INTRODUCTION

by the Joint Author CHARLES F. HAANEL, D.Psy.

In this volume I have embodied many valuable secrets, which have been collected with great care from the treasured wisdom of Ancient India.

These secrets if put into daily practice will bring you added health, greater success and unbounded happiness.

They will prove to be a "guide, philosopher and friend " and will serve you well in times of trouble, difficulty or disease. In fact you will soon come to regard them as the greatest boon that has ever come into your life.

They will invest you with courage, hope, health, success, power, length of days, a radiant countenance and a magnetic personality.

You will now probably want to know something concerning Victor S. Perera who has collaborated with me in penning this work.

He was born February 21st, 1897, at Matara, on the Island of Ceylon, India.

He was born of Cingalese parents, and was brought up as a Christian. His early education was in Cingalese, his mother-tongue, but he was later educated in English and attended an English College.

His health was delicate, which made him quiet and reserved, but he had a marvellous memory, which soon placed him at the head of his classmates in every subject. Because of continued ill-health, he left college in 1915, passing out as an undergraduate of Cambridge University.

He had intended to study medicine, but ill-health prevented and in 1917 he became a teacher.

He contributed articles to the Indian Recorder (1923—1924) on "The Operation of the Law of Karma," which gave the highest teachings which have been long lost to the world, concerning the operation of the Law of Cause and Effect on the mental plane. The article received the highest appreciation.

The important facts contained in this volume, will place a sceptre of power in your hands with which you can open a pathway to health, success and the life abundant.

You will find that they contain a priceless message which will bring solace to your mental wounds in times of distress. You will come to feel that you have realized a lifelong dream, and will often regret that this information did not come to you much earlier.

And, what is best of all, you will find nothing in these lessons which will in any way conflict with any religious principles which you may hold.

On the other hand your spiritual convictions will be strengthened because you will find that Truth is the same, in all lands, and in all times, regardless of the name it may take or the manner of its presentation.

May the message which has been penned for you by myself and by my collaborator in Ceylon, the "Pearl upon the brow of India," the "Eden on the Western Wave," linger long with you and bring you a world of light and life, and beauty, radiant with joy and youth.

PART ONE IDA, PlNGALA AND SUSHUMANA

THIS part tells you of a strange discovery made by the Hindu Scientists—how and why certain practices make one positive, courageous, daring and passionate, while others make one timid, humble, obedient and spiritual. This is one of the amazing secrets of the Yogi and is worth many times the price of the entire course.

1.      If we divide a human body into two halves along the median line, we should observe that most of the organs which are intended to carry out some function of the body, consist of two symmetrical parts, one located on the right half of the body, the other on the left half.

2.      Thus, the brain, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the arms, the lungs, the kidneys, the testicles or ovaries, and the legs are all double organs or parts, one of which is situated on the right side of the body and the other on the left.

3.      This is because man is a magnet having two poles, the same as all other bodies which manifest magnetic properties.

4.      The right side of his body represents the positive pole, while the left side represents the negative pole.

5.      Spirit, Mind Substance, Astral Substance, Ether and Matter, all manifest two poles—the positive and the negative. This is an inherent law of the Cosmos. Male, and female, heat and cold, north and south, east and west, light and darkness, day and night, represent the two poles of each continuous whole.

6.      The positive pole manifests characteristics diametrically opposed to those of the negative.

The functions of one similarly differ from the other.

7.      Each pole of a body having magnetic properties, is so constituted that it absorbs (inhales) stores up (retains) and radiates (exhales), a subtle form of energy, from and to the surrounding space.

8.      The energy absorbed and radiated by the positive pole differs from the energy absorbed and radiated by the negative pole. But at the spot which divides the positive pole from the negative pole, the body possesses the characteristics of neither the positive nor the negative, but a combination of both.

9.      Now this is true of the human organism. The right side of the body forms the

positive pole and the left side the negative pole of the human magnet.

10.      As energy is fluidic and kinetic, it has control over matter.

11.      Ether is static energy, it fills all space and interpenetrates all solids, all gases.

12.      Ether consists of positive and negative electrons.

13.      When any body having magnetic properties ceases to absorb and radiate energy, from and to the surrounding space, its magnetic properties cease.

14.      It is then dead.

15.      Each human being from birth to death performs the act of breathing, inhaling, retaining and exhaling.

16.      With each inhalation he absorbs not only air, but also ether or Pranic energy, which interpenetrates the air.

17.      Air is inhaled through the nostrils—the right nostril and the left nostril.

18.      The air inhaled passes through the interior of the nose, the pharynx, the larynx, the windpipe and the bronchial tubes and enters the lungs.

19.      The lungs receive the air inhaled and absorb the oxygen in the air, which mixes with the blood.

20.      When the oxygen comes in contact with the blood, a form of combustion takes place and the blood takes up the oxygen and releases the carbonic acid gas which is ejected from the lungs at each exhalation.

21.      The Hindu Scientists discovered that the breath does not always flow at the same time from both nostrils. They found that the breath flows through one nostril at a time, and from time to time during each day it flows for short intervals from both nostrils.

22.      Instead of finding irregularity or want of uniformity in the flow of breath in human beings—nay in all breathing things—they found law, order and rhythm which governs all manifestations of the Universe—from the most insignificant or trivial to the most stupendous.

23.      They discovered that in persons of normal health, the breath flows for nearly sixty minutes or one hour through one nostril and then changes to the other to flow for a period of the same duration, i.e., one hour.

24.      Every hour the breath-flow changes from one nostril to the other, thus for each day of twenty-four hours, the breath flows for twelve alternate hours through the left nostril and the other twelve alternate hours through the right nostril.

25.      When one nostril is in flow there will be no flow from the other, till the time comes for the breath flow to change to the other.

26.      There are two nerve currents in the spinal column called Pangala and Ida. There is a hollow canal called Sushumana running through the spinal cord.

27.      Every time we breathe, air as well as ether travels along either Ida nerve or Pingala Nerve and after circulating up and down passes out through the nostrils.

28.      The Ida nerve begins in the left nostril, at the root of the nose just where the left nostril converges into the right, passes through the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, runs along the left side of the spinal cord, and ends at the lower end of the spine.

29.      Similarly the Pingala nerve begins from the right nostril, passes through the cerebellum and medulla oblongata, runs through the right side of the spine and ends at its base.

30.      The Sushumana nerve or canal, though not directly connected with either of the nostrils, begins from the base of the brain or the medulla oblongata, runs down the central cavity of the spinal column and ends at the coccyx, where Pingala, Ida, and Sushumana are connected.

31.      Within the root of the nose, where the two nostrils converge and where Ida and Pingala nerves begin, is one of the most vital spots in the body. This spot is very sensitive and manifests a peculiar kind of intelligence.

32.      The roots of the Ida and Pingala nerves are located here. Their sensitiveness and intelligence are displayed in selecting etheric electrons from each breath of air, which passes through the nostrils.

33.      Within the interior chamber of each nostril there is a gate or shutter of cartilaginous formation. These gates are controlled from this vital centre. When the breath flows through one nostril, its gates stand open, while that of the other remains closed. This spot is a vital centre, because health or disease, success or failure, gain or loss, life or death are the results which accrue from the way this centre acts.

34.      The planetary rays also converge at this spot and control its functions, and at this spot is located the Helm which controls human life. Therefore a Yogi must learn to control this vital centre and change the flow of breath as required for securing desired results.

35.      When the Pingala nerve or the right nostril is in flow, the Ida nerve lies inactive or dormant, and the gate of the left nostril remains obstructed. Similarly, when the Ida nerve or the left nostril is in flow, the Pingala nerve lies dormant, and the gate of the right nostril remains shut. But when the Sushumana nerve or both nostrils are in flow, the gates of both of them lie ajar and both Pingala and Ida nerves are fully active.

36.      When the right nostril is in flow, from each inhalation of air, the Pingala Nerve selects the positive electrons contained in the ether which interpenetrates the air, and carries a current of positive electro-magnetism down the right side of the spine.

37.      Because the right side is positive, people in whom the right nostril flow is predominant, evince positive characteristics, such as martial spirit and sometimes unusual aggressiveness.

38.      In certain males, unbridled sexual passion is the result of an excessive flow of the right nostril.

39.      Similarly, when the left nostril is in flow, the Ida nerve carries currents of negative electrons down the left side of the spine.

40.      When the left nostril flow is predominant in man, he manifests negative characteristics, such as fear, timidity, submission, humbleness, obedience, etc., and also virtues such as truthfulness, kindness, benevolence, reverence, and spirituality.

41.      The positive electro-magnetic currents and the negative electro-magnetic currents which run alternately down Pingala and Ida nerves respectively, meet at the Solar Plexus and other Plexi of the Sympathetic Nervous System, which lie along the spinal column, and supply PRANA, for the conduct of the human machine.

42.      As the numerous branches which Pingala and Ida nerves send out connect all of the Plexi of the Sympathetic System with the Cerebro-Spinal System, much of the etheric energy which is conveyed along Pingala and Ida is stored up in the different plexi, the chief of which is the Solar Plexus.

43.      When Sushumana or both nostrils are equally in flow, both Pingafa and Ida nerves carry their respective currents down the spine at the same time, and these currents as they go down the spine distributing their wealth among the different plexi, carry what remains to the base of the spine, where they meet and supply Prana to the Sushumana Canal.

44.      The Sympathetic Nervous System has its centre in the Solar Plexus, and is the channel of that mental action which unconsciously supports the vital functions of the body.

45.      The connection between the Cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic nervous system is made by the vagus nerve, which passes out of the cerebral region as a portion of the voluntary system to the thorax, sending out branches to the heart and lungs, and finally passing through the diaphragm, it loses its outer coating and becomes identified with the nerves of the Sympathetic System, so forming a connecting link between the two and making man physically a single entity.

46.      The Cerebro-spinal System is the organ of the conscious mind, and the Sympathetic is the organ of the sub-conscious. The Cerebro-spinal is the channel through which we receive conscious perception from the physical senses and exercises control over the movements of the body. This system of nerves has its centre in the brain.

47.      When the Solar Plexus is in active operation, and is radiating Life and Energy and Vitality to every part of the body, and to every one that you meet, the sensations are pleasant, the body is filled with health, and all with whom you come in contact experience a pleasant sensation.
