipe, for finding God again.

other ingredients that come to mind....Devotion, Sincerity, Understanding, Patience....Direction

if anyone has other ingredients...please add to list  Wink

Hi Blue Nova,

I do hope you are well on this day. That is the tricky part with intent in that if you are intent on a certain thing to happen a certain way you may miss what you were really looking for. When it comes to matters of spirit if you are intent on looking for a certain God, say that man with a beard you may not find it, or you may. It's hard to say if our mind will create things in the way that we are most comfortable with. I have heard that Angels and Guides use such a tactic to not scare anyone. After all if a giant crocodile was your guide it may scare you at first. If mine was a spider I'd be scared.

Now as Steve has pointed out we are lost in darkness these days. Mainly because we have been guided wrong. We have been told what something is, and isn't. We've been told about going to hell. We've been told about the only way to God is through Jesus, or Krishna. Etc. So in that essence a guru may be beneficial to help steer a person. If you think about it. Just reading online is sort of like a guru. Yea, you can find answers when you meditate. But if no one told you to meditate you wouldn't know.

Those other aspects can be beneficial to a persons growth.. But, IMO, they stem from intent. If you were not intent on going anywhere in your growth you would not have any reason for devotion, or dedication.

TECHNIQUES AND MEDITATION

The science of yoga is the gradual dimming of the senses; then the energy comes in.

Evaluate how much time you are spending with the world and how much time you are spending with God.

Long steadfast practice of Hong-Sau helps the mind to stop and helps pranayama to develop.

Through Kriya Yoga gradually one is immune to astrological forces.

The entire feeling of peace and power at the end of meditation must be consciously transferred to the entire brain in order to change our brains.

If your techniques are not working, look at your attitude toward your Guru, toward life, etc.

The goal of relaxation is to gradually disassociate the mind from the body.

The moment you are calm in meditation, the top of your head opens and millions of light energy units come down to harmonize the body.

The practice of kriya has the ability to bring together differing views and difficult interpersonal challenges. Because kriya brings you directly into the soul of another human being for a time you are freed of any spacial and timely causes for separation. Because kriya brings you to that timeless and spacial expansion that bridges human beings and brakes down separations.

It is interesting the various spiritual expereinces we have with this practice. Now personally it brings me inside to a place that opens the heart and a soft cushion of peace settles over me that evens out the restless thought waves that make it difficult to connect with others. It also gives such a peace that you temporarily feel a connection with all life. The afterglow often resurfaces at various times of the day or nite. The key is to carry this portal paradise with you at all times. This only starts occuring after long years of practice. Stlll for most of us the world has its way of working back into the consciousness and disturbing the pale of peace gathered.
Yet more and more we manifest the qualities that Kriya opens us up to.

Quote from: SpiritImage link=topic=3033.msg15537#msg15537 date=139588994ive
I've skipped around a lot in this book, but I just recently started from the beginning, I'm at chap II verse 47, I usually read just a few pages at a time, then try to think about it a while. Sure, sometimes bouncing thoughts and ideas off someone else can bring out even more thoughts and ideas that may not have come up otherwise. We'll try it,

Seems you've travelled and met a lot of devotees along the way, do you often get to discuss with others? Wish I knew more people practicing yoga or kriya that I could run stuff by.

Nomaste2all and prabhatsinha are also kriyabans. We are fortunate to have them with us. You can find their posts throughout the forum. Nomaste works on computers all day so often becomes weary with them but I often send pm's to him to let him know when I have written something on the site he might be interested in. He will be back again.  Check out pilgrimages. It was his idea to have this section:  http://musicmeditate.smfforfree.com/index.php/board,108.0.html We spent a lot of time on pilgrimages and going to spiritual activities.

I've been a kriyaban most of my life. i liked the idea of burning off karma that kriya is renowned for. I mean we are supposed to store all the seeds of our karma in our astral spine. That is an awesome idea. But how do you get rid of that karma; kriya. It wasn't till kriya that I really noticed progress in meditation. The iam technique has helped me also and some Buddhist techniques.

There are some very kind people here. They come and go and come back. Some of them i miss very much and truly love. Each soul is a unique spark of God. Each one has it's own beauty and purpose. Perhaps that is why i feel for them and still pray for them.

We are like magnets we can draw more to us. You are helping us with your practice and serving here. Thank you. Jesus said where two or more are gathered there i shall be also and for those who have much will be given and to those who have not even that which they have will be taken away. Let us be magnets of spirituality and start here in the now where we find ourselves!

When I was in my late teens and early twenties I felt very lonely spiritually speaking. But I see now that it was meant that way so I would spend time searching within instead of being with so many people and not doing my spiritual practice. I prayed for friends that would understand me and my search. They have come from out of the wood work over the years. Now we have a larger purpose. It is expanding. Perhaps you also have meditation groups in your area. It is a good way to help your own path. Don't miss chances to see saints when they are in your area or go distances to see them. You will have many more chances for spiritual friends and seekers to get aquainted to.

Yes i do get a chance to discuss with others and I am doing it right this moment because we can seize the blessings when they come or let them slide...... That would be most unfortunate.

Jai Guru Spiritimage I find your  interest heart warming and feel God's presence lurking close by.

I've been a kriyaban most of my life.

Then you are leaps and bounds ahead of where I am. Have you reached Samadhi ever?

The mind is a very unstable character. It is the greatest traveler yet cannot be controlled easily. Finding something to harness the minds restless activity brings the mind to places it has never entertained on its own. This is because the mind can only explore what it can come up with. Yet behind the mind are vistas yet to tell. So in kriya we continously bring the thoughts back to the breath and the movement up and down the spine. In this process, at some point the mind will release it's hold on us and we will experience what is beyond mind. It is difficult to describe something that is beyond mind with the mind. So we can only practice to become aware of what I am describing.

According to my crude and non-educated calculations, in order to perform 1728 Kriyas non-stop, I'm guessing about 30 seconds each, is 14+ hours.

I certainly wouldn't want to get halfway thru then be distracted or interrupted somehow  Sad

Recently I have taken more of a look at kriya practice and the IAM practice. I have been giving more awareness to the thought of bringing light up and down the spine and being patient with myself when I rotate that energy along the spine. We have a tendency to rush things in general and it is often the way of the world and other people sometimes rush us which seems contrary to the practice of Kriya.

IAM seems to work better for me when I am limited by time constraints. Bringing the gurus into our practice helps us interiorize.

"Kriya Secrets Revealed" was brought up at another forum.

So was this link (which I've read a few times before)

http://www.sanskritclassics.com/index.htm

Basically it sounds like the book has some Kriya techniques apparently different than SRF.

The link bashes PY pretty hard, and also seems to lean toward Kriya techniques apparently different than SRF.

I'm not feeling the truth about all this yet. Yes I know it doesn't matter, for an endless number of reasons.

Just fishing for some logical insights, thoughts, etc., NOT looking for the old "don't worry about it and you should focus on fill in blank here"  Smiley

I don't know if this will help or not. Maybe you could email Roy Eugene Davis and ask him about this subject. He seems to have a pretty sober outlook on things. I am familiar with the link you posted and it confused me too when I was trying to decide whether I should follow the Kriya yoga path. It's not hard to fall down the rabbit hole and get pretty confused, as that's what happened to me.

Yes it is confusing, sometimes the information power of the internet can be like a curse.

Are these alternate and opposing views part of the reason why you have decided not to receive the Kriya yoga path yet?

As you know there are many ways to get to the top of the mountain. Some people will spend most of their lives discussing the maps and roadways and paths there along with the possible hazards they may encounter along the way. Yet at some point we have to take the journey and find the best route for us. If we are doing this God will make changes in our means of transportation or our route when needed.

Steve I agree with you.

However, Yogananda states very specifically that meditation, and more specifically Kriya Yoga, is the only way to obtain the wisdom needed to get to the top of the mountain. Once that wisdom is obtained, then you don't need Kriya.

But then there's the PY bashers, and of course not only other Gurus from India, but other nations as well with their own top of the mountain methods.

Maybe they all do indeed lead to the same end. Maybe they do not. Maybe God is making changes to guide us that is very individual to where we are at on the path.

All I know is that I cannot have the slightest doubt, even 1% may be a hindrance.

God is the Doer, He has brought forth this information for us to consider and scrutinize.....
