Friends often ask me: What is the essence of the Yoga of the Inner Light?
The answer is simple, yet profound: if you walk this path, you will come to know who you truly are. And once you know that, directly, in your own experience, you are free. Free of the compulsive ties of the ego.

You will still see the ego arise in your field of awareness, but now you will see it as it is, a functional tool, not your identity. It loses its grip. The process of unconscious identification no longer begins. You are no longer bound.

This Yoga directly connects us with the truth of our being, the luminous core of consciousness itself. We enter this dimension through a simple yet astonishing practice: closing the eyes and gazing into the light that is always there. These lights, called phosphenes, are the beginning. Through them, we learn to look not with the eyes, but into the eyes of consciousness.

What we find is astounding. This consciousness is not limited. It is timeless, dimensionless, and boundless. It is what I sometimes call, playfully but accurately, the ultrasubjective hyperspace—not merely personal, but a space where the archetypal, the symbolic, and the universal converge.

This path reveals the ancient wisdom encoded in sacred symbols and divine forms, as they rise naturally in the inner light. Through this portal, visions emerge: archetypes, deities, angelic beings, geometries, tunnels of light. These are not hallucinations. They are revelations arising from the deep structure of our neurophysiology—what some might call the divine design of the nervous system.

We are built for this.
Our central nervous system is among the most complex structures known in the galaxy. It holds within it the capacity not just to think and feel, but to awaken. To recognize itself as the source. We are wired to become free.

But to awaken, we must refine. As the alchemists said: separate the coarse from the subtle. We must learn to distinguish the mind from awareness, thought from truth. This is the alchemical fire that purifies. And in that fire, we become creators—not gods far away, but expressions of divinity here, now.

Awareness of the present moment is the key. The now is the living doorway. From this space alone can evolving truth arise—not fixed belief, but living truth. And it is only in that clarity that we can begin to act as who we really are.

When we meditate on the inner light, we are gazing into the bioelectrical nature of our own consciousness. The retina, the cortex, the neural networks—all form fields of activation, waves of depolarization and repolarization. When these waves stabilize in silence, the light begins to speak.

You may see radiant geometries—mandalas, yantras, pulsating structures that seem to live and breathe. You may travel through tunnels of light, slowly or with breathtaking speed. You may witness a descending dove of light, or a vast presence entering your field. These are not fantasies. They are sacred encounters—your nervous system revealing the divine codes it carries.

And one day, you may find yourself asking, with eyes closed: What is happening here?

This is the turning point. You are no longer looking for God—you are seeing the divine, inside your own system. The divinity is not elsewhere. It manifests itself in the lights behind your eyes.

This path is not about escape. It is about arrival.
It is not about a god far away, but about becoming who you truly are.

And if you truly see, even once, you will never again live as a slave to the ego.
You will act, speak, and love from the source—from that evolving, radiant center that was always there.

This is the promise of the Yoga of the Inner Light.
This is why I share this with you. Shunyam Adhibhu
