“The sacrifice which men of genius—mystics, artists, inventors—make of their whole lives to this one object, this one vision of truth, is not self-denial, but rather self-fulfillment. They gather themselves up from the unreal, in order to concentrate on the real. The whole personality then absorbs or enters into communion with certain rhythms or harmonies existent in the universe, which the receiving apparatus of other selves cannot take up. … ‘The numbers came!’ says the poet. He knows not how, certainly not by deliberate intellection.
“So it is with the mystic. Madam Guyon states in her autobiography, that when she was composing her works she would experience a sudden and irresistible inclination to take up her pen. … Similar statements are made of St. Teresa, who declared that in writing her books she was powerless to set down anything but that which her master put into her mind. … The subliminal mind of the great mystic, however, is not disorderly.” ~Evelyn Underhill

When people read of mystics and adepts giving up certain things like popular foods and sporting events they think of this as self-denial and see it as a lifestyle they are not interested in. But as Ms. Underhill points out, that is not the correct way to interpret it. What the mystic is giving up is something of very little value in exchange for which he gains something of much greater value. It is really not much different than the athlete who skips going to a movie with his friends so that he can go practice is swimming or jumping or whatever activity is involved in his sport. Generally speaking, people don’t see that athlete as being in self-denial, but they often think that way when they see the spiritual person or the mystic giving up some of the fun materialistic activities that so many find enjoyable.

A Critical Analysis of Chromotherapy and Its Scientific Evolution

“. . . Contrary to accepted scientific theory, which assumes that each element is a unit, Ghadiali (1927) concluded that ‘the chemical elements are colour compounds’. His results can be proved by any of the sophisticated equipment of modern science. ‘A specific disease thus constitutes a specific imbalance of colour waves and by implication, chemical imbalance.’ Ghadiali found that by treating the body with a particular color vibration, one could effectively reintroduce the appropriate biochemical elements into the body; he referred to this as color chemistry, certainly a new field of study. His results as published in the first decade of the twentieth century were advocated by Klotsche in Colour Medicine: color medicine not only can heal the diseased frequency of the body but also can introduce actual chemical elements/vibration into the body in a non-toxic form.”

Light can be used to control biological events with unmatched temporal and spatial precision.

“The initiate is he who possesses the lamp of Trismegistus, the mantle of Apollonius, and the staff of the patriarchs. The lamp of Trismegistus is reason illuminated by science; the mantle of Apollonius is full and complete self-possession, which isolates the sage from blind tendencies; and the staff of the patriarchs is the help of the secret and everlasting forces of nature. The lamp of Trismegistus enlightens present, past and future, lays bare the conscience of men and manifests the inmost recesses of the female heart. The lamp burns with a triple flame, the mantle is thrice-folded and the staff is divided into three parts.” ~Eliphas Levi

I think it is safe to say that when Levi refers to the lamp of Trismegistus (Hermes) as representing “reason illuminated by science,” the science he is referring to is not chemistry or biology, but the spiritual sciences that awaken the spirit and soul and reveal spiritual truth (Gnosis) to us. Materialists, of course, laugh at the idea that anything spiritual could be considered a science, but those same materialistic scientists also tend to refute quantum physics as pseudo-science while the high-tech corporations continue to use it to make the technological wonders we all love to play with.

Levi aids us with understanding what is meant by the “mantle of Apollonius” which is “full and complete self-possession,” when he adds that it isolates the sage from blind tendencies.

Has any of us ever experienced a suspension, or cessation, of breath while performing solar eye techniques?

The above diagram is the basic sequence of postures known as Surya namaskara, or Sun salutation.         

Traditionally, this was practiced by vedic seers just before greeting the morning sun. It is also a component of nadi shodhan pranayama,  which is a yoga centered around alternate nostril breathing and  holding one’s breath.

Practicing nadi shodhan pranayama can produce kundalinic effects and propagate prana, or chi, distribution, yet the crown jewel of this breathing yoga is kevala kumbhaka. Kevala kumbhaka is breath suspension that is separate from inhalation,  exhalation,  or intentional pauses;  it is an unforced removal and cessation of breathing that occurs without discomfort. Once attained, it can crop up naturally and normally now and then. It seems interesting that the Sun salutation postures are integrated in a pranayama practice that can produce natural breath cessation.

As a side note: Clinical studies (see links below) suggest that alternate nostril pranayama promotes:  greater cognitive ability, sustained attention, and a balancing effect on hemispheric brain functioning:
