Here is another website that deals with sun gazing
http://www.sungazing.com/

Mason Dwinell has completed the sun gazing practice and gives some tips on his website. Too bad I did not come across this website before I started sun gazing. 

He urges to be very cautious when practicing sun gazing. He states, for instance, that one should start sun gazing within 10 min. after the sunrise or before the sunset. He also suggests to increase the sun gazing time by only 5 sec. at first.

The Sun has been very active lately, and one indeed should take great care to be gentle on one’s eyes. I would actually strongly suggest, even to those who have no eye problems, to start first with the closed eye sun gazing as described above, in the previous post. We live in very sheltered environments, many of us eating processed and unnatural foods. Our eyes are not the strongest, even when relatively healthy. There is absolutely no need to hurt your eyes. And there is absolutely no need to rush.

Hello Lyes,

Yes, it is “natural” to think. And this ability is given to us by God. What God also gave us is a free choice. So we are free to decide what we want to think about.

Thoughts we hold “naturally” in our mind might have quite “unnatural” origins. From our birth on we are programmed to think and feel a certain way by our family, the society, the TV, our friends, the events that happen in our world, and by our own psychological makeup that is also determined by those factors just mentioned. So if one comes from an abusive family, one tends to hold on to certain thoughts more naturally than someone who came from a loving environment. The thoughts are like trains running in the grooves – train rails. They became a habit, so one tends to have a recurring pattern of thoughts. It is sometimes very difficult to see beyond those patterns in which one is being caught. And I would not really call those patterns “natural”, since one can quite “naturally” think about murders and other such atrocities.

We are creatures of habits and also of habitual thoughts. There might be a release when thinking a thought to the utmost and experiencing the feeling associated with that thought to the outmost as well. This is what the modern psychoanalysis is based on. But this sometimes takes years in a psychoanalyst’s office and is also expansive. It’s remarkable that you can do it on your own and rather quickly.

Yet, there still might be a shortcut: just choosing to think differently, since it is a God’s most natural gift to us – a free will – to think whatever we determine we want to think about. So why not consciously try and create positive vibrations? Be like a train dispatcher who switches the rails and makes the train-thoughts run in a new direction.

It is easy to confuse thoughts with feelings. Some thoughts are completely neutral and do not create any feelings as such. Others lead to feelings being felt. Fear is not a thought but a feeling. You can make yourself think of fear and then feel it. Or you can feel fear and than begin thinking of it. You can even discover where that fear (or worry) came from and why it has such a hold on you.

But you might choose to make a total overhaul of all your thinking and feeling patters. The choice is entirely yours, and is given to you by God.

Hello Kailaurius,

I’d be very cautious about sun gazing outside the safe times (within one hour of sunrise or sunset). You might not always get the precise UV level reading. My advice to you would be to walk or drive to some spot where you can sun gaze during safe times.

Recently, the one and only time I sun gazed starting 10 min. before the safe zone had began (70 min. before the sunset), the experience was a bit too much for my eyes. The website indicated the UV level was 1, so I decided to to take a chance it because the sun was heading into a big cloud. But that UV reading might have been taken before, when the sun was also behind the cloud. Prior to that, I had always sun gazed when the website indicated that the UV level was 0. Moreover, since it was a cool day I felt no cheek burning, which is supposed to be a sign one is overdoing it.

I wrote to Mr. Manek and he said I should drink sun-charged water and put it into my eyes several times per day. Also, he said I should only do closed eye sun gazing, and only during safe times, starting with 1 min if it feels comfortable. If not, some shorter time than 1 min. Then I should build it up slowly to 10 min. of sun gazing with closed eyes. And then sun gaze for 10 min. with closed eyes for the next 2 months during safe times. After that I could begin to sun gaze with open eyes (that would be next summer, I gather). He said, I will have to start again from the very beginning, from 10 sec. on, and he told me not to rush.  He also calls the sun gazing with closed eyes “warming the closed eyes in safe times.”

Mr. Manek also said that those who have normal healthy eyes can do open eye sun gazing from the start. But those with any eye problems have to do first closed eye sun gazing, as described above, because it strengthens eye muscles and blood circulation of the eye and improves vision. He mentioned that he was saying this from his own experience.

Basically, I made 2 mistakes:

-   Sun gazing outside of the safe zone and trusting implicitly the website’s UV indication.
-   Standing on the grass. One should never stand on the grass while sun gazing, only on bare earth, mud, or sand, but not solid rock.

I find it hard to organize the sun gazing in a big city, even to find a spot where to sun gaze (it is uncomfortable to have cars zooming by and people walking close to you), or to have a spot to sun-charge the water (no private backyard or balcony, and windows shaded by vegetation and architecture).

To sun charge the water Mr. Manek said to use a clear (no color) glass container and place it under sun rays for several hours. He said minimum 4 hours are required for water to be sun charged in the summer and the whole day in the winter. He also said that if one does not have space outside then the bottle can be placed inside the house near a glass window through which sun light comes and falls on the water container.

Hello Hina,

This would make a great cinematographic image if it were somebody like, let’s say, Paris Hilton standing there in a statuesque pose, while some guy (poor devil) was working hard for her.

But consider, please, that working together with a man, rather than just making him work for you, could be a source of great joy and pleasure, and would lead to a much more real relationship.

It is important to be authentic in life, and to do things (at least the most important ones) from one’s true core. Taking a pose, or posing as such, might lead to everything crumbling down at some point.

Of course there is a place for play, make-believe, and just pure fun, but in most important matters like an intimate relationship, it is the best to act from a perspective of being a “wind under each other's wings.”

Hello Lyes,
 
Adrian says in his book that the “sinking feeling” is the guidance from the Higher Self.  In my opinion, the Higher Self is not afraid as such. It simply communicates to us, to our physical selves. And for us to get the message at the level of our physical bodies, this message is expressed as a sensation called a sinking feeling.

I think the internal work you are doing - going through self-examination and trying to understand how feelings, sensations, and thoughts arise inside you - is a very important process. Your questioning of how it works is commendable.

Our spiritual journey is a very personal thing. We might encounter sensations, situations, and understandings that might be very unique to us, because of who we are, or because of the level of our progress in our quest of becoming truly spiritual beings.

I sometimes get a sinking feeling not only as an expression of fear, but also that of a great disappointment. The coloring is a bit different though (I think).

Maybe the fact that the fractions of you are battling between themselves is some sort of a disappointment or even causes drainage of energy within you, and this is why you get a sinking sensation.

I am not sure about fear being the confrontation with the Higher Self. I would not think so, really. But your experience might be different from mine. It would be quite self-defeating to be confronting your Higher Self, would not it? Perhaps fear is simply the result of confronting what we consciously, or subconsciously perceive as threatening.

Here is a great quotation:

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
Marie Curie

Hello Hina,

Your positive attitude is contagious!

 The COMPLETE flower is an interdimensional symbol,a portal,a link back to the universal consciousness. The universal consciousness we were all part of before we entered this material world. The original flower is incomplete because it is only the first layer of three. The complete flower has the other two layers added,making it three dimensional. If you relax and let your eyes go out of focus,the flower will open. We do not see with our eyes,we see THROUGH our eyes. Let your mind focus,dont fight it! Its not a known  science,but if you let it happen,you will be supprised by what appears. Love and light 2all:-)X      (Use the hand drawn flower)  

Hello Andymonk,

It is great that the Flower of Life opens to you, and “talks” to you. You found a perfect trigger for yourself to get connected to the universal consciousness. You discovered your best angle of the prism (that Questioner so shrewdly described above) to peek into the life’s mysteries. We are all searching for the same path to the Truth, but peer through the same prism from different angles due to our differences.

I believe ,the COMPLETE ancient flower of life is a window into the hidden continuous pattern of creation. :-)X

Hello Andymonk,

For those interested about Flower of Life, check it out in Wikipedia

Here is a quote from Wikipedia:

“Sacred geometry can be described as a belief system attributing a religious or cultural value to many of the fundamental forms of space and time. According to this belief system, the basic patterns of existence are perceived as sacred because in contemplating them one is contemplating the origin of all things. By studying the nature of these forms and their relationship to each other, one may seek to gain insight into the scientific, philosophical, psychological, aesthetic and mystical laws of the universe.“

This sound very much like contemplating a Mandala.

Maybe the nature of the symbols is to make us contemplate about things that are beyond the everyday existence. Or maybe people just simply like some mystery…    Or maybe it makes them feel good that they have some knowledge that others don’t have.

A lot of religious, occult, and secret organizations use various symbols. It must give them a sense of power, of being important, of having some “higher” knowledge that others don’t have. It also gives them a sense of belonging together, the same as a national flag and a hymn does for a country.

Hello Questioner,

That was a great answer to my question! 
And I do like the saying on your office wall:

"While we know we have not answered all of your questions, we feel quite confident that we have led you to ask more important questions on a much higher level!"

Hello Questioner,

You posted some great questions above!     

Your signature begins “Questions lead us to Answers,…” But what if a question does not lead to an answer

At  the moment  my computer has no facility of u tube but I desire to upgrade my computer soon.
So then I would be able to see the interview as you have suggested.

Hello Hina,

The reason why you have problems seeing videos on YouTube might not be only the age of your computer, but also the speed of your internet connection. That might be the case with a dial-up connection. The best to view those videos is with a high-speed internet (broadband) connection. What they call “light” connection would also create a bit of a problem. The video would come up in short segments and then stop. With a “light” it is the best just to let the video load completely first, which might take as long as the length of the video itself or even longer, and then go to the beginning of the video and watch it quite comfortably.

How do you know that you don't do this already??  I don't know about you, but in cases when I am driving my car, for instance, it sometimes happens that I find myself having arrived at a certain point without any recollection of having done so.  I do not remember encountering any other cars, stopping at any traffic signs or signals, or having traveled any distance at all.

I wonder if I am actually "out of my body" when this occurs which would explain my lack of awareness of my physical body's actions.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, do you think that it could be a waking OBE?

Hello Questioner,

Your experience with driving a car might be something else than OBE. If you are driving on a familiar route, your driving is automatic, you no longer have to think about it. It is the same as with touch typing. A touch typist would not really know at the end of the page how exactly it was typed since he followed consciously only the words he had to type and not the typing process itself.

Being a Questionner, you would most certainly contemplate intensely some question in your head  while driving, and be fully conscious only of that, and so you might miss entirely the driving process. 

Hello Hina,

Vegan means vegetarian without animal products. Vegans do not use any milk products. Smoothie is a blended drink of a very smooth and thick consistency.

The green smoothies are made by using leafy green vegetables. Whole leaves are put into a blender, adding fresh fruit or several fruit of your choice and some water. The best smooth result is achieved with powerful blenders like Vita-Max or Blendtec, but those are quite expensive blenders. One can get an acceptable result with a small blender called Magic Bullet. It makes small portions. Some people use ordinary blenders, but the leafy pulp is not broken down that good. One can start by experimenting with a blender that one already has, choosing the maximum highest setting, and letting it blend for quite a while. If your blender is not too powerful, choose very soft leaves, like green salad, watercress or even parsley when it is still young. One can also use young dandelion leaves.
