While so many competing agendas vie for our attention, it is more important than ever that we have the capacity to trust our intuition and our own experience to begin making the most informed and best decisions for our own lives. In short, we must begin trusting our own personal experience over what we are being told. Yogis forewarned of these times years ago when they stated with amazing prescience, “The old Piscean Age was dominated by machines and hierarchies. The new Aquarian Age is ruled by awareness, information and energy. In the Aquarian Age there are no secrets. Now every persona is under audit. Each action can be tracked regardless of appearances. Every monetary exchange, statement, and behavior leaves a trail.”
Enter the Self-Sensory Human. The human mind processes more information in one day than people had to process during an entire lifetime in the 1700s. People will be “getting empty, more perturbed, not able to bear enough, not having much tolerance, and very argumentative.” If we are not disciplined, we will be unable to handle the intense energy of these times. Many of us are already experiencing this in our daily lives at this very moment.
In response to these demands, humans are beginning to evolve a sensory system that allows them to live as intuitive, multi-faceted beings. As we develop a subtle sensitivity to our being, we will experience a sense of completeness within ourselves and the energy that we once used to compensate for our perceived limitations and to get validation from outside, will be available to attract what we need to make our unique contribution to the world. As we establish a sense of our own identity, our destiny will be revealed to us. We can cultivate our sensory system by consciously connecting to our breath, strengthening our nervous system, activating our glandular system, balancing our emotional energies, and channeling our mental energy to intuitive awareness.
Continuing to live as we have in the past is no longer an option. Our minds simply aren’t equipped to handle the amount of information that we now have to process. More and more people will struggle, and many will reach a point where they crack under the intense pressure of the times.
Most of us are feeling this now although many are not able to quantify exactly what is happening. Our personal experiences will become our barometer for making decisions in the future while what we are being “told” will take a backseat to experiential living. In order to activate our self-sensory system, it is necessary to take the required steps to maximize the potential of our brains and hone our master glands to work at their fullest capacity.
One of the only ways to do this is through practiced meditation and breathing. We are alive because of the breath of life. When we use the breath of life in a slow potency it can heal us, our minds, and brighten our souls. When we breathe in slowly, consciously, hold it consciously, and let it go consciously and slowly we activate what is called in yogic circles as The Holy Trinity of Glands (hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands). When we get into that rhythm and control it ourselves it can heal all, because it’s the breath of life, which is the spirit in us, the soul in us, which is actually our truest essence. We become truly alive in spirit.
The only way to do this, however, is through a committed daily practice where we harness the breath consciously each day before starting our day. It is no different than working out in a gym; we must lift weights in order to gain our strength. We must breathe consciously each morning in order to master our breath. There simply is no other option. Breathing and meditation will become as necessary a part of our daily routine as brushing our teeth each morning. We would never consider leaving the house before brushing our teeth and soon breathing and meditation will join this pantheon of necessary daily habits.
Some pranayama can be practiced in as little as three minutes (although longer is surely even more effective). We can all start slowly and work our way up as we gain mastery over our breath. Again, this is no different than working out in a gym—we start by lifting five-pound dumbbells and before we know it, we are lifting 20-pound dumbbells. It takes a little bit of effort on our part however the benefits are well worth the time and the effort.
We have arrived in the age of the self-sensory human. We must learn to trust our own inner voice over the many opposing voices that try to sway us from our own personal truth. It is incumbent that we become strong in our own beliefs even in the face of competing agendas and much noisy distraction. Our personal truth matters, and it is important that we live our truth. Our soul requires that we do in order to fulfill our greatest destinies.
We can do this through our breath—one breath at a time. Our breath is our great liberator to freedom. Breathe and know that you are One With God. There is nothing else to remember.
Sat Nam and stay eternally blessed on your journey.
