Physical control is but the necessary preparation for control of the mind; it is only when mental agitation has been subdued that the process of identification really begins.
According to the state of development of the seeker the process of control differs.
There are five main states of mind described by Bhoja in his commentary on the Yoga Sutras.
(1) The state of dispersion (kshipta-avastha).
(2) The state of confusion, or stupidity (mudha-avastha).
(3) The state of imperfect stability (vikshipta-avastha).
(4) The concentrated state (ekagra-avastha).
(5) The motionless state (nirodha-avastha).
The five states are characterized by a difference in proportion between the three basic tendencies or qualities (gunas) ascending, expanding and descending (sattva, rajas and tamas), generally represented as enlightenment, activity and obscuration-inertia, which are the intrinsic nature of all things.
(1) The state of dispersion is that in which the mental substance (citta), although by its nature predominantly ascending (sattva), is yet impregnated with the other two tendencies; it is completely unstable, constantly thrown from one thing to another; it is thus attracted to the objects of the five senses, sound, form, taste, etc. and has a desire for the marvelous powers called the "attainments" (siddhis). This is the mental state of Genii (Danavas) and Daimons (Daityas).
(2) The state of confusion, or stupidity, is created when in the predominantly ascending mental substance only the opposite descending tendency, tamas, is mixed. It is stupidity because tamas creates inertia or drowsiness (nidra-vritti). The mental substance of Evil Spirits (Pishachas) and Demons (Rakshasas) is of this state.
(3) The state of imperfect stability is that in which the predominantly ascending mental substance is mixed with a certain amount of the expanding tendency only; this creates a certain amount of instability and the mind becomes inclined toward "conformity with eternal law" (dharma), towards knowledge, detachment, and divine glory (aishvarya). The "Embryo of Splendor" (Hiranyagarbha) and other Cosmic Entities, Deities or Angels pertain to this state.
(4) When the descending and expanding tendencies no longer remain even partially, but alone the ascending tendency stands, then only is the mental substance in its state of origin, or true state; this is the "concentrated state", also known as conscious identification (samprajnata-samadhi). In the scriptures of yoga it is called the state of "discriminate illumination" (vivekakhyati). In this state the real nature of things is perceived, the five troubles (kleshas) of man, ignorance, I-conceit, attachment, enmity and fear of death, disappear. All ties are loosened and the mind is prepared for the motionless state.
(5) When the mind realizes that the power of Consciousness (chittashakti) is without change, pure and limitless, and looks at discriminate illumination as to a yet changing, impure, limited state, then this state, freed from all bondage, is known as the motionless state (nirodha avastha), in which the seed even of a delimited form of conscious no longer exists. This state is known to yogis as the state of "seedless identification" (Nir-bija samadhi).

The New Cambrian Explosion
We are on the verge of something that will be bigger than the Cambrian explosion.
For 3 billion years, individual life-forms were so small they could only be seen with a microscope. Then, in a geological eye-blink, a vast cornucopia of macroscopic life appeared. A similar phase- transition is imminent.
We now possess a set of tools that gives us God-like power. With that power comes God-like moral responsibility. We have, or will soon have: the ability to manipulate our genes at will, access to virtually unlimited free energy and real-time full-spectrum communications abilities. This will allow for the birth of a plethora of communities that will take on the aspects of super- beings. We know these now as governments, cultures, societies, corporations, religions, individuals etc. However, with the new technology, that is about to change.
The new communications tools mean Democracy can be made to function in real-time; creating communal super-brains. The new genetic tools mean some people will begin to manipulate their own genes in order to become immortal super-beings. The unlimited energy supplies will give us super-powers.
Despite efforts by some power-holders to stop this wave of change, it is inevitable. It cannot be stopped, only channeled.
That means it is of the utmost urgency for humanity to gather all its collective wisdom in order to make the change a benevolent one. We will need to fashion a base for this transformation. It must be like a perfect diamond, reflecting from every angle the desires and wishes of all creatures, great and small.
I believe the very core of this diamond can be fashioned out one moral principle of the greatest purity. It is what I call the Sudra principle.
The Sudra were the original aboriginal inhabitants of India. When the Aryan invaders came, part of the Sudra's folk knowledge was taken and incorporated into the belief system of the invaders, the rest was destroyed. The Sudra were then forbidden from possessing knowledge. They punished any Sudra who learned to read and write by cutting his or her tongue out. Then, for thousands of years, these people toiled as slaves, imprisoned by their ignorance.
Such a thing must never be allowed to happen again. Hence the Sudra principle: any change is allowed as long as there are no losers.
Another way of looking at it is to examine the base of what we call good and evil. Good is when life energy increases, evil is when it decreases.
In times of plenty, life increases, leading to more and more cooperation, bigger communities and more complexity. Evolution is powered then mainly by the forces of reproduction. Creatures that produce the most offspring prevail but, even those with less offspring continue to reproduce and change for the better. The collective knowledge gathered by life over its 3.5 billion-year experience of various times of plenty can be thought of as the wisdom of the good.
In times of famine, there is strife, communities dissolve and evolution is powered by the strong eating the weak. Knowledge gathered by life over such periods can be thought of as the wisdom of the bad. The Asians call this Yin and Yang.
Life is now headed for what is likely to be a billions of years long, and exponentially expanding, period of Yang or plenty. However, we cannot know when hard times or new enemies will come again and thus, we will need to maintain and nurture all the life knowledge gathered in bad times.
With this in mind, let us now consider the principle governing body of our present world. In ancient Babylonia there emerged a proto- brain, ancient and powerful, that evolved for millenia. It was a gathering of the brightest minds, centered around a single uber- mind, who ruled over the masses. In Europe, this type of gathering came to be known as the illuminati. For centuries it functioned in a way that brought civilization to new heights. There was a gathering of the self-appointed best and brightest who strived to pool their collective wisdom in order to do the greatest good for the greatest number. They achieved marvels and dominated the world for over 3 centuries.
At their core was a family of what may have been the most intelligent humans ever born: the Rothschilds. They pooled their collective knowledge and made sure it was successfully transmitted and built upon from generation to generation. However, they faced discrimination because of their Jewish ancestry and were forced to hide in the shadows. Their secret government was the Freemasons. At the top sat the Illuminati. At the very center sat a grand patriarch or king. Their source of power was control over money and knowledge. With the demise of the Ming Emperors they took on the role of the most highly evolved form of collective mind on the planet.
Unfortunately, it was fatally flawed by arrogance, racism and an inability to form equal relations with other cultures. It was thus unable to truly control the world.
Nonetheless, it was they who conceived of, and financed, the American Revolution. When America became isolationist, detached from world events and hard to control, the Rothschilds mounted a long campaign to get control of America. They succeeded, at last, through their agent John Rockefeller.
John Rockefeller and his cronies usurped the throne of the Western uber-mind. It was then the nightmare began. He conceived of a horrific long-term plan to enslave the human race. His idea was to enforce total, collective control over all humans. The final vision was to install mind-control devices in the brains of all his subjects. Eventually mankind would evolve into a single brain: His brain. Absolute power made him criminally insane. His plan meant all other human brains on the planet would be crushed into slavery worse than that of the Sudra.
To achieve this long-term goal, humanity needed to be captured and enslaved. To do this he relied mainly on the wisdom of the evil. This meant traumatizing humanity into submission through war and brainwash. The twentieth century became one of horror and destruction for both humans and nature.
The final denouement was supposed to be an Armagedon created by him to purge the world of foreign peoples he could not control. The humans who survived would all have mind-control chips put into their brains.
Fortunately for us all, the Rockefellers finally stand defeated. Humanity is about to wake up from a long and terrible nightmare.
The brilliant minds gathered inside the U.S. armed and intelligence forces will no longer have to spend their time and brain-power on behalf of an insane man. This means that instead of contemplating war scenarios and studying cryptography, they will take on the job of helping humanity navigate into the future. They could start by eliminating poverty, environmental destruction, ignorance and disease from the planet.
The new areas of study for the brilliant mathematicians they employ will be things like Fibonacci numbers, probability theory, fractal expansion theory, thermodynamic phase changes and who knows what other incredible things.
We are about to enter an age of wonder.

The Subtle Body
The division of the human being into a body and a soul is quite insufficient to explain the structure of the human being. The Hindus consider that three main elements contribute to the formation of a living being. They are the Self or spirit, the subtle body and the gross body.
The Individual Self, or Atman is a fragment of the Total Being, indivisible and undifferentiated. Just as the space enclosed within a pitcher is in no way really differentiated from the rest of space, so likewise the fragment of the Universal Self enclosed within the human being remains the indivisible part of the Total Self.
This fragment of the Total Self is enclosed within seven sheaths, six of which pertain to the subtle body, the seventh being the gross body.
The subtle or transmigrating body is the essential part of the human individuality; made of seventeen elements, it remains when the body is destroyed and lives through the lengthy cycle of births and deaths until its dissolution at the time the living being reaches its aim of final liberation.
The subtle body is generally considered to be made of seventeen elements: five senses of perception, five senses of action, five vital energies, mind (manas) and intellect (Buddhi, which includes the "notion of I-ness", Ahamkara).
Just as the relation of the chrysalis to the butterfly, so the subtle body is inverted in regard to the gross body. Their relation is sometimes symbolized by two interwoven inverted triangles. This is why the most abstract state of subtle manifestation is found in the Root-center, the Muladhara chakra.
The subtle body is connected with the gross body at several points. These are called the knots or Centers and are sometimes represented as lotuses. In these Centers the subtle nerves and arteries of the subtle body are connected to the physical nerves through which they receive the perception of the sense organs and through which they communicate to the body the reaction of the subtle body and the orders of the Conscious.
Only the outer nerves of the subtle centers can be seen physically and their convergence observed.

The Thirty Subsidiary Attainments
In addition to the eight main Attainments, there are thirty subsidiary ones which are gained through simple processes of concentration.
(1) THE ATTAINMENT OF THE RESULT OF MENTAL CONTROL (nirodha parinama siddhi) is the fruit of self-control and of concentration on the three kinds of results, those due to natural laws (dharma), to particularities (lakshana) and to conditions (avastha). With this Attainment the adept knows the past, the present and the future.
(2) THE ATTAINMENT OF WORDS AND THEIR MEANING. Words, meanings and knowledge of them are the three aspects of an indivisible entity. By concentrating on them separately, the adept understands the language of all creatures.
(3) THE KNOWLEDGE OF PREVIOUS BIRTHS is attained by concentrating on the marks they have left on our being.
(4) THOUGHT-READING is done by concentrating on the faculty of knowing.
(5) TO BE INVISIBLE. By concentrating on the form of the body, the radiance by which it is perceived becomes dulled and the light emanating from the eyes of others can no longer establish contact with the body of the adept. The same is true for the other senses.
(6) THE KNOWLEDGE OF DEATH. By concentrating on the nature of the actions which yield immediate results and that of those which give results later, the adept understands the nature of death and its process.
(7) THE POWER OF THE SOUL (atma bala) or, OF THE WHOLE MIND (purna mano bala) is obtained by concentrating on the power of friendship, of enjoyment, of pity, of detachment. By this attainment the powers connected with these are obtained.
(8) ACQUIRING THE PHYSICAL POWER OF ALL CREATURES is obtained by concentrating on their power.
(9) TO KNOW THINGS SUBTLE, HIDDEN, FAR AWAY, is attained by attracting the light of Nature to subtle things and concentrating on it.

The Dragon :
Of the four symbolic animals which figure prominently in Oriental
mythology – the dragon, the unicorn, the tortoise, and the phoenix –
the dragon is the most important.
Dragons are immortal. They live beneath the earth, in the sea, or in
the air, and though there are not many dragons, their number can increase
because another fabulous creature – half lizard , half snake – becomes a
dragon at the age of a thousand years.
The dragon’s appearance is fierce, with horns atop its head, protruding
demonic eyes, scales running down its neck to its flaming tail, eagle claws,
and the paws of a tiger; yet it is not a symbol of evil, but rather of power,
nobility, and intelligence.
