Traveling In The Merkaba

How do you travel in your Merkaba? This is a good question and many have asked me this. At the end of my personal experience, I will leave you with many good explanations and methods although this is not how it happened for me to activate it and it may not be how you activate it. We are each on wondrously unique journeys of Remembering.

In 2012, I found myself in a space where I did not have to work and was quite absolutely alone for several months. It was during this time that my merkaba was activated. Of course we all have a merkaba and from my perspective it is a geometric, multidimensional field that surrounds us. We just forgot that it was there. During this time in solitude I was hit by a complete exhaustion and getting dressed was a chore, never mind getting to the grocery store. Considering the state I was in, I was taking meticulous care of myself. My physical body felt as if moving was like trying to walk through water with all of my body pushing against some thick viscosity. So, in essence I was forced to spend my time reading and meditating. This was no accident. I began to have clear visual contact with my guides and there was a sadness during this period as if I was losing parts of me that I loved dearly. I feel this is because my previous guides were leaving and my multidimensional aspects were coming in. I saw an egg shaped greyish lavender head with almond shaped large eyed guide lovingly looking at me. It comforted me and filled me with great love. During this same time, I discovered the Arcturians online and as I read their words on Sue Lie’s website, my heart jumped and tears rolled down my eyes. I was remembering my home.

I began to ask for assistance with the physical exhaustion and my meditations became very vivid. I felt my guides all around me and could feel them building my energy field. In my third eye, triangles of light would flash in front of my vision and enter my third eye. An upside down triangle of light would enter my crown chakra and they would meet in the center of my mind and form a star. The star would spin, at first very slow and then would take on a constant slow speed and sometimes my whole head would move with the motion. It all felt wonderful and I began to notice triangles Everywhere in places I had never seen them before. I knew nothing of sacred geometry at the time and although my aspects had told me that this was a “download”, I thought it was a download of energetic healing. Many times this happened in my meditations and I simply enjoyed it and thanked my aspects.

Some time later during a meditation I was taken through a sequence where white light entered my crown chakra and activated the star, continued down my spinal column through the chakras and into Gaia, then shot back up to my heart where another star formed and began to spin so that I became a diamond of light and then disappeared in a flash! I was so excited by this remembrance that I wanted to do it again but my guides simply said, not now. This was my memory of ascending into a higher frequency before. I did not know that then, but I remembered it was incredible!

My merkaba came fully online while working in a worldwide galactic group. The Arcturians led it through Sue Lie. The exercises of remembering who we were triggered my merkaba. That’s when my meditations became journeys into the multidimensional realms and many of my multidimensional aspects came into my consciousness. When I would sit or lie down to meditate, the star would spin and it would seem that I was moving outward on a journey through the dimensions yet I have come to understand that I am not moving outward, I am traveling within the universe that is within all of us. I ask my multidimensional selves, my higher self and my family of light to join me and my star within my third eye begins to spin. My multidimensional selves guide me as they Are Me in different dimensional experiences. As my merkaba fully came online and enabled me to move between the dimensions, my higher self appeared as a golden flaming orb of light. I had no idea what this enormous orb of flaming light was as it first entered my consciousness so I asked, “Who are you?” It replied, “I Am That I Am.” I have experienced moving through my higher self several times after my merkaba was activated. Initially my journeys felt like lucid dreams and the energies that I was experiencing were very intense and it was quite difficult to walk between the dimensions and function in this one. Not to mention that multidimensional aspects of myself continued to appear to the point where I wondered if my brain could handle everything that I was experiencing. Thought and intention are imperative and once my merkaba activates I allow my multidimensional aspects and family of light to direct me to the dimensional experience as in this multidimensional field I can think myself instantaneously anywhere. There is great rrust in the wisdom and understanding that my multidimensional aspects have the larger picture and that I will be taken to the experience that is needed at that moment. I have expanded exponentially to the point where if you asked me who I am my only answer could be, I am everything and nothing.

As in astral travel I do not experience the total leaving of my body. I have once traveled through the astral realm or what I know to be the fourth dimension yet I was in my planetary eagle lightbody, not my merkaba multidimensional field. Although I have astral traveled a couple of times, quite by accident, my fear of heights brought me back into my body pretty quickly. I never had a desire to do this. It is as if I am shifting my consciousness into a living dream that is reality and experience various aspects of the reality of all that is. I see, hear, smell and vibrationally feel the experience. When I return, I am returning my consciousness fully to my body and my focus returns here from the reality that I have just been experiencing. It is as if I am returning to the dream in this dimensional reality yet when I shift my consciousness to other realities, led by my multidimensional aspects, the other realities begin to feel and appear more real. Three dimensional reality begins to deconstruct and there is the awareness that there is only a small fractal of my myself focused here. Over time it has become a much easier shift back and forth between the other dimensions and the 3D construct. My intention in writing this is to demystify what is natural and inherent within us. This is a living, energetic multidimensional field around and within all of us. I was very fortunate that as my merkaba came online I had access to a wonderful woman who had studied sacred geometry in depth. I am grateful that she shared her knowledge and understanding with me during that time. It is a study well worthwhile and I have experienced myself as all aspects of the five platonic solids of sacred geometry while traveling within my consciousness. Most predominantly, I experience being within the octahedron. I have seen the flower of life grid surrounding me as well as a torus field while within my merkaba. I have experienced being a nucleus within a simple circle. I have also experienced a heart merbaba. Yet the energies are accelerating and I do not personally believe that we are required to undertake years of esoteric study to remember what and who we already are. We are multidimensional beings of immense light having a human experience that is coming to it’s conclusion. It has all been done and we have played our roles and remembered what we are Not.

Time to remember who we are! We are spirit within matter, remembering to unite heaven with earth. For the people that have asked me how to activate their merkabas I have responded that I would set my intention to do so. Just as you have your daily practice of meditation, yoga or whatever gives you joy, if this is your joy then ask for assistance from your guides and set the intention to do so. If it is in alignment with your higher self then there is nothing that you can’t do.

For your interest I have included interesting information on the Merkaba and meditations to get it moving should you desire. The picture included with this blog is the best representation I could find of the field that I have seen while traveling within my merkaba. There are many paths to the same destination.

 

The "Flower of Life" can be found in all major religions of the world. It contains the patterns of creation as they emerged from the "Great Void". Everything is made from the Creator's thought.

After the creation of the Seed of Life the same vortex's motion was continued, creating the next structure known as the Egg of Life. This structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music. It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (The first cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight). Thus this same structure as it is further developed, creates the human body and all of the energy systems including the ones used to create the Merkaba.

 

WHAT’S A MERKABA?

A merkaba is a star tetrahedron, a three dimensional 8 pointed star made from two triangular pyramids, one pointing up and the other down. It harmonizes male and female energy, much like a Yin/Yang symbol. The star of David is a two dimensional version of a merkaba, and was reputed to have been painted on the shields of the armies of King David as a symbol of divine protection. The merkaba does, in fact, step down source energy into the physical and is a representational invocation of “as above, so below”. The pyramid pointing upwards connects us to heavenly universal energy and represents yang, positive energy flows. The pyramid pointing downward connects to the earth and resonates with yin, negative energy flows.

The merkaba is emblematic of the greater energy field that surrounds our body beyond our field auric field. Most people who can view auras see them as a diffuse egg-shaped color field around our body that changes colors and ranges in size from 6-36 inches. Beyond our Aura we have the etheric field, and further out we have an immense energy field, reputed to grow up to 55 feet across and saucer-shapped when it is fully energized: our Merkaba, our light body. A properly functioning Merkaba field is not static, but comprised of the two tetrahedrons spinning incredibly fast in opposite directions, creating a light body that is capable of great feats, including interdimensional and interstellar travel.

Merkabas are believed to be the same divine light vehicle used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. It is thought by many that the “chariots of fire” mentioned in the bible are these same vehicles. Mer-Ka-Ba literally means light-spirit-body in Hebrew, denoting the harmonious activation of the three fields. When your Merkaba is active you are tapped in to all Source energy and locked into the Earth’s living matrix. Your DNA is fully turned on and the potentional for immortality and time travel are there. Your soul excels. Your body heals itself and you have the potential for limitless creation.

HOW TO ACTIVATE & PROGRAM YOUR MERKABA

Your merkaba is in constant communication and connection with all of Source. It is your creative matrix that allows you to combine your soul intention with the spark of god-energy and literally create your reality however you want. Like a crystal, it can be programmed through meditation and by setting your intention. All that is required is for your merkaba to be actively spinning, which is done through breathing exercises and habit, and by simply instructing your merkaba as to what you want it to do. You are the only one on earth who can work with or program your merkaba. No other human or healer may influence the programming of your merkaba, although a healer may work on your breathwork and energy patterning to help facilitate merkaba activation.

Most people choose to pattern their merkabas in one of two ways: active or reactive. Active programming is very yang in energy, task specific, detailed and proactive: if there is negative energy in a room emanating from a person or geopathic stress, you can program your merkaba to deflect it. If you are wanting a specific job, your merkaba can reach into the energy matrix of the Earth and help conspire to create this specific reality. Reactive, female patterning is more reactive and open than the active patterning, it tends to use overarching instructions such as “I program my merkaba to flow with ease in this physical earth reality and to see that all my needs and desires are fulfilled for the highest good of all involved.” There is less judgment of specific situations and more acceptance and anticipation of the synchronicity. Neutral programming is the way of the Tao, neither reactive nor proactive, it simply is. Situations come and go with equal lack of prejudice or preference. This sort of programming is common in those pursuing a monastic life.

A Meditation with Your Merkaba:

Sit or lie down, close your eyes and settle your mind.

First let us see the tetrahedrons surrounding your body: the male pyramid points upwards and begins at your knees, extending several feet above your head. The female pyramid extends downwards from your shoulders and reaches several feet below your own feet. Are your pyramids spinning? Let us activate them now so that each pyramid spins in a different direction – the male pyramid spins from left to right around your body, and the female pyramid spins from right to left around your body. Together, they energize your meridians more fully. As they spin, see them create a light field around your body, growing larger and larger in a saucer like shape expanded by the centrifugal force of the merkaba.

Breathe in, and out, in and out, a circular pattern that further fuels your merkaba. Now think about abou how you, personally, would like to pattern your merkaba. How will you put your personal computer to work for you? Take some time to focus your attention on the matter, and set your intention with your merkaba now.

Know that whatever you have intended, your merkaba is now working on it completely, without deviation of failure.

As you have willed it, so shall it be.

Now slowly take your focus off your merkaba, and return to your aura, see the healthy glow all around you, your chakras in tune, your cells turned on to their full potential. You are energized and you are well.

Return now, into your body, into this room, and be ready for LIFE!

The Merkaba

Ancient mystical traditions (such as the Kabbalah), and contemporary channelled information (such as the “Keys of Enoch”) speak of the Merkaba as a vehicle for inter-dimensional travel. As we approach the moment of the Shift, formerly secret teachings about the Merkaba are coming to light. Is it possible to create a living Merkaba field through meditation?

Does such a field facilitate communication with your higher self? Is the Merkaba a means of Ascension?

Merkaba Meditation

THE MERKABA

The word Merkaba is made up of three smaller words — Mer, Ka, and Ba, which, as we are using them, came from ancient Egyptian texts. It is also pronounced in various languages as Merkabah, Merkava, and Merkavah. Though there are several pronunciations of the word, generally we can pronounce it as if the three words were separate (i.e., with somewhat equal accents on each syllable).

“Mer” refers to a specific kind of light that what understood in Egypt only during the 18thDynasty. It was seen as a two counter-rotating fields of light spinning in the same space, which are generated under certain breathing.

“Ka” refers to the individual spirit’s interpretation of its particular reality.

In our particular reality, “Ba” is usually defined as the body or physical reality.

In other realities where spirits don’t have bodies, Ba refers to their concepts or interpretation of the reality that they bring to them.

So, the Merkaba is a counter-rotating field of light that affects spirit and body simultaneously. It is a vehicle that can take spirit and body (or one’s interpretation of reality) from one world, or dimension into another. In fact, the Merkaba is much more than this, because it can create reality as well as move through realities. For our purpose here however, we will focus mainly on its aspect as an interdimensional vehicle (Merkaba means “chariot” in Hebrew), that will help us return to our original higher state of consciousness.

Once the Merkaba field around your body is initiated, it will create a disk that extends 55ft out of the base of your spine, which actually looks just like a flying saucer. When you are in the Merkaba, your thoughts and feelings become thousands of times more powerful. You will also be able to create a magnetic field that will keep your memories intact so that you will become immortal. In other words, there will be no break in your memory. Those who are unable to initiate their Merkaba’s will ultimately have their memories and minds erased when the magnetic field around the Earth collapses, and they will have to start all over again. You see, it is not exactly like re-incarnation. It is more like unplugging a computer and losing all of the programming.

You’ll be able to move through the dimensional levels, but you will lose awareness on the other side. However, certain highly evolved people (two, working together to construct a Merkaba), will be able to bring approximately 150,000 people with them.

To be clear, returning to our original state is a natural process which can be easy or difficult according to our belief patterns. However, just becoming involved with the technical relationships of the Merkaba, such as correcting our breathing patterns or mentally realizing the infinite connections to all patterns of Life, for example, is not enough. Indeed, there is at least one other factor that is even more important than the Merkaba itself, and that is the understanding, realization, and living of Divine Love. For it is Divine Love (sometimes referred to as Unconditional Love), that is the primary factor that allows the Merkaba to become a living field of light. Without Divine Love, the Merkaba is just a machine, and this machine will have limitations that will never allow the spirit that created it to return “home”, and reach the highest levels of consciousness — the place where there are no levels.

We must be experiencing and expressing Divine love in order to move beyond a certain dimension (and the world is fast heading toward that higher place!). Indeed, we are moving away from the place of separatism where we see only ourselves inside the body looking out. That view will be gone soon, to be replaced with a different view of reality, where we’ll have the sense of absolute unity with all life; and that sense will grow more and more as we continue to move upward through each level on our journey HOME.

THE MERKABA IN THE BIBLE

Although “Mer-ka-ba” is usually considered to be an Egyptian word, it also appears in the Hebrew language. In the English versions of the Bible, it is usually translated as “chariot”. The Hebrew letters that spell out the word Mer-ka-ba are Mem-Resh-Caph-Beth, from the root word, Resh-Caph-Beth, meaning to “ride”. Mer-ka-ba, and two related words, mer-kab and re-kev, are usually translated as “chariot”, or sometimes as “wagon”, but they really are equivalent to the English word “vehicle”, or “conveyance”, that is, something that transport you somewhere. This root has come down in modern Hebrew in the word rakevet, which means “railroad”.

Now the story gets more interesting when we remember that the most ancient teaching of the Kabbalah, (i.e., the occult and mystical tradition within Judaism) was the Merkaba meditation. The Talmud mentions the Merkaba meditation when it says that Judah the Prince forbade any mention of it in the Mishnah, presumably because it was mystical teaching. However, references to it in the Tosefta, which is kind of a appendix to the Mishnah, as well as some surviving manuscripts point to Merkaba meditation being practised at least as far back as the second century B.C.

Although we can only speculate, it appears that Merkaba practitioners combined meditation, prayer, and yogic postures in such a way that they ascended, or descended, in their Merkaba’s, in their “vehicles”, to realms where they literally saw Angels, celestial halls, and the throne of glory itself. Now one question that comes to mind is, “Where did the Kabbalists really go?” The answer would seem to be that, “they travelled to other dimensions of reality.”

Both the scientific community, and those of mystical/occult leanings seem to be headed toward a shared understanding that, as far as reality goes, what we see, isn’t all we get, that is, the physical reality that we perceive isn’t the only one that there is. It’s the only one we’re tuned to, and it is increasingly clear that there are other realities, or dimensions of reality, if you will, that exist simultaneously in time and space with this one. It is sought of like channels on your TV. If someone said to you, “ My TV doesn’t get SBS, but last night I hooked up a satellite dish and I watched a movie on SBS”, you wouldn’t say to him, “ You only dreamed you watched SBS”, or “You only hallucinated that you watched a movie on SBS”. We would accept that the satellite dish allowed him to tune into a wavelength that his TV couldn’t normally receive. In a similar way, the practitioners of the Merkaba meditation, and the prophets as well, I would propose, had mastered an art of tuning into different, and higher, dimensions of reality.

The multi-dimensional nature of reality, as well as the ability to move between dimension, also explains how beings such as angels are able to disappear at will, merely by tuning into, and then out of our dimension of reality. Devas, faerie, and Ufos can be similarly explained. In fact, the Masters teach us that the dimensional levels are separated by a wavelength ( e.g. the 3rd dimension has a wavelength of 7.3 cm), and 90 degrees. You may have heard stories of Ufos striking across the sky, taking a 90 degree turn, and disappearing. The beings on this UFO have linked together their consciousness, and made a specific change inside of themselves, which happens to be related to this 90 degrees. When they do so through their breathing and their connection, they can make the entire ship disappear, and move into the dimensional level that they tuned to. But let’s get back to the Bible.

The most striking example of Merkaba meditation is found in yet another prophetic book, second Kings, in the story of Elijah. Now in the Jewish tradition, Elijah is the most beloved of all the prophets. A glass of wine for him at the Passover seder, and a chair is set aside for him at ritual circumcision. These symbolic gestures invite Elijah to join in these celebrations. Why is Elijah invited, and not any other figure of the Bible, or Jewish history and legend? Because Jewish tradition holds that it will be Elijah that comes to announce the arrival of the Redemption. In the Gospels, Elijah is mentioned over 24 times (under his Greek name “Elias”), and it is always in this connection. So why does Elijah have this honour? Why not Moses, or King David, who after all, is the root of the line that is supposed to produce the Messiah?

Jewish tradition holds that Elijah will be the forerunner of the Messiah because.....ELIJAH NEVER DIED!! It says so in the Bible! In the second chapter of the second book of Kings, we read that Elijah, and his disciple Elisha, were on a walking tour of Judah. At Bethel, the brotherhood of prophets came out to greet Elijah, and 50 of the brotherhood follow them to the ford in the Jordan. Who were those brotherhood of prophets? The Hebrew phrase that describes them is b’naiha-nevi’im, and it appears NOWHERE ELSE in the Bible. This fact alone hints at something very special, perhaps these brotherhoods were ancient Jewish mystery schools, akin to the mystery schools of Egypt and Persia, where inter-dimensional travel was taught.

The story continues. Elijah and Elisha cross the Jordan. Suddenly a Merkaba of fire appears, and Elijah disappears in a whirlwind. That is it. On the third dimension of reality, the one we’re are tuned to, Elijah has disappeared!

Now most scholars of the rationalist bent explain these verses in the following way: Elisha had a “vision” of a war chariot of fire, and in his disassociated state, he “imagined” something chaotic (the “whirlwind”), and that this was how he experienced the physical death of his master. Nevertheless, we find something very curious going on with this word “whirlwind”, which indicates, one could believe, that we are dealing here with more than a hallucination.

It is known that inter-dimensional travel involves counter-rotating energy fields, vortices if you like, or “whirlwinds” if you are viewing it from the perspective of 850 BC. This detail in the story supports the notion that Elijah travelled somewhere else. For many people, this seems far-fetched, and so, perhaps one more detail which suggests very strongly that there is some mystery hidden in the story of Elijah’s Ascension. And that is that these two verses, and nowhere else in the Hebrew bible, the word for “whirlwind” is misspelled.

For the Masoretic scholars in Tiberius, who fixed the pronunciation of the Hebrew Bible in 900 AD, to have misspelled “whirlwind” in only these two verses, implies that there was an oral tradition that was kept alive since the Babylonian exile, that is, for 1400 years that said, “Spell it s’oroh everywhere else in the Bible, but in these two verses, spell it suh-orah!” The survival of this odd pronunciation, diligently passed on orally from generation to generation, through all of the wanderings and dislocations of the Jewish people, indicates something very special in these verses.

Any interpretation of documents and traditions this ancient, it open to question. Nevertheless, it seems obvious that this unbroken tradition of the misspelling of the Hebrew word for whirlwind is meant to alert us to something very uncanny in this story. Would it be far-fetched to say that this is saying to us: Do not accept that Elisha has a vision of a war chariot of fire, and a whirlwind that Elijah seemed to disappear into.

Imagine, rather, that Elijah entered a Merkaba, a thought-formed vehicle, and ascended out of our dimension of reality, in counter-rotating fields of energy, the whirlwind, without leaving his physical body.

In a little-known Kabbalistic text, the Midrash to Proverbs, Rabbi Ishmael says:

If there comes before God one who is learned in the Talmud, the Holy One says to him: “My son, since you have studied the Talmud, why have you not also studied the Merkaba, to perceive my splendour? For none of the pleasure I have in my creation is equal to that which is given me when scholars look beyond the Torah and see and behold and meditate on: My throne, and the hashmal seen by Ezekial, and the fiery streams under my throne, and the bridges that cross it, and the ofanim [a class of angels], and the gilgalim [another class of angels]. And is this not my greatness, and My glory and My beauty: that my Children know My splendour by seeing all this?

Rabbi Ishmael concludes:

And this is what King David meant when he wrote in Psalms: “O Lord, how manifold are thy works!”

PRANIC BREATHING

Let’s go back to Atlantis, when things began to fall apart on the dimensional levels. We, at this time, fell from a very high level of consciousness, down, down, down, all the way to this third dimensional Earth, which is almost the bottom of the barrel of consciousness, or self awareness. In fact, science tells us that we are the highest beings on the planet, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Indeed, before we fell, we use to breathe in a way that was totally different than today. The air around you is filled with oxygen, hydrogen, carbon-dioxide, and all the trace elements. However, there is something else beside the air that the Hindu’s call “prana”. It is the life-force energy itself. However, prana, unlike air which cannot pass through walls and solid matter, is able, and does, pass through anything and everything, even great voids—prana is everywhere, and is everything.

We used to take air in through our mouths, nose and lungs, but we also took in prana via the top of our heads (the Crown Chakra), and from below our feet, via the Base Chakra, and then through a tube in the centre of our bodies, that still exists today. Even though the tube is still there, it is only being utilised by a few highly trained people like certain Tibetan Lamas. Otherwise, the average person walking the street is not even aware of it, and thus it does not function as it should. In fact, when we breathed in that way, the prana, as it came through the top of the head, would pass directly through a particular gland known as the “pineal gland”.

The pineal gland is located deep, and almost centre, within the brain, and it used to play a huge role in consciousness. This gland has degenerated from its original size (comparable to a ping-pong ball), to its present size comparable to a dried up pea. This is because we forgot how to use it a long time ago—and if you don’t use it, you lose it.

According to Jacob Liberman (Light, the Medicine of the Future), this gland looks like an eye, and in some respects, it is literally an eyeball. It is round, it has an opening on one portion, and in that opening is a lens for focusing light! It is also hollow, and it has colour receptors inside. It’s primary field of view ( though this has not been determined scientifically) is upward, toward the heavens. Just as our eyes on our face can look upto 90 degrees away from the direction they are set, the pineal gland can also “look” as much as 90 degrees away from its set direction (up). And just as we cannot look out the back of our heads, the pineal gland cannot look down.

Held inside the pineal gland (even in its shrunken size), are all the geometries and understanding of exactly how the Reality was created. It’s all there, in every single person. Most of us lost our memories during the fall, and are only just now starting to re-remember and access this higher knowledge.

Indeed, without our memories, we began to breathe differently. Instead of taking prana through the pineal gland, and circulating it up and down our central tube, we started breathing it in through the nose and mouth. This caused the prana to by-pass the pineal gland, which resulted in our seeing things in a totally different way—through a different interpretation of the Reality called “polarity consciousness”.

Polarity consciousness sees everything as either good or bad, black or white, female or male. We see ourselves as inside a body, and everything out there is totally unrelated to everything else. But we don’t see that because of the way we breathe. This “new” way of breathing also triggered us to take up other “new habits”, like eating food which we never did before. Our bodies became denser and denser, thus pushing us into a denser level of existence.

THE MERKABA MEDITATION: By Drunvalo Melchizedek

Like the sun, we must breath, radiating out to all life. And from all life we will receive our manna.

Begin by creating a place in your home that is used only for this meditation. Make a space where no one will walk through or disturb you, possibly in your bedroom. A small altar with a candle and a cushion or pillow to sit upon may be helpful. Make this place holy. It is here that you will learn to create the MER-KA-BA around your body and make conscious contact with your higher self.

Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you are a conscious breather, remembering with each breath your intimate connection with God.

To begin the meditation, first sit down and relax. Let the worries of the day go. Breathe rhythmically and shallow. Be aware of your breath and relax. When you feel the tension begin to fade, begin to open your heart. Feel Love. Feel Love for all life everywhere. Continue to breathe rhythmically, being aware of your breath, and feel the Love moving through your spirit. When the FEELING of love is in your beingness, you are ready to begin to move towards the experience to the MER-KA-BA. Without this Love, no amount of knwoledge will create the MER-KA-BA. To the degree you are able to Love, will be the degree you will be able to experience the MER-KA-BA.

The following is an overview of the meditation to reach the MER-KA-BA. There are seventeen breaths to reach completion. The first six are for balancing of the polarities within your eight electical circuits, and , also, for the cleansing of these circuits. The next seven, which are quite different, are to reestablish the proper pranic flow through your body, and to recreate Spherical Breathing within your body. The fourteenth breath is unique unto itself. It changes the balance of pranic energy within your body from third dimensional to fourth dimensional awareness. The last three breaths recreate the rotating fields of the MER-KA-BA within and around your body.

The instructions: The following instructions will be broken down into four areas: MIND, BODY, BREATH and HEART

FIRST BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Open your heart and feel love for all life. If you cannot do this, you must at least open to this love as much as is possible for you. This is the most important instruction of all.

MIND: Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to thge sun, the point facing to the front for male, the point to the back for females) filled with the brilliant white light surrounding your body. Visualize it the best you can. If you cannot visualize it, sense or feel it surrounding you.

BODY: At the same moment of inhalation, place your hands in the mudra of your thumb and first finger touching. Remember, lightly touch your fingers, and do not allow your fingers to touch each other or any other object. Keep your palms facing up.

BREATH: At this same moment, with empty lungs, begin to breath in a complete yogic manner. Breathe through your nostrils only, except at certain places which will be described. Simply put, breath from your stomach first, then your diaphragm, and finally your chest. Do this in one movement, not three parts. The exhale is completed either by holding the chest firm and relaxing the stomach, slowly releasing the air, or by holding the stomach firm and relaxing the chest. The most important aspect is that this breathing must be rhythmic. Begin by using seven seconds in and seven seconds out, but as you get familiar with this meditation, find your own rhythm. The following instructions for a complete Yogic Breath are from "the Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" by Yogi Ramacharake. Perhaps this description will be helpful.

Breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, first filling the lower part of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the diaphagm, which descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal organs, pushing forward the front walls of the abdomen. Then fill the midddle part of the lungs, pusing out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest. Then fill the higher portion of the lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus lifting the chest, including the upper six or even pairs of ribs. At first reading it may appear that this breath consists of three distinct movements. This, however, is not the correct idea. The inhalation is continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lowered diaphragm to the highest point of the chest in the region of the collar bone, being expanded with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations, and strive to attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome the tendency to divide the inhalation into three movements, and will result in a uniform continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a few seconds after a little practice.

Exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a firm position, and drawing the abdomen in a little and lifting it upward as the air leaves the lungs. When the air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. A little practice will render this part of the exercise easy, and the movement once acquired will be afterward performed almost automatically.

FIRST BREATH: Exhale

HEART: Love

MIND: Become aware of the female tetrahedron, (apex pointing to the earth, point facing to the back for males, point facing to the front for females), also filled with the brilliant white light

BODY: Keep the same mudra.

BREATH: Do NOT hesitate at the top of the inhalation to begin the exhalation. Exhale quite slowly, approximately seven seconds, in the Yogic manner. When the air is out of the lungs, without forcing, relax the chest and abdomen and HOLD the breath. When you feel pressure to breathe again, after about five seconds or so, then do the following:

MIND: Be aware of the flat equilateral triangle at the top of the female tetrahedron located in the horizontal plane that passes through your chest at the sternum. In a flash, and with a pulse like energy, send that triangular plane down through the female tetrahedron. It gets smaller as it goes down and pushes out the tip or apex of the tetrahedron all the negative energy of the mudra or electrical circuit, a light will shoot out of the apex toward the center of the Earth. The Mind exercise is performed along with the following BODY movements.

BODY: Move your eyes slightly toward each other, or, in other words, slightly cross your eyes. Now bring them up to the top of their sockets, or in other words, look up. Also, this looking up motion should not be extreme. You will feel a tingling feeling between your eyes in the area of your third eye . You can now look down to the lowest point you can, as fast as you can. You should feel an electrical sensation move down your spine. The MIND and BODY must coordinate the above mental exercis e with the eye movements. The eyes look down from their up position at the same time the mind sees the triangular horizontal plane of the female tetrahedron move down to the apex of the female tetrahedron. This combined exercise will clean out the negative thoughts and feelings that have entered into your electrical system. Specifically, it will clean out the part of your electrical system that is associated with the particular mudra you are using. Immediately upon pulsing the energy down your spine, you change mudras to the next one and begin the entire cycle over again. The next five breaths are a repeat of the first breath with the following mudra changes:

Second breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together Third breath mudra: Thumb and third finger together Fourth breath mudra: Thumb and little finger together Fifth breath mudra: Thumb and first finger together (same as first breath) Sixth breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together( same as second breath)

The first part, the first six breaths, the balancing of the polarities, and the cleansing of your electircal system is now complete. You are now ready for the next part, the next seven breaths.

Here an entirely new breathing pattern begins. You do not need to visualize the star tetrahedron at this time. Only the tube that runs through the star, from the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of the female tetrahedron below your feet, needs to be seen and worked with. This extends one hand length above your head and one hand length below your feet. The diameter of YOUR tube will be the size of the hole formed by YOUR thumb and forefinger touching.

BREATH NUMBER SEVEN: Inhale

HEART: Love. There is another refinement here that can be used after you have perfected this meditation. It will be discussed in class.

MIND: Visualize or sense the tube running through your body. The instant you begin the seventh inhale, see the brilliant white light of the prana moving down the tube from the top and up the tube from the bottom at the same time. This movement is almost instantaneous. The point where these two light beams meet within your body is controlled by the mind and is a vast science known throughout the universe. In this teaching however, we will only be shown what is necessary , that which will take you from third to fourth dimensional awareness. In this case you will direct the two beams of prana to meet at your navel, or more correct, within your body at navel level, inside the tube. The moment the two beams of prana meet, which is just as the inhale begins, a sphere of white light or prana is formed at the meeting point about the size of a grapefruit centered on the tube. It all happens in an instant. As you continue to take the inhale of the seventh breath, the sphere of prana begins to concentrate and grow slowly.

BODY For the next seven breaths use the same mudra for both inhale and exhale, the thumb, first and second touching together palms up.

BREATH: Deep rhythmic Yogic breathing, seven seconds in and seven seconds out. There is no holding of the breath from now on. The flow of prana from the two poles will not stop or change in any way when you go from inhale to exhale. It will be a continuous flow that will not stop for a long as you breath in this manner, even after death.

SEVENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere centered at the navel continues to grow. By the time of the full exhale, the prana sphere will be approximately eight or nine inches in diameter.

BREATH: Do not force the air out of your lungs. When your lungs are empty naturally, immediately begin the next breath.

EIGHTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Love.

MIND: The prana sphere continues to concentrate life force energy and grow in size

EIGHT BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere continues to grow in size and will reach maximum size at the end of this breath. This maximum size is different for each person. If you put your longest finger in the center of your navel, the line on your wrist defining your hand will show you the radius of the maximum size of this sphere for YOU. This sphere of prana cannot grow larger.

NINTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: The prana sphere cannot grow larger, so what happens is the prana begins to concentrate within the sphere. The visual appearance is that the sphere grows BRIGHTER. <_P> BREATH: Sphere grows brighter and brighter as you inhale.

NINTH BREATH: Exhale

BREATH: As you exhale, the sphere continues to grow brighter and brighter.

TENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: About half way through this inhale, as the sphere continues to brighter, the prana sphere reaches critical mass. The sphere ignites into a sun, a brilliant blinding ball of white light. You are now ready for the next step.

TENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: At the moment of exhale, the small sphere two hand lengths in diameter bulges to expand. In one second, combined with the breath talked about below, the sphere expands quickly out to the sphere of Leonardo, out at your finger tips of your extended arms. Your body is now completely enclosed within a huge sphere of brilliant white light. You have returned to the ancient form of spherical breathing. However, at this point, this sphere is not stable. You MUST breath three more times to keep the sphere stable.

BREATH: At the moment of exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow out your air with pressure. As you feel the sphere begin to bulge, all within the first second of this exhale, let all of your air out rapidly. The sphere will expand at that moment.

PART3: ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH BREATH: Inhale and Exhale

MIND: Relax and just feel the flow of the prana flowing from the two poles and meeting at the navel and then expanding out to the large sphere

BREATH: Breath rhythmically and deep. At the end of the thirteenth breath you have stabilized the large sphere and are ready for the important 14th breath.

THE FOURTEENTH BREATH

HEART: Love

MIND: On the inhale of the 14th breath, at the very beginning of the breath, move the point where the two beams of prana meet from the navel to the sternum, the fourth dimensional chakra. The entire large sphere, along with the original sphere, which is also still contained within the large sphere, moves up to the new meeting point within the tube. Though this is very easy to do, it is an extremely powerful movement. Breathing from this new point within the tube will inevitably change your awareness from third to fourth dimensional consciousness, or from earth consciousness to Christ consciousness. It will take awhile, but as I have said , it is inevitable.

BODY: This mudra will be used for the rest of the meditation. Place the left palm on top of the right palm for males and the right palm on top of the left palm for females. It is a mudra that relaxes.

BREATH: Rhythmic breath and deep. However, if you continue to breathe from your Christ center without moving on to the MER-KA-BA, which is what is recommended until you have made contact with your Higher Self, then shift to a shallow breath. In other words, breath rhythmically but in a comfortable manner where your attention is more on the flow of energy moving up and down the tube meeting at the sternum and expanding out to the large sphere. Just feel the flow. Use your feminine side to just be. At this point don t think, just breath, feel and be. Feel your connection to All Life through the Christ Breath. Remember your intimate connection with God.

The Mer-Ka-Ba, The Vehicle Of Ascension

The Last Three Breaths

You are asked not to attempt this FOURTH PART until you have made contact with your Higher Self, AND your Higher Self has given you permission to proceed. This part is to be taken seriously. The energies that will come into and around your body and spirit are of tremendous power. If you are not ready, you could hurt yourself. If your Higher Self gives you permission to enter into the MER-KA-BA, then don't fear, for you will be ready.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Inhale:

HEART: Love

MIND: Be aware of the whole star tetrahedron. Realize that there are three whole star tetrahedrons superimposed over each other. One is the body itself, and is locked in place and never, except under certain conditions, moves. It is placed around the body according to maleness or femaleness. The second whole star tetrahedron is male in nature, it is electrical, is literally the human mind and rotates counter-clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your left side. The third whole star tetrahedron is female in nature, is magnetic, is literally the human emotional body and rotates clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your right side.

To be clear, we are not telling you to rotate the male tetrahedron one way and the female the other way. When we say rotate the whole star tetrahedron, we mean the whole thing.

On the inhale of the fifteenth breath, as you are inhaling, you will say to yourself, in your head, the code words, EQUAL SPEED. This will tell your mind that you want the two rotatable whole star tetrahedrons to begin spinning in opposite directions at equal speeds at the time of the exhale. Meaning that for every complete rotation of the mind tetrahedrons, there will be a complete rotation of the emotional tetrahedrons.

BODY: Continue the mudra of the folded hands from now on.

BREATH: Breath Yogic and rhythmically an deeply again, but only for the next three breaths, after that return to the shallow breathing.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. In an instant, they will be moving at exactly one third the speed of light at their outer tips. You probably will not be able to see this because of their tremendous speed, but you can feel it. What you have just done is to start the MOTOR of the MER-KA-BA. You will not go anywhere, or have an experience. It is just like starting the motor of a car, but having the transmission in neutral.

BREATH: Make a small hole with your lips just like you did for breath Number Ten. Blow out in the same manner, and as you do, feel the two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: This is the most amazing breath. On the inhale, as you are inhaling, say to yourself, in your head, THIRTY-FOUR - TWENTY-ONE. This is the code to your mind to spin the two sets of tetrahedrons at a ratio of 34-21. Meaning the Mind tetrahedrons spinning to the left will go around 34 times while the emotional tetrahedrons spinning to the right will go around 21 times. As the two sets speed up the ratio will remain constant.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and Yogic.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: As you let out the breathe, the two sets of tetrahedrons take off from their one third speed of light setting to two third speed of light in an instant. As they approach two thirds speed of light speed a phenomena takes place. A disk about 55 feet in diameter forms around the body at the level of the base of the spine. And the sphere of energy that is centered around the two sets of tetrahedrons forms with the disk to create a shape that looks like a FLYING SAUCER around the body. This energy matrix is called the MER-KA-BA. However, it is not stable. If you see or sense the MER-KA-BA around you at this point, you will know it to be unstable. It will be slowly wobbling. Therefore Breath Number Seventeen is necessary.

BREATH: Same as breath 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. It is at this point that the speeds increases. As you feel the speed increasing, let out all your breath with force. This action will cause the higher speed to be fully obtained and the MER-KA-BA to be formed.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Remember, unconditional love for all life must be felt through out all of this meditation or no

results will be realized.

MIND: As you breathe in, say to yourself, in your head, the code NINE TENTHS THE SPEED OF IGHT. This code will tell your mind to increase the speed of the MER-KA-BA to nine tenths the speed of light which will stabilize the rotating field of energy. It will also do something else. This third dimensional universe that we live in is tuned to 9/10 the speed of light. Every electron in your body is rotating around every atom in your body at 9/10 the speed of light. This is the reason this particular speed is selected.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and in a Yogic manner.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The speed increases to 9/10 the speed of light and stabilizes the MER-KA-BA.

BREATH: Same as breath 15 and 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. As you feel the speed take off, let all your breath out with force. You are now in your stable and Third dimensionally tuned MER-KA-BA. With the help of your Higher Self, you will understand what this really means.

EIGHTEENTH BREATH:

This very special breath will not be taught here. You must receive it from Your Higher Self. It is the breath that will take you through the speed of light into the fourth dimension. You will disappear from this world and reappear in another one that will be your new home for awhile. This is not the end, but the beginning of an ever expanding consciousness returning you HOME to your FATHER.
