The next meeting with the enlightened master took place in the meditation hall. A crowd began to come together; they all desired to receive the invaluable teachings of Shambala, so that they could later give them to the whole world and save people.

The sermon began in a great, spacious hall. When the Guru came out to meet the people, His face radiated light, love and sympathy. After a prayer, He announced: Let us bow to the Great Divine Power, who gives us Grace and Wisdom. All those present bowed to the greatness of God.

“My beloved” the Guru began, when everyone took his seat “the moment of our dialogue has come. Today I shall reveal to you the way that leads us to the light. The beginning of this way is: asana, pranayama, pratjahara and dharana.

Asana is not just a position of the body nor a kind of yoga gymnastic - as people say in the West. Asanas are a group of elements, which help serving God and looking for God within your beings.  Asanas are like the sign of the cross in a church, like a bow or a genuflection. These actions and positions help the adept to enter into a certain spiritual state.

Outsiders, watching monks praying and bowing, may well think that these religious persons are doing physical exercises and decide that this is useful for health. Although this is undoubtedly also useful for this, it has nothing to do with sports.

The positions are magic positions, used to activate certain channels, chakras and are necessary to establish contacts with the Cosmos and to develop hidden abilities. Asanas are not meant to be performed as single positions, but as complexes of 8, 12, 16 positions, performed according to strictly established ritualistic priority.

The ritualism of each position embodies a certain stage of spiritual practice. For instance, there is a ritual for opening the chakras, where to the seven chakras correspond seven positions. In this complex, one more position - position. 8 - is added in the end for relaxation, the shivasana.

There is a ritual called "Avatara Vishnu", where each posistion corresponds to one of God's embodiment. An adept carrying out these asanas enters into each avatara, transmuting from and individual ego into a divine being. Another complex, the ritual the "Levels of consciousness" allows people to experience the evolution of their beings within the Universe, starting from the primordial plasma, and then moving onto the plants and animal kingdom, human beings and semi-gods!

As you can see, asanas are not at all gymnastic, but ritualistic positions, which give people the possibility of experiencing the truth not only on the mental, but also on the energetic and physical levels. Through performing these asanas, people plunge deeply within their being, change the way of breathing, feel the inner flow of their energy and direct it in a proper way to accumulate in specific chakras. In addition, people should also repeat mantras either mentally or verbally and visualize some  important images in whole sincerely, thus connecting with the Cosmos.

I shall show you these ancient rituals of Shambala, as they give wonderful results.

Once, when I was in the Altai Mountains my teacher Altai Kam introduced me to the first of these rituals. It was a ritual called: "Levels of consciousness". In an exalted and reverent state of being, I started to carry it out. All of a sudden I stopped perceiving myself as a human being and, although my body kept on making one asana after the other, my consciousness detached itself from my body and I perceived my being as an infinite emptiness, a life-giving vacuum, a divine consciousness. Then a blow of plasma came out of me, and began to fizz away in all directions, forming galaxies, stars and planets. I was that primordial plasma. Afterwards I contracted and turned into a group of minerals, then I transformed into plants, animals, human beings and semi-gods. In other words, through these positions, I experienced the whole evolution of the Universe.

Now each one of you can ascertain the wonderful influence of these rituals passed down by ancient Wise Men to us all. 

After the practice the pupils again came to listen to the sermon of the man from Sirius. Altai Kagan began to answer the many questions asked by the public:

“What can I do? I have not enough time to do the ritual twice a day?” asked a woman.

“This indicates that you have other priorities” replied the Teacher “Just think how much time you waste travelling in the local transport, in limitless queuing, in waiting at work. You could use all this time to carry out you spiritual practices. In the middle of crowds in the underground or at work you can do even the most sophisticated poses, if you do this in the subtle body. When you know the asana well enough, you may do it in your imagination, feeling your body taking the specific position. In this way you may practice anywhere. This practice gives wonderful results for the development of the subtle body. If you can carry out the complete ritual without any distraction, you will master travelling no matter how long a distance, levitate, materialize things and even walk through walls and tele-transport your body. This is the practice of occult yoga, the yoga of super-abilities, which I will teach you later”.

“How did you manage to develop your abilities” asked a boy.

“So that I could practice the development of my subtle body, I agreed to be put into a stone coffin, where I could not even move. Before that I purified myself and fasted and my food consisted only of honey, grown out wheat, special grass and roots.

I spent forty days in that coffin. I performed all asana rituals, and on the fifth day I began to feel comfortable and felt that my physical body did no longer exist.  In my dreams I me my teacher Altai Kam: he was also there as a thin sheet. He started to share with me different knowledge concerning the travelling to other worlds, to the past and the future. At last, I managed to master all abilities of the subtle body and, in the end, I even tele-transported my body out of the coffin. I used both: my physical and subtle bodies at once, and they simultaneously did different actions”.

After answering many questions, the Guru performed a hypnosis session to awaken this ability in the people present.

“Undoubtedly, there are those among you, who are inclined to hypnosis” said the Teacher “and those who are not easy to mesmerise and require a longer time before they can be hypnotised” 

Now let us see who is more easily subject to hypnosis and who is more capable to become a hypnotist. If a person is inclined to hypnosis, he may be taught to do whatever you like and very easily. He may master foreign languages, learn the art of karate, become a healer or a psychic.

I am going now to teach many of you the art of healing, so that you can help others to get rid of their diseases. Now, lock your hands and raise them up to the level of the neck”.

People did as He told them.

“Now, when I say ‘3’ many of you will not be able to break the hands apart. So, ‘1’, the hands are closed ‘2!’ you cannot take the hands apart ‘3!’, try  to separate your hands. Nearly the 80 % of people were unable to take their hands apart. Those of you who sit in the first row and cannot open the hands, please, come up to the stage”.

A great crowd walked up the stage, keeping their hands clasped together.

“When I say ‘3’, you will fall asleep, but you'll keep on standing and hearing my voice. So  ‘1’. ..you begin to sleep, ‘2’….  you get into a hypnotic sleep and keep the connection with  my voice and me, ‘3’ … you are sleeping deeply, but go on listening to me.

All the present closed their eyes, their faces became relaxed, the breathing smooth. The Guru walked up to a woman, touched her and said:

“You speak English quite well. Tell us who you are, how old you are and what is your name?” The woman began to speak very good English into the microphone. Then the Guru approached a young man, touched him and asked:

“You speak Chinese very well. Tell me, please, what is today’s date and what have you been doing this morning?” All of a sudden the young man began to speak Chinese. The Guru came up to other people and they all began to speak different languages. Then he said to a guy:

“You are a Shaolin warrior. Show us the art of a battle with a shadow”. Suddenly the boy transformed and began to perform precisely and accurately battle strokes just like in the TV hits.

Another elderly lady began to dance gracefully like an Indian woman.

The audience was greatly surprised by this.

At the end the Guru said:

“You will keep all these abilities even after the hypnosis session and will feel fine. Now you have a great health. You'll come to yourself after I count up to three:  ‘1’…’2’….’3’….Open your eyes!

All present immediately came to themselves, their faces lit with happiness and joy.

“Now go to your places and take your seats”, said the Guru: “I am going to teach you spiritual healing with the help of an hypnotic session. Now, when I say ‘3’ you will get into hypnosis, but keep a connection with me. ‘1’…..your eyes are closing, you begin to fall asleep, ‘2’…you get into the hypnotic state, but you hear my voice, ‘3’….

A huge hall full of people (with the exception of a few dozens) fell into a deep sleep.

“Feel the presence of the Divine Power, see God. He comes to you, He grants you healing power”.

People raised up their face. Hope was written all over them and tears of happiness and gratitude were streaming down them.

“From now on each one of you will easily come into contact with God and have healing powers. You will have the knowledge needed to see how to heal people. Try to do good deeds; you will direct the healing power to this person and this will soon recover. From now on your interest in healing will never die, you will cure all your friends and relatives;  your healing power and knowledge will increase session after session,  you will be able to cure people no matter what disease the suffer from.

And now, after I say’3’, you come out of this hypnotic state, keeping the new abilities and knowledge inside of you. So, ‘1’… you feel good, you enjoy perfect health, ‘2’…. you easily return to your usual state, 3 ...open your eyes!”

The hall was full of the joyful and glowing faces of those who had received this great and powerful gift.

The meeting with the wise Teacher was over.

AUM!
