into "c," "c" changing into "d" -- and always the longing for the far off. And then you go on running, and you never reach; then you go on becoming this and that and you are never a being.
The being is here and now.
Drop dreaming and you are there where you have really been always, but you were never aware.
All meditation techniques are just antidream efforts, just dream-negating devices.
The New Morning Meditation -- Dynamic Meditation
Three steps are to be followed. They should be followed as vigorously as possible. One has to put everything at stake, totally -- nothing less will do.
The first step is fast breathing. Breathe as fast as possible, because we are using breathing as a hammer. It is to be a hammering inside for the coiled energy to be uncoiled. So use it as a hammer for the inner serpent, to awaken it.
So do not withhold; give in completely. For ten minutes I will go on encouraging you to make any effort possible. Whatsoever you can do, do it at your peak, your climax.
In the second step you have to be in a catharsis. Dance, jump, cry, laugh -- whatsoever happens to you, but do something. Movement is necessary -- whatsoever is inside must be thrown outside. This catharsis leads to a purity, to a very deep cleansing.
In the third step you have to use "hoo!" So go on crying, "hoo! hoo! hoo!" -- this too is to be used as a hammer. This mantra, "hoo," goes deep down to the MULADHAR, to the sex center, and hammers the energy to rise upwards.
After thirty minutes, the fourth step -- we will be lying, just as if dead, and waiting for the divine to descend.
Make a space around you so you can be just totally mad. Make space around you. Don't be in a group, don't be in a crowd -- just spread out.
Now close your eyes with the blindfold.
Make space. Look around and see, because you will be jumping and dancing and going completely mad.
Now we should begin. Close your eyes.
