BUBBA: I want to talk to you
about the origins of this process of "conductivity," which
is not a yoga in the traditional sense. Yoga, from the
traditional point of view, is a way of gradually approaching
a new condition called Enlightenment, Self-realization,
Cosmic Consciousness, Divine Realization, Nirvana, and so
forth. it is a strategic method to approach this new
condition. Therefore, it begins in a condition that doesn't
already enjoy what it is seeking. The origin of yoga and of
all seeking is a dilemma. But this process of conductivity
is not a way of approaching the Divine, or the Divine
Condition, or whatever you want to name it. It is life
already lived in the Divine. It is that process generated
when the Truth is already enjoyed as the principle and
condition of conscious life. Garbage and Goddess -

"You are responsible for the
various forms of your practice, the forms of conductivity
and the conscious process"...not the Spiritual
Master.
"Such present observation and
transcendence are the fundamental exercises of the Beezone
Study: Intro: That whole affair of practice, which
ultimately becomes awakening, is what I call the Conscious
Process. The Concsious Process cannot be reduced to
exercises that go into the name of the conscious process.
The Conscious Process is really the entire Way, including
the secondary means. The Conscious Process in the Way of
the Heart is not the whole but a part of the total affair of
practice, which involves the transcendence of ego, or
conditional attention. It is also the epitome of this Way
and it is the essence and most fundamental excercise of this
Way. The practice of this Way has many features and forms
and the Conscious Process being one of them, develops by
stages. It is associated with the total culture of life
because the concept of Narcissus or ego applies to every
single aspect of the life of the individual. People thinking about the Conscious
Process may see it in abstract terms if they truly don't
fully read Adi Da. They would perhaps see it in terms of the
present day 'dharma' of 'non-dual' teachings. People who
preach 'no path' or identification with the Absolute. This
is an error in understanding Adi Da. Today many teachers and teachings
advocate identifying with consciousness and affirm that the
essence of being beyond thoughts and actions is presently
and already idenififed with the Absoulte. They presume
Enlightenment and advocate no need or purpose for a teacher,
Spiritual Master or in in fact a path, sadhana any spiritual
discipline. This again is an error of
understanding. Continue to read on and understand
the spiritual process is about purification and freeing
energy and attention from the self contraction. In freeing
energy and attention from the self contraction the the
habits of ego equanimity and responsibility for conscious
process are awakened.
Adi Da's essay WHAT IS THE
CONSCIOUS PROCESS? In The Liberator
Eleutherios, I have written, "Be Conscious as the Feeling of
Being and Realize that It Is Radiant Happiness." This
Admonition summarizes the Teaching relative to the conscious
process which epitomizes and fulfills the entire
Way
that I Teach. However, it must be
understood that this Practice (of the Conscious Process) or
ultimate Realization of the conscious process, is not a
matter of remaining fixed in the conscious or merely
left-brained mind of the waking state. It is a matter of
Realizing the Transcendental Condition of Consciousness,
Free Being, or Self-Radiant Happiness - what is called
"Turiya," or the "fourth state," in the Hindu
tradition.

therefore, is a basic practice in this Way. It is associated
with the attitude of going beyond the self-contraction and
allowing attention to be focused in understanding in this
moment through the conscious process". and: "The living human body is a system
or structure for the conduction of life. The physical body
is contacted by or unified with mind, or attention, via the
pervading medium of life-force. The present capacity of the

equanimity, and all the life-disciplines are basic
practices. They are expressions of the point of view of
understanding, and by application to these disciplines,
energy and attention are released for the conscious
process..." ..."it is not a fourth or fifth stage
practice".... "If you do not found yourself in
this radical disposition of Ignorance and Understanding then
the practice of the disciplines...are transformed...into
seeking ..and..conventional excercises " Subtle Error of
Conductivity Extra ordinary experiences tend to
arise and individuals become enamored of them and become the
object of their meditation. "extraordinary experiences begin to
arise. And rather than transcend these experiences through
the conscious process, individuals tend; to become enamored
of them and so attracted to them that their practice becomes
meditative submission to the potentials of experience." "Fundamentally,
what you were invited to enjoy when you became involved with
me was not the practice of enquiry or the practice of
conductivity. The invitation was for you to enjoy Satsang,
present intuited happiness in the Divine. When that begins,
then all of the transforming events follow. Then there
arises the primary process of self-observation, insight, and
enquiry. And there may also arise the secondary process of
the movement of the life-force, and your consequent
participation in it in the form of conscious conductivity.
In order for that to be true sadhana and not an organ of the
search, you must continually return to the fundamental,
which is Satsang itself. It is to that fundamental and prior
Condition, Satsang, that you are continually returning, even
in the midst of these transforming events. Otherwise, they
become your concerns. They become distractions,
fascinations, images in the pond, ritual instruments,
liturgical instruments for the priesthood of Narcissus. So I
am continually reminding you of this fundamental
Condition." Garbage and Goddess -
Chapter
9 Practice a broad spectrum of
functional and relational (SECONDARY - supportive
disciplines - 'conductivity') disciplines: 1. General health Relax into the Life-Current. We
should not resist its changes, but we should not be
fascinated with them or trapped by them. Work to keep
physically, emotionally, and mentally relaxed and balanced.
Don't intentionally let the abdomen get cold or the head
hot. a. Yoga "In and of themselves, physical
exercises and traditional Yogic poses are not the
ego-transcending discipline of "conscious exercise" that I
have Given to My devotees. "Conscious exercise" is a unique
and specific (by-Me-Given) approach to (and understanding
about) exercise and all common daily activities. In and of
themselves, the physical exercises and traditional Yogic
poses of the "daily form" of "conscious exercise" are simply
structurally correct models for physical movement and
posture (altogether). In order to become "conscious
exercise", those formalities of physical movement require
not only the discipline of the physical body but also the
simultaneous discipline of mind, emotion, and breath-in
intrinsically ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting, and
ego-transcending devotional Communion with Me. Therefore,
"conscious exercise" is not the same as conventional
physical exercise-because "conscious exercise" is founded in
the turning of the principal faculties of the
body-mind-complex to Me. Thus, "conscious exercise" is
mature (or truly human) activity, since only when all the
functions of human existence are so coordinated do they
become a single, non-problematic condition of existence that
is rightly and fully aligned to the Acausal Divine
Self-Nature, Self-Condition, Source-Condition, and
Self-State of all-and-All." Aletheon

Conductivity the Concsious Process is a verbal
exercise" The Disposition
of Enlightenment The Attitude, of
Conductivity: The world, the body, the mind, the self, and
every state of experience or cognition is nothing but a form
or state of the Radiance, Life-Current, or Shakti of God.
Therefore, recognize all that arises to be such. Relax and
surrender the body-mind to feel into the Radiance or
Love-Bliss that is the Substance of manifest
existence. The Attitude of the
Conscious Process: The world, the body, the mind, the self,
and every state of experience or cognition is nothing but a
contraction or modification of Being, Consciousness, or the
Transcendental Divine Self. Therefore, recognize all that
arises to be such, moment to moment, and so be
Free. These two primary
attitudes coincide in every moment of true practice of the
Way. Their simultaneity expresses the tacit. Realization of
Radiant Transcendental Being as the always present Identity
and Condition of existence, and such Realization is always
already established in That of which every arising condition
is a transparent, nonbinding, temporary, and unnecessary
modification.
Readings: Surrender as the total body-mind
into the All-Pervading Life-Current via the Radiant
feeling-attitude of the heart. On inhalation, open the
entire body-mind with the feeling heart and so receive the
Radiant descending Life and Love-Bliss. On exhalation,
release the feeling heart in blissful love-aspiration, thus
channeling the rising Life-Current of Love-Bliss to its
highest place. Do this breath after breath. I

of breathing-conductivity in or via the frontal line at any

inhalation-reception into the frontal line should, at
random, or occasionally, be pressed down fully to the
abdomen, while pulling up internally at the bodily base, so
that the frontal line may be opened more fully, especially
at the chest, the solar plexus, and the lower abdomen, and

Energy rather than mere matter. And treat or relate to every
condition of the phenomenal world and self, positive or
negative, high or low, as the same ultimate and total Energy

Use every condition or circumstance as an incident of
Transmission of the same Radiant Principle. Open to it,
contact it, and circulate it. And communicate it in all
directions and relations through love. I
Is The Body of Life -Chapter Two:
The Natural Vision The Secret of practice is this: In
every moment, instead of merely thinking and acting, engage
the conscious process. Instead
of Indulging in Thought, Practice the Conscious Process
DEVOTEE: Master, what are the
characteristics of somebody who is capable of the practice
of yoga? MASTER DA: First of all it is not a
matter of whether or not they are capable of yogic practice,
but whether or not they are qualified altogether. The
individual should demonstrate the intelligent, rigorous
application of discriminative intelligence. He or she should
show the signs in meditation of yogic phenomena, which will
naturally appear at a certain level of maturity.
Conductivity is essentially a yogic process, and the
conscious process is essentially a process of intuitive
intelligence. Conductivity:
Surrender into, receive (or contact), and circulate the
Energy (or Radiance) of which everything (including the
body-mind) is made. Preserve it with true happiness, which
is equanimity, peace, and calmness. Through
self-understanding and self-control, transcend reactive
emotion, physical excess, exaggerated desire, and the
dominance of either right-sidedness or left-sidedness of
being. Keep the head cool (relaxed, open) and the vital warm
(covered, relaxed, circulating). The head (or the entire
upper coil) is the epitome of the highest vibration and the
vital region (or the entire lower coil) is the epitome of
the lowest vibration. The heart and the central current are
the center of original or primary Radiance, prior to
vibratory differentiations. The frontal and spinal lines are
the circuit of transformations. (The lower, or vital and
generative, force is circulated toward and transformed into
the higher, and vice versa.) I

20 - The Dawn Horse Testament
"You must be responsible for
yourself at the human level, and in a profoundly uncommon
way. You must live the discipline of ordinary life. You
yourself must be love under all ordinary, daily conditions.
You must make this change in your life. There is no way
whereby you can be relieved of this necessity - and nobody
else can do it for you. Nevertheless, all of that ordinary
responsibility simply prepares you for the right
relationship to Me (in and As My Divinely-Avatarically-Born
bodily human Divine Form and Person)." "I was considering this cramp in the
solar plexus with you the other evening. We were having a
conversation about the yoga of the frontal line. Perhaps the
most common experience people have of contraction in this
frontal line is a cramp over the solar plexus, the "knot in
the stomach" that people refer to. If you become aware that
you are suffering this knot and this anxiety over the solar
plexus, your first resort, by tendency at any rate, will be
to try to relax it. You will take deep breaths and so forth.
That may work if the contraction is rather superficial and
your attention is relatively free, but you may also discover
that you cannot do it, that you cannot relax it. In that
case, you will begin to think some more and work on your
trouble, whereas the most direct way of dealing with it is
to divert attention from this knot, rather than keep
attention in the knot and try to undo it. I suggest to you,
as a practical matter, that instead of keeping your
attention in this knot over the solar plexus and trying to
relax it, you should simply remember that attention goes
wherever the knot is. Attention gravitates toward the
contracted states and becomes fretful, suffers the pain of
these contractions, gets stuck in these contractions and
then tries to work its way out of them, you see. Well, this
knot over the solar plexus is occurring a little more than
halfway down the frontal line of the body. The Current of
life is not descending below that point. The knot over the
solar plexus is a little bit like nausea, the urge to vomit,
weeping, and anger. This contraction is a revulsion, a
reversal of the Current in the frontal line of the body, and
in effect it prevents this line of force from going to its
lower terminal in the bodily base. One way of naturally relieving this
contraction, in addition to the basic resort that is your
devotional practice, is to place your attention lower down
in the body, below the point where you feel that cramp. If
you place your attention above the point of disturbance, the
revulsion will continue. The most intelligent approach,
therefore, is to place your attention below that point,
where there already is no contraction, you see. Place your
attention below the navel in the vital battery region, in
the genital region, or at the perineum. Do nothing other
than that. Simply place your attention there, and then
practice the meditative disposition, the devotional
disposition, the breathing and relaxing that are your daily
practice You will very likely notice that in those moments
when you otherwise would not be able to release such a
contraction, it will naturally relax, and you will enjoy the
capacity to breathe and feel and submit the total body-mind
to this Fullness. Indeed, this is how conductivity must be
practiced, by submitting yourself to the native disposition
of the body rather than fastening your attention to some
point in the circuit of the body-mind. The way, then, to
submit whole bodily when the body-mind is in a contracted
state is to place your attention lower down in the line of
the frontal Current, place it in the lower abdomen, in the
genital region, in the perineum. In these regions there is
in general a residual sense of pleasure, because there is a
portion of this Current always descending—it does leak
through this knot, you see. Thus, if you place attention in
this pleasurable expression of the Current, the knot, which
is being reinforced by holding attention in this anxious
place, will tend to relax. Then resort to the devotional
disposition, and the practice of conductivity will be found
to be fruitful". It is the work of (conductivity)
the secondary disciplines - (or the entire regime of
conductivity) - which - release(s) energy and attention from
the ego-bond. Without this supportive exercise -
Conductivity - the conscious process remains nothing more
than a minor psychological and verbal exercise of the waking
mind. It is only to the degree that energy and attention are
set free by the practical and meditational exercises of
conductivity that the conscious process can enter profoundly
into the Real Source of life and attention. It is because of the absence of
profound practice of supportive disciplines involving total
psycho-physical submission into the Life-Current that the
Way of the conscious process gets reduced to a kind of
"talking school" obsession with "consciousness." Many people
read and even write books and give lectures about the
primacy and freedom of consciousness, as if they could,
merely by analyzing consciousness out from the mass of
thinking, knowing, and experiencing, achieve the
incomparable State of "Jnana," Enlightenment, or
Transcendental Realization. But all such talk is the
mediocre chat of the waking mind. The Conscious process goes through
stages of development as the individual matures, but the
conscious process is not the whole of the practice. The
practice is associated with supportive disciplines that are
secondary but necessary, such as the dietary discipline,
general health discipline, the discipline of sexuality, and
of service. All of these disciplines come under the heading
of what I call conductivity The
Conscious Process Is the Epitome of This
Way
...because I speak with emphasis on
the conscious process as the root of spiritual life, doesn't
mean that I'm justifying some sort of contempt for the
spontaneous and subtle events. And people should not get the
ego of a little mental understanding and think that they
have become superior to the Siddhas, who manifest all the
glorious Siddhas. It is simply that the fundamental process
of spiritual life and understanding in Satsang is the
conscious one, and it is neither here nor there in terms of
identification or separation from phenomena and functions.
So the process of understanding is always one of not
identification or not seeking toward or separating from any
kind of phenomenon. It is always one of
understanding. The
Life of Understanding - Week 9
The conscious process is the process
which is generated from or at the most fundamental level of
awareness itself ...in each of the stages..are all moments
of the same process of self-transcendence...maturity in this
conscious process develops over time, a positive equanimity
begins to characterize the body-mind Instead
of Indulging in Thought, Practice the Conscious
Process
This Way is a hard school. As well
as being a life of Grace, a life in which there is great
help, that transcends the limits that you would bring to
practice ordinarily, but is is also a difficult affair. It
requires great responsibility, great attention for this
exercise. But if you enter into it truly and seriously, then
all of these kinds of changes or effects that are generated
over time, will amount to a purification of attention from
its habits. Psycho-physical equanimity, responsibility for
energy and attention will be the result of that
purification. On the basis of such equanimity the release of
attention and energy from the ego bond will be the arms and
means for the true practice of this Way. Only then can the
admonition, Be Consciousness as the Feeling of Being and
Realize that it is Radiant Happiness Itself, be realized and
understood. It can in some cases be fulfilled instantly by
anyone who hears it. You can sympathize with it to the
degree that you can enjoy a level of self understanding. But
you cannot fulfill it fully because the purification is not
complete. This is why you must go through the process of
purification and rebalancing. In order to Realize
theTranscendental Truth that Is Consciousness, the entire
process of attention must be liberated from functional
bondage to the states and functions and emotions and
thoughts and relations of the egoic or self-contracted
body-mind. The Way is not merely a matter of
self-generating these disciplines. The Way that I Teach (in
both its preparatory and mature or ultimate forms) is the
Way of "Satsang," or Transcendental Spiritual Communion with
the Adept in God (or Reality). The practices of conductivity
and the conscious process are simply the means whereby
individuals enter into that Communion moment to moment. The
Adept Spiritual Master provides the Ultimate Means whereby
the practices of conductivity and the conscious process
become fruitful. It is in the "talking school" of
heady nonpractitioners (or self-contained egos) that we hear
so much nonsense about the non-necessity of a Spiritual
Master. Of course, the Adept is of no use (except perhaps to
write books to feed the egominds) for those who are
self-bound and not interested in the real fulfillment of the
Great Way. There are also many kinds of
ego-based, childish, adolescent, merely cultic, and false
kinds of approach or attachment to the Adept -- and I
criticize those inappropriate approaches and attachments
more than any of those who merely damn and anathematize the
Great Relationship between the devotee and the Adept
Spiritual Master. But when the Way is fully understood,
valued, and practiced, then - and only then - the Great
Relationship is seen to be the Primary Principle of the Way
itself. The Adept Spiritual Master is not
merely an independent Realizer of the Truth. The true Adept
is a "Siddha," or a Living Agent of Help and Awakening.
Thus, beyond the Work of Communicating the Arguments of the
Way, the Adept is Present to Transmit the Power of
Awakening.

Given by Sri Da Avabhasa on February 13, 1993 (see link
below) Conductivity DEVOTEE: Sri Gurudev, You have
talked a great deal tonight about the simplicity and
relaxation of the process of self-understanding. I am
understanding more that it is all about the
self-contraction. I am feeling it more. SRI DA AVABHASA: You are being it
more. DEVOTEE: Yes, I am being it more,
and I am feeling like me. SRI DA AVABHASA: Yes, and you must
transcend that. That is what I am talking about. DEVOTEE: In that process of Finding
You, everything that keeps coming up is suspect. SRI DA AVABHASA: What is coming
up? DEVOTEE: Even the feeling that I am
dying. SRI DA AVABHASA: Of course you are
dying. Everybody is dying. You must commit yourself to
dying. You must invest yourself in dying. That is the Divine
Yoga. Embrace this pressure, this imposition. Be willing to
die. Be willing to do the thing that you fear, the thing
that you keep putting forward to the end of time, the end of
your life. Do it now. Start doing some dying here, then.
Start giving yourself up if you have any self-understanding
at all, and receive Me down behind your tongue here. You
have to gulp Me down and give way to Me. So what? That is
life. DEVOTEE: In the process of gulping
and receiving You, this pressure does not go
away. SRI DA AVABHASA: No, you must give
yourself to My Divine Invasion. Accept It. Accept that that
is life, that is the reason for existence, that is the law
of existence, that is the Perfect State you are Given, and
allow It completely, more and more, with all your stress,
with murders in your heart, in your gut, just
done. All your "oinking" refusal, hatred,
anger, upset, pursuit, seeking. So what? You have to make a
life out of this acceptance, this embrace. Eat It. Eat the
Living God. You must let your fear of death go.
You must accept the imposition of What Is here that you have
been refusing all your life, and take Me on. The dying
business is a great Yoga, all over your heart, opened,
relaxed, because you gave it up. Give it up, relax down,
surrender. You are all in the same boat here in
these independent bodies. Death is coming. Do it, then. Do
it now. Embrace What is Imposing Itself on you. Do not wait
until the end of life. Do it now. There I am—swallow Me
down. Take a deep breath. Be done with it. It has to happen.
Do not wait for the end of life. That is "conductivity". Give Me your
attention. Let it go, down to the frogs, the toads. Be at
peace. Give up your struggle. Be at peace here and now. All
your obstructions, your impulses, and your
reactivity—let them go now. Be at peace, free in your
mind, free in your feelings, free in your body, free in your
relations. Take Me down. Breathe Me down. Be at
peace in your mind. Be at peace. Do right now what you think
you would do on your deathbed—right now. [Speaking very slowly and
quietly] Come and sit before Me and offer your gifts,
not ceremonially merely, but as a real act of
self-surrender. Sit with Me. Receive Me. Be at peace here in My
Company. Reside here. Live in My
Company. Be at peace with Me. Release the stress of the refusal of
death and your self-defense. Drop the
self-defense. These bodies go to corpse. You go to
Me. Those who remain behind will wash it
and burn it. See—amazingly and during the
day, your eyes are open, the mind is clear. All is
clear. The world will live at peace—a
peaceful life. Relax into it. This is My Admonition to My
devotees: Self-surrendered, self-forgotten, give up your
stress, your own act of separateness. Breathe deeply, down to your
toes—emotional relaxation. The

Introduction to the Study
"This practice of conductivity is a great art.
Therefore, the practice develops over time...in the form of
an effective life-practice...that practice of conductivity
is a change in your capacity to be responsible for the full
openness of this frontal line of your manifest existence.
Until you become fully responsible for it...you are always
experiencing symptoms of one or another kind, chronically...
physical and emotional symptoms... in the form of your
complicated living."
"The conditional root of attention is the
self-contraction. Attention is not finally controllable by
effort, but it (or its binding power) naturally dissolves if
the self-contraction is presently observed, tacitly
understood, and transcended."
