Cosmic Consciousness Experience
Several years ago, one night after finishing a music gig at a club, I came home around 3:00 and proceeded to hit the hay. As soon as I had lain down, I sensed a feeling of being in some sort of 'presence'. At first, I was concerned, and a little leery of what was happening to me. But, I decided to let it run its course and see what happened.
This feeling got more intense, but I was amenable to letting it lead, guide and direct me. And it did. For over an hour, I sat around as this phenomenal experience progressed. Eventually, I felt a need to get up and go to the beach, which was 4 or 5 blocks away. I got dressed, got on my bicycle and pedaled off to the beach, all the while getting euphoric along the way. It was still dark when I arrived at the oceanfront. I positioned myself atop a tall wooden lifeguard chair.
At this point, I am cognizant of how wild and extra-sensory this is, but am ecstatic about the whirlwind ride I am on, and am willing and eager to go onward. I am feeling excited, joyous, and having no concern for any problems. I have a sense of eternal consciousness. No fear.
The morning sun starts to peek into the darkness, and some walkers and joggers are starting to hit the beach. The seagulls are flying and the waves are breaking on the shore, all in the amplified colors of an LSD trip. I am 'at one' with everything. I am a part of, and in everything. I sense an expanded sense of intelligence, intuition, and a relatedness to the 'all' of everything. I relate to being a grain of beach sand, I am the seagull; I can actually be inside the gull and view the beach, and myself, as I fly around.
I feel as if everyone on the beach is my best friend, and I enthusiastically salute and offer a greeting to each passer-by. One beautiful girl approached, and, when she entered in range of my 'energy blanket' she became buzzed, and I felt that I could have seduced her right there on the spot with nary a bit of resistance on her part. That thought dissipated, as my 'experience' was more interesting and overpowering than even this beautiful female creature.
Not knowing what was actually happening to me, how long it would go on, and not caring, I sat on the lifeguard throne for close to an hour. At this point, I could sense a waning of these most wonderful effects. I bicycled home, still with a significant awareness. I went to bed when I got home, but after about an hour of thinking about all this, I knew I might as well get up. A bare thread of this episode lasted until around mid-day. I went about my business the rest of the day as if nothing had happened. But, I knew I had experienced something that only a handful of people that have ever lived experience. It was an episode of 'cosmic consciousness'. This rare and phenomenal occurrence is presented in the famous book 'Cosmic Consciousness' by Richard Maurice Bucke, M.D.
I did not go around telling everyone about the event. It sounds too bizarre, and I only relate it here to make my readers, or clientele aware of where I'm coming from when I present them with certain information regarding consciousness. It left me endowed with sensitivity, and an awareness and intuition that is not commonly possessed. This was a one-time event; having left its mark and influence permanently upon me. My meditation period took on a new intensity and activity factor afterward. This 'presence' would always present itself during the meditation period. This may be considered to be the 'Holy Spirit' of the Bible, as well as being the 'Kundalini' of the Eastern religions. It is the active principle of creation. It is active life force. All this is explained fully in the books Infinity of Intrigue and Life is a Science, Not a Roll of the Dice. During meditation, movements, or krias and mudras, are activated. This activity acts on the physical, emotional, and mental aspects. The action changes each day, and progress ensues in perfect increments.
Let me jump ahead. I observed that many times the movements (krias and mudras) resembled certain movements and postures I did in power yoga, and even traditional exercise. One day, it came to my mind to see if I could give direction to this lifeforce. Lo, and behold, it followed my direction. I started to make my exercise workout a meditation period. I would sit and ask for a consciousness of the presence of pure being to come forth. When the 'presence' was in effect, I would direct it to lead, guide and direct a session, let's say, for legs, and it would. I could even break it down to just the calf of the leg. I would set up the session design, and automatically, movement to the effect would be initiated. The life force was moving me, exercising me, from movement to movement. I could stop the action anytime I desired, and continue again as I let go and let the life force start again.
Understand, I am completely in my normal self-consciousness as this continues. I can also delineate the time frame for the session to last. If I call for the session to last 10 minutes, it will last exactly 10 minutes. I have observed this accuracy by observing the clock. I can leave the time frame open to the discretion of the life force and it will let me know when it is through. I know the session is over by the 'click'. There is a sort of immediate noticeability of when the action starts and when it ends.
Not wishing to belabor this treatise any further, let's say that, through thousands of exercise sessions, I have experienced a myriad of exercises that I have never done, or seen described anywhere else. This has enabled me to devise programs for clients that are intuitively designed and especially beneficial for them.
Here, let me interject the fact that I can either direct the life force to a specific type session, or, I can leave it up to the life force to design a session that it deems to be appropriate. If I leave the timeframe open, the 'force' will end the session, I assume, at the perfect time. Generally, this would be in the 40 minutes range. I'm not going to go into detail here, but, let it be noted that this directional ability can be utilized to perform other assignments.

Kundalini Lasts All Day
Up to the point of the 'cosmic consciousness' experience, my sitting meditation periods were calm and peaceful, but with a wonderful tingling sensation every now and then. After this event, and for a period of about three weeks, my sessions were always accompanied by the presence of the 'Presence.' Something had been activated. At this time, I had moved to the giant loft of an oceanfront building that housed some very exotic antiques that included all manner of furniture and Oriental rugs, etc. A friend of mine provided these living quarters. I chose a large area and arranged some furniture and rugs into a nice living area. There was a bathroom and a small cooking area, so I was set.
I arose one Saturday morning around 8:00 and washed up, etc. I went and looked out the window at the ocean. Casually, the 'Presence' made itself known. Intuitively, I went and lay down on a big Oriental rug in the middle of the room. I was on my back with my hands at my side. The Kundalini / Holy Spirit life force now made itself known. The active principle of creation was operating. A wonderful tingling sensation, akin to a cold chill, but not cold as such, filled me for a short period. What I later learned to be 'krias' began to take place. My body would pulsate as well as vibrate in different areas. My head would shake; my stomach would tighten and vibrate. I assume this would seem to be violent to an observer, but it was somewhat pleasant and easily tolerated, and I had a sense that it was for my good, so I was eager to go with the flow. After all, I had reveled in the 'cosmic consciousness' experience; so let the games begin.
This went on for about two hours. I was getting tired, so I decided to take a break from the action. I got up and sat down for a few minutes. This stopped the action and lifted the 'Presence'. Note that, I could stop the action any time on my own volition, and I could have gone on to some daily activity, but I intuitively went back to the floor. The action begins again around 11:00. I certainly can't remember every movement that occurred, but they were numerous in kind and number. Another three hours of action went by before I was tired again. This was continuous physical action, with only a few brief respites in the activity. I took another break. But, I was determined to ride this experience out, so I hit the floor again. During all this, my mind was very alive, but not concerned, and not rambling around, but centered in the moment's activity. I was in a pleasantly attentive mood throughout the whole affair.
This go-round had an episode that really caught my attention. My sexual organ was aroused for a while, and a feeling of sexual pleasure built up to what normally would have been an orgasm. But, at the last second, things calmed right down, and other activity resumed, lasting until about 5:00. By now, I'm starting to wonder when will this end? I take another break for around twenty minutes, and then go the floor again. The 'Presence' is right back on me, so it's not over yet.
I am calm and undisturbed by all this, but am, of course, extremely curious as to what is happening, and what it means to me. This session produced some remarkable movements and feelings of ecstasy. It lasts for two and a half hours; the last several minutes of which I am perfectly still and immeasurably serene. A 'click' or notice that the whole affair is over takes place, and I get up; intuitively knowing that it is over. This event had lasted almost twelve hours.
Even though this event can be classified as stupendous, my consciousness took it in stride, and I immediately accepted it as part of my life experience. I guess I was better prepared for it than most people would be, due to the fact that I had read extensively on relative subject matter, that I was meditating, that I had the 'cosmic consciousness' experience, and that, as a searcher on the quest, I was open to receive.
I'm not going to go into long detail here, but my emotional awareness and intuitive mental acuity continue to be much heightened since that remarkable day of life force activity. I seem to get more into any type event, happening, or general life occurrence; whether it be a movie, a political debate, a sports event, general conversation, or when I'm out shag dancing. A deeper and more aware sense of the inherent characteristics of people, places, things, and situations is aroused, and this is many times enjoyable and informative. Wherever I am, and at all times, I get a quick notice of everything that is going on around me. It is as if I carry a small leftover seed from the 'cosmic consciousness' episode that enabled me to identify more closely with anything and everything.
Although I have never had another all-day session like that, my meditation period continues to have the active "Presence' operating. The kundalini/holy spirit is still active with krias and mudras. If I sit down and don't issue a decree for a specific action, the kundalini will act on its own initiative and in its own way. However, I can still 'click' in the 'Presence' and direct it to do a specific action, as in performing a certain exercise routine, or acting on a mental or emotional situation.
Kundalini activity came to me to the degree that it did, and still does, naturally, and spontaneously. I always relish the action of kundalini. For me, it has always been a most interesting and gratifying experience. There are various ways to activate kundalini. There are many books that give techniques for activating kundalini. Stay away from them. There are types of yoga that are practiced to induce kundalini action. These practices are forcing the action, and as such, one should be cautious in choosing a teacher. Another way of activation is by the touch or look of a 'realized' master. Jesus, as suggested in the Bible, anointed some of his disciples using this method. And, your 'inner' guru will initiate if the karma is sufficient. I suggest that the intention to know and relate to the life force gets action started in the proper manner and degree relative to each individual. An in-depth study of kundalini and other human life underpinnings are presented in 'Life is a Science, Not a Roll of the Dice' and 'Infinity of Intrigue.'
A heightened sense of self and the ability to read and sense the inner auric energetics of individuals relative to their health and fitness needs would seem to be to the advantage of any clients that may choose to participate in the Life Science Regimen.
‘The inner calling of kundalini/holy spirit is an active passion that consumes a person. It sets in motion action steps to fulfill the service that the soul is guiding them through. It’s a passion that runs so deep within that it can no longer be ignored. This inner action guides and directs a person each and every day with new inspirations, new guidance and ideas if given attention.’
