Secret Teachings of Jesus

April 29, 2007: Preview 2 Part 3

Audience: Will it be possible to harmonize the Chakras using these Mantras?

Babaji: That’s an automatic side effect. One of the topics we have covered in the seminar is the different energy states of the chakras. The purpose of the hatha-yoga system is to cleanse the mind and increase the energy of the chakras. We divide the seven chakras into seven energy states, and we give the symptoms of each one. And then we talk about how to increase the energy.

Just like quantum physics. You have several different energy states of any atom or particle. And as you feed energy into the system, the energy states change in jumps; these are called quantum leaps. You’ve all heard this expression. What does that mean? It means that the system has specific stable states, and as we add the energy to the system, or take energy out of the system, it changes between these states in a jump. It doesn’t go smoothly, it goes in jumps.

The same is true for our chakras. Chakras are energy in our organism. The word chakra means circle. Like a rotating circle, a vortex. So, if you take, by the way this experiment just came out, it was published the other day, a very interesting experiment. You take a bucket, and rotate the bucket. What’s going to happen? It’s very surprising; every one would expect that the water would go up inside of the bucket. That does happen, but at particular rates of rotation. The space of the centre of the water can have three sides, four sides, five sides, six sides, seven sides, just like a chakra. This research was only done last year. But in the Vedas we have known this for thousands of years. When you spin energy, you’ll get geometric shapes, and they change from one to another, and switch from one state to another in a jump. That’s called the quantum leap. So, whenever you rotate energy, you’ll get geometric patterns. And the different chakras are all rotating patterns of energy.

So, we discuss the seven chakras, their functions, and how those functions change in different states. We also discuss the techniques on how to make these changes. It goes together with what we talked before, the different modes of nature. When we act in the modes of ignorance and passion, we’re losing energy; we’re throwing energy out of our system. And so the energy levels of the chakras go down, but if we act in the mode of goodness and we cultivate spiritual knowledge, the energy levels in the chakras go up. And then the higher states of meditation, the energy becomes infinite. But it also changes in quality.

So, it’s not that we reach higher energy states in our chakras, we will become like superman or something, because that would be an increase in the mode of passion. Instead we increase in the mode of goodness, but since nobody knows what the mode of goodness is, it’s very difficult to recognize someone in that state. The first symptom in a higher energy state in the mode of goodness is that they are happy for no reason at all. The next one is, they have complete transcendental knowledge; those two things go together.

So, if someone is actually in a high state of spiritual knowledge, they can automatically explain about the spiritual world, how to meditate, consciousness, yoga and all these subjects. This is not an ordinary thing.

So, by taking this seminar, you will get two of those, to recognize and to understand, and attain these things. Any questions?

Audience: Is it possible, that when one becomes enlightened that we will have the powers that Jesus had to be invisible to the enemies and like that.

Babaji: Well, Jesus is special. He was born directly from his Father. Who is born directly from his Father without a mother? He is unique in the whole universe. He made this universe; he created these planets and stars. And there is a very good description in the Vedas of how he was born, how he achieved his powers, and how he created everything, by sound vibration, by mantras.

And this is very interesting, the scientists came out with these studies, and they were saying [that] after the big bang, how the different galaxies formed was through sound vibrations. But where did the sound vibrations come from? Everything has a source. The scientists don’t know that the source of the material substance is God. And then the source of the sound vibration that make order in the universe is the celestial Christ. We know this!

He has these powers because he made everything, so he knows how everything works. We are not in the same position. Our position is that we have to cooperate with the purpose of God, and that purpose is to bring all of the living entities back to their original spiritual consciousness, because that way we will be happy. God does not want us to suffer in this material world, he wants us to come back to the spiritual world, so we can be happy forever.

We came here because we wanted to be away from Him. I mean, you don’t see God walking down the street here, because when we look outside at this existence, we perceive only matter. If we want to perceive the spiritual world, we have to look inside, and investigate the source of our consciousness. When we do this, then we come in contact with God. And this is the most wonderful experience that can be had. As I said, it’s not done through knowledge; I mean knowledge is necessary so we know how to attain [enlightenment], but it’s actually a function of pure consciousness, because consciousness is spiritual. It doesn’t come from the brain, it comes from the soul.

The brain is an expression of the soul’s consciousness as reflected in matter. It’s like a computer interface that allows us to perceive and manipulate material. But this material world is not our home, because we are spiritual beings. All the material enjoyment and happiness is all imperfect and unsatisfying. So we all have a hunger for spiritual life, spiritual truth, because all these things are eternal, just like we are.

How can we be satisfied with something temporary, because we are eternal? You see? Being in the material world is very frustrating for us, but the secret to getting out is to know our real nature, and then to approach God in a spiritual form. So it’s not enough to know the soul; we have to know the source of the soul. For example, we can see the light coming trough the window, but where is the light coming from? It’s coming from the sun, right? We cannot see the sun directly, but we can see the light, so we know there is a source, because all energy has a source.

Similarly the soul, the source of the soul is God, because we can experience ourselves as a soul. Because we’re conscious, we know that God has to have the same quality. We see the light, so the sun is also bright like that, it has the same quality. Similarly we see the soul has consciousness, personality, individuality, will and so on. So we know that God has the same qualities, but that’s indirect knowledge. We’re meant to have direct knowledge of God. That consciousness will make us fully happy and satisfying.

In the seminar we give you the tools to attain this state. Then afterwards we have a weekly group that meets to help with the practice, because you don’t get the result right away. We have to put these methods into practice for a certain amount of time. We cannot just change years of lifestyle habits just by wanting to. We have to do the work. So, we give you the tools, but you have to apply them. We encourage you, but you have to do the work every day. That’s spiritual life, and it gives wonderful results. So, more questions? Anybody? You look like you have a question.

Audience: What books do you recommend to start reading in the Vedas?

Babaji: Bhagavad-gita. But not any copy of Bhagavad-gita. Most of the translations of the Vedic works are made with incorrect philosophy. Just like the British wanted to convince everyone that the Vedas were primitive mythology. So, everything they translated and published in the West had incorrect philosophy. That’s still going on today, hasn’t sat down. There is only a view translations of the Vedas that are accurate. Mostly of them are wildly inaccurate.

So, we recommend Bhagavad-gita Tal Como Es (As It Is) by Bhaktivedanta swami. He is my Guru. If you want to, you can download it from the internet, the link is; pensarnomata.com/libros/bhagavad-gita.pdf. Is there a pen? I will write it down.

See the Vedas are very voluminous. If we had all the Vedic books here, we would fill this whole room, and there wouldn’t be any room to sit down. This is a very technical book; everything is Sanskrit and Spanish translation. So, if you read it and you get confused, then you have to call us. Don’t try to understand it by yourself, it is very difficult.
