Raja Choudhury – Opening Your Third Eye

We’ll begin with an introduction to the Third Eye — and explore what the Tantrics and ancient Indians believed it was and how it could be opened and made use of. We’ll correlate these concepts with other ancient cultures, modern neuroscience, the biology of the pineal gland, and the work being done in hallucinogenic entheogens and plant medicines. We’ll explore the various paths to opening the Third Eye, and how they evolved in India using just pure breath, mantras, yantras or sacred geometries, mudras, and intense concentration and awareness.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover what the Tantrics and Yogis believe is the Third Eye and how opening it can transform your life
• See your body as a microcosm for the intelligence of the entire universe and how the Third Eye is a Star Gate to accessing and awakening this intelligence within you
• Discover the biology of the Third Eye in the midbrain and the pineal gland
• Learn how the Third Eye (aka Agya chakra) is part of an elaborate inner cosmology of subtle energy channels called Nadis, energy centers, chakras, or lotuses, and subtle sound, light, and energy systems
• Be given a simple 15-minute meditation and energization exercise to slowly and gently begin to link heaven and earth and open your Third Eye
• Learn your first mantras or sounds that you can practice immediately to see the light within you

The entire Universe is Spanda or a construct of vibrations between consciousness, energy, and matter… between Shiva and Shakti… between light and dark. All energy and matter arise from this field, and there are 36 levels of vibrations or frequencies between Earth and the Universal Light or the singular Source of all consciousness. Raja will show you how to feel these vibratory levels, bring them into your being as prana, and distribute them through your entire subtle Nadi system.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover that the essence of the entire universe is made up of Spanda, as the ancient Tantrics called it — pure energy, frequency, and vibration. (Yes, Tesla was right!)
• Learn how that energy flows through the seen Universe as prana, enters into all matter, and sits waiting as Shakti
• Explore how to bring that prana into your body with a 15-minute energization training
• Discover the magic of the sun and how it can awaken more than just your senses through the process of Tratak
• Map the 36 Tattwas, or vibratory elements, of your being and learn to go from earth to heaven through breath, food, sex, music, creativity, or any other means
• Learn a series of simple observations from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra that can help you bring this energy into your life at any time and raise your consciousness

Before we can learn to navigate our inner space, we must learn to ground ourselves in energy and the earth so that we can return easily from our heady adventures. We must learn to shut up and shut down our lower reptilian brain, and learn to become fearless, control our urges, and get rid of all our bad karma or psychic luggage. We’ll also discover how we sit on the earth, and how our evolution as human beings began at this base and then rose up the spinal cord to develop our neocortex that we’re so reliant on today. By returning to the earth and our lower centers, we’ll learn how to ground ourselves and become fearless, strong, healthy, and in control of all our urges as we prepare to take flight as Sky Walkers.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore your evolutionary nature as a being rising from earth consciousness to universal consciousness
• Discover your reptilian or animal brain and how it controls your life
• Explore your Nadi system — the subtle channels that carry prana and energy through your whole body, especially three in particular: Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna
• Learn the secrets of the 5 Elements and how they relate to our chakras
• Discover the breaths, bandhs (locks), mantras, and mudras of the First Sun, Second Sun, and the lower 4 chakras, and how they prepare us for higher consciousness
• Learn how to surge the energy upwards through Ida, Pingala, and the Sushumna Nadis to open the Third Eye

As we learn to control and work with prana and our Nadis, and control our lower brain, teaching the upper brain (neocortex) to “shut up” becomes just as important as it tends to overanalyze everything and cannot stop chattering. In Tantra, the upper chattering mind is called Chanda, the lower headless body of fear and complexes is called Munda, and we have to become Chamundaya, a form of Kali energy, who comes out of us to destroy them both by cutting their heads off. Then we get some inner quiet and we can begin the process of training ourselves to truly hear, see, and feel our inner world. Our upward journey begins.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand how to shut all your brains down and find inner quiet — in other words, you’ll learn to Shut Up!
• Learn the art of inner listening and discover the Magic Flute inside of you that plays the music of the chakras
• Be initiated in the Hum Sah breath and the art of bringing Cosmic Intelligence into your body from above
• Learn to shut down all sound except AUM and train yourself for inner seeing — single-pointed focus using Tratak and the candle
• Learn the secret of using Jyotis (flames) and sacred Mandalas to part the Avarana veils within and open the gates to Brahma’s Cave
• Be initiated into secret mantras for dissolution of the ego at the throat and the opening of the sky above

As we learn to become still, listen deeply, and see inwards, we begin to discover a complete universe in our midbrain or limbic brain region. The Tantrics called this Brahma’s Cave, and it is always seen as a vast cavernous space inside our head which was home to a beautiful Shiva Linga which we now know represents the pineal gland. When properly navigated and activated, this cave was filled with light and gave us access to a higher Star which came to us as a Goddess or Shakti called Tarini (or Tara, literally meaning Star) that leads to the dimensions above us in the vibrating universe. She provides the gateway to our superconscious higher minds.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the secret mantras or codes to enter Brahma’s Cave and experience the vast Blue Sky and Inner Cosmos that awaits you
• Be initiated into a special breath and mudra called Khechari that will create a circuit between you, earth, and heaven above through Brahma’s Cave
• Be taught the secrets of Soma and Amrit (immortality) and how hacking this Cave will give you access to the elixir of life and eternal bliss
• Understand how to meditate on the Linga inside Brahma’s Cave through focus, breath, a special mantra, and techniques of concentration
• Learn how to see the Star Gate of Tara using the Jyoti Mudra

As long as we are in the body, the Tantrics always described the intelligence that controlled everything in the body or energy or matter as Shakti — the sacred feminine energy of desire, realization, and dissolution. Our entire body is made up of Shaktis which are all essential subtle energies or powers that are actually one but take on multiple aspects or forms in our bodies and the cosmos. If we learn to turn on a switch inside or hack their powers, something magical turns on in the astral dimension, and then something instantly turns on at the causal or Source level. That means that learning to wake up Shaktis in our bodies will align us to cosmos. Raja will guide us through the Shaktis and introduce you to Kundalini and the Devis that make the journey to open the Third Eye even more delightful. You will meet Shyama (The Shakti of the Heart), Varahi (the Goddess of the Third Eye), and Lalitha Tripura Sundari (the Goddess of the Three Cities) who sits on the Thousand Petals of the Crown chakra.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover the meanings and stories behind Shyama, Varahi, and Lalitha Tripura Sundari from the ancient scriptures of Dattatreya and Parashurama
• Learn ways in which you can please these energies to get your sixth sense powers, open your Third Eye, and find the secret to bliss, creativity, abundance, and immortality
• Learn how to meditate on them and the secret Yantras or symbols that allow us access to their powers
• Be initiated into the sacred mantras of the three Shaktis to help you awaken everything

In order for us to truly develop mastery over our Third Eye for manifestation, intuition, clairvoyance, clairsentience, creativity, power, and bliss, we have to learn how to become completely still, experience real silence, and enter the domain of the Void — Shunya, Samadhi, or Bhairav. This fourth state of consciousness where we blur into a new reality is called the Turiya state. Through his studies of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, the seminal Tantric teachings on the dance of Shiva and Shakti in Spanda, Raja will teach you how to still the mind into a state of Samyama so that you can begin to manifest and visualize new realities. We’ll discover that the Void is not scary or empty at all but is a blissful, throbbing, vibrating state full of love and happiness from which all things come into being.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand how to experience the Void and to turn on that state of consciousness at any time of the day, even while doing your normal activities
• Explore how to step into the Void and return to the world like a magician between 2 breaths
• Learn how to still reality so you can redesign it from the Void
• Be introduced to the Vajra — the lightning path to Third Eye awakening — and how it can bring vast intelligence into your life
• Realize that the Void is the source of all intelligence and wisdom — and that meditating on it through the Third Eye brings about real Magic
• Be given 7 meditations that will change your life

One of the secret paths to working with your Third Eye is to create a sacred place that is completely your own private inner space, from where you can travel to multiverses and higher Turiya consciousness and bring back vast intelligence and wisdom to this domain. You become an alchemist who can traverse two worlds and join the shamans and seers before you that have transformed the world in their own ways. One of the greatest alchemists, magicians (wizard) and Tantrics like Abhinav Gupta, Gorakshanath, Hermes Trismegistus, and Merlin, was the Buddhist Tantric, Padmasambhava, better known as Guru Rinpoche, who was the founding figure of Buddhism in Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan. His monasteries of the Rinpoche sect are the most beautiful places for meditation and self-realization. Real gateways to the Void. Raja will teach you how to create your own monastery or virtual reality cave where you can download vast intelligence from the collective consciousness and then bring it into the world and make magic in people’s lives.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn deep techniques of relaxation, slowing down the breath, and developing tranquil silence and equanimity through the 3 stages of AUM and immersion in the White Cloud
• Be taken on a guided meditation by Raja in creating your own sacred garden, sacred White Monastery, and gateway to opening the door through your Third Eye to the visionary states
• Discover your inner guide or angel, learn how to communicate with them, and how to let them guide you to the answers you seek
• Learn to see your inner screen, which will show you answers to all your questions
• Learn how to see and then design any reality you wish and how that manifests in the world through the heart and surrender

By now you have discovered many ways to open your Third Eye and bring information and intuition into your life. But how do you learn to use this wisdom and to manifest the magic in your life without having your ego and the chattering mind Chanda take over once again? In Tantra, the secret is the complete surrender to the Heart Center, the Hridaya, the Anahata, the home of your Jeev Atman, your true Self. The Soul. No me. Everything. By bringing your visions down to your heart and surrendering them to the Universe, you acknowledge that you are not in control but will willingly become a channel for the Universal Energy to come into this world. Raja will teach you sacred Kaula Tantra meditations and mantras that enable you to take all your visions and dreams and turn them into reality through the heart.

In this module, you’ll:

• Be taught to experience the Sacred Pillar of Light, Full Heart Awakening, the White Lotus, the White Pearl, and the Golden Linga
• Learn how to bring your visions and desires from the Third Eye down to the heart and surrender them there
• Be taught how to chant SHREEM and the sacred mantra of Maha Lakshmi or Kamala as magical incantations
• Learn how to see your vision already fulfilled and leave it to the Shakti energies to bring alive
• Learn how to live between the body, the heavens, the Third Eye, and the heart
• Go silent and experience complete and total bliss; all desires will seem meaningless when that comes, and everything will begin to flow in perfection!

In this illuminating video, Raja takes you through the full 30-minute Kundalini Shakti Meditation for opening your Third Eye in one sitting, which you can use as a daily practice to help you refine the teachings presented in this course. You’ll receive it upon completion of the course.

This documentary by Raja Choudhury for Indian Public Diplomacy explores the origin, mythology, and purpose of yoga through the eyes of scholars, experts, and teachers who have spent years studying and practicing it devotedly.

Drawing on extremely valuable insight from Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar as well as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, this film casts light on the discipline, philosophy, culture, and spirituality of yoga from a native perspective that succeeds at being objective, educational, and enlightening, all at the same time.

In this audio dialogue with David Ingber, Kabbalah scholar and professor Daniel Matt shares his perspective on harmonizing science and Kabbalah. Daniel Matt is gifted at describing in understandable terms the parallels between science and mysticism and how they can together enrich our spiritual awareness and help us recover a sense of wonder and find our place in the universe. As Matt has written in God & the Big Bang: Discovering Harmony Between Science & Spirituality, “God is not somewhere else, hidden from us. God is right here hidden from us.”

Named by Newsweek as one of 2013’s top 50 most influential rabbis in the United States as well as by The Forward as one of the 50 most newsworthy and notable Jews in America, Rabbi David Ingber promotes a renewed Jewish mysticism that integrates meditative mindfulness and physical awareness into mainstream, post-modern Judaism. A major 21st-century Jewish thinker and educator, his rich perspective, open heart and mind, and full-bodied approach to Jewish learning has brought him to speak throughout the United States and worldwide throughout Canada, Europe, and Israel.

Daniel Chanan Matt is a Kabbalah scholar and professor at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He received his PhD from Brandeis University and taught at Stanford University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Matt is best known for his work translating the book of Zohar into English. By 2016, 10 volumes of the 12-volume set had been completed.

Quantum Jumping is the most unique concept in a hundred years. Now you can be whatever you can imagine yourself to be. All you need do is to quantum jump. This book will show you how. The basic concept of Quantum Jumping is you can become anyone you can imagine; endowed with any talent, any skill. Here you will learn about the infinity of universes. There’s a twin self, of yours, in one of those universes in every situation imaginable. There are twin selves of yours who are kings and queens, selves who are great artists and musicians; there are also selves who are homeless; there are selves that are involved in situations that are beyond your imagining. This is a basic quantum physics concept that many scientists accept; they do not however tell you how to reach these other selves, in those other universes. With a quantum jump you can reach that twin self and bring back to this reality the energy, or rhythm of that self.

Burt Goldman is one of those lucky people who discovered a secret early in life. When he was just 19, he was stationed in Korea. This is where he met powerful Korean mystic Mr. Kwan Jung and experienced mysticism for the very first time and learned about Qi, or energy, and Li, the control of this energy. Since then, Burt has spent over 50 years cultivating his knowledge and studying with some of the world’s greatest spiritual teachers — so he can teach it to you and thousands of others around the globe. At his peak, he conducted seminars for Heads of States, European royalty and amassed audiences numbering in the hundreds.
