Prana as Nerve Current
We have a body which is a container of space, made of channels which are flowing the sacred nourishments of air, water, fire and earth through these channels. Essentially the body is a bag of water that is energised with the prana of the breath and of food.
This bag of water contains many receptor sites that is transforming external prana into neurological energy which is then transmitted to the brain and then transformed into perception.
For example a chemical arises on the tongue and is perceived as taste, a vibration reaches the ear and is perceived as sound, something touches the skin and it is perceived as a sensation.
All prana that touches the body’s receptor sites is sent to the brain to be transformed into perception. The body is metabolising energy into new kinds of consciousness.
This can be broken down into four oversimplified steps:
1)The energy comes in contact with the receptor site.
3)The receptor site transforms it into neurological energy.
4)The neurological energy flows into the brain
5)The brain converts it into perception and consciousness.
With the understanding that prana is arising and dissolving instantaneously from nothingness and being transformed into neurological energy as it reaches the receptor sites of the body, we see that the entire world of what we’re perceiving is nothing more than our brain creating a representation of our perception of reality.
The way in which we experience life comes from our brain creating a holographic model from the neural networks being activated by the transmissions of prana.
The mind is habitually making it so that we cannot notice the illusory nature of reality and so much of spiritual practice is about overcoming these habits of the mind.
We can deconstruct these habits by habitually perceiving the nature of prana as regularly as possible and by paying attention to what is actually happening.
The sensations of the body can be noticed and perceived as the divine intelligence of prana expressing itself and we can repititiously experience ourselves as expressions of this divinity to realise more and more that we are not the self we thought ourselves to be but we are fundamentally divine energy.
Practices
1)The Four Layers of Prana:
-Observe the body sensations that are constantly arising from both internal physiology and from external stimuli.
-Observe the body sensations as a flow of prana being bioelectrical nerve current that is flowing to the brain and transforming the sensation to awareness.
-Observe the flow of prana as the intelligence of nature, the mind of the universe, with the capacity to organise quadrillions of events simultaneously.
-Practice radical non interference. Let the mind rest, continuing to observe the flow of prana as the intelligenc of nature, allowing it to move freely as we leave it alone.
