It is actually the root of the nose - overtly between the eyes. But this is still less than half of the required instruction. It is important to achieve the level of consciousness appropriate to the frequencies of the energy anchor being targeted.

So the out-breath (Spirit) from The Source of All becomes dark and separate, forming intelligences and universes and occasionally humans. The Source learns from the separated experience and breathes inwards the manifestations so that they become lighter until Existence ceases. Thus there is mahapralaya until the Source wants more experience. The human has a miniature cycle of cosmic out-breath and in-breath that we see as incarnation and death - with the same objective of experiential learning. The out-breath and in-breath are represented in the East as yin-yang and in the Kabbalah as the Tzimtzum - with various theological misconstructions .

So if I want extra internal light I must look for a state other than enlightenment. Any hints?

So no extra light with enlightenment

One of the benefits of ancient forms of Freemasonry was that the candidate was driven out of the body and "saw the sun at midnight" and met the "gods infernal" and "gods celestial". The newly raised initiate had no fear of death, having been already taken around the solar system and into the underworld.

An interesting proposition. Obviously there are qualifications to do with the rights of other beings, often of much greater import than ourselves. A friend once told me that a third degree initiate (first stage enlightenment) could (sometimes?) decide what would happen but not how. At a further stage of enlightenment the initiate was entitled to decide how it should happen. If true, this suggests that there are successive layers of functionality of divine will in the enlightened human. What are the constraints on the personal will of a child in "the terrible twos"? Hopefully quite a few. The personal will, while often destructive in its initial phase, forces the human to get its act together, control its bodies and environment to ensure survival.

Or her Quite so

As you might expect, most explanations are a simplification. Brahma is the allegory attached to the Intelligence stream of The Source of All. There is also a Love stream - Vishnu and an Intent stream - Shiva In the human there is an aspect of Intelligence that anchors in layers (sub-planes) across the head - more to the front. The back of the skull is used for Atma. Thus the bottom of the nose is about the middle of where the personality (lower) mental energies are anchored - depending upon the quality of the human. Intelligence has a lot more to accomplish in the human than mental processes.

No doubt you have read of cases of surgery where the human died - no brain activity - was resuscitated and recounted all the details of what was being done while there was no brain activity. Thus there was mind without brain. In one case I was on a Skype call and the other party thought I had hung up when she answered another call. She said to her friend: I don't know what it is, but when I am talking to him I can see so much more. When I was speaking to her, I was sharing my light body so she had improved vision etc As you may know, the word convince comes from the French convaincre. One of its meanings is to conquer. Mostly I prefer not to be convinced.

Such topics are outside mainstream (modern?) Daoist teachings. Sometimes UFOs show by accident. For example after WW2 quite a few UFOs crashed when they ran into high intensity radar beams. You may recall from Sumerian writings that the Anunnaki went on strike and one of the results was the breeding of a slave race using Anunnaki genetics crossed with that of a hominid already on the planet. Similar genetic programs still exist for other reasons. There also management programs in which you may be a participant. Some participants have booby traps - e.g. a program: if you remember this you will starve to death I knew one such. She was skeletal when I met her - as her digestive system had quit. It is important to find one's spiritual source to escape such programs Spheres of light often appear in photos where they are called orbs. Typically they are manifestations of energy bodies of non-physical entities. I have not detected any adverse spheres of light, but I always test incoming entities no matter how pleasing their light. It is common that some entities produce a tapping/knocking sound on approach. Indeed patterns of stamps and knocks are used by various human groups to attract/alert spirits. Perhaps the clanking was more a knocking on the vertical stream of light that enters your head - with some resonance in the stream. Hex numbers. Various contactees have had streams of numbers given to them. Some of the crop circles contain binary code. The stream of Light from On High passes through the head making a consciousness anchor in the middle of the head. (In some cases of autism the brain is unsuited so that anchor moves to the back of the heart where it is useless) The stream of Light anchors in the heart - looking like a flame. The stream provides life force - and also divine intent that may be detected by a refined recipient. Occasionally a visitor in human form has a second or third stream - perhaps producing an irregular heartbeat. The additional streams are from other star systems or universes. Strong pleasure in the heart is usually a good sign particularly if the attention is on the Light Adverse entities, however, can induce physical pleasure/pain to manage their human assets. Always test!

I was trained in science: Observation, deduction, hypothesis, experiment, peer review. It is possible to apply these principles to all aspects of life including spiritual development and inner planes activities. I remember many years ago, I was living in a spiritual community that focused on communion with Nature. At that time I was engaging in mental conversations with one or more entities. So there was a woman in the community who was right into space brothers who had a very nice photo of a Haunebu on her wall. I was there to fix a problem that she had. Her nylon nightdress kept creeping up while she slept. I found that the phase and neutral wires were reversed for the house and that the earth wire was not connected. She had only simple devices and it did not stop them running. The electrical problems seemed to me to be highly symbolic - as if she were not properly connected to the higher power source. So I asked the voice(s) in my head what was going on. They said that she did not really belong to the community. I said: Interesting! Prove it! And they said, you will observe that there are no plants up against her house, despite it being a nature-based community. So I looked, and out of perhaps 50 buildings in the community, hers was the only one without plants against the dwelling. This seems an important principle to me. There must always be an experiment to test a proposition.

In one tradition, consciousness requires a physical brain, while awareness requires a light body. Thus we often become aware of some thing or energy long before there is a corresponding thought anchored in the brain. Then we realize that the sound (for example) had actually been occurring for some time before we became conscious of it. Being self-conscious is a higher form of consciousness. For example some cats can recognize themselves in a mirror. The awareness of dreams often fades immediately upon wakening as the brain consciousness was not involved in the out-of-body dream process. Hypnosis or meditation can sometimes allow the particular dream to be re-entered and continued under conscious control since the brain is still engaged.

I am more into experiments than traditions

OK

It may be of use to consider after the 3 stages of enlightenment for the human, there are supposed to be 7 spiritual paths beyond the planet. Some humans transfer to the devic kingdom in which there are many more layers of unfoldment. Others may pass via the Flaming Star.

Proof indeed. Thus is there nothing to which a human can aspire?

I recall my younger son, at age 9 months would often have erections. I am not sure he was thinking about sex. Perhaps there is more biological energy in the young. Certainly old men often have trouble having erections. but then, old women often lose interest in sex so it works out for those women. As we know: energy follows thought. It also follows emotion. My own view is that relationship, internal and external, is more important than energy.

I like to think that the enlightened human has some functionality - as if some part of divine will has been delegated. On the other hand there is supposed to be very good TV in heaven

Substance from the Latin Substare - to stand under. So Jing stands under. Time for more subtle thought?

There are many frequency bands in the life force that enters the human. The frequency bands can form stable resonances in particular sub-systems of the human. This can be thought of as storage. Being part of the life force, there is intelligence implicit in each stable resonance. It is possible for the human to form constructive or destructive relationships with the resonant intelligences. Training may be either.

The looking part is my own experience. A close friend had a mother with dementia for perhaps a decade. One day we asked her death to take her. She was gone in a week. Just coincidence I suppose.

In the Castaneda writings we are told that our death intelligence stands behind our left shoulder. When we learn how to see our death entity, we can observe whether he is watching us closely or looking afar. If watching closely we may wish to be particularly careful in our physical life. The death being is not averse to being influenced. Kicking his shins can work in some situations. The death being is the bated in-breath that returns the human to its source. The Tzimtzum relates.

There are 3 major stages of enlightenment for humans: - purified control of higher mind and hence on-going contact with the soul - purified control of the heart and hence direct perception without intervening thought - purified control of the will (atma) and hence transparency to the localized intent of divinity But who among us can measure/test such states?

Over the decades God has repeatedly receded in my perception. God in the church building, in the planet, solar system, galaxy, cluster of universes, before the pralaya.... The more I see, the more there is to see. The demarcation between Unreal and Real keeps moving - and I move with it. When I look in a mirror, I see duality. When the mirror is gone, where is the duality? Both states are useful to me.

I have become quite wary of the one size fits all approach to human development and health. For example, before recommending any cold treatments I would be looking at kidney energy levels, heart and blood energies and any emotional grief carried in the lungs.
