Means: O, Riding the Divine Thunderbolt, Glory This mantra is spoken in an attitude of letting got, yet of encouraging the feeling of power from within. While we relax our every muscle, we focus on a peaceful yet powerful whirling power. It is not only a stream. It is everywhere, in movement.

This force would seem to take us by force if it was not that we allow it to grab us from within and flow thru us, as us. We ride the power of the. The Glory mentioned here is used to point out the glorious light of creation, not to nourish an egotistical feeling of glory. While in this process, do not actually try to operate a specific form of manifestation. Let yourself develop a relationship with this universal force.

Later on, we will learn more about the power of manifestation, but for now, we must concentrate at developing the tools that we will use to influence the process of manifestation, eventually to provoke it. Until then, let yourself bathe in this happy turmoil of energetic life.

Healing and Rectification From the point of view of the Spirit, there is only perfection in the experience of life. This perfection flows down into the human, one plane of existence after the other. The light of perfection flows down into the soul, then the multiple levels of consciousness, the mind, the emotional body, the ethereal or willpower body, then into the physical body.

When the light passes thru our human mind, it is tainted with the thoughts we have. When it goes thru our emotional body, it is tainted with our emotions. Same for the willpower body, it will be weaker if we are lazy or afraid; if we lack willpower. The light then becomes manifest in our body, taking the shape we have given it when it flowed down into our perceptible reality. For this perfect light of creation to flow freely from the Spirit to the human body, every plane of existence must allow its passage.

The cleaner and clearer the passage from Spirit to body, the quicker the manifestation of the thought and emotions will be. This process is the major cause of our bad luck, and the reason why we are so much responsible for what we manifest, whether we are aware of it or not; whether we like it or not.

Our mental and emotional attitude is more and more crucial as we develop our power of manifestation, since it will manifest in our lives what we think and feel. Yet, this wonderful blessed mechanism of manifestation is also the process thru which we can heal ourselves, and eventually others.

By rectifying our attitude towards life, by making our mind oriented positively, and our emotions free of pressure and judgment, we become available to manifest what we consciously desire.

By men- 67 -. The practice of SHA progressively develops our ability to flow with this wonderful creative light. It releases our egos desire to control everything, leaving more space for us to commune with the light of creation, and to participate in conscious manifestation. The first manifestation of developing SHA will be the rectification of our body. This process will be progressive and can take quite a while to become apparent.

It is not immediately miraculous-like. It can take quite a few years to accelerate the natural healing process up to a point where we can actually call it regeneration. However, right from the start, it will make every healing process faster. It is a natural rectification of the human self operated by the Spirit into our manifested experience. This process of rectification is not yet the full power of manifestation, but it is the preparation for such a power to take place consciously.

It is from the point of view of the Spirit that we create. From the point of view of the human, we can only transform. Yet, this transformation can become quite efficient, since all that is done with the Spirit is done with great power and efficiency. We do have karmas or lessons, judgments we hold tight to. These hinder the processes of rectification and manifestation. While we remain unaware or willingly unconscious of these inner battles, they sporadically manifest in the form of events, hopefully to trigger the expansion of our consciousness so that we may release the judgment we hold, and learn the lesson.

These lessons will manifest at many level of experience, in the form of physical harm, - 68 -. As we become aware of these judgments, we can start selecting at which level of experience we prefer to assume these karmic lessons.

Thus, when our body becomes sick, we can refuse the lesson and fight against it, or we can thank the body to assume this disease, so that other troubling events may not manifest in other ways. As long as the body can heal itself, some prefer to be sick rather than to have a bigger accident, or to face other life challenges.

This being said, the quicker you will acknowledge the truth behind the manifestation of your lessons, the faster you will heal or rectify the situation. The goal is still to become a master of your life and remove the victim stance your human ego so desires to keep. Emotional pain, wounds and illnesses remain the manifestation of a poor mental attitude, emotional flaw or weakness of our will to live.

The more you will amplify the flow of creative light from the Spirit to your human experience, the more these flaws will manifest, in the all-expansive goal to make your life better, by relieving you of your karmic weight.

If you start using tools of power but dont clean up yourself as your consciousness expands, you will simply manifest more and more lessons to clean up until you are buried under them. At which point the Spirit will be clogged again behind the clouds of your hellish existence and wait for you to awaken again. This is not welcome in the attitude of any spiritual seeker.

Keep a positive attitude, and use the tools you have to make your life better, by becoming responsible of what you manifest and using your new power to rectify yourself where you need to.

If we were to reveal the most powerful techniques to the new seeker, without giving them the tools to process their - 69 -. This is the main reason why the spiritual concepts thought in Kuji-In are to be instructed progressively in a wait to permit the student to absorb them each at their own rhythm. The more you work on yourself, the more your healing power will develop, for you and others.

While you cannot force this kind of personal growth on others, you can use it on yourself. The more enlighten you become, the more you will be able to shed this healing light around you, either willingly directing it, or nourishing it as a natural aura of healing around you.

It is not yours to decide when other people have to face their demons. Do not burden others with personal growth if they dont wish it. Your healing assistance will help them at the level at which they are ready to receive it. It is for you to face your own demons so you can become a greater healer. Although some kind of personal growth will be beneficial in any healing process, others mostly need your compassionate love. In the advanced book, the application of healing was explained.

Do not hesitate to revise this information so that you can gain a better understanding of the visualization to hold in mind while you focus your attention on a healing process. Remember that the practice of SHA is not meant to heal, but to develop the healing ability. Once the healing ability is developed enough, you can use it to assist in the natural healing process of wounds and ailments. The moment we encourage difference, we are not allowing ourselves to be unconditional.

Yet, it is necessary to make differences, out of wise discernment, to manifest and experience a wonderful human life. As you accept in your human conception of life, that everything is bind from a spiritual point of view, your consciousness of everything will develop, and this will become perceptible in the form of a heightened intuition. At this point, we will study the Tao of Kindness. In kindness, like in everything else, there is a light side and a dark side.

Who would have guessed there is a bad side to kindness? Some may start to think about its different harmful manifestations, like when one is too kind and gives away everything even when hindering himself. But this is not the actual source of the dark kindness, only a result of it. The Tao of Kindness does not refer to the perceptible manifestations kindness, but to the original intentions behind it.

Most kind people develop kindness out of a desire to be loved, rather than from a desire to love. The kindness in itself remains a blessing and its manifestations are usually beneficial. Yet, what happens when someone is afraid to be pushed away then suddenly discover he is powerful and filled with self-trust?

If the feeling of self-trust and power overwhelms such a person, maybe their might be no more motivations to remain so kind. This process actually happens to absolutely all of us, without exception. Until we discover the beauty of kindness out of a desire to love others, the only motivation we have to be kind is from a point of view of a lack of love, thus our kindness disappears the moment we start trusting ourselves. We must not judge the kindness since it is a blessed action, whatever the intention motivating it.

We must not speak of such a process to those who did not discover their own self-trust, as it would simply weaken their kindness. We simply must be aware of such a Tao, and recognize ourselves when we become subject to these changes of behavior. It is important to need to be loved. It is important to feel loved by others as long as we are in this state of experience. This need to be love will not go away until we attain a great level of enlightenment, thus it must not be judged.

We are encouraged to accept ourselves at the level of evolution we are, and to progress in ways to become better persons. Knowing about the Tao of Kindness is never a reason to underestimate kindness or to depreciate it. You simply must remain humble enough to recognize yourself each time a new aspect of you does not feel the need for kindness anymore, so you can replace the obsolete motivation for one of a higher level, which would be the desire to love unconditionally.

Kindness, whatever its motivation, out of love or lack of love, will never be a good reason to deprive yourself of your own integrity. Kindness is not a tool of self-destruction. It must remain free; free of charge and free of bounds.

Kindness beyond self-preservation is only done out of a lack of self-love. From another point of view, kindness is not kindness if it requires an exchange.

Although - 72 -. Kindness is not a negotiation, and is not negotiable. You do not have to be kind if you do not wish to. You must respect yourself in this. In time, you will be faced with life challenges that will teach you the importance of kindness out of your own good will. Kindness must not be forced upon your natural behavior. Give yourself all the time you wish to notice how dark your life can become without free kindness as a loving tool. Kindness is a blessing and it is the expression of love in our interactions with fellow humans.

It is encouraged regardless of its motivations. Become aware of yourself in truth, and your intentions will become pure. Kindness in itself is always pure. We wish to bind everything together. And binding all of our fingers together will assist our mind in building new associations to comprehend that all in the universe is one. This concept of oneness will help us develop compassion and unconditional love, accepting everything as they are, making no more difference from the point of view of the Spirit.

Our application of the KAI mudra binds all fingers together in unification, balanced between the inside and the outside, between the completely exteriorized version made by keeping all fingers bent over the opposing hands, and the JIN mudra that keeps all fingers inside. Keeping all fingers intertwined together like this will make a mudra of unification of all things while clamping our palms together and having the fingers bend over the opposing hand will express compassion outwardly, which is also very good.

In this technique, simply let yourself absorbed by the grandiose concept of absolutely everything. Let your hearth feel love for everything without limitations and beliefs. The Shinto will refer to Inari, either and both a God and a Goddess of abundance. This availability to both sexes helps us detach the concept of love from sexuality, and teach us to love from the heart regardless of sexuality.

While sexuality is of great importance in our human experience, we have to train the human hearth to love regardless of the concept of sexuality. The Buddhists will refer here to Aizen Myo, the Light of Passion where we see again a link to the heart and feelings.

The Light of Passion is not the dense passion we are used to at the human level. It is the Passion that the Spirit experiences towards all things. Its only possible manifestation is a great love for everything. We will remember that the Sanskrit word vajraman is the common word for diamond, but also an expression for the manifested or tangible luminous creative light. In our tradition, the mantra: Om namah samanta vajranam hm Means: O, Homage to the Universal Vajra, Hm The syllable Hm remains a seed mantra that expresses the process of creation, thus it is not translated.

It is not a word, but a tool. Kuji-In Meditation Set yourself in a meditative posture. Relax, clear your mind. Use your knowledge of Kuji-In to apply a quick focus ritual. Use each of the nine sets in nine breaths, saying the Sanskrit or Kanji mantras 3 times per exhalation. Visualize freely. The goal is to clear your mind afterwards. Contemplate yourself as a human body. Take a minute to observer your physical identity. Then clear your mind about it. Contemplate yourself as a human self, in its wholeness.

Contemplate yourself as Spirit, and pay attention for a minute. Do not define yourself as Spirit, but let Spirit inform you of it. Even if you dont see, feel, understand a thing, let yourself go along with this experience. Then, let yourself gaze into emptiness and meditate. Release all kind of mental attention. Gaze without effort, gaze in nothing, simply keeping a background thought that you are gazing at Spirit. Remain in this state, without mantra or mental activity, for as long as you can.

It is a point of view from which we observe the universe and its workings. It binds every part of us with every part of everything else.

It is a place where knowledge is beyond understanding, and understanding is made possible only with the experience of the truth. Truth is not a mere observable fact, but a concept from which we were created. While we practice ourselves at remembering who we are in truth, we open the gates to the pure knowledge of the Spirit. This knowledge is revealed by Spirit and it is acquired by human means.

With patience, revelations will occur once in a while, each time clearer and stronger. The more you experience revelation, the more time will span between each of these experiences, but each time will be much more powerful. There will come a time when you will spend much time in a process of revelation and new knowledge will become easy to grasp.

But this knowledge is not often easy to put words on, and we should not permit our human ego to pretentiously affirm that he holds the knowledge to something. Revealed knowledge is more often personal than general, and it does not always apply to the experience of others. You must allow yourself to become sensible enough to recognize a revealed truth from a fantasized dream of the ego. An interesting side-effect of the development of JIN is the sporadic apparition of telepathic communications.

These communications are not phone-to-phone streams of clear understanding. While we gain experience in having our mind allow a free flow of knowledge and concepts, we might get to grasp concepts that took birth in the mind of others.

But something is important to remember here. If we are to judge the perceived concepts only the slightest, the telepathic communication will not be allowed to occur, because of the presence of the human ego in the process.

Thus, hoping to develop focused telepathic communication in order to find out information about certain facts, will simply give no handy results. Although you can practice at focusing your telepathic listening, mind reading depletes a great deal of energy when done from the point of view of the human ego, and you never have any guarantees that the information was not distorted by the same egotistical flaws that lead to such an outrageous misuse of this wonderful ability.

It is recommended to simply let go of such ability and let it work its wonders by itself when we hold our mind and hearth in a state of humility and compassion. This mudra helps us get in contact with all the inner connections we make, at the level of the mind, the heart, as well as the Spirit. This is the mudra that gets every level in touch with the others so that a global understanding of every situation can be attained. JIN affects both understanding and expression of knowledge.

These inner bonds will eventually lead to the experience of knowledge without words. The deepest knowledge is made out of conceptual thought, un-worded and un-labeled by our human interpret.

This mudra keeps all fingers inside, making connections from within, thus the development of understanding all things. This JIN mudra is the mudra that most traditions use. This kuji-in technique is the place of knowledge and understanding. It is where we learn by explaining to ourselves from Spirit to human, thus, knowledge gained thru inner observation and contemplation. On aganaya in maya sowaka swaha glory.

The Shinto prays Sumiyoshi, a god known for his love of poetry and the process of purification. The more we will advance in the spirituality of Kuji-In, the more abstract it will becomes. As we progress on the path to enlightenment, everything becomes clearer, yet the highest level of information comes from beyond the human mind. Thus, this elevated knowledge can take place in our human mind only thru the process of revelation, and the standard intellectualism becomes almost obsolete.

In order to perceive the highest knowledge, our mind must discover stillness, thru perseverant practice. When human joins Spirit in one single existence, the revelation occurs and knowledge from the universe becomes available to the human mind in function of its availability for this higher knowledge.

Spirit never fights against the desires of the human, even the buried desires of ignorance. We are here faced to another challenge of befriending our human ego. Revelation can occur only when we admit we do not know. Yet, the reveled knowledge will tend to follow the subject we gaze upon.

Thus, a lot of practice is required to develop a humble attitude, presenting to Spirit the knowledge we have as a human, and allowing it to be enriched or rectified by the intervention of Spirit thru the process of revelation.

We must willingly give permission to our Spirit to transmute us, even at the level of the mind. In our tradition, Om agnayaa yanmayaa Swaha! It is a calling to both human and Spirit to intervene in our existence. It calls for the stillness of our human so that Spirit can penetrate it, and in the calm of a heavenly bliss, we awaken to the supernatural truth about ourselves. Agni is the God of Fire in the Hindu religion, and it is the Sanskrit word used to name all kinds of heavenly or spiritual fire.

It is not a fire that needs to be set aflame before it can exist. It is an eternal spiritual flame birth from the first act of creation. It is fire, yet it can be still, seemingly deprived of movement, but only because its vibration rate is too high to notice the quintessential activity it operates upon us. It is a fire made out of consciousness and it operates a transmutation on everything that it comes in contact with. Once flowing within, it imbibes every spoken word with its transmuting properties, giving life, southing hearts, producing healing and transmitting conscious experience rather than intellectual sterile knowledge.

Revelation In the next chapters, information will be given so you can contemplate it and allow yourself to learn from your Spirit. The true knowledge will come from progressive revelation, and this knowledge will be less likely to be transmitted to fellow humans, for it requires the availability developed over the years with the regular practice of Kuji-In.

Take the time to develop your abilities. Practice as often as you can. Do not trouble yourself with questions when you are concerned with the mysteries of Spirit. Do not rely so much on the knowledge you can acquire with human means, since this is now the field of the Spirit, and new knowledge in these areas can only be acquired by spiritual means.

Patience and determination will lead to success. Humility will lead to greater knowledge of the workings of the universe. Spirit is beyond words. Thus, revelation will take place without words, and you will get to touch the truth. Retsu Retsu Consciousness We now stand in a transit area between dimensions. Space and time are only definitions that we placed over the mask of our own perception.

From Spirit to human, and human to Spirit, there is no label, name, difference, or anything else that could be defined in ways to separate in levels or compartments.

Yet, when our mind becomes aware of such dimensions, we naturally place images, sounds and feelings over the experience so we can integrate this new information in our human mind. This is a good way of interpreting the mechanisms of the universe, as long as we remember our thoughts remain interpretations. Each interpretation may differ from ones experience to anothers, yet there are always similarities since it is the same universe observed from different point of views, in different ways. RETSU is where we transmute the limits of perception.

It is where long hours stop being tiring, and too short moments do not seem so fragile anymore. It is from this point of view where you may eventually remember the immortality and eternity of yourself as Spirit. Henceforth, human time becomes of a lesser importance in itself, but you must still remember your responsibility towards your human schedule.

The same changes occur with your perception of space. Too small or too big are concepts that disappear, leading to the appreciation of whatever the size.

From the moment you remember your wholeness as Spirit, the eternity and the size of your existence, every human measure loses gravity. This new perception is a tool of great power for it releases the hold that the human ego has over your perception. Yet, it is the place where spiritual ego takes every opportunity to lessen the value of your human experience. Yes, we could say we have a spiritual ego.

In fact, human and spiritual egos are simply the ego seen from a different point of view. Nevertheless, the ego is present and he tries to limit the expansion of your consciousness.

And he quite knows that you will expand your consciousness thru your human experience. Remain responsible of your human measures, without allowing them to limit your experience of life. You will remember who you are once you become, as Spirit, fully incarnated in your human temple. Retsu Technique Retsu mudra In this mudra, the index of the human hand thrusts its affirmation of life to climb into the channel of the Spirit hand, to finally get in contact with the spiritual expression and consciousness, the spiritual index and thumb.

For some, it is a reference to the rising of the kundalini, which is the power of life that resides in the base chakra, and climbs up the spine once awakened. For others, it is the elevation of the mind to commune with the higher self. We could think it represents the human that crosses all the spiritual dimensions to attain enlightenment. I like to believe it is all of those interpretations and more. Retsu mantra Retsu means split.

The first thing that could be perceived as splitting up, in creation, is the apparition of the concept of dimensions. Retsu corresponds to the multi-dimension universe we live in.

This technique is a link between these dimensions, and it can be used to go up and to bind them, establishing relationships with many dimensions at the same time. On O I ro ta ki hi cha no ga chandoga ji ba jiva tai tay sowaka swaha. Note the pronounciation change of jyota to jyoti when linked to hi. This is one of the complexe aspects of Sanskrit. They refer to the red energy of life that cannot be extinguished and that keeps us alive longer.

The Buddhists prays Amida Nyorai, or Amithabha Buddha, the Light and Long Life, again in reference to the eternity of our existence, or the extending of our lifespan. The chanting mentioned here is a way to describe the vibration of sound. The light that we invoke here is the light that will help our life stream vibrate stronger. Our life stream is what links our Spirit to our human incarnation. It is the flow of divine light that traverses all dimensions and levels of experience from Spirit to human body.

Thus, with this mantra we invoke the Divine Light that makes our life stream vibrate. In our tradition: Om jyotihi chandoga jiva tay Swaha!

We are the masters of our lives. When Spirit comes from the heavens and descends into the human realms, we taint the light of Creation with the spoils or blessings of our human conditions, leading to the manifestation of everything we ever experienced. At every level, purify yourself, transmute yourself, rectify yourself to become a pure temple of light and power. As you progress on the path, keep your focus on what is simple, happy and wonderful of your human experience, so to encourage it and progressively release you from the jail of judgment and sorrow.

Keep a simple smile in your face. Be happy of your life. Do all that is in your power to make your life beautiful. It is your responsibility, and you have the tools to remain in the faith that you will succeed.

If there is ever something specific you desire, be careful how you will enunciate your desire. Lets say, for example, you are wounded and you wish to heal. If your mental focus is I heal my wounds, you will manifest tons of wounds so you can heal them. If you wish to have enough money to pay your bills and focus on I pay all my bills, you will create yourself so much more bills, so you can get to pay them.

When you wish to heal, focus on I am healed and visualize yourself healthy. When you wish to have lots of money, focus on I have lots of money, and do not judge your focus.

Often, the - 93 -. If you always say that money is dirty and used to create war, you will be less likely to manifest money, since you also desire peace. Be certain that you get to love what you wish to manifest. Transform yourself and release all judgments you hold before you operate a conscious process of manifestation. I will not give a precise ritual of manifestation for now. It is preferable that you improvise while keeping the basic rules in mind, rather than following a precise ritual of manifestation.

Once everything is clear in your mind, and your focus affirmation brought back to its most simple expression, combine all the tools you learned so far, and call forth the manifestation. Stretch out both your hands up and invoke the presence of yourself as Spirit, to come into your human experience, while you lower both your hands to make the creative light flow into the earth, and into the world around you.

Be creative, say words that are simple and powerful. Enunciate your desire aloud if you can , feel your desire, visualize, create it, while connecting to the high realms of Divine Light, bringing it down into the created world.

Remember that ZAI itself is not a ritual of manifestation, but a technique to enhance your creative abilities. After a great while of practicing ZAI, your power of manifestation will become more obvious and efficient. But right after the first time, you could feel the power of creation flow thru you. It might take quite a while to manifest your desires, but it will manifest if you also work with your human tools to make your desires possible.

If you wish to manifest Love in your life, but you never take any steps to meet people, you might actually manifest great Love from yourself to yourself. If you want a mate, go out there and find one, assisted by sporadic applications of your ritual of manifestation. Then, you must not judge what life will bring to you, but accept it as a new lesson.

The indexes of affimation and thumbs of consciousness join together in concert while every other level of our experience, sensibility and grounding is extended in every dimension, in ways to manifest the creative light that comes from the spiritual world.

In some traditions, the mudra is done by making a cirlcle with the indexes and thumbs symbolizing the sun, creator of all things. In other traditions the indexes and thumbs make a triangle pointing upwards, representing the elevation of the meditating mind. In each case, every other finger are extended to represent the phenomena of manifestation at every level.

It sometimes indicates a concept that resembles something in the outside realms. From the point of view of Spirit, existing outside refers to the concept of manifestation into dimension, thus, the phenomena of creation. The first word sRj is pronounced she-ree-j, where the R is followed by an almost mute ee sound. The R in Rtaya also followed by the almost mute ee sounds like Ri-taya. Again, you are encouraged to find audio recordings of these mantras.

Here, the Shinto prays the sun deity Nitten Shi. The sun is the symbol of creation in many traditions. As in future, we point out here to the concept of what will be, or what will become, referring again to the creation to come.

In our tradition: Om srija iva ritaya Swaha! Means: O, Creating with Perfection, Glory Practicing this Kuji-In set will enhance your ability to create, which is your availability to let Spirit model your human experience in function of what you hold in your human focus, in your mind and your heart.

In fact, they are the same thing, perceived from different point of views. Everything that you are, in every aspect, is but one single being, evolving thru many simultaneous dimensions and experiences.

Your body, your Spirit, and your heart, are but one pure being vibrating in many frequencies at the same time, but never separated by any dimension whatsoever. Dimensions are but ways our human mind uses to label different levels of perception, multiple point of views. Nothing separates us in any way. We are whole, complete and perfect. All that is left is for us to remember such a truth. Kuji-In, in the transformational approach, will assist you in your evolution, from the resolution of your conflicts to the elevation of perception.

It will help you release your fears, doubts, shame and anger. It will help you remember who you are, and to bring this memory back to light, in a conscious knowledge that you are one with yourself. The only aspect that remains active in the human hand is the thumb of consciousness, so that it can touch the consciousness of the Spirit. Other than that, the left hand lies over the bed laid by the Spirit.

The Spirit hand receives the resting human hand, to care for it. This is the mudra known as the Golden Seal, in some Chinese Buddhist traditions.

Some traditions will place the fingers of the right hand in front of the left hand, cloaking it, and the left index also touching the tip of the right thumb.

This mudra variation is mostly used in martial arts when invoking Marishi-Ten to shield us or hide us from enemies.

Here are a few other known variations of the ZEN mudra. It takes a calm mind to perceive the most obvious essence of reality in a world filled with fantasy, dreams and fears. Knj: Sanskrit: On Om a ah ra ra ba pa sha ca no-o sowaka na dhi. As it is without translation in any language, this mantra is associated to what the Buddhists call the Manjusri Bodhisatwa mantra, also known as the invocation of perfection.

Said to cloak, even to render invisible, the Shinto prays the deity Marishi-Ten, the guardian of warriors. In fact, it is the cloak of illusion that hides the truth that is taken away, while we use the invocation of perfection, at a point where our human eyes are allowed to shut enough for our spiritual eyes to perceive reality as it is.

This phenomenon greatly increases our vibration rate, which then makes it more difficult for other active human minds to accept the existence of such a heavenly presence in this world. Thus, without having us actually disappear, it might happen that someone does not notice your presence even while you should be apparent to them. This mantra cannot have any meaning, thus we did not invent one for our tradition. We teach that this mantra is not meant to be understood, but simply to be uttered consciously, so to awaken the presence of the Spirit in our human world.

Meditate a lot, all you can. Take your time to forget your human self, so that you can get to know your spiritual self. Let the revelation of truth occur, and never be so impatient to share your findings with others, that will not understand the slightest of what you are saying. This technique is for you to use and discover. This is where the real path begins. Conclusion Where the path begins This is where the true path of the master begins. Thank you for your time and hospitality. There juji be a discussion about this on the talk page.

With each of the stages of enlightenment that come from the nine syllables comes a new set of inner confrontations, which must be addressed and kjri before moving to the next level. The visualization point is the crown of the head. My Account Logout Wishlist. Kuji-in was used to build confidence and strength in the ninja.

After Japanese translation of the mantras, Reikiand the kuji-in became resources for those looking to grow the kyji of philosophy they practiced. The visualization is of a bright light building in the solar plexus and observation of its color changes. Both of these systems along with intentional visualization are methods of deepening meditation. Middle fingers raised, other fingers straight interlocked, thumbs meet index.

History of the Nine Syllables Simple hand mudra used in meditation. I am skilled in my own style of martial arts and have been into many fights and sparring tournaments. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The concept of enlightenment, on the other hand, is an integral part of the khji. It is meant to channel power throughout the body and is associated with mental focus and energy generation.

Zen brings enlightenment and understanding. Some literature correlates each syllable or center with a Spirit or Deity. In this author's perspective, there are attributes of consciousness associated with each level or syllable. These are, however, internal and not external. The consciousness is an aspect of one's own greater mind, not a separate external consciousness.

The 9 hand seals or Mudras technique and its teachings are very ancient and may have preceded the Hindu religion. The earlier versions are believed to have been passed down orally, and then later recorded in Sanskrit. They are a practice attributed to the Hindu religion from its earliest times.

It was devised as a way to bring the virtues of the Spirit into the physical experience. The nine hand seals practice was later adopted by Esoteric Buddhism. The mudras remained the same, or similar, but Buddhist mantras where added. The original mantras were in Sanskrit.

The Buddhist movement went to Tibet and China, where the tradition was passed on to the hermetic and esoteric groups. The techniques migrated from China and Tibet to Japan. In Japan, the kuji-in disciplines were adopted by Esoteric Buddhism. The Ninja and some Samurai groups were practitioners of Buddhism.

They adopted the Kuji-In practice into their martial arts with the focus on developing power. The Kuji-In mudras have been popularized in some of the ninja movies as the source of the special mental and psychic powers attributed to the mystical ninja.

The kuji-in technique is composed of a combination of the application of the mudra hand postures , mantra associated prayer or affirmation , and the mandala the associated symbol or visualization.

The goal of the kuji-in technique is the quest for knowing the truth about ourselves. It is a contemplation of higher principles, an application of noble behavior in our daily lives, and mental ability to perceive knowledge that is not studied, but revealed. The side effects of this revelation are the acquisition of strength, control, healing powers, telepathy, clairvoyance and the ability to manifest.

As with any meditation practice, the results are formed and defined by the practitioner's intent. If the intent is pure and selfless, the manifested results will be accordingly positive and powerful. If the intent is self-centered and power focused, the results may yield a kind of power, but a power that is deceptive and ultimately destructive. This is a practice that can, if applied with a pure intent, accelerate enlightenment. The activation of kundalini and the purification of one's self are integral to this game plan.

It should not be surprising that a practice with such an ancient history that has diffused into so many cultures and religions over a very long period of time would have some variations in how it is practiced and understood.

There are over 80 different versions of the kuji-in mudras in the various Japanese Buddhist sects alone. First, in some of the hand positions Mudras , I connect the finger tips. The reason is that the finger tips are the termination points of meridians. When I experiment, I get a more powerful effect by doing this. Second, I change the mantras to my own native language English. My intent is to capture the meaning and intent with the affirmation.

Some will make the argument that the mantras should only be spoken in the original Sanskrit. I don't dispute the argument, but I strongly urge anyone to not repeat affirmations or mantras that they don't understand.

To get powerful results from this kind of practice, one needs to have a powerful intent and clear understanding invested in the practice and the words used in it. The meaning and intent of the affirmation or mantra must be understood and felt in order to get the proper effect from it. Third, I use the chakras and the corresponding endocrine centers as the focus points. Some kuji-in practice descriptions correlate with this and some don't. Also, rather than attributing a color or image to visualize for the chakra, I suggest visualizing a white light and allowing it to form its own color and pattern.

One can then observe its state and how it changes with practice. I also correlate overlapping concepts from the Chinese energy system, Qi Gong, Pranayama and the Huna energy system. In addition to emphasizing commonality of concepts between cultures, I simplify as much as possible.

This does not need to be hard. NOTE: When one affirms something to the effect of "I am the divine consciousness" or anything similar, it should invoke a sense of humility When we first become one with "God", "the Force", "Infinity", etc.

The tail does not wag the dog. With practice and self purification, we may become the whole dog. As with any Spiritual practice, Intent is of pre-eminent importance. You may also notice as you practice these mudras and mantras that your effects will be felt more quickly and powerfully when you combine energy enhancing exercises including but not limited to Qi Gong, Pranayama, Huna, Robert Bruce's energy development, etc. It is important to avoid impatience.

Spiritual growth cannot be rushed. In the course of practicing any Spiritual discipline, even a minor kundalini awakening may uncover some unresolved personal issues.

Pause and take the time to address them properly. If you need counseling to help, then get counseling. If you need to clean up some relationship issues, take pause and do so. You don't want to burn the house down because you are in a hurry to cook a meal. Each of the Kuji-in practices has a correspondence with a chakra, energy center and level of consciousness. Each chakra corresponds to a physical endocrine gland. Edgar Cayce stated that each endocrine gland center is associated with and influenced by a particular afterlife realm through its associated astrological planetary correlation.

According to Cayce, the planetary realm is not that of the physical planet, but a distinct plane that is inhabited. According to Cayce, each chakra and each astrological symbol is associated with a particular personality aspect in the individual. The lowest endocrine gland in our body, the sexual glands, is associated with the lowest afterlife realm in the hierarchy of Spirit realms.

The pituitary gland is associated with the highest afterlife realm in the hierarchy. The afterlife realm we travel to upon death is determined by the highest endocrine gland within our body that we have Spiritually activated. Activation of the highest Spiritual center, the pituitary gland, creates a Spiritual awakening and enlightenment that brings an awareness of our one-ness with God, the Infinite or the Source.

We can achieve Spiritual enlightenment through meditation and any other experience that unites our awareness with that of God, or the one Source. The Kuji-in meditations are a system of raising energy and raising consciousness. They are a means of stimulating the awakening and arising of the kundalini. The awakening of the kundalini requires the purification of the energy of the chakras. Therefore, doing the kuji-in meditations may stimulate chakra activity and bring any energy imbalances or unresolved issues to the practitioner's attention.

In the Indian energy system the basic energy is called Prana and the breathing practices used to concentrate and channel Prana are called Pranayama. In Indian Yoga, there are dozens of different breathing patterns intended to produce different effects. In Taoist yoga, the two main energy circulations are the microcosmic orbit and the macrocosmic orbit, both focused on the conception vessel and governing vessel meridians.

In addition, there are energy movement patterns incorporating the additional ten pairs of meridians. In the Huna energy system, the basic energies are called Mana, Mana Mana, and Mana Loa and the basic breathing pattern to concentrate and channel energy is called the Ha Rite.

These different energy systems are really describing the same thing, only from the perspective of different cultures. Apparent differences result from slightly different emphasis or understanding developed in each culture and the inadequacies of record preservation and translation.

For the purposes of this practice, I recommend using what is basically the "yogic complete breath". There are two hand positions commonly used with this syllable or chakra.

In one, the middle fingers are extended while the other fingers turn inward with the finger tips touching.

Some sources claim that this position is associated with a focus on the Spiritual aspects of this mudra. In the alternate position, the index fingers are extended instead. This alternate position is associated with a focus on power and a projection of power and is associated with martial arts applications. It is the second version with the index fingers extended that you see in ninja mudras.

The Rin focus point is half way between the anus and sexual organs, directly between the legs. This is the Meng Men point or gate of vitality. This is a junction point between the conception vessel and governing vessel and is an important link in the microcosmic orbit. The visualization is fire or raw energy. Alternately visualize a bright light glowing at the focus point. Observe the color of the light or light pattern and not how it changes with practice.

Rin is associated with the first or root chakra, with strength of body and mind. Rin is associated with mental focus and energy generation. Rin is associated with being physically well and having a positive outlook, self confidence, trust in self and trust in the infinite.

The corresponding endocrine gland is the gonads. According to Edgar Cayce, the energy of the sexual glands, when misdirected, may bring sexual perversions and unbridled sensuality. If this Spiritual center is the highest center activated during a person's life, at death they may dwell in the corresponding afterlife realm associated with the planet Saturn.

This afterlife realm can be referred to as the realm of earthly woes and is not a pleasant place. It is similar to the afterlife realm which is known by Catholics as purgatory, a place of cleansing, purification and starting over.

Activating the root chakra brings one into the direct experience of any unresolved urges and unfinished business of a sexual nature. Once purified, the root chakra energy becomes a driving force for the activation of higher chakras and consciousness. As you activate this center, you may have to confront any unresolved sexual issues that you may have. For the Kyo mudra, extend your index fingers and bend your middle fingers over your index fingers so that the tips of your thumbs are touching the tips of your middle fingers.
