Descripción: El ayuno es la terapia natural por excelencia. No hay enfermedad que se le resista. Cuando dejamos de comer, se pone en marcha en nuestro organismo un inteligente y complejo sistema que nos permite recuperar la energía necesaria a partir de las grasas acumuladas. Mediante el ayuno:
Se produce una renovación celular que limpia nuestros tejidos: la boca del estómago, el hígado, los riñones, los intestinos y todo el organismo.
Adelgazamos y afinamos nuestros sentidos.
En el presente libro, un verdadero clásico en su género, Alexi Suvorin nos relata sus extraordinarias experiencias con el ayuno y nos enseña a hacerlo racional y correctamente, sin peligros.
ese libro La curación por el ayuno de Alexi Suvorin cambió mi vida. Cuando lo leí se vinieron abajo muchas ideas preconcebidas de que el ser humano se muere si no consume alimentos. En el libro Suvorin detalla el proceso de la eliminación de toxinas,y dice que los primeros 6 días son los más difíciles en sus síntomas,y que generalmente el proceso dura 40 días(me viene a la cabeza lo del arca de noé que fueron 40 días y 40 noches,y las peores tormentas fueron los 6 primeros días.) En la época que leí ese libro también leí otros tantos como. Rejuvenecer por el ayuno(Hellmut Lützner) La salud por el ayuno(Alain Saury) Yo me encontraba muy mal,y me armé de valor para hacer cortos ayunos con el propósito de hacer uno prolongado. Hice ayunos de 3,4 y hasta 5 días. Ayuno prolongado no lo he hecho porque había algo en mí que me bloqueaba. Pero te puedo decir que la combinación de esos paquetes de ayuno con la relajación me sacaron de la enfermedad a la curación.
No sé como estará ahora,pero en Alemania antes un paciente podía a través del seguro hacer ayunos prolongados bajo la supervisión médica. Aquí en España ésto todavía es impensable.
Como anécdota contaré que cuando tenía 5 años yo comía muy poco,y mis padres pensándose que me iba a morir me obligaban a comer. Ellos lo hacían con la mejor voluntad,pero a partir de ahí vinieron todos mis problemas. Asma,depresión,etc. Me pasé toda mi adolescencia con problemas de salud,incluso pensé en el suicidio,yo no sabía porqué estaba tan mal.
Hasta que me dió por leer,y uno de mis primeros libros que leí fué el de Alexis Suvorin. Las primeras semanas que hacía cortos ayunos desaparecieron todas las dolencias que arrastraba de la infancia,poco a poco me encontraba mejor. Por eso creo que el ayuno es uno de los mejores procesos que tenemos para la curación. Pero es un proceso un poco duro de ahí mi alegría cuando descubrí la técnica de HRM,porque no sólo hace que el proceso sea más suave,sino que además se pueda vivir sin comer.

Yo solía ayunar una vez al mes, por 24 horas cada vez. En 1984 realicé por primera vez un ayuno de 21 días sin siquiera beber agua. Algo maravillo pasó: se curaron mis úlceras estomacales, desapareció una lesión muy seria de la columna y se acabaron mis migrañas que eran matadoras. A los pocos días tuve la bendición de recibir de un desconocido una copia del libro "La curación por el Ayuno" de Alexi Suvorin, lo leí unas cuatro o cinco veces, lo copié a mano (no había fotocopiadoras donde yo estaba) y decidí probar un ayuno de 42 días. Lo hice a principios de 1995, con éxito. Desde entonces ayuno todos los años por 42 días seguidos, a veces un poco más. Ahora mismo estoy ayunando tres días seguidos (lunes, martes y miércoles) cada semana por 14 semanas. En Agosto iniciaré mi ayuno de 42 días correspondiente a es
Conciencia Pránica o Vivir en Puro estado de Felicidad, baseado na experiencia de Vivir de Luz nombre basado en el libro de la australiana Jasmuheen, que enseña técnicas canalizadas por los Maestros Ascendidos, permitiendo que a partir de un retiro de 21 días una persona común pueda alimentar-se exclusivamente de energía vital o prana.
Este és el tema abordado en el taller, que tiene por finalidad divulgar esta posibilidad y traer una reflexión sobre los valores de nuestra sociedad actual. Este primer contacto con el tema es el inicio de la rotura de patrones limitantes arraigados en el inconsciente de cada ser. El contenido está basado en la experiencia personal, vivenciadas desde 2001; también en el intercambio con Jasmuheen y en la experiencia adquirida en acompañar el proceso iniciático de más de 400 personas de 28 diferentes naciones.

Me han dicho que usted no come.
No me gustaría centrar la charla en eso.
¿Es un yogui?
Practico yoga desde niño. Me enseñaron mis padres: siendo veinteañeros dejaron la ciudad para vivir en el campo y cultivar sus propios alimentos. Y allí nacimos sus diez hijos.
¡Diez!
Decidieron dejar a la naturaleza seguir su curso… Sin anticonceptivos. ¡Y sin televisor!
¿Qué les llevó al campo?
Las ansias de vivir con conciencia y fieles a la naturaleza. Se hicieron vegetarianos, y así nos criaron.
¿Nunca ha comido carne?
No. En casa somos veganos: ni comemos ni usamos nada de origen animal, nada que provenga de algún sufrimiento animal.
Por ejemplo…
No montamos caballos ni usamos animales para labrar. Ni usamos cosméticos que hayan sido testados con animales.
Pues sepa que el ser humano es omnívoro y que hemos comido mucha carne.
Muy poquita mientras fuimos nómadas cazadores- recolectores. Y justamente desde que somos sedentarios y ganaderos empezaron los problemas de territorialidad, las guerras… ¡Comer carne trae desgracias!
¿Cuántas más?
Dedicar enormes extensiones agrarias a cultivar pienso para ganado: ¡miles de personas podrían comer con esos vegetales!
¿Algún otro perjuicio de la carne?
Medioambiental: la ganadería contamina tierras, aguas y aires, cada vaca expele 500 litros de metano a la atmósfera con sus ventosidades, ¡y es un gas muy venenoso!
Así, creció usted como yogui vegano…
Sí, fue así hasta hace nueve años. En ese momento empezaron a llamarnos locos…
¿Locos? ¿Por qué? Mi madre empezó a seguir los ejemplos de Teresa Neumannn, de Paramahansa Yogananda, de Jasmuheen, de Giri Bala…
¿Quiénes son esas personas?
Personas cuya toma de conciencia les dota de tal dominio de su metabolismo, que pueden prescindir de ingerir alimentos sólidos.
Repita esto: no sé si le he entendido…
Que son personas que no comen nada. Mi madre siguió el preceptivo retiro iniciático, que incluye ayunar 21 días seguidos.
¿Y cómo quedó su imprudente madre?
Muy contenta, feliz, serena.
Eso es imposible: si no comes, mueres. Mediante un cambio de tus estructuras de conciencia, puedes conseguir un cambio de tu memoria celular.
Eso es palabrería, lo lamento. Yo llevo nueve años sin comer alimento sólido alguno. Sólo me tomo cuatro zumos de frutas por semana.
No me lo creo: no le veo nada famélico.
Entiendo que no me crea, porque esto es algo muy raro. Pero que yo no coma alimentos sólidos… no significa que no me nutra.
¿Y de qué se nutre? ¿De esos zumitos?
De prana: es la energía sutil en que estamos inmersos, está en todas partes, en los átomos… Una meditación activa, un estado de conciencia atento, presente, observante, ¡permite captarla y nutrirse de esa energía!
Yo no jugaré con mi salud ni moriré de inanición: ¡su discurso es insostenible!
Hablo para buscadores de paz interior, no de hacer un ayuno ni de adelgazar, ¿eh?
Seguro que adelgazas si no comes, ¡pero también entras en coma y mueres! Tras los primeros 21 días yo perdí seis kilos, pero a los tres meses de nutrirme de prana ya había ganado siete kilos.
Déjese de locuras: tome esta aceituna.
¡No! El otro día estaba trabajando en el campo con unos campesinos y me ofrecieron unos buñuelos de batata y mañoca: tuve que aceptarlos para no desairar su hospitalidad.
¿Estaban sabrosos?
Mucho, mucho…
¿Lo ve, qué bien? ¿Qué dice la ciencia?
Algunos médicos están investigando a personas como Hira Ratam Manek, que llevan años sin comer, o a Pralad Jani, de 80 años, que no come nada desde los 10 años.
¿Y qué pasa con sus intestinos, eh? Se atrofian algunas funciones de absorción y las excretoras, pero siguen secretando sustancias hormonales reguladoras.
¿Hace usted proselitismo de esto?
No. Sólo hablo de búsqueda de autoconocimiento. Enfatizo en esto: no se trata ni de engordar el ego ni de adelgazar el cuerpo, ni de sanar enfermedades ni de un ayuno.
¿Y conoce a muchos buscadores?
Unas 500 personas lo han practicado en Brasil, bajo mi asistencia y la de mi familia. ¡No aconsejo hacerlo solo! El 10% desiste a los pocos días, y el resto sigue hasta los 21 días. Pero sólo un 5% persevera después.
¿Nadie les ha denunciado por esto?
Evelyn, una lectora de la obra de Jasmuheen, salió en televisión diciendo que vivía de luz, y otra mujer quiso imitarla… y murió. Su esposo denunció a Evelyn por incitación al suicidio. No sé cómo va el proceso…
Serán vistos como secta peligrosa…
Yo sólo formo parte de un grupo de personas cuyo propósito es acceder a un estado de conciencia de felicidad constante.
Si un día tiene un hijo, ¿qué le dirá?
No le diré que no coma, sólo que sea feliz.
Yo me siento feliz mientras comparto con amigos una buena comida y un vino.
Pues yo confío en que un día nos baste con compartir arte en vez de comida.

Consciencia Pránica
Es una forma de vivir conectado a la percepción de que todo es energía divina. Vivir en la frecuencia de la Felicidad, que nos permite acceder al vasto campo de infinitas posibilidades. Vivir en la Presencia.
Estar consciente de que la energía, que es el todo, se manifiesta en diferentes niveles de frecuencias vibratorias; a partir de esta consciencia, también se entiende que donde se coloca intención se crea un pulso que pone en movimiento la energía y moldea una nueva manifestación, ya sea en el campo físico o sutil.
La energía aquí llamada Prana, que puede ser mejor entendida como energía vital o fotones de luz, es una partícula de inteligencia cósmica que está y siempre estuvo en nosotros y en nuestro entorno, la materia está compuesta por este potencial immensurable; él de alma a los seres vivos, desarrolla funciones creativas en el plano material y en el campo invisible, también llamado Etérico.
Si podemos mover esta energía creativa a través de la intención, podemos modificar nuestra condición de ser limitado, podemos crear nuestra realidad conscientemente, libre de patrones limitantes. A partir de una toma de consciencia, vamos a reconocer que al moldear nuestra realidad vamos a afectar a la realidad de todo, entonces traemos la responsabilidad de impulsar solo buenos flujos en la creación de nuestro proyecto personal.
Tomando esta consciencia nos conectamos con esta fuerza divina que crea realidades favorables a la realización del plano divino individual, y que como parte del todo es el mantenimiento para una vida Feliz y Próspera; así estos niveles de frecuencia más elevados elevarán también el patrón vibratorio planetario.
Para mantenerse en esta frecuencia elevada que nos permita el estado de Felicidad Plena se precisa energía. Aquella necesaria para observar la calidad de los pensamientos, energía para observar los patrones internos de los cuerpos físico, mental y emocional, energía para dirigir nuestra intención al equilibrio, energía para mantenerse conectado a la consciencia. Que por fin nos revela el verdadero potencial.
Cuando observamos estamos en el presente y en él nos conectamos a lo que es real, en él sólo hay perfección, pues la consciencia sabe lo que puede cambiar y lo que no puede, y lo acepta. En el presente no existe lucha, no hay desgaste de energía con conflictos internos. El presente es la Presencia.
Despuçes de dirigir el prana para una limpieza en todas las extensiones de nuestro ser a través de la intención, tendremos la clara revelación de como nuestra energía se desvanece cuando estamos viviendo en pasado y el futuro (recuerdos,juicios, proyecciones y preocupaciones), se mostrará nítidamente quien es el ego, sólo la percepción de quien es él nos coloca en la posición de quien somos, el observador, nuestra divinidad se revela, a pesar de que siempre estuvo ahí.
Entonces, percibiremos que algunos elementos en nuestras vidas interfieren en nuestra frecuencia vibratoria, y encontramos el circuito de dispersión; por ejemplo, cuando tenemos pensamientos negativos o cuando comemos algo que tiene una baja frecuencia, como por ejemplo carne, que además de las toxinas también trae a nuestro ser el dolor, el sufrimiento, la violencia y el miedo, nuestra vibración es alterada, con eso tenemos un desequilibrio en el cuerpo físico, emocional y mental, perdemos mucha energía para digerir, recuperar nuestro centro y restaurar nuestro campo vibratorio original.
Sin esa energía tenemos dificultad para observar, así salimos del presente, perdemos la Presencia y dejamos el estado de Felicidad. Entonces caemos en nuestros dramas diarios, nos distanciamos de nuestro potencial y volvemos a ser guiados por el ego. Pasamos a liberar elementos no concientes, de baja frecuencia para el inconsciente colectivo, empezamos a producir pensamientos en la misma franja vibratoria, nuestras palabras pierden su poder y densificamos nuestra percepción sobre ellas distanciándonos del precioso silencio o del poder de la invocación y verdad; las acciones pasan a ser apenas una reproducción de los patrones ya establecidos en este nivel denso de vibración.
Conectándonos a esta potencial Universal, o prana, asumimos concientemente un mecanismo que nos ayuda a mantener el esta de Comunión y Amor de forma continua. Si elevamos nuestra frecuencia por encima de los niveles ordinarios, vamos activando capacidades más sutiles, como por ejemplo la posibilidad de vivir sin la dependencia de la comida. La inteligencia corporal sustituye o complementa la necesidad de alimentos dísicos para una alimentación procedente de Luz Divina o prana. Haciendo que no perdamos la energía para para observar y mantenenos en el presente; en el proceso digestivo perdemos más del 50% de nuestra energía, dentro de una dieta dicha “normal”.
El factor no comer o vivir básicamente de la energía del Amor, nos ayuda a mantenernos en una frecuencia más elevada sin tanto gasto de energía. Entonces entramos en el Cicuito de Sustento, donde percibimos que abastecerse de este modo sólo es posible cuando estamos Felices, pues de lo contrario, con la vibración baja el cuerpo siente la necesidad de un apoyo físico aunque esto lo haga más denso. Él accede al Circuito de Supervivencia, ya que no es la consciencia quien está controlando. Como la mayoría de nosotros estamos viviendo en el modo de la inconciencia, la inteligencia del cuerpo cumple su papel cerrada en el circuito de la supervivencia.
La franja vibratoria del campo de infinitas posibilidades, no está limitada solamente a aquellos que no ongieren alimentos físicos, puedes llegar a estos mismos etados dentro de una alimentación física conciente, o si el cuerpo está siendo alimentado por el prana también puedes usar el macanismo del discernimiento y transitar por los sabores sin perdes la conexión con la consciencia.
Para vivir de Luz es precisa la ecuanimidad, una condición mental y emocional establa, es preciso estar en la Presencia.
Existen algunos medios que permiten una expansión de la consciencia, una elevación mayor del campo vibratorio. Uno de ellos es la iniciación espiritual conocida como “Proceso de los 21 días”, en ella se observa un cambio en el sistema de creencias y la transmutación e los patrones limitantes, sucede una profunda limpieza física, emocional y mental que permita una percepción mayor, también se tiene la experiencia de la Felicidad Plena. Son 21 días sin comida, la primera semana sin ingerir absolutamente nada, ni agua; esta situación radical es necesaria para reconocernos libres de miedo, de rencores, de la posición de víctima, curar vicios mentales, disolver los coágulos emocionales y fortalecer la Fe.
En este proceso nuestro cuerpo reconoce el prana y utiliza esta energía sutil para crear materia, los componentes que el organismo necesita para vivir.
Consciencia Pránica es vaciar el vaso y percibir que el vacío es un universo de infinitas posibilidades, donde hay unidad, Amor, Paz y Felicidad.
Consciencia Pránica es un medio más que posibilita la conexión con lo Divino.
Channelling Higher Self medium, Lincoln, provides insight into the Sun as a teacher of Love and Light in this 33-minute YouTube video.
“The Sun is an amazing giver of Light and Love. Giving its Light and Love freely to all the world, not judging mankind in any way. We can learn a lot from the Sun. Including how to become givers of our Light and Love to the world. A special blessing of amazing healing Love is given by the Christ, “The Sun of God”, during this channeling session.”
This YouTube video from Channelling Higher Self medium, Lincoln, teaches about the “divine design” of human beings, the healing powers of the sun, and the relationship between sunlight and spiritual light.
“What is the relationship between sunlight and God’s spiritual light and how does it affect personal and planetary transformation?
Learn the Divine connections between our physical body, the sun, and the earth. Learn how our bodies were designed to be fed by the sun. By connecting with the sun, we are able to bring greater amounts of Love and light into our bodies to be shared with this entire planet. Surrender into the sun and allow our physical bodies to become light.”
Project X: The Search for the Secrets of Immortality appeared in the December 1989 issue of East West Magazine. Gene Savoy – author, archaeologist, historian, and spiritualist – is the modern day Indiana Jones.
In 1945, during his explorations in Peru, Gene Savoy discovered the ancient Incan teachings of Solar Gazing. These discoveries were released to the general public in 1977 in his book Project X. Gene Savoy withdrew his book from publication, however, after it received much controversy from the public. Over 20 years, later the sungazer sat for this interview with East West magazine in December 1989.
Active sun gazer Wayne Purdin is the founder of The Sun Center of Phoenix, located in Phoenix, Arizona USA. In this article, Wayne traces the roots of sun worship as practiced in Arizona. Articles includes a photograph of Hira Ratan Manek (HRM) at the Hohokam ruins near Phoenix, Arizona.
Ancient and modern sun worshipers of Phoenix
On Summer Solstice 2005, I arose in the predawn darkness and drove to the Shaw Butte trailhead near Thunderbird and Central Avenue. My objective was the ruins of an ancient Hohokam solar observatory near the peak and I hoped to reach it before sunrise. I had read that archeologists had recently discovered a chamber whose doorway exactly aligned with the Summer Solstice rising sun. I wanted to meditate in that chamber and gaze upon the rising sun just as Hohokam initiates had done hundreds of years ago. But much to my chagrin, when I arrived at the ruins, I discovered three archeologists in the chamber with a video camera filming a documentary about the Hohokam. I had to settle on a spot adjacent to the chamber to do my sun gazing. The archeologists filmed me as an example of a modern-day sun worshiper. HRM at Hohokam ruins.

With an average of 325 sunny days every year, Phoenix is a Mecca for sun worshipers who want to escape the cold and clouds of most other cities. But recently, a different kind of sun worshiper has been gazing at and basking in the rays of the Phoenician sun. Since 2004, sun yogi Hira Ratan Manek has been coming to Phoenix to lecture on the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of sungazing or looking at the sun either at sunrise or sunset. He also advises people to sunbathe during safe hours, drink sun-charged water and walk barefoot on sun-warmed sand. Although he would insist that sungazing is not a religion and requires no beliefs or guru, there are definite spiritual effects from sungazing. In fact, ancient sun worshipers who sungazed formed the foundations of monotheism, as can be seen in the religions of Akhenaton and Zoroaster.
It’s not surprising that the Hohokam Indians, who lived in and around Phoenix and who constructed the intricate canal system that criss-crosses the city, were sun worshipers. According to Charles Poston, the father of Arizona, the Pima Indians also were sun worshipers. Poston himself was a sun worshiping Zoroastrian who converted to that religion after visiting India in the late 1860’s. He even wrote a book about it, The Sun Worshipers of Asia. Poston was convinced that the Pima Indians once had a sun temple on the peak of Primrose Hill in Florence, south of Phoenix. He spent a fortune constructing a road to the top of the hill so he could rebuild the temple, but ran out of money. He died penniless in 1902 in Phoenix. He was later buried in a pyramid-shaped mausoleum on the peak of the hill, which was renamed Poston’s Butte.
I climbed Poston’s Butte on New Year’s Eve 2005 to meditate and gaze at the sunset, but instead of archeologists, I found three revelers getting an early start on the celebrations. I was angry that these locals were disturbing me and that they would show such disrespect for Poston’s final resting place and supposed ruins of an ancient sun temple. It made me wonder if the Hohokam somehow knew that the white man would be coming and didn’t want to be around for it. The name “Hohokam” means “those who have gone.” They disappeared mysteriously around 1450 AD. No one knows why or where they went. Some think that they all died due to drought or floods that destroyed their canals. But legend has it that the Hohokam were children of the sun and that they all ascended to the sun.

In all of God’s marvelous creation there is no creature more beautiful, powerful and intelligent than the sun. The sun provides us with light, energy and warmth. It makes plants grow. It regulates the hormonal cycles of animals and humans. It stimulates the production of vitamin D in our skin, which is essential for health, and the secretion of serotonin and melatonin in the brain, which are essential for well being.
But more than this, the ancient people in every culture and religion knew that sunlight was the key to immortality and enlightenment. The ancient Incas, Egyptians, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Essenes, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Native Americans would gaze at the sun during certain times of the day, recite special prayers and mantras, and perform mudras or hand gestures. Most traditional archaeologists and anthropologists dismiss this as the sun worship of primitive societies. They ignore the fact that the monotheistic solar religions of Zarathustra and Akhenaton liberated people for a short while from bondage to the superstitions of pantheistic religions and created peaceful Utopian societies. They also ignore the fact that the great teacher of sungazing, Lord Meru, otherwise known as El Dorado or Quetzalcoatl, raised the primitive tribes of the Central and South American jungles into civilized societies that had knowledge of medicine, metallurgy, farming, animal husbandry, writing, engineering, mathematics and astronomy with cities containing hundreds of stone buildings, water and sewer systems and paved roads. Scientists and historians fail to realize that the physical sun was only the outer symbol of the object of worship, which was the spiritual Sun behind the sun which can enlighten people and transform them into beings of light.
One maverick archaeologist, Gene Savoy, who discovered several lost cities of South America, read the records of this ancient solar science and rediscovered its principles and techniques. However, just as the sungazing Essenes did, Savoy kept this information secret and passed it on by word of mouth only to select initiates of his school.
Fortunately, in 1992, Sun yogi Hira Ratan Manek (HRM) began to teach simple, safe and enjoyable techniques of Sun yoga such as sungazing and sun-charged water. He had spent years researching and experimenting before he felt confident enough to offer this knowledge to the world. Since that time, he has taught hundreds of thousands of people attending countless lectures in dozens of countries across the globe. I attended one of them in Phoenix in May of 2005. I consider HRM a guide and confidant, but not a guru. As he tells people, “Sun gazing is a cost-free, guru-free practice that will free mankind from mental and physical disease and spiritual ignorance.”
Could it be that simple? Just gaze at the sun and your worries will melt away, your body will be healed and you’ll become enlightened? It sounded too easy to be true. But as I continued to faithfully sungaze every day and do the three other practices of sun yoga, I found myself becoming more carefree and loving, my “incurable” leukemia slowly died, and I have begun a walk with God that is peaceful and at the same time. I found sungazing while searching desperately for a cure for my Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). At the time, I was spending hours every day researching and trying various herbs, supplements and healing foods. At one point, I was taking a daily salvo of 43 different vitamins, herbs and minerals. To say that I was obsessed with my disease would be putting it mildly.
The first change I noticed after a couple of weeks of sungazing was that I wasn’t concerned as much about finding a cure. I would go for days without thinking about CLL. Over the course of the next 10 months, my blood tests showed a gradual improvement in white blood cell count and other markers. My hematologist told me that, while I wasn’t quite in remission, my condition had stabilized, and she changed the frequency of blood tests from three months to six months and eventually to once a year. Now I rarely think about CLL. At my last blood test, my white blood cell count and other markers were close to normal.
Sun gazing also increased the fire in my spirit, giving me more ambition to fulfill my life purpose as a writer. In the last couple of years, I’ve had several articles published in local magazines and newspapers, I have written three books and the first chapter of a fourth, and I have averaged over an article a day on examiner.com. Just as with the sungazing early Christian writers of the gospels, I would receive inspiration while sungazing. Thus, some of my writing is inspired from the sun.
I have experienced other benefits from sungazing, such as more energy, less need for sleep, loss of food cravings, the ability to be satisfied with small servings, improved eyesight, and better relationships. But what I find most life changing and satisfying are the spiritual benefits.
I haven’t developed spiritual powers or siddhis. I spent many years trying to do that with other techniques. But what I have acquired is a profound conviction that the source of all goodness in the universe, whether you call it God, “the Good,” the Great Central Sun, or whatever, will inspire me, guide and protect me, heal and comfort me, provide for my every need, and work miracles in my life for the greatest good of all concerned. I don’t get upset by set backs and problems; I now understand and live the great maxim “Let go and let God.” Before, I had always tried to solve a problem by researching it to death. I had always thought that the word “understanding” meant that when you stand under a problem and see all its underlying parts, you can arrive at a solution. But now my understanding of understanding is this: When you stand under the sun and receive its healing and enlightening rays, you will automatically arrive at the SOLution, for the sun is over all.

In his audio book The SOLution, Wayne Purdin presents the history of sun gazing and sun worship, starting in Ancient Egypt and continuing through the 21st century. This article features the introduction to the spiritual practice of Sun Gazing.
The Mysteries of the Sun – Introduction to Sun Gazing
Sun gazing is as old as mankind. According to the creation myth of the sun gazing Yezidis of Iraq, after the creation of Earth, God sent the seven archangels to the Garden of Eden with the specific mission of creating and educating Adam and Eve. Archangel Michael created them and endowed them with a soul by blowing the breath of life into them. His first lesson ensued when he turned them towards the rising sun while informing them that they and their descendants were to daily worship the flaming orb as symbolic of the supreme God. To enhance their worship, he gave them special prayers they were to recite while meditating on God. Sun gazing was part of the esoteric mystery teachings of many religions and secret societies: Atonism, Mithraism, Gnosticism, Zoroastrianism, Kaballah, Surya Yoga, the Roscicrucians, Freemasonry, Cathars, Bogomils and others.
The special prayers or mantras are another part of these teachings, which I call “the mysteries of the sun.” They have been given to every culture by great adepts as means of enlightening the minds of the people and freeing them from the darkness of ignorance and superstition. I will examine the life and teachings of eleven adepts from the most distant, Ra, to the most recent, Omraam. I could have included more, but I think that the teachings of these eleven will provide a complete enough understanding of the SOLution they presented to mankind. These masters taught that we should look to the sun and take it within, that it expands the mind, and that you begin, through the rays of the sun, to tap into the very mind of God. What these teachers all have in common is that they have become liberated from the cycle of birth and death and have ascended to the etheric realm. They are either ascended masters, otherwise known as saints, or cosmic beings, otherwise known as gods. A saint or ascended master is a soul who has graduated from the elementary school of Earth, has put on the garment of immortality and has moved on to higher realms. A god is a soul who has received a doctorate from the universe in a particular virtue or quality or has an important position in hierarchy, such as rulership of a planet or star.
Today, as the Sun of Aquarius dawns upon our collective awareness, all of the ascended masters, archangels and cosmic beings are coming forth with new teachings in a concerted effort to establish a golden-age solar civilization. These teachings are freely available to everyone through various activities of the Great White Brotherhood in the form of messages called dictations. The ascended master El Morya said that dictations are “expanding matrices designed to expand, through your own meditation, the circumference of self-awareness.” The ascended master Omraam, when he was in embodiment, instructed his disciples to contemplate luminous thoughts while gazing at the Sun. There can be no more luminous thoughts than the words of ascended masters and cosmic beings released in dictations.
The radiant being that ensouls the sun is known by many names in every culture: Ra, Helios, Mithra, Inti, Shamash and so on. This cosmic being was a part of the pantheon of gods of every ancient religion. Today, Helios and his consort Vesta are part of the hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood as the representatives of the Solar Presence for our solar system.
The following is an excerpt from a message that Helios delivered in the city of the sun, Phoenix, through the messenger David C. Lewis on December 31, 2006.
“It is time for mankind to understand the sacred science of sungazing and of corollary sciences whereby they may have greater healing of body, mind and soul through attuning to the warmth of the inner richness of the heart, center of all life. You see, blessed ones, when your eyes are trained upon the solar disk in the heavens, there is the transfer through your eye, unto your pineal gland and to all of your inner glands, the light of my presence. And this radiance can be not only for the homeostasis of your physical being, but of the greater enfiring of all of your spiritual centers and of your inner bodies. There can be the reconnection, in a greater manifestation, between all of your inner bodies when you understand the science of the sun. For within each body there is, at its core, a Solar Presence, and when, in alignment, these sun-fire energies are all clearly in resonance with each other, creating a vortex of fire within you, such that great quantities of cosmic radiance may enter your being, even through your crown chakra at the point where the pulsation from your God Presence does enter through your crystal cord.”

The Secret of the Veda
by Sri Aurobindo
Surya Savitri, Creator and Increaser Rig Veda V.81
1. Men illumined yoke their mind and they yoke their thoughts to him who is illumination and largeness and clear perceiving. Knowing all phenomena he orders, sole, the Energies of the sacrifice. Vast is the affirmation in all things of Savitri, the divine Creator.
2. All forms he takes unto himself, the Seer, and he creates from them good for the twofold existence and the fourfold. The Creator, the supreme Good, manifests Heaven wholly and his light pervades all as he follows the march of the Dawn.
3. In the wake of his march the other gods also reach by his force to the greatness of the Divinity. He has mapped out the realms of earthly light by his mightiness,—the brilliant one, the divine Creator.
4. And thou reachest, O Savitri, to the three luminous heavens; and thou art utterly expressed by the rays of the Sun; and thou encompassest the Night upon either side; and thou becomest by the law of thy actions the lord of Love, O God.
5. And thou art powerful for every creation; and thou becomest the Increaser, O God, by thy movings; and thou illuminest utterly all this world of becomings. Shyavashwa has attained to the affirmation of thee, O Savitri.(1)
COMMENTARY:
Indra with his shining hosts, the Maruts, Agni, the divine force, fulfiller of the Aryan sacrifice, are the most important deities of the Vedic system. Agni is the beginning and the end. This Will that is knowledge is the initiator of the upward effort of the mortal towards Immortality; to this divine consciousness that is one with divine power we arrive as the foundation of immortal existence. Indra, lord of Swar, the luminous intelligence into which we have to convert our obscure material mentality in order to become capable of the divine consciousness, is our chief helper. It is by the aid of Indra and theMaruts that the conversion is effected. The Maruts take our animal consciousness made up of the impulses of the nervous mentality, possess these impulses with their illuminations and drive them up the hill of being towards the world of Swar and the truths of Indra. Our mental evolution begins with these animal troops, these “Pashus”; they become, as we progress in the ascension, the brilliant herds of the Sun, rays, the divine cows of the Veda. Such is the psychological sense of the Vedic symbol.
But who, then, is Surya, the Sun, from whom these rays proceed? He is the Master of Truth, Surya the Illuminator, Savitri the Creator, Pushan the Increaser. His rays in their own nature are supramental activities of revelation, inspiration, intuition, luminous discernment, and they constitute the action of that transcendent principle which the Vedanta calls Vijnana, the perfect knowledge, the Veda Ritam, the Truth. But these rays descend also into the human mentality and form at its summit the world of luminous intelligence, Swar, of which Indra is the lord.
For this Vijnana is a divine and not a human faculty. Man’s mind is not constituted of the self-luminous truth, like the divine mind; it is a sense-mentality, Manas, which can receive and understand (2)Truth, but is not one with it. The light of knowledge has to present itself in this human understanding tempered so as to suit its forms to the capacities and limitations of the physical consciousness. And it has to lead up progressively to its own true nature, to manifest successive evolutionary stages for our mental development. Therefore the rays of Surya, as they labour to form our mental existence, create three successive worlds of mentality one superimposed on the other,—the sensational, aesthetic and emotional mind, the pure intellect and the divine intelligence. The fullness and perfection of these triple worlds of mind exists only in the pure mental plane of being,(3) where they shine above the three heavens, as their three luminosities. But their light descends upon the physical consciousness and effects the corresponding formations in its realms, the Vedic, earthly realms of light. They also are triple, tisrah the three earths. And of all these worlds Surya Savitri is the creator.
We have in this figure of various psychological levels, each considered as a world in itself, a key to the conceptions of the Vedic Rishis. The human individual is an organised unit of existence which reflects the constitution of the universe. It repeats in itself the same arrangement of states and play of forces. Man, subjectively, contains in himself all the worlds in which, objectively, he is contained. Preferring ordinarily a concrete to an abstract language, the Rishis speak of the physical consciousness as the physical world, earth, Bhu, Prithivi. They describe the pure mental consciousness as heaven, Dyaus, of which Swar, the luminous mind, is the summit. To the intermediate dynamic, vital or nervous consciousness they give the name either of Antariksha, the intermediate vision, or of Bhuvar,—multiple dynamic worlds formative of the Earth.
For in the idea of the Rishis a world is primarily a formation of consciousness and only secondarily a physical formation of things. A world is a loka, a way in which conscious being images itself. And it is the causal Truth, represented in the person of Surya Savitri, that is the creator of all its forms. For it is the causal Idea in the infinite being,—the idea, not abstract, but real and dynamic,—that originates the law, the energies, the formations of things and the working out of their potentialities in determined forms by determined processes. Because the causal Idea is a real force of existence, it is called Satyam, the True in being; because it is the determining truth of all activity and formation, it is called Ritam, the True in movement; because it is broad and infinite in its self-view, in its scope and in its operation, it is called Brihat, the Large or Vast.
Savitri by the Truth is the Creator, but not in the sense of a fabrication or mechanical forming of things. The root of the word means an impulsion, a loosing forth or sending out,—the sense also of the ordinary word for creation, —and so a production. The action of the causal Idea does not fabricate, but brings out by Tapas, by the pressure of consciousness on its own being, that which is concealed in it, latent in potentiality and in truth already existent in the Beyond.
Now the forces and processes of the physical world repeat, as in a symbol, the truths of the supraphysical action which produced it. And since it is by the same forces and the same processes, one in the physical worlds and the supraphysical, that our inner life and its development are governed, the Rishis adopted the phenomena of physical Nature as just symbols for those functionings of the inner life which it was their difficult task to indicate in the concrete language of a sacred poetry that must at the same time serve for the external worship of the Gods as powers of the visible universe. The solar energy is the physical form of Surya, Lord of Light and Truth; it is through the Truth that we arrive at Immortality, final aim of the Vedic discipline. It is therefore under the images of the Sun and its rays, of Dawn and day and night and the life of man between the two poles of light and darkness that the Aryan seers represent the progressive illumination of the human soul. It is so that Shyavashwa of the house of Atri hymns Savitri, Creator, Increaser, Revealer.
Surya enlightens the mind and the thoughts with the illuminations of the Truth. He is vipra, the illumined. It is he who delivers the individual human mind from the circumscribed consciousness of self and environment and enlarges the limited movement which is imposed on it by its preoccupation with its own individuality. Therefore he is br.hat, the Large. But his illumination is not a vague light, nor does his largeness come by a confused and dissolved view of self and object; it holds in itself a clear discernment of things in their totality, their parts and their relations. Therefore he is vipáscit, the clear in perception. Men as soon as they begin to receive something of this solar illumination, strive to yoke their whole mentality and its thought-contents to the conscious existence of the divine Surya within them. That is to say, they apply, as it were, all their obscure mental state and all their erring thoughts to this Light manifested in them so that it may turn the obscurity of the mind into clearness and convert the errors of thought into those truths which they distortedly represent. This yoking becomes their Yoga. “They yoke the mind, and they yoke their thoughts, the enlightened, of (i.e. to, or so that they may be part of or belong to) the Enlightened, the Large, the Clear-perceptioned. ”
Then the Lord of Truth orders all the human energies offered up to him in the terms of the Truth; for he becomes in man a sole and sovereign Power governing all knowledge and action. Not interfered with by conflicting agencies, he governs perfectly; for he knows all manifestations, comprehends their causes, contains their law and process, compels their right result. There are seven of these sacrificial energies (Hotras) in the human being, one corresponding to each of the seven constituents of his psychological existence,—body, life, mind, super-mind, bliss, will and essential being. Their irregular action or wrong relation, caused and maintained by the obscuration of knowledge in Mind, is the source of all stumbling and unhappiness, of all evil act and evil state. Surya, Lord of Knowledge, puts each of them to its right place in the Sacrifice. “Knower of phenomena sole he arranges the sacrificial energies.”
Man thus arrives at a vast and all-embracing affirmation in himself of this divine Creator. It is implied in this passage and indicated more clearly in the next verse that the result is a right and happy creation—for all our existence is a constant creation—of the universe of man’s whole being. “Vast is the comprehensive affirmation of the god Savitri.”
Surya is the seer, the revealer. His Truth takes into its illumination all forms of things, all the phenomenal objects and experiences which constitute our world, all the figures of the universal Consciousness within and without us. It reveals the truth in them, their sense, their purpose, their justification and right use. Ordering rightly the energies of the sacrifice it creates or produces good as the law of our whole existence. For all things have their justifiable cause of being, their good use and their right enjoyment. When this truth in them is found and utilised, all things produce good for the soul, increase its welfare, enlarge its felicity. And this divine revolution is effected both in the lower physical existence and in the more complete inner life which uses the physical for its manifestation. “The Seer takes to himself all forms, he brings out (creates or manifests) good for the twofold (two-footed) , for the fourfold (four-footed) .”(4)
The discussion of it here would occupy too large a space. The process of this new creation is described in the rest of the hymn. Surya, as the creator, as the supreme good, manifests in our human consciousness its concealed heavenly summit on the levels of the pure mind, and we are able to look up above from the earth of our physical existence and are delivered from the obscurities of the night of Ignorance. He follows, sunlike, the march of the Dawn, illuminating all the regions of our being on which falls its light; for there is always needed the precursory mental illumination before the Truth itself, the supramental principle, can take possession of this lower existence. “The creator, the supremely desirable, manifests all heaven and shines pervadingly following (after or according to) the movement forward of the Dawn.”
All the other gods follow in this march of Surya and they attain to his vastness by the force of his illumination. That is to say, all the other divine faculties or potentialities in man expand with the expansion of the Truth and Light in him; in the strength of the ideal super-mind they attain to the same infinite amplitude of right becoming, right action and right knowledge. The Truth in its largeness moulds all into the terms of the infinite and universal Life, replaces with it the limited individual existence, maps out in the terms of their real being the realms of the physical consciousness which, as Savitri, it has created. This also is in us a creation, although in reality it only manifests what already exists but was concealed by the darkness of our ignorance,— just as the realms of the physical earth are concealed from our eyes by the darkness, but reveal themselves as the sun in his march follows the Dawn and measures them out one by one to the vision. “Following whose march the other gods too reach the vastness of the divinity by his strength, he who maps out entirely—that brilliant one—the earthly realms of light, the god Savitri, by his greatness.”
But it is not only the full capacity of our physical or earthly consciousness that this divine Truth illuminates and forms for a perfect action. It pervades the three luminous realms of the pure mind; it puts us in contact with all the divine possibilities of the sensations and emotions, of the intellect, of the intuitive reason and liberating the superior faculties from their limitation and constant reference to the material world fulfils our entire mental being. Its activities receive their completest manifestation; they are gathered up into the life of the complete Truth by the rays of the sun, that is to say, by the full splendour of the divine Super-Mind manifested in us. “And thou goest, O Savitri, to the three luminousnesses, and thou art perfectly expressed by the rays of the Sun (or, art gathered together by means of the rays).”
Then it is that the higher kingdom of the Immortality, Sachchidananda revealed, shines out perfectly in this world. The higher and lower are reconciled in the light of the supra-mental revelation. The Ignorance, the Night, is illumined upon both sides of our complete being, not only as in our present state upon one. This higher kingdom stands confessed in the principle of Beatitude which is for us the principle of Love and Light, represented by the god Mitra. The Lord of Truth, when he reveals himself in the full godhead, becomes the Lord of Bliss. The law of his being, the principle regulating his activities is seen to be Love; for in the right arrangement of knowledge and action everything here comes to be translated into terms of good, felicity, bliss. “And thou encompassest Night upon both sides, and thou becomest, O God, Mitra by the laws of thy action.” The Truth of the divine existence becomes eventually the sole Lord of all creation in ourselves; and by his constant visitations or by his continual progressions the Creator becomes the Increaser, Savitri becomes Pushan. He aggrandises us by a constantly progressive creation until he has illumined the whole world of our becoming. We grow into the complete, the universal, the infinite. So has Shyavashwa, of the sons of Atri, succeeded in affirming Savitri in his own being as the illuminative Truth, the creative, the progressive, the increaser of man—he who brings him out of egoistic limitation into universality, out of the finite into the infinite. “And thou hast power alone for creation; and thou becomest the Increaser,OGod, by the goings; and thou illuminest entirely all this world (literally, becoming). Shyavashwa has attained to the affirmation of thee, O Savitri.”
Footnotes
1 For a good idiomatic and literary translation, rendering the sense and rhythm of the original, a certain freedom in turning the Sanskrit is necessary. I have therefore given a more literal version of its phrases in the body of the Commentary. 2 The Vedic word for the understanding is dh̅ı , that which receives and holds in place. 3 Our natural plane of being is obviously the physical consciousness, but the others also are open to us since part of our being lives in each of them. 4 The symbolism of the words dvipade and catus.pade may be differently interpreted.
