yoga and magic

Many of you have heart about yoga by the life style magazines
and the western gym classes.
thus classes has nothing to do with the real yoga.
thus classes are just replications of the yoga postures
but are characterized by a lack of philosophic background.
the true yoga is an occult tradition.
Here we examine yoga as a tool to make evolve your magical ability
The magician uses the powers of universe. so as stronger is his union with the universe
more stronger will be his spells.
First of all we must examine the meaning of the word "yoga".
Yoga is first of all the union of the subject and the object of
consciousness: of the seer with the thing seen.
Now, there is nothing strange of wonderful about all this.
The study of the principles of Yoga is very useful to the person who want to cast spells, if only to make him think about the nature of the world as he supposes that he knows it.
Let us consider a piece of cheese. We say that this has certain
qualities, shape, structure, colour, solidity, weight, taste, smell,
consistency and the rest; but investigation has shown that this is
all illusory. Where are these qualities? Not in the cheese, for
different observers give quite different accounts of it. Not in
ourselves, for we do not perceive them in the absence of the cheese.
All 'material things,' all impressions, are phantoms.
In reality the cheese is nothing but a series of electric
charges. Even the most fundamental quality of all, mass, has been
found not to exist. The same is true of the matter in our brains
which is partly responsible for these perceptions

So the yoga helps you to understand the true nature of things and what is behind the
illusory world.
This is the more powerful tool of magician. to know that all around him are just illusions
So he can manifest his will upon the phenomenas.

Some yoga terms are:
Dharana -- Control of though

Yama (Self control or discipline).
For example control of the sences the mind and desire
Nyiamas: the propriate lifestyle
By the Asana one can experience the unity of body and mind.
Asana is a dynamic position, in which the practitioner is perfectly poised between activity and nonactivity.
Pranayama. the control of the breath.

In Dhyana, the person which meditating is not conscious of the act of meditation (for example. is not aware that s/he is meditating) but is only aware that s/he exists (consciousness of being), and aware of the object of meditation


Dhāraṇā may be translated as "holding", "holding steady", "concentration" or "single focus". The prior limb Pratyahara invoves withdrawing the senses from external phenomena. Dhāraṇā builds further upon this by refining it further to ekagrata or ekagra chitta, that is single-pointed concentration and focus,

in Dharana "The mind thinks about one object and avoids other thoughts."
as the meditator becomes more advanced, consciousness of the act of meditation disappears, and only the consciousness of being/existing and the object of concentration exist (in the mind).
