This four part lecture series given by Goswami Kriyananda addresses the importance of turning inward to become more aware of consciousness in order to discipline the mind and soften the heart. This allows one, in this lifetime, to neutralize constrictive Karma, to find wisdom, joy and contentment and to help others find the same.
Methods of meditation, visualization, reflection and self-examination which Kriya Yoga teaches to be useful in this evolution of consciousness are discussed. Without the joy of living the mind cannot expand; consciousness cannot evolve. There must be a knowing, an experiential knowledge found through practice, before transcendental consciousness can be found. The journey begins by descending into the subconscious which is the force controlling this life. It ends with the ability to move the consciousness up to the Ajana Chakra where illusions are replaced by true awareness, hearts are healed and constrictive karma is neutralized.
