05 July 1973

TOMAS IS HERE. DO YOU HAVE A SUBJECT OR QUESTIONS?

I have a question about Kundalini energy. My impression is that enlightenment requires a great amount of energy, and that it is Kundalini energy. I experienced the energy once at age 37, briefly. What I want to know is, can it be a gift, and if so, can Tomas give it to me?

THIS CANNOT BE COMPLETELY A GIFT — IT REQUIRES WORK ON YOUR PART. IT CAN BE A TEMPORARY GIFT. AS YOU SAY, IT CAN BE PAINFUL TO COME DOWN. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU ASK, IT COULD BE GIVEN.

Can it be given in increments?

IT CAN BE REGULATED. THIS IS ALSO TEMPORARY. SHALL WE TRY THIS IN TWO DAYS? I WILL ATTEMPT TO SEND THE ENERGY SATURDAY, YOUR TIME. MEDITATE, AND THEN WE CAN TRY. THIS EXPERIMENT MAY NOT SUCCEED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT.

Is this the essence of consciousness?

NOT ENTIRELY. BY ITSELF IT CAN BE CALLED INSANITY. THERE ALSO MUST BE UNDERSTANDING.

Then we need more than cramming information?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO. UNDERSTANDING COMES WITH LIVING EXPERIENCE. INFORMATION IS THE ABSTRACT ACQUISITION OF FACTS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE BEEN LIVED THROUGH. THE EXCESS OF INFORMATION IS CONFUSING AND OF NO BENEFIT TO YOUR GROWING PROCESS. IT IS NOT GOOD UNLESS THERE IS UNDERSTANDING ALONG WITH INFORMATION. IN YOUR CASE, THIS IS WHY I SUGGESTED EXERCISE AND MOVING — TO CALM DOWN THE INFORMATION.

I have read of the Rosicrucians and their exercises for development of psychic powers. Are these exercises useful?

I DO NOT KNOW OF THESE. MEDITATION IS THE BEST WAY I HAVE FOUND.

I have difficulty clearing my mind while I am trying to meditate. Can you give me any suggestions?

YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO FIND THE “OFF” BUTTON IN YOUR MIND. TRY SELF-HYPNOSIS AND BREATH DEEPLY. DO NOT TRY TOO HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON NOTHING, AS THEN YOU ARE TRYING TOO HARD, AND THEREFORE THINKING ALL OF THE TIME.

Should we go to Transcendental Meditation classes, as a group, or singly?

MEDITATION ON THE CREDIT PLAN CAN BE HELPFUL. BE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD TEACHERS. BE ALSO SURE YOU WANT THIS.

Is Transcendental Meditation valid?

I WOULD SAY IT DEPENDS UPON THE SOUL INVOLVED. FOR SOME IT IS BETTER TO HAVE TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION. FOR OTHERS IT IS WORKING WELL ALONE. IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL. YOU CAN USE THIS WAY FOR SUGGESTIONS ON QUIETING YOUR MIND. LATER, AFTER UNDERSTANDING COMES, YOU WILL NOT REQUIRE THEIR AID OR SUPPORT. THAT IS LATER; NOW IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Do the planets have an influence on us?

HAVEN’T YOU ALREADY FELT THE INFLUENCE OF THE MOON? TRY AN EXPERIMENT AND CHART YOUR EMOTIONS AND MOVING INSTINCTS. THIS SHOULD PROVE IT TO YOU. IT IS ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE AND IS TRUE.

Have you heard of the “Board of Karma?”

I HAVE NOT HEARD OF THAT ONE UNTIL JUST NOW. STOP ACQUIRING ALL OF THAT DATA. UNDERSTANDING IS UNLIKELY.
