Last update Mar 16, 1995

I will append later some additional information about other ways to realize
Merkabah, for now:

   * The Teaching Of The MER-KA-BA (Drunvalo Melchizedek)
   * Merkabahs and UFOs (Iris Clark)

Beside, Interdimensional Traveling will give you some additional background
of Mer-Ka-Ba, and especially Beam- Spaceships discuss the difference
between internal and external realized Mer-Ka-Ba.

                       The Teaching Of The MER-KA-BA

                    The Teaching On Spherical Breathing

                          By Drunvalo Melchizedek

Gabriel Hettes (HettesG@darden.gbus.virginia.edu) 21 Dec 94 transcribed:

Like the sun, we must breath, radiating out to all life. And from all life
we will receive our manna.

Begin by creating a place in your home that is used only for this
meditation. Make a space where no one will walk through or disturb you,
possibly in your bedroom. A small altar with a candle and a cushion or
pillow to sit upon may be helpful. Make this place holy. It is here that
you will learn to create the MER-KA-BA around your body and make conscious
contact with your higher self.

Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you
are a conscious breather, remembering with each breath your intimate
connection with God.

To begin the meditation, first sit down and relax. Let the worries of the
day go. Breathe rhythmically and shallow. Be aware of your breath and
relax. When you feel the tension begin to fade, begin to open your heart.
Feel Love. Feel Love for all life everywhere. Continue to breathe
rhythmically, being aware of your breath, and feel the Love moving through
your spirit. When the FEELING of love is in your beingness, you are ready
to begin to move towards the experience to the MER-KA-BA. Without this
Love, no amount of knwoledge will create the MER-KA-BA. To the degree you
are able to Love, will be the degree you will be able to experience the
MER-KA-BA.

The following is an overview of the meditation to reach the MER-KA-BA.
There are seventeen breaths to reach completion. The first six are for
balancing of the polarities within your eight electical circuits, and ,
also, for the cleansing of these circuits. The next seven, which are quite
different, are to reestablish the proper pranic flow through your body, and
to recreate Spherical Breathing within your body. The fourteenth breath is
unique unto itself. It changes the balance of pranic energy within your
body from third dimensional to fourth dimensional awareness. The last three
breaths recreate the rotating fields of the MER-KA-BA within and around
your body.

The instructions: The following instructions will be broken down into four
areas: MIND, BODY, BREATH and HEART

FIRST BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Open your heart and feel love for all life. If you cannot do this,
you must at least open to this love as much as is possible for you. This is
the most important instruction of all.

MIND: Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to thge sun,
the point facing to the front for male, the point to the back for females)
filled with the brilliant white light surrounding your body. Visualize it
the best you can. If you cannot visualize it, sense or feel it surrounding
you.

BODY: At the same moment of inhalation, place your hands in the mudra of
your thumb and first finger touching. Remember, lightly touch your fingers,
and do not allow your fingers to touch each other or any other object. Keep
your palms facing up.

BREATH: At this same moment, with empty lungs, begin to breath in a
complete yogic manner. Breathe through your nostrils only, except at
certain places which will be described. Simply put, breath from your
stomach first, then your diaphragm, and finally your chest. Do this in one
movement, not three parts. The exhale is completed either by holding the
chest firm and relaxing the stomach, slowly releasing the air, or by
holding the stomach firm and relaxing the chest. The most important aspect
is that this breathing must be rhythmic. Begin by using seven seconds in
and seven seconds out, but as you get familiar with this meditation, find
your own rhythm. The following instructions for a complete Yogic Breath are
from "the Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" by Yogi Ramacharake. Perhaps this
description will be helpful.

Breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, first filling the lower
part of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the
diaphagm, which descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal
organs, pushing forward the front walls of the abdomen. Then fill the
midddle part of the lungs, pusing out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest.
Then fill the higher portion of the lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus
lifting the chest, including the upper six or even pairs of ribs. At first
reading it may appear that this breath consists of three distinct
movements. This, however, is not the correct idea. The inhalation is
continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lowered diaphragm to the
highest point of the chest in the region of the collar bone, being expanded
with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations, and strive to
attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome the tendency
to divide the inhalation into three movements, and will result in a uniform
continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a few
seconds after a little practice.

Exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a firm position, and drawing the
abdomen in a little and lifting it upward as the air leaves the lungs. When
the air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. A little practice
will render this part of the exercise easy, and the movement once acquired
will be afterward performed almost automatically.

FIRST BREATH: Exhale

HEART: Love

MIND: Become aware of the female tetrahedron, (apex pointing to the earth,
point facing to the back for males, point facing to the front for females),
also filled with the brilliant white light

BODY: Keep the same mudra.

BREATH: Do NOT hesitate at the top of the inhalation to begin the
exhalation. Exhale quite slowly, approximately seven seconds, in the Yogic
manner. When the air is out of the lungs, without forcing, relax the chest
and abdomen and HOLD the breath. When you feel pressure to breathe again,
after about five seconds or so, then do the following:

MIND: Be aware of the flat equilateral triangle at the top of the female
tetrahedron located in the horizontal plane that passes through your chest
at the sternum. In a flash, and with a pulse like energy, send taht
triangular plane down through the female tetrahedron. It gets smaller as it
goe down and pushes out the tip or apex of the tetrahedron all the negative
energy of the mudra or electrical circuit, a light will shoot out of the
apex toward the center of the Earth. The Mind exercise is performed along
with the following BODY movements.

BODY: Move your eyes slightly toward each other, or, in other words,
slightly cross your eyes. Now bring them up to the top of their sockets, or
in other words, look up. Also, this looking up motion should not be
extreme. You will feel a tingling feeling between your eyes in the area of
your third eye . You can now look down to the lowest point you can, as fast
as you can. You should feel an electrical sensation move down your spine.
The MIND and BODY must coordinate the above mental exercis e with the eye
movements. The eyes look down from their up position at the same time the
mind sees the triangular horizontal plane of the female tetrahedron move
down to the apex of the female tetrahedron. This combined exercise will
clean out the negative thoughts and feelings that have entered into your
electrical system. Specifically, it will clean out the part of your
electrical system that is associated with the particular mudra you are
using. Immediately upon pulsing the energy down your spine, you change
mudras to the next one and begin the entire cycle over again. The next five
breaths are a repeat of the first breath with the following mudra changes:

     Second breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together
     Third breath mudra: Thumb and third finger together
     Fourth breath mudra: Thumb and little finger together
     Fifth breath mudra: Thumb and first finger together (same as
     first breath)
     Sixth breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together( same as
     second breath)

The first part, the first six breaths, the balancing of the polarities, and
the cleansing of your electircal system is now complete. You are now ready
for the next part, the next seven breaths.

Here an entirely new breathing pattern begins. You do not need to visualize
the star tetrahedron at this time. Only the tube that runs through the
star, from the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of
the female tetrahedron below your feet, needs to be seen and worked with.
This extends one hand length above your head and one hand length below your
feet. The diameter of YOUR tube will be the size of the hole formed by YOUR
thumb and forefinger touching.

BREATH NUMBER SEVEN: Inhale

HEART: Love. There is another refinement here that can be used after you
have perfected this meditation. It will be discussed in class.

MIND: Visualize or sense the tube running through your body. The instant
you begin the seventh inhale, see the brilliant white light of the prana
moving down the tube from the top and up the tube from the bottom at the
same time. This movement is almost instantaneous. The point where these two
light beams meet within your body is controlled by the mind and is a vast
science known throughout the universe. In this teaching however, we will
only be shown what is necessary , that which will take you from third to
fourth dimensional awareness. In this case you will direct the two beams of
prana to meet at your navel, or more correct, within your body at navel
level, inside the tube. The moment the two beams of prana meet, which is
just as the inhale begins, a sphere of white light or prana is formed at
the meeting point about the size of a grapefruit centered on the tube. It
all happens in an instant. As you continue to take the inhale of the
seventh breath, the sphere of prana begins to concentrate and grow slowly.

BODY For the next seven breaths use the same mudra for both inhale and
exhale, the thumb, first and second touching together palms up.

BREATH: Deep rhythmic Yogic breathing, seven seconds in and seven seconds
out. There is no holding of the breath from now on. The flow of prana from
the two poles will not stop or change in any way when you go from inhale to
exhale. It will be a continuous flow that will not stop for a long as you
breath in this manner, even after death.

SEVENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere centered at the navel continues to grow. By the time
of the full exhale, the prana sphere will be approximately eight or nine
inches in diameter.

BREATH: Do not force the air out of your lungs. When your lungs are empty
naturally, immediately begin the next breath.

EIGHTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Love.

MIND: The prana sphere continues to concentrate life force energy and grow
in size

EIGHT BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere continues to grow in size and will reach maximum
size at the end of this breath. This maximum size is different for each
person. If you put your longest finger in the center of your navel, the
line on your wrist defining your hand will show you the radius of the
maximum size of this sphere for YOU. This sphere of prana cannot grow
larger.

NINTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: The prana sphere cannot grow larger, so what happens is the prana
begins to concentrate within the sphere. The visual appearance is that the
sphere grows BRIGHTER.

BREATH: Sphere grows brighter and brighter as you inhale.

NINTH BREATH: Exhale

BREATH: As you exhale, the sphere continues to grow brighter and brighter.

TENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: About half way through this inhale, as the sphere continues to
brighter, the prana sphere reaches critical mass. The sphere ignites into a
sun, a brilliant blinding ball of white light. You are now ready for the
next step.

TENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: At the moment of exhale, the small sphere two hand lengths in
diameter bulges to expand. In one second, combined with the breath talked
about below, the sphere expands quickly out to the sphere of Leonardo, out
at your finger tips of your extended arms. Your body is now completely
enclosed within a huge sphere of brilliant white light. You have returned
to the ancient form of spherical breathing. However, at this point, this
sphere is not stable. You MUST breath three more times to keep the sphere
stable.

BREATH: At the moment of exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow
out your air with pressure. As you feel the sphere begin to bulge, all
within the first second of this exhale, let all of your air out rapidly.
The sphere will expand at that moment.

PART3: ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH BREATH: Inhale and Exhale

MIND: Relax and just feel the flow of the prana flowing from the two poles
and meeting at the navel and then expanding out to the large sphere

BREATH: Breath rhythmically and deep. At the end of the thirteenth breath
you have stabilized the large sphere and are ready for the important 14th
breath.

THE FOURTEENTH BREATH

HEART: Love

MIND: On the inhale of the 14th breath, at the very beginning of the
breath, move the point where the two beams of prana meet from the navel to
the sternum, the fourth dimensional chakra. The entire large sphere, along
with the original sphere, which is also still contained within the large
sphere, moves up to the new meeting point within the tube. Though this is
very easy to do, it is an extremely powerful movement. Breathing from this
new point within the tube will inevitably change your awareness from third
to fourth dimensional consciousness, or from earth consciousness to Christ
consciousness. It will take awhile, but as I have said , it is inevitable.

BODY: This mudra will be used for the rest of the meditation. Place the
left palm on top of the right palm for males and the right palm on top of
the left palm for females. It is a mudra that relaxes.

BREATH: Rhythmic breath and deep. However, if you continue to breathe from
your Christ center without moving on to the MER-KA-BA, which is what is
recommended until you have made contact with your Higher Self, then shift
to a shallow breath. In other words, breath rhythmically but in a
comfortable manner where your attention is more on the flow of energy
moving up and down the tube meeting at the sternum and expanding out to the
large sphere. Just feel the flow. Use your feminine side to just be. At
this point don t think, just breath, feel and be. Feel your connection to
All Life through the Christ Breath. Remember your intimate connection with
God.

The Mer-Ka-Ba, The Vehicle Of Ascension

The Last Three Breaths

You are asked not to attempt this FOURTH PART until you have made contact
with your Higher Self, AND your Higher Self has given you permission to
proceed. This part is to be taken seriously. The energies that will come
into and around your body and spirit are of tremendous power. If you are
not ready, you could hurt yourself. If your Higher Self gives you
permission to enter into the MER-KA-BA, then don t fear, for you will be
ready.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Inhale:

HEART: Love

MIND: Be aware of the whole star tetrahedron. Realize that there are three
whole star tetrahedrons superimposed over each other. One is the body
itself, and is locked in place and never, except under certain conditions,
moves. It is placed around the body according to maleness or femaleness.
The second whole star tetrahedron is male in nature, it is electrical, is
literally the human mind and rotates counter-clockwise relative to your
body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your left
side. The third whole star tetrahedron is female in nature, is magnetic, is
literally the human emotional body and rotates clockwise relative to your
body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your right
side.

To be clear, we are not telling you to rotate the male tetrahedron one way
and the female the other way. When we say rotate the whole star
tetrahedron, we mean the whole thing.

On the inhale of the fifteenth breath, as you are inhaling, you will say to
yourself, in your head, the code words, EQUAL SPEED. This will tell your
mind that you want the two rotatable whole star tetrahedrons to begin
spinning in opposite directions at equal speeds at the time of the exhale.
Meaning that for every complete rotation of the mind tetrahedrons, there
will be a complete rotation of the emotional tetrahedrons.

BODY: Continue the mudra of the folded hands from now on.

BREATH: Breath Yogic and rhythmically an deeply again, but only for the
next three breaths, after that return to the shallow breathing.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. In an instant, they
will be moving at exactly one third the speed of light at their outer tips.
You probably will not be able to see this because of their tremendous
speed, but you can feel it. What you have just done is to start the MOTOR
of the MER-KA-BA. You will not go anywhere, or have an experience. It is
just like starting the motor of a car, but having the transmission in
neutral.

BREATH: Make a small hole with your lips just like you did for breath
Number Ten. Blow out in the same manner, and as you do, feel the two sets
of tetrahedrons take off spinning.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: This is the most amazing breath. On the inhale, as you are inhaling,
say to yourself, in your head, THIRTY-FOUR - TWENTY-ONE. This is the code
to your mind to spin the two sets of tetrahedrons at a ratio of 34-21.
Meaning the Mind tetrahedrons spinning to the left will go around 34 times
while the emotional tetrahedrons spinning to the right will go around 21
times. As the two sets speed up the ratio will remain constant.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and Yogic.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: As you let out the breathe, the two sets of tetrahedrons take off
from their one third speed of light setting to two third speed of light in
an instant. As they approach two thirds speed of light speed a phenomena
takes place. A disk about 55 feet in diameter forms around the body at the
level of the base of the spine. And the sphere of energy that is centered
around the two sets of tetrahedrons forms with the disk to create a shape
that looks like a FLYING SAUCER around the body. This energy matrix is
called the MER-KA-BA. However, it is not stable. If you see or sense the
MER-KA-BA around you at this point, you will know it to be unstable. It
will be slowly wobbling. Therefore Breath Number Seventeen is necessary.

BREATH: Same as breath 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out
with pressure. It is at this point that the speeds increases. As you feel
the speed increasing, let out all your breath with force. This action will
cause the higher speed to be fully obtained and the MER-KA-BA to be formed.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Remember, unconditional love for all life must be felt through out
all of this meditation or no results will be realized.

MIND: As you breathe in, say to yourself, in your head, the code NINE
TENTHS THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This code will tell your mind to increase the
speed of the MER-KA-BA to nine tenths the speed of light which will
stabilize the rotating field of energy. It will also do something else.
This third dimensional universe that we live in is tuned to 9/10 the speed
of light. Every electron in your body is rotating around every atom in your
body at 9/10 the speed of light. This is the reason this particular speed
is selected.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and in a Yogic manner.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The speed increases to 9/10 the speed of light and stabilizes the
MER-KA-BA.

BREATH: Same as breath 15 and 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow
out with pressure. As you feel the speed take off, let all your breath out
with force. You are now in your stable and Third dimensionally tuned
MER-KA-BA. With the help of your Higher Self, you will understand what this
really means.

EIGHTEENTH BREATH:

This very special breath will not be taught here. You must receive it from
Your Higher Self. It is the breath that will take you through the speed of
light into the fourth dimension. You will disappear from this world and
reappear in another one that will be your new home for awhile. This is not
the end, but the beginning of an ever expanding consciousness returning you
HOME to your FATHER.

                             Merkabahs and UFOs

                         Thoughts on Keys Of Enoch

                               by Iris Clark

Higher evolutionary trends are taking us far beyond what was thought
possible just a few decades ago. But space consciousness has been extended
so that everyone, not only the few, can tune into far horizons. No longer
do we think of our beautiful green planet as being isolated from other
space systems. We think of ourselves as being part of the whole.

The Keys of Enoch is called The Book of Knowledge because it reveals the
God Plan, as opposed to the counterfeit plan that fallen luminaries have
guided us into for these many centuries. Humankind has been subjected to
their sway in every department of education, religion and economics.
Hopefully, this new truth will eventually eliminate such negativity. Our
utmost desire is to be free.

"Understand, O man of Earth, that you are extended to the worlds of Light
through a divine network of language. We must decode this language (of the
soul) by decoding the brain mechanism of sensory storage which emanates
from Hierarchical memory source." Realize, dear ones, that the brain is a
human computer that can be aware of its higher potential, the oversoul. No
longer does humankind need be trapped in the outer senses when it is
discovered that there are five higher senses with which to operate in vast
dimensions.

We all cherish freedom, total freedom, but that is almost courting the
impossible. "As a man thinketh, so is he." At least what we can do is to
realize that we each are the captains of our own fate; we truly create our
own world from be ginning to end, so we have no one else to blame but
ourselves, if our insight will allow that. Most of us tend to blame others
for our plight.

Fortunately, our God Source has given us all the tools necessary to redeem
ourselves from this sensual bind of the Earth's illusion, this tinseled
realm that keeps us so Earth-bound. Of course, when we take our stand we
can't hope to keep on going with the herd. It takes a sense of true choice
to choose Light from shades of darkness in work and in play. There are the
lords of Light to answer our prayers to open up the third eye of our own
Christself and become what Jesus admonished: "Ye are Gods!" Does this make
us feel I more responsible? It should, for it is necessary for us to live
up to part of our potential, at least.

There are forces of Light within us and without us available for our use. A
whole network of grids and waves of rays is coming into our realm of
activity. We should become aware of it in the higher evolution. We, as New
Age people, have much of the higher evolution to expect in the future.

There is a whole new world out there in the higher evolution. It is so vast
that our outer senses cannot comprehend its multitudinous facets. We need
to awaken our inner sheaths for this lofty expansion. The tools are there;
but if they have been allowed to atrophy, it may require extended practice
to stir them up again. Response is guaranteed when we make it a game
[play]. Remember that life played in the upper reaches of the mind is
joyous and rewarding. It is also preparation for ascension, not demise.

No matter how young or old we are, it is never too late to begin sorting
out what is necessary for spiritual growth, discarding whatever blocks that
ascending path. This new bombardment of high energy is for our use, to
activate our etheric centers and, in turn, to extend our frequencies.

In The Book of Knowledge, Dr. J. J. Hurtak writes extensively about the
higher forms of space vehicles or what are termed merkabahs - wheels within
wheels, or biosatellites which, until fairly recent times, were totally
unknown. Our education on this urgent subject has been withheld and scoffed
at; but in truth, all life on this planet is related in one way or another
to their reality. Outer space takes on a new significance when we
understand the part these vehicles have played in the past and especially
the part they will play in the future.

We are not referring to the lower forms of UFOs that we are hearing more
about - those that reportedly land and kidnap humans. That type can be
negative in form and practice, and some are even malevolent. To be
forewarned is to be forearmed. No matter how much eagerness one feels or
how tempting an invitation to ride one of these lesser crafts may be, it is
advisable to find out their source and origin first. Those crafts with fuel
projection thrust are not very far advanced. Grotesque creatures should be
avoided. Everyone should know about outer space, but it seems that we have
to find out for ourselves until our politicians realize that this cover-up
can't go on much longer. Then too, it is possible that their alliance has
been made with the wrong ones. Where ignorance is involved, there is a lack
of discrimination in selection.

Space commanders of the merkabah are benign and never coerce because their
origin is ethereal and connected to our same divine Source. Yet when it is
necessary, they can materialize. The biosatellites of great dimensions
seldom land, but send their small crafts down for exploration and for
pickups. Then, of course, one should be able to detect their high
vibrations. During times of Earth disruptions, it may be possible to see
and contact space crews who come Earth-ward to lend support. Some are
already here.
