The ecstatic visions of the mystic, the creations of genius, the performance of the prodigy, the phenomenon of the medium, and the nightmares of the insane are all, without exception, the products of this enhanced flow of a more potent form of bioenergy into the brain.
In the case of the born mystic, the
genius, the medium, and the prodigy, the brain cells are already
attuned to the flow of bioenergy of a higher potency. But in the case
of those in whom the power is aroused as a result of certain
disciplines, a certain period of time is needed to accustom the brain
to the altered condition of this force. This is the most critical
period in the discipline of yoga and other spiritual exercise.
Even
in the case of individuals born with this peculiarity, crises
continue to occur throughout life.
The susceptibility to mental
derangement in the case of some of the most outstanding specimens of
the latter, like Newton, is also due to this fact. Research into
kundalini must make it possible to avert these crises in the lives of
the most creative section of the race. The crises in the lives of the
great mystics and saints – their tormenting desire for spiritual
experience which sometimes goes to the point of mania – also owe
their origin to the effect of this psychic radiation on the
brian.
The mystic can attain such a state of absorption in his
visionary experience that he can become entirely oblivious to the
world and his surroundings. The very words “trance” or “ecstacy”
denote this state of intense engrossment. This is also one of the
characteristics of samadhi. The individual is lost to the world round
him. To a lesser extent this is also the case with creative
genius.
