The connection of these "psychic" nerves to "physical" nerves has become
very evident to me.

What do you mean by the "heart" here though, Harsha? The heart chakra or the
physical blood pumping thing? I can vary heart beats easily and certain
kinds of heart palpitations occur in certain Samadhi states. (Itzak (sp?)
Bentov comes to mind.)

How true and so precise !!!
I can observe chakras quite easily. In fact I have come to conclude that
every nerve end is a tiny chakra as I see every nerve end clearly as a tiny
'whirlying thingy like opening" taking in or giving off energy. In
addition to physical and astral travel (hehehe) I also travel inside the
human body... the most interesting trip I sometimes take is down into the
central spinal column, where five of the seven main chakras often stand out
very clearly, the colours are somewhat different than Leadbeater's, he must
have made depictions of a person whose chakras were not totally in balance.
(Well, whose are eh?)In addition to the five (of seven) main chakras I also
see many other vortices and eddies so to say, all part of additional smaller
nerve plexes. I have been able to see and count the "petals" (more like
colourful interference patterns) inside the central spinal canal. Visualize
the central spinal canal as a tube containing cerebro-spinal fluid (CFS).
Imagine this liquid to be the most clear and crystalline viscous fluid.
Imagine spectral light shining up from the bottom and spectral light shining
down into this viscous tube from the top. The way these two spectral flows
colourfully and vibrationally interfere with each other produces the chakric
characteristics in colours or sounds or other vibrationary patterns
(fragrances even).The brow and crown chakras are different in nature as they
do not emanate from the spine proper but have more to do with the ventricles
(the CFS filled cavities inside the brain), the bit of CFS like gel inside
the pineal gland and the CFS substance inside the meninges that surround our
brain mass. The crown chakra indeed has 960 reverberations sometimes seen as
flower petals, sometimes as gyrations, sometimes as the thousand arms
(rotating) that surround the Buddha, sometimes as peacock feathers with many
coloured eyes, sometimes as a colourful umbra surrounding the whole human
body but often more visible as an umbrella above or indeed underneath us.
Oh, it is so wondrous... and the finest vibrations... You know we are
wondrous beings...

The ultimate sense is of course nonsense :-)
Love,
