Feel your substance, bones, flesh, blood, saturated with the cosmic essence.
- Three-stage approach — never reach for the cosmic directly: 7 days consciously soaking the whole body in sadness (the surface), then 7 days floating in bliss (the middle), only then the cosmic essence (the innermost core). Start with sadness because you are already an unconscious expert at it; the bliss contrast then makes the deeper state reachable.
- The revealing mechanism: by deliberately authoring sadness for 7 days you discover YOU are its creator, not God/fate/others. If imagination can make you a dead weight, it can make you alive — and you will never be sad the same way again, because you now hold the key.
- Practical instruction: first thought on waking = the Divine arising (not you); last thought before sleep = the Divine resting — prepare the bed for the guest, and fall asleep AS the Divine. Let the Divine eat, work, love, feel hungry; withdraw the ‘I’ so only ‘He’ is there.
- Pitfall / why it works: at first you keep noticing ‘I am only imagining this’ — do not stop. For Tantra imagination is itself a mode of reality, so changing the imagined mode changes the real; persist and you forget you are imagining and the saturation becomes actual.
- Goal — ‘no-moreness’: when the cosmic saturates you completely even for one timeless moment, the ‘I’ is gone — ego, fear and death dissolve and you become life itself, beginningless and endless. That single moment is enlightenment.
- No master needed — this technique works through imagination/mind, never touching the body, so it cannot harm you and can be done alone. Body techniques (asanas, sirshasan) can damage a delicate mechanism that is hard to repair and so require a master.
- From the Q&A — play, not work: the instant you get serious and desire an outcome (enlightenment, bliss) you have turned imagination into desire and lost the point. Approach it as pure play, totally absorbed in the moment like a child who never asks ‘where will this lead?’ — enlightenment is a consequence of the play, not an effect you can aim at.
