Alchemy

Summary

Sexual Energy Accumulation Speed on various fields (experience thread)

Dr. David Frawley writes this:

Vata = Chi/Qi

Pitta = Yang

Kapha = Yin

Ojas = Jing

He writes, “Although this comparison does not hold true all the time, it does the majority of the time. In Ayurveda, there is a balanced/constructive, and an unbalanced/destructive side to Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This is not true in Chinese Energetics. For example, Ojas is a constructive byproduct of a balanced Kapha, whereas an excess of mucus, or maybe a tumor is a destructive by-product of an unbalanced Kapha, whereas Jing is a more refined type of Chi, and has no downside to it unless it is forced through a part of the body that cannot handle it”.

Bridgette Shea, one of the pioneers in the comparative study of Ayurveda and Daoist Alchemy, says this:

In my opinion, Jing is a common term used for three aspects explained in Ayurveda - Soma (the essence, associated with Kapha), Shukra (the reproductive fluid), Ojas (the most refined aspect of soma and shukra). So, Jing is more of an umbrella term for these three if we were to attempt to map the two schools. Also, it must be noted that Ayurveda (Indian Traditional Medicine) and Yoga treat aspects such as Ojas, Tejas, etc., differently (although Ayurvedic use of these terms historically precedes the adaptation by Yogic schools).

Chakras

Summary

The Discourse of Chakras

There may be some similarities between chakras, dantiens, meridians, nadis etc. But is there any practical use in trying to establish similarity or difference in these systems?

Each of these is a part of different, complete systems of energy development and these systems use them in different ways. Pick any one of these two systems and if practiced well, results come.

Again, these components really are of no practical significance in isolation, but the devil is in the detail - how exactly does a system/toolkit use these components? Certain fire-based Daoist schools may use Dantiens similar to chakras while other water-based schools may have a completely different approach to them. Tibetan Tantric systems use both Daoist and Tantra concepts with a degree of syncretism (Chandali Yoga is their version of Kundalini Yoga).

There is really no one or best way of doing things (there are bad ways of doing them though) - they all have their merits. And many times, availability/access is a key consideration these days - which system can one learn easily with as little of dilution as possible.

Diet / Food, Drink & Supplements Usage

Summary

On another topic

I tried living with “all natural” foods only, but meh, did not work well for my needs and lifestyle haha…

A couple reasons:

We basically don’t cook at home at all. We rely mostly on salads Mon-Fri (we both have pretty great and healthy cafeterias at work, thankfully) and “cheat” during weekends and eat out lol… Though I left Manhattan, I guess Manhattan did not leave me. I find grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning consume a lot of effort and time and I don’t enjoy it. Since the last decade, I’ve tried to do, to the possible extent, only things I enjoy, and this is true for myself as well as my S.O. Some mundane tasks have begun to seem too mundane to me lately, and I am constantly trying to develop more equanimity so that these tasks don’t throw me off neutrality by a wide margin.

Getting all nutrients through natural foods seems like a big lift! Precisely for the reason you stated. The amount of ingredients and calories need to get there is big! My metabolism is not one of those eat what you like and stay skinny kind, so I do need to watch my calories and workout (and regularly use Sapien workout fields).

I travel a lot for work, so I need a sustainable, healthy solution to survive in airports and hotels.

So, I’ve been a supplement junkie and that has worked well for the most part.

For protein, I also use a powder. I’ve been using this brand called Huel Black and I quite like it!! It is plant based protein, diary free and that is certainly one of the factors I like this one. Do note that it is pretty fiber rich, so some folks initially have tummy troubles.

Have you tried the new Gastrointestinal Specialist? If you have any underlying digestion issues, this is the most comprehensive field atm.

Have you also tried Super Metabolism Boost and Fascia Shakeup (this one seems to relieve any bloating related to water retention). Stomach Crunching and Toning does relieve bloating temporarily, but it is important to fix the root cause for bloating or its going to keep coming back.

Make sure to not drink cold fluids before and after meals, sip hot tea or warm water with meals, and add some black pepper, ginger and a tiny amount of ghee (refined butter) to your food - Ayurveda recommends these to awaken the digestive fire.

Some folks have also noted that the Enhanced Cellular Nutrient Absorption field has helped reduce digestive discomfort including bloating if used 30-min after a meal.

Energy (miscellaneous)

Summary

How to get results

How we respond to energy fields is similar to how we respond to exercise, supplements, etc. There is no universal way here as each person responds to energy fields uniquely - based on his/her energetic health, capability, the quality of the energetic field, and a host of other factors.

A couple of things you can do:

Maintain energetic health by not listening to creators who are not very skilled in creating energy products. Despite best intentions, if a field is not created with finesse, it causes long-term problems.

Follow commonsense protocols for a healthy body and mind - nutrition, sleep, hydration, relaxation, exercise, etc. The Body-Mind Complex, when sufficiently healthy, responds to the fields readily.

As @Freitql pointed out, use the Core 3 audios regularly: Ego Dissolution, Subconscious Limits Remover, and Energy Blockage Removal.

Stop using different audios for a few weeks other than the above 3 and the Point of No Return stack. A lot of times, less is more. Looping audios incessantly is not always productive.

Do some form of meditation or energy exercise regularly. Could be Pranayama, Qigong, or the Reiki Star Exercise which has produced results for many many folks on this forum.

Do some form of active release exercise. Could be something specific like say EFT , Yuen Method, etc., or something generic like Going into the Heart Space .

A few times a day, actively Let Go .

Lastly, always end the day with a few rounds of the Grounding audio.

Consistency and perseverance are the keys. Also, never forget that the Universe loves and deeply cares for all its creation. There are amazing beings looking out for us, so dispel thoughts of doubt, despair, and desperation and saddle up for a new day and a new future. It’s only going to get better from here on…

The way I see it, there is nothing positive or negative. Essentially, we (our energy systems) react positively or negatively to various things, and even that changes with time.

For example, are almonds negative? Yes, for people who react negatively to it due to intolerance, but not for many others.

While dealing with positive/negative energies as such is good to address the symptoms temporarily, the long-term goal should be to align with Neutrality (borrowing the term from Dr. Yuen). There is a notion that to be happy (which is the goal of everything we do right?) - (a) We need to achieve a bunch of things that are considered positive (b) Stay away from a bunch of other things that are considered negative - so says conventional wisdom. Now if we design our lives around doing “positive” things and avoiding “negative” things, the definitions of which change constantly, are we sure we will be happy and balanced?

Being aligned with Neutrality would be to rise above it all, to be not affected energetically by either things perceived as positive or negative. Even supposedly positive things/emotions can imbalance us. Energy is energy - at the core, it cannot be negative or positive, but the reaction or judgment to it is what makes it as such.

When one stays in a Neutral state, there is no need to block, shield, remove “negative” energies, or do any kind of acrobatics to attract the “positive” energies. Sometimes, entertaining a strong belief (/fear) that we need to block/shield against a certain energy/energetic pattern is what fuels that particular energy, manifesting an attack (I write this because many folks on this forum are constantly worried about entity attacks and actually manifest them). Not dwelling in a space of fear (block, shield, expel, avoid attack, remove demons) or lack (manifest, attract this or that, enhance this, increase that) fixes problems a lot faster than dwelling in such a place and then trying to fix issues.

Love energy is one way to be neutral (as long as it is not conditional and not restricted to an emotion), Mindfulness is another way. The field of neutrality is another way to look at Non-duality or Advaita where things are present, many many things, many many energies, we just exist in harmony with them all by realizing that at the core, it is the same energy that appears in myriad apparitions. The Vibration series should eventually get us into this Neutrality zone.

Discussion for other Creator Channels

Another thing that also matters is one’s current level of energetic cultivation and also its nature.

In China, a few years ago, there was a Qigong system named Falun Gong , which claimed to represent the original teachings of Buddha. This eventually got banned by the communist government of China, partly because of its cultish behavior, and partly because of the effect it had on people. Initially, people began experiencing miraculous healings, and the movement took off big time. And then came the backlash. There was cases of people having psychotic episodes, schizophrenia, terminal cancers, kidney failures, etc.

When experienced Qigong masters began to critically evaluate the energetics behind this form, they found that the system involved installing a semi-sentient structure (Falun wheel) in one’s lower Dantien which revolved in a certain pattern. For people with little to no energetic development, this seemed okay, at least initially. And for people who had cultivated to an extent, had a developed Dantien, had established orbits, active meridians etc., this Falun did not fit their energy system at all, as it was doing something drastically different and wrecked their energy system leading them down a path of no recovery. Interestingly, the founder of this cult was once a student of my Daoist teacher Wang Liping, and I am not sure what really made him go bonkers! Now he is in hiding, cashing on his persecution martyrdom.

Another such Qigong system is Xiang Gong, a form which had (has?) a cult following in China, famously known as Fragrance Chikung due to people smelling flowers when practicing this form. The Grandmaster of this form instructed people not to mix it with anything else, including simple things like mindful breathing. Some folks had excellent results with it, while others got into major troubles leading to psychotic episodes, energetic collapse, adrenal fatigue, etc. This system essentially does not cultivate Chi, but uses available Chi to heal. In beginners, there is not much Chi, so the level of drainage is also low. But in intermediate to advanced practitioners of any spiritual disciple who have a reservoir of Chi, this system forced excessive drainage of Chi for physical healing causing imbalance and illness.

This system also heavily emphasized on a set of “rules” tied to good and bad Karma and the energetics of this belief system held by its creator-teacher were deeply embedded in this energetic implant called Falun wheel that developed in those who practiced this form. Not confirming to this set of “rules” caused problems in two ways. One, the practitioners were overcome with extreme guilt. Two, the wheel’s energetics did not take kindly to transgressions. Taoism, in its pure form, cares not much for the Buddhist concept of Karma, which in turn came from the Vedic philosophers, but developed as a central theme in Buddhism. The Dao simply is about harmonizing and balancing energies and interaction between energies so that the outcomes are also balanced and beneficial (sort of like making all Karma good). The emphasis is not on morality, but on practice to a large extent. So this concept of stringent, energetically imposed set of rules (which reflect the attitude of its creator/teacher), alien to the Dao, carried forth in his energetic signature causing many a problem.

The point is - energetic systems are complex and involved. Unless one is exactly sure of what different components of different systems are doing, experimenting without caution can cause long term damage to health and well-being.

Discussion for other Creator Channels

Of course, I am not dissuading anyone from using anything or trying to convert folks to Sapienism, etc. haha. Just my opinion, which may very well be a subjective one.

When I started out, several teachers drove into me the concept of sanctity of energy or purity of energy (although I tend to resist using the p-word). We just did not mix various kinds of energy work with a kitchen sink approach, unless people reached a state where, either they intimately understood the workings of the body, the energy, and their interaction, or, were resilient enough to withstand throw what you may.

When practicing some Dzogchen techniques, I was told not to mix other forms. Same with our Maoshan thunder sect, where while doing a lightening practice as a novice, I decided to innovate, added a certain boosting technique from another Daoist sect, and almost went insane. My Sifu gave me a beating, literally!

I know we all build stacks from various creators, hoping that more audios equal faster results. However, caution is needed. Assaulting the energy body without a clear understanding of what the audio does to the energy body can have long-term ill effects. So, either be cautious or develop a keen intuition and connection to your guides/guardians, who will look out for you and guide you.

Also, research the creators - what is their technique, how were they trained to develop their skills, are they producing real results or it just feels strong (a lot of times, strong is simply the energy being non-graceful and brutalizing the energy body), etc. If the creators are not forthcoming with clear answers, be wary. Fear is not necessary, caution is!

To Vax, or Not to Vax

I frankly don’t sense anything drastically malicious with the vaccine (also we have the Plasma Protocol. OM suggested running Plasma Protocol and Blueprint for the next few days, which I am doing).

Ultimately this is what I think. There are many things around us, nothing is really good or bad. How we react is what makes things good or bad. If a field of influence throws us off neutrality (as Brenda from Twisted Sage tells us), it can be bad. But we always have the choice to remain balanced aka in the field of neutrality (Luminous Void) - firmly connected to the Higher Self, and then we are not going to be thrown off balance by anything (a lot of times, it is things we perceive as good are the ones which throw us off our core/neutrality causing emotional/physical problems). At the end of the day, aliens, deities, dimensions, matter, energy, external objects - are all aspects of this one Void, and being consciously aligned to it is the long-term answer to all our problems. As they say, the creation is but a dream, when you wake up, there goes the dream (no pun intended haha)

Higher Beings

Summary

On another topic

Ganesha too has various forms.

Ganapati - the Lord of ‘Ganas’ which means attendants. These attendants are:

(a) In the Macrocosm - the elements, elemental beings, demi-semi-gods of various categories, etc. Ganesha gives mastery over these beings as well, if his energy is accessed. A lot of times, these beings also cause mischief, and he prevents such occurrences.
(b) In the Microcosm - these represent the senses (eyes, ears, nose, skin, taste) and he has complete mastery over them so that one can turn inward. Without these obstacles, one can jump deep into meditation and contemplation.

This form of Ganesha propitiated at the very beginning of every activity, is generally a four-handed depiction:

Mahaganapati (Great Ganapati or Ganesha) is a higher-form in which he is present with a consort - named Siddhilakshmi. This is the form we invoke in the Tantra practice because Yin-Yang always go hand in hand. We call that Yab-yum in Tibetan, with the male representing Compassion and the Female, Insight/Wisdom. In Hindu parlance, the female is Power (shakti) and the male is the holder of this Power (Shaktimaan) - neither is complete without the other.

Siddhilakshmi is the personification of perfection, or goals already accomplished, as also the bestower of property and fulfillment. His ten hands signify ten forms of blessings while his consort represents the fulfillment of what one seeks.

The Yagna covers both these aspects of the deity.

Approach of Deities

On another topic

Generally a sense of respect, love, or good vibes towards the deities always helps develop a better connection. Most times, the state of space, body and mind are stressed in traditional deity work as all three affect the energy system and may hinder an energetic link with the deity, if chaotic. So, these observances initially will help, but are not absolutely necessary as Dream creates these fields to make the energies accessible to all, with not much effort on our parts.

The higher your vibration - whatever be the way for one to get there (purity of body and mind, meditative state, space clearing, food habits, etc.) - better the connection.

This is true for most but then there are also Aghoris and some such sects who follow no rules, of space or bodily purity or otherwise, and yet have tremendous inner purity due to their extreme disattachment to everything, and the ability to see divinity in the sacred and the profane.

So, I would not worry too much or get too held up on applying the actual rules needed during the Yagna, to listen to these fields.

Vaastu Homam

There is always immense value in mindfully, “with awareness” connecting to these high-vibration deities/intelligent forces.

That said, it does not need to come from a place of fear or compulsion.

These are primordial beings, they are real, but also unreal as they are archetypical projections of one’s one Higher Self, or say the Universal Mind. So, they are as unreal as they are real.

Historically, Asian cultures have used emotional energy to connect to them - could be devotion, love, respect, etc. This emotional relating to the deities helps solidify the connection one has to them. However, all Hindu ritualism stems back to Vedic Mimamsa school, where rituals - if done perfectly - would grant the results irrespective of emotions, etc. While an emotional connection enhances the rituals, technically it is unneeded.

So, while you can benefit big time by mindfully listening to these audios, acknowledging the deities, etc., there is also tremendous value in listening to them passively as well - Dream always considers various circumstances that people use his audios in, and has checks and balances. So, nothing to fear here…think of these deities are expressions of your higher self, perfected aspects of your higher self - and then the fear ceases.

I have indeed noticed a few things with deities, however.

For example, the energies of these deities flow through very well when the environment is clean, the energy of the place is free of clutter, bad smells, etc. Probably the reason most rituals in the east and west start with clearing and cleansing procedures.

Some feminine energies like say Durga are protective in nature. They do not reside in places where there is an abuse of women, children, etc. As these are guardian deities, they respond to appeals for help and the abusers are dealt with force, at times.

The energies build over time. The presence of an elevated deity builds over a period of time, so consistency helps.

[quote also reported under the Goddess subsection, a few lines below]

There are a lot of misconceptions about Deities as approached by the Eastern Mystic Schools. Very often, people erroneously approach Deities and misconception seems to stem from two ideas - one, the faith-based, rigid Abrahamic view of one paternal deity and rest rejected as idolatry or pagans or even worse, as satanic forces (whatever that means lol). The other, is to map them to various perceived alien races (Annunaki seems to be the favorite - you don’t understand something? Call it Annunaki!). The reason I mention this is to stress on the importance of concept or view. Every concept has some degree of truth relative to oneself, but we need to pick and choose concepts carefully.

Take the example of a stone. It is just a stone. And then comes a Hindu or Buddhist Tantric who holds a specific concept of a deity in his mind while in a deeply absorptive state, channels this concept and the energetic archetype underlying the concept through mantra, yantra, etc., into the stone and behold, the stone is now a living representation of the deity capable of various functions. In Buddhism, it is frequently explained that the same mantra can give vastly different results based on the concept or the view held of the mantra and the deity by the reciter of the mantra.

Here is a simple and watered down summary of how a deity like Chandi may be approached. In Vedic systems, the key concept is this - “upāsakānāṁ kāryārthaṁ brahmaṇō rūpakalpanā” - The Brahman (Universal Divine Consciousness) is without a name, form, state, etc., and is pretty much imperceivable for most. To access the energy of this magnificent vastness, one has to conceptualize it in terms of aspects we understand - a name and a form. This makes the ever-present and indescribable Divine Consciousness accessible even in the plane of duality. This is sort of like utilizing the electricity within various applications as electricity as a concept or energy is directly not usable in practical day to day life.

Now, Deities have two aspects. In the macrocosm, they are very real, Primordial forces, emanations from the Cosmic Divine Mind. Each deity has a specific aspect or energetic application. In the microcosm, they are non-different from the Self - as the deity is nothing but the awakened aspect of one’s own radiant Self. Take Chandi for example. This deity is conceptualized as “rightful wrath of the Divine Consciousness” - while love or wrath mean nothing at the level of absolute non-duality, they represent the Divine wrath against various things on a dualistic plane - wrath against ignorance, duality, demonic entities, lack of abundance, death, diseases, etc. Traditionally one connects to a deity through various methods:

Nāma - the name is a very strong energetic connection to the deity. An ancient Taoist saying goes, “name is the strongest spell in the world”.

Rūpa - the form. While visualizing the form of the deity, the color, the aura, the weapons and ornaments, etc., one contemplates on the concepts represented by the external form of the deity

Mantra - the sound form of the deity

Yantra - the mandala which is the light form of the deity

Tattva - the metaphysical concept that underlies the deity, which is usually the secret meaning of the mantra that is imparted by the teacher along with the mantra

On another topic

didn’t feel any connection with the Goddess but the way my body reacts, she is doing powerful work. I’m sure I’ll be making a connection with her with more listens.

There is a famous saying related to the Goddess - ābālagōpaviditā - known by children and fools alike! How can even children and fools know the Goddess who is described as the fully awakened form of Kundalini, and the full-blooming of consciousness? Because even the ignorant know Her as the self (whether they associate the self with the body, mind, or body-mind complex) - so even when we think we do not know Her, we indeed know her - as self, as energy, as breath, as desire, as aspiration, as lust, as anger and rarely, as Universal Impersonal Consciousness. So, you are already good

Traditionally, one had to develop connection to the deity (aka unfold the energetic consciousness) through sheer hard work (or through Shaktipat transmission where the connection of the entire lineage is passed on as an attunement). But this audio vastly simplifies it. Even if one does not connect deeply to the deity, the energy is still there and doing its work.

The Deities are divinely intelligent and aspects of your Higher Self. You can request for specific things - like continued protection in your case, while playing the audio. I think you are already doing things right (Booted Bhoots, Shatachandi, Aura Repair, Core Restoration, Smart Cord Cutter). Additionally, you may want to add once a week of Deep Aura Cleaning.

Facets of The Goddess through Chandi and Others

On another topic

The [Shatachandi Yagna] field makes energies of the Shatachandi ritual - available to us.

It is not the same as directly invoking the Goddess. The field is a safer way to approach such a potent ritual - avail the benefits without the associated risks.

Think of Angelic Intercession. Is it same as invoking an angelic being to appear before you through a complex ritual like the Abremalin Operation which only the most advanced of practitioners should attempt? Not really. It is a gentle way to seek help form Angelic beings - you may feel their presence, and most experience their grace.

Chandi is Kundalini personified in a blazing state piercing through the heart knot. This is why caution is required when invoking forms like Kali, Chandi etc., to ensure sufficient prep has been done. Hence we say - Tantra is like a jet. It flies very fast, but without the needed skills, an accident can be fatal.

On another topic

The Deity/Archetype tool is available for both Bhoga (pleasure, material wealth, etc.) or Moksha (enlightenment). It is the attitude of the user which determines our path

Vedanta or other similar paths ask us to pick one or the other - in Tantra, we don’t exclude either.

It is said:

yatrāsti bhōgō nahi tatra mōkṣaḥ
yatrāsti mōkṣō nahi tatra bhōgaḥ |
śrīsundarīsādhanatatparāṇāṁ
bhōgaśca mōkṣaśca karastha ēva ||

“Where there is material pleasure, there is no spiritual enlightenment. And where the focus is on spiritual enlightenment, there is no room for sensory pleasures. But for those that adore Sundari (here refers to Tripurasundarī, the highest archetype of the Goddess in Tantras), both material comfort and spiritual enlightenment are achieved naturally and easily”.

The reason for that is the perspective of Tantra which does not believe in good vs bad, negative vs positive, profane vs sacred, etc. Everything is an extension of the Goddess and everything can be used as a tool for spiritual upliftment, including emotions, and sensory pleasures.

Let us take the example of the Shatachandi field. We can intend to align the energies any which way we want, be it for curing diseases, achieving wealth, protection from humans and/or entities, etc., or for enlightenment, purification, discernment, etc. I personally prefer the path of “Nishkama Karma” at this stage - where I just invoke the Goddess and leave it to her all-knowing Self (aka my own Self) to do what is best for me at this moment in time

This is reflected in the actual fire ritual of Chandi itself (which the field simulates/automates) - every ritual is preceded by a step called Sankalpa - where the performer explicitly states the objective of the ritual. Some examples are:

sarvarōganivr̥ttyarthē (for the purpose of removing all diseases)

apamr̥tyunivāraṇārthē (to prevent untimely death)

sarvaiśvaryasiddhyarthē (to achieve all forms of wealth)

grahabādhānivāraṇārthē (to remove affliction caused by entities including ghosts, demons, imps, stars and planets, etc.)

sarvābhicāraśamanārthē (to remove the ill effects of spells, black magic, etc.)

For spiritual purposes, we typically use:

dēvyabhēdasiddhyarthē (to become one with the Goddess to realize our own Self as Her effulgent, enlightened presence)

advayāvasthābhivr̥ddhyarthē (to achieve the state of non-duality)

sarvapāpakṣayārthē (to burn away sins and karma that hold us back)

brahmabhāvasiddhyarthē (to achieve the state where one sees the Goddess as the self, and as the self of every aspect of creation), etc.

So, state your intention, and then listen and wait for the magic to happen

A Chandi Homa performed with authenticity for those curious on how exactly it is done.

The period this was done is called Varahi Navaratri (nine nights dedicated to the goddess named Varahi, who represents the physical energy of the Goddess and is invoked to protect oneself from dangers) - and hence her seed mantra is used to sandwich every verse of Saptashati 700 verses (called samputa or sandwiching technique) - which generates a very unique and powerful effect that is a combination of two deities - Chandi and Varahi.

The fire ritual is empowered by these aspects - breath control, mantra, intention, an existing connection to the deity by the main conductor of the ritual, presence of mandalas/yantras to focus the energy and finally, fire consecrated through mandalas and mantras which amplifies the energy and brings through the presence of the deity invoked. The ritual is generally preceded by a million recitations of the mantra, and followed by feeding the poor, charity, etc.

Sri Chandi Homam - Ashadha Navaratri, Laksha Chandi Maha Yagnam

On another topic

Chandi is the warrior form of Durga, known for destroying demonic forces - external ones that we face in astral dimensions, and the internal ones - excesses, unbalance, dis-ease, lack, impoverishment, etc.

The ritual of Shata Chandi (shata means 100 times Chandi) is one of the most potent rituals performed in India to ward off dangers, pandemics, etc. While it does grant individual benefits for sure, it has been used mostly for collective benefit of humanity, for everyone’s well-being - so this is a crucial aspect of this ritual. In the current cycle (called Kaliyuga), of the various forms of Durga, Chandi is supposed to be the most powerful in granting requests.

The ritual is complex - requires recitation of the mantra of Chandi thousands of time, several priests simultaneously reciting the 700-verse scripture Saptashati, and offering various offerings into the fire, in which Chandi is invoked as the radiance of the fire. This is not only a complex procedure requiring skill, but also an expensive one.

Thanks to Dream for making these beneficial energies available to everyone, especially during these trying times in many countries across the world.

The effects of Chandi are manifold:

na tēṣāṁ duṣkr̥taṁ kiñcidduṣkr̥tōtthā na cāpadaḥ |
bhaviṣyati na dāridryaṁ na caivēṣṭaviyōjanam ||

One is freed from evils and dangers of all kinds; poverty or the energy of lack is destroyed forever and re-united with loved ones.

upasargānaśēṣāṁstu mahāmārīsamudbhavān |
tathā trividhamutpātaṁ māhātmyaṁ śamayēnmama ||

One is freed from epidemics and infectious diseases as well as sufferings arising out of three causes - material/physical, supernatural/unseen, and spiritual.

yatraitatpaṭhyatē samyaṅnityamāyatanē mama |
sadā na tadvimōkṣyāmi sānnidhyaṁ tatra mē sthitam ||

Wherever this procedure is continuously done, the protective energies and presence of the Goddess become present there.

parākramaṁ ca yuddhēṣu jāyatē nirbhayaḥ pumān |
ripavaḥ saṅkṣayaṁ yānti kalyāṇaṁ cōpapadyatē |
nandatē ca kulaṁ puṁsāṁ māhātmyaṁ mama śr̥ṇvatām |

One is blessed with valor, fearlessness and strength, and victory in battles (this is the reason kings of yore performed this ritual). The enemies are vanquished and overall well-being is achieved. One’s family prospers for generations by the long-extending energy of this process.

grahapīḍāsu cōgrāsu māhātmyaṁ śr̥ṇuyānmama |
rakṣōbhūtapiśācānāṁ paṭhanādēva nāśanam ||

One is freed from afflictions of Grahas - which is of two types. The Planetary influences which are non-beneficial, are corrected to produce beneficial impact. Grahas also mean spirits and demonic entities of various kinds - this energy destroys such maleficent entities. Wherever there is the presence of the Goddess, lower vibratory presence cannot exist (ghosts, waywards, demons, astral vampires, etc.) just like the sunlight clears darkness.

sarvābādhāsu ghōrāsu vēdanābhyarditō’pi vā |
smaran mamaitaccaritaṁ narō mucyēta saṅkaṭāt ||

When anyone in insufferable grief, suffering, disease, or danger invokes these energies of the Goddess, they are blessed with relief.

itthaṁ yadā yadā bādhā dānavōtthā bhaviṣyati |
tadā tadāvatīryāhaṁ kariṣyāmyarisaṅkṣayam ||

This was a promise by the Goddess to one of her seers recorded and recited from centuries - 'Whenever, wherever evil (this word simply means non-beneficial) arises, there is suffering on that account, when invoked, I will appear there in myriad forms and destroy the cause for suffering".

Some forms of the Goddess are motherly, protective and interestingly, these are the popular forms, as these energies were deemed manageable for most folks (perhaps). Durga certainly falls into that category. This audio, in my opinion, mirrors the energy of Durga more and a tad less of her more warrior-like form called Chandi or Chandika, and intentionally so.

The Goddess represents the aspects of the Divine like creation, nurturing, protection, beauty, tenderness, etc., and hence She gets called the Mother (as she births, re-births - creation, consciousness) - but in reality, that Divine Consciousness is without a gender/polarity. In dualistic sense of the universe, she has names, forms, attributes, qualities; in a higher non-dualistic sense, she is just one unbridled, vast, unified consciousness that is without name, forms.

And different forms have different energies to them. Kali is also fiercely protective, but a whole different vibe than Durga. Lakshmi is very sparkly, bright and effervescent. My favorite is Lalita, the playful one - who embodies the erotic energies, the creative beauty of the nature, the epitome of sexual alchemy.

On another topic

Chandi is a very fierce deity. Unless one has studied her mantra from a competent teacher, I would NOT recommend jumping into such mantras directly, especially without the proper backing of lineage energies to protect if something goes wrong. Deities like Kali, Chandi, etc. are not really for all. There is a lot of preparation that is needed before invoking archetypes such as these as they can wreak havoc on the energy system if not sufficiently prepared.

The Chandi Yagna involves a very elaborate protocol. Several thousand recitations of the mantra of Chandi, followed by pre-procedures such as an armour of protection, a ritual for “unlocking” the power of Chandi (it is locked unless transmitted through a person who has the key), etc. The actual ritual involves recitation of 700 verses. To recite the full Chandi (we call it Saptashati - the “seven hundred verses”), it takes me 3.5 hours - I do it only twice a month due to the effort/time involved. So, unless one is proficient, this could take a year or two for most to master (assuming familiarity with Sanskrit)

How to listen to the audio? I wrote on that topic here .

This is a complex and very elaborate ritual. This is another reason why extra thanks are to be extended to Dream for making the energies from such a complex ritual available to us.

As to the frequency, every now and then should be good enough (though I do listen to it everyday). The ritual itself is performed say a few times a year by ritualists. This field however, is the basic ritual X 100 times - and Shata-chandi (100 times Chandi) is generally annually performed in large temples, etc. So, I would say, every now then, may be once a month/quarter should be good enough. Ultimately, it depends on how well you are responding to the field, or its energy (the same criterion as other fields).

Fierce in terms of their energy signature and function.

Their energetic effect, in myths, are explained as anger, etc., but essentially, it is their energetic signature. They work in different ways.

For example, Kali is the manifestation of utmost speed of Kundalini awakened. She will ascend quickly, through the chakras, piercing knots, not giving any time for one to adjust, assimilate, etc. Results are quick, but it may completely blow up the unprepared.

One teacher explained it this way. "Take Kali and Lalita, they are both aspects of the Mother Goddess. They both are expressions of our inner Kundalini, but personified in different aspects. Kali is very compassionate, so compassionate that she cannot wait another minute to see her child dwelling in duality. She will hold you, pull you through all obstacles like a lightening jolt all the way to the crown chakra and beyond. Now, she may pull you through a keyhole, which is easy for her to pass through, but not you (‘you’ here is the gross mind-body complex), you end up experiencing tremendous pain, perceived misery, etc.

Now Lalita on the other hand is gentle, like an indulgent mother slowly guiding you through the doors, matching your pace, allowing you to enjoy the sights on the way, and so on. Both are paths to progression, some prefer the first, some others can handle the second".

This is what inner Deity Yoga is all about. The Kundalini, the energetic channels and currents are personalized with archetypal qualities and regulated using pre-defined, pre-tested templates so that the path is easier, less prone to obstacles and suffering. However, like with all religions, “inner” aspects get lost over a period of time.

Entity/Deity Thread

The word Kālī has two connotations.

One myth states that the celestial gods and sages and humans approached the Goddess once, who was Gaurī (literally means the one of fair complexion) and prayed to her that the cosmos was being overtaken by demonic entities who were destroying everything Good. Listening to their plight, she turned to a dark hue with anger and came to be known as Kālī. The word Kāla varna means pitch black color, and her assuming this form is to indicate her power as all consuming (black hole) - while her aspect as Gaurī, the creator and nourisher, is a different side of the same coin.

Kāla means time, as also death. As her grace helps transcend not only time (and space) but also a limited existence (life spent as a struggle to survive with a fear of death), she comes to be called Kālī.

Just like the color black absorbs everything else in the spectrum, She is what emerges when all duality, forms and names are absorbed into Nothingness.

Her energy is very intense, so some caution is needed when approaching her. Her state is to ascend fast and quick, cutting through obstacles and it is not always a pleasant experience.

There are a lot of misconceptions about Deities as approached by the Eastern Mystic Schools. Very often, people erroneously approach Deities and misconception seems to stem from two ideas - one, the faith-based, rigid Abrahamic view of one paternal deity and rest rejected as idolatry or pagans or even worse, as satanic forces (whatever that means lol). The other, is to map them to various perceived alien races (Annunaki seems to be the favorite - you don’t understand something? Call it Annunaki!). The reason I mention this is to stress on the importance of concept or view. Every concept has some degree of truth relative to oneself, but we need to pick and choose concepts carefully.

Take the example of a stone. It is just a stone. And then comes a Hindu or Buddhist Tantric who holds a specific concept of a deity in his mind while in a deeply absorptive state, channels this concept and the energetic archetype underlying the concept through mantra, yantra, etc., into the stone and behold, the stone is now a living representation of the deity capable of various functions. In Buddhism, it is frequently explained that the same mantra can give vastly different results based on the concept or the view held of the mantra and the deity by the reciter of the mantra.

Here is a simple and watered down summary of how a deity like Chandi may be approached. In Vedic systems, the key concept is this - “upāsakānāṁ kāryārthaṁ brahmaṇō rūpakalpanā” - The Brahman (Universal Divine Consciousness) is without a name, form, state, etc., and is pretty much imperceivable for most. To access the energy of this magnificent vastness, one has to conceptualize it in terms of aspects we understand - a name and a form. This makes the ever-present and indescribable Divine Consciousness accessible even in the plane of duality. This is sort of like utilizing the electricity within various applications as electricity as a concept or energy is directly not usable in practical day to day life.

Now, Deities have two aspects. In the macrocosm, they are very real, Primordial forces, emanations from the Cosmic Divine Mind. Each deity has a specific aspect or energetic application. In the microcosm, they are non-different from the Self - as the deity is nothing but the awakened aspect of one’s own radiant Self. Take Chandi for example. This deity is conceptualized as “rightful wrath of the Divine Consciousness” - while love or wrath mean nothing at the level of absolute non-duality, they represent the Divine wrath against various things on a dualistic plane - wrath against ignorance, duality, demonic entities, lack of abundance, death, diseases, etc. Traditionally one connects to a deity through various methods:

Nāma - the name is a very strong energetic connection to the deity. An ancient Taoist saying goes, “name is the strongest spell in the world”.

Rūpa - the form. While visualizing the form of the deity, the color, the aura, the weapons and ornaments, etc., one contemplates on the concepts represented by the external form of the deity

Mantra - the sound form of the deity

Yantra - the mandala which is the light form of the deity

Tattva - the metaphysical concept that underlies the deity, which is usually the secret meaning of the mantra that is imparted by the teacher along with the mantra

On another topic

didn’t feel any connection with the Goddess but the way my body reacts, she is doing powerful work. I’m sure I’ll be making a connection with her with more listens.

There is a famous saying related to the Goddess - ābālagōpaviditā - known by children and fools alike! How can even children and fools know the Goddess who is described as the fully awakened form of Kundalini, and the full-blooming of consciousness? Because even the ignorant know Her as the self (whether they associate the self with the body, mind, or body-mind complex) - so even when we think we do not know Her, we indeed know her - as self, as energy, as breath, as desire, as aspiration, as lust, as anger and rarely, as Universal Impersonal Consciousness. So, you are already good

Traditionally, one had to develop connection to the deity (aka unfold the energetic consciousness) through sheer hard work (or through Shaktipat transmission where the connection of the entire lineage is passed on as an attunement). But this audio vastly simplifies it. Even if one does not connect deeply to the deity, the energy is still there and doing its work.

The Deities are divinely intelligent and aspects of your Higher Self. You can request for specific things - like continued protection in your case, while playing the audio. I think you are already doing things right (Booted Bhoots, Shatachandi, Aura Repair, Core Restoration, Smart Cord Cutter). Additionally, you may want to add once a week of Deep Aura Cleaning.

Also Related: The 8 Forms of Lakshmi

What AUDIOS can give me the SAME RESULT as “Essence of Beauty tag”?

Lakshmi signifies beauty. There are two forms of the Goddess - ethereal or transcendental beauty represented by Lalita, and material/worldly beauty by Lakshmi. In India, it is a common practice to refer to beautiful women as “Lakshmi” (e.g., the bride was so beautiful, she looked like Lakshmi).

A longer list of 28 (or 36 or 108) forms of Lakshmi lists a form named Saundarya-Lakshmi , the Goddess of Beauty and Charisma.

Also, Lakshmi is the creator of Cupid (Kamadeva in Hindu lore), the deity of male beauty. It is said that only Lakshmi could create a being beautiful enough to bewitch everyone else. Beauty, sex, love, procreation - all those themes thrive well for those who Lakshmi smiles upon.

So, Lakshmi is associated with Beauty and Charisma in many ways.

Vaikuntha Loka, Other Lokas, and Dreamweaver

On another topic

Vaikuntha essentially means a realm without Kuntha (stress, worry, anxiety, fear). It is one of the several abodes of Vishnu said to be accessible to those that ascend to a very high level of vibration and are aligned with the energies of Vishnu.

As Dream pointed out, it is very very very difficult for most humans to get there. During an astral journey, when I once tried to venture there, I had to encounter Sudarshana, a massive discus of light that would not let me pass. Sudarshana, often depicted as a weapon, is the dynamic aspect of Vishnu’s energy that burns away all negativity with its fiery blaze. This mechanism is a guard to this realm (every realm has its own mechanisms).

So, without the will of Vishnu and Sudarshana, it is impossible to ever glimpse this realm, forget encoding it. This speaks a lot about Dream’s capabilities as well.

The energy is a “taste” of the realm, like watching its picture, experiencing a waft of fragrance etc. Due to the very powerful and sanctifying nature of this realm, a taste of its energy is more than enough to offer many benefits:

Protection from harm (Vishnu’s main function is sustenance of creation, and hence protection)

Peace like one has never experienced before

Bliss and Joy

Longevity (Vaikuntha is visualized as floating on an ocean of nectar, so the beings here do not age or die)

Prosperity (Vaikuntha is also the realm of Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of riches, wealth and prosperity)

I was able to experience energy of this in several ways - images (of milky ocean, blue/violet flashes), fragrance (jasmine and sandalwood), taste (charged water tasted different and sweet).

On another topic

I would not rate one as better or higher, etc. There are different realms, and aspirants aligned with those energies, when qualified, reside there. There is Rudraloka of Rudra, Kailasa of Sadashiva, Mahakaliasa of Mahasadashiva, Goloka of Krishna, Saketa-dhama of Narayana or Vishnu, Manidvipa of the Goddess, Durgaloka of Siddhas who are adept at Durga related practices, etc. There are such myriad worlds. In the West (today), there is no concept of polytheism, so everything is always mapped to one model where the aspirant ascends a universal model to get the One god. This is not true with Eastern metaphysics at all. We need to stop interpreting the Eastern mysticism through the simplisitic and linear lens of monotheistic framework.

Even before the Theosophists and New Agers driven by theosophical concepts came up with mappings aligend with mumbo-jumbo that made sense to linear Western-conditioned minds, sectarians in India had already attempted to do that - Shaiva Puranas define a hierarchy of realms, of course placing Shiva’s realms above other realms, and Vaishnavas did the same, battling with each other.

So I would not waste time with unnecessary mappings and comparisons of what is higher than what else as such thinking is precisely what will ensure that one never experiences any of these realms. We just need to appreciate that we have an opportunity to experience and benefit from these energies, be full of gratitude to these divine and compassionate entities as well Dream for making it available. All of these realms are ultimate ones depending on the person, or none of them if the goal is the formless, nameless pure Nothingness which the Veda describes as na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ - Neither does the sun shine there, nor the moon with all the stars, nor does this lightning shine.

There was a realized saint in India in the early part of this century who once witnessed a long debate of whether Shiva’s loka is higher than Vishnu’s or vice versa. He remarked - “you guys are not even traveling faster than a bullock cart on your spiritual journey, and you are debating which realm is higher than the other, as though you are anywhere closer to getting there… And moreover, wasted the last few hours debating that, while you could’ve gotten somewhere, at least in the material world. Reach one of them first, and if you do, then you can decide whether you are satisfied or want to go higher”…

So the debate is an old one and will continue

Kubera's Blessing Revisited

Kubera, a Yaksha (a category of demigods) is very popular in India and other Asian countries.

He is the guardian of one of the eight cardinal directions - North. He is invoked for protection in the north before all rituals.

He is associated with Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, and is said to be one of her attendants, who holds the power to bring wealth and fortune.

His forte is “unexplained, sudden” wealth and luck - like lotteries, inheritance, finding treasure, etc. In fact, he is specifically invoked for the purpose of finding hidden treasures.

He is also a confidant and devotee of Shiva and is said to bless devotees of Shiva with wealth.

The myths talk of Kubera possessing Pushpaka Vimana, a flying vehicle that expands and contracts to fit as many people as need be, and also, when in this vehicle, there is no death or decay (hmmmm!)

In the school of Goddess-centric Tantra, Kubera is one of the 12 main teachers and taught his own school of Goddess-centric Tantra, which is lost today (though the mantra as revealed by the Goddess to Kubera is preserved, the lineage is lost).

Kubera was certainly a Vedic deity, who was also adopted by the Buddhists as Jambhala, a Bodhisattva who grants wealth and prosperity.

Becoming a Higher (Human) Being

Devic Intercession - Devic Kingdom - Devas, Fairies, Elves, and Unicorns

No offense to anyone - but the number of folks who want to grow their bananas, use audios to get alien/tulpa girlfriends or attract celestial nymphs from the court of Indra etc. is surprising! Either we have a generational issue where people are lonely due to social issues, or perverse due to addictions and unhealthy living or is there a bigger issue here that we are all missing? As Jon Peniel described it somewhere, “Ejaculatory Consciousness” needs to be remedied and quickly…

I hop on to this forum a few times in a day and these themes are so dominant on various threads - people trying to get laid - even if it is with mythical or invisible beings. I think Dream needs to do more group meditation sessions to increase collective awareness. I am not trying to be dismissive, may be it has nothing to do with this generation, may be this has always been the case… may be… I assume, with more people using Dream’s audios, perhaps we will begin to think beyond mere survival and evolve a little further.

Higher (Human) Being in The Pure Land

On another topic

[Light and Vibrational Guidance] does act as one’s inner Guru. A physical Guru is nothing but an emanation of one’s awakened Mind-Self. One of my Teachers from an astral dimension once told me that he was the Awakened aspect of me from another dimension.

Will it work towards your goal? It does if your goals are in your highest good. The dichotomy of “I want A” but “B is better for me” is an ongoing battle of duality, but when one is at a higher vibrational state, just as this audio attempts to get us into, there is no such divergence. Initially, the conscious mind seems to take a backseat and let the higher guidance lead the way - this is the stage where non-duality feels like an experience. Eventually, even the dichotomy of the conscious mind and this aspect of higher guidance are no longer separate and it is just one vast expanded consciousness for all practical purposes. This is the stage where non-duality is not an experience or a state, but just one’s effortless nature.

Guru has been so-called because he does not light a lamp to shine light over darkness but burns the darkness down. Now, after something burns down, what is left? In this case neither the darkness nor the light, but just the great aspect-less Great Luminescent Void (nothing to do with the Void of Nihilism).

If one is regularly and consciously using this field along with the Light of Savitur, rapid spiritual progress is possible.

Also, several enlightened beings in Pure Land dimensions (not all as I was told by one of them recently) are Bodhisattvas, who have taken the vow not to drop their individual existence until humanity ascends. These teachers are very eager to guide those that want to learn - and this audio is an invaluable portal to access that guidance. Pure Land seems to be a bunch of different dimensions - some here are future aspects of humanity, some others are from other dimensions, some are deities who have never been on earth - so it is an eclectic mix of compassionate beings who are willing to teach us, learn from us and expand our consciousness.

The Pure Land dimension also gets called Sukhavati, the land of Bliss not without reason. Bliss in these dimensions arise from cessation and the resulting peace and compassion, and this audio carries forth that bliss if you meditate to it.

Tungnath Temple

On another topic

Altitude and air are not really the reasons I got this NFT, though that is an added benefit.

This temple is extremely ancient and abundant with very palpable energies of Shiva and the Goddess. So, the portal is sort of way to connect to the energy of Shiva. This is one of the shrines ancient Hindus visited to do practices to liberate themselves from the matrix named Samsara…

The Mahabharata, Indian epic, talks of the war between the princes of Kuru dynasty. Pandavas defeated their enemies after a long bloody war but the war weighed down on them. The spirits, the sin of killing haunted them and they realized they would not attain liberation unless they absolved themselves of the guilt, anger, grief, etc.

So they resorted to Shiva, who represents the Highest Consciousness that is simply bliss personified, and attained their goal after a penance in this place. The temple was lost in time. Around eighth century, Shankaracharya, the famed Advaitin (non-dualist) and a mystic, re-discovered the lost shrine and brought it back to the glory.

Tunganath is also an ancient seat of Tantra practice where Shiva assumes the form of Aghora (the non-terrifying one), considered one of the most potent manifestations of the Shiva energy that is especially powerful in aiding non-dual consciousness.

Tunganath represents one of five groups of Shiva shrines known as Pancha Kedara - each representing an element. So, in a way, portal to one of these, is a portal to the other four connected shrines as well. In each of the five shrines, one of the five Shiva’s mantras is practiced to purify and refine the element according to a Yogi I met in Benaras in 2004. It is said that due to extreme cold, and altitude, the mind remains stable in meditation and the tendency to lose essence (called Bindu-skhalana or ejaculation of primordial essence) is very less - making this a suitable place for liberative practices and to perfect alchemy.
