days on the popular topic of ‘The Law of
Attraction (LOA),’ and Ocular
Transmission enables one to cultivate and
achieve fixed attention, while the pineal
receptor works in drawing the object of
desire to oneself. It is advisable to first
activate the line from the Intelligible or
Solar Heart to the eyes before establishing
your needs and wants, firstly because the
Psyche, seated in the solar centre, is the
best judge for what is right for us and,
secondly, our aims have more chance of
success if we believe in them ‘with all our
heart.’ The reason why so many LOA
practitioners fail in their attempts is they
accept the validity of what their brain-
based ego-self thinks it wants, when all the
while there is a conflict going on at the
subconscious level between the head and
the heart. Passionate beliefs of the heart
will usually trump the capricious fancies of
the brain.
With the two-way function of our
ocular transceivers in mind, what result
could be expected if the age-old art of
‘Sun-gazing’ was applied to transmitting
our intentionally focused energy to the
Sun, instead of just passively receiving its
light and life-force?
The ritual of Sun-gazing has had a
recent surge in popularity. It was practised
by the Ancient Egyptians and Aztecs.
Medical practitioners still warn of its
potential dangers and I stress that my
purpose is not to encourage untrained
persons to engage in it, but rather to
recommend that those interested should
first investigate it thoroughly and talk to
existing practitioners, before embarking on
any experiments of their own. Those who
claim success with it started at a minute or
so per day and built up their exposure over
years. Sunrise and Sunset are the preferred
times to gaze at the Sun. An informative
source is the movie, ‘Eat the Sun’,
available on line 4 , or start with the trailer
on You-Tube 5 .
Among the yogis of India
throughout the centuries there have been
those adept in deriving all their physical
energy requirements from the Sun, while
refraining from eating food. In his best-
selling book Autobiography of a Yogi,
Paramahansa Yogananda wrote of one
such lady called Giri Bala and says to her,
“Your nourishment is derived from the
finer energies of the air and sunlight, and
from the cosmic power that recharges your
body through the medulla oblongata.” 6
[Those ‘finer energies’ are also referred to
as the Pneuma, Chi or life-force]. He
predicts that, “Someday scientists will
discover how man can live directly on
solar energy,” comparing it to the way
chlorophyll collects and stores the Sun’s
energy in plants.
Paramahansa Yogananda cites a
speech made by Dr Geo. W Crile in the
USA back in 1933 as follows: “This all
important radiation, which releases
electrical currents for the body’s electrical
circuit, the nervous system, is given food
by the Sun’s rays. Atoms, Dr Crile says,
are solar systems. Atoms are the vehicles
that are filled with solar radiance as so
many coiled springs. These countless
atomfuls of energy are taken in as food.
Once in the human body, these tense
vehicles, the atoms, are discharged in the
body’s protoplasm, the radiance furnishing
new chemical energy, new electrical
currents. ‘Your body is made up of such
atoms,’ Dr Crile said. ‘They are your
muscles, brains, and sensory organs, such
as the eyes and ears’.” 7
This concurs with the Chinese
teachings of the Tao. Here I quote from
‘The Secret Teachings of the Tao Te
Ching’ by Mantak Chia and Tao Huang:
“Taoist practice focuses on restoring this
direct connection with the cosmic source
(light particles) so that we regain the
ability directly live from light energy. As
we develop this capacity, we become less
and less dependent on eating plants and
