十年間的男人課程 ( The Ten-Year Men’s Course )

 




由加利福尼亞州古魯班達·辛格·卡爾薩·波莫納所撰,1979年發表在《被喚作Siri Singh Sahib 的人》一書中。 


Siri Singh Sahib 花了九年時間勸誘、挑戰和鼓舞人們走向神性意識,直到他同意該是時候教授他的第一個正式的男人課程了。 但人們其實不應該被愚弄,而真正的男

人課程在那之前不久就開始了。 就在他下飛機第一次踏上美國土地的那天。


我得到了最大的課程就是在我長大後僅僅只是見到Siri Singh Sahib。 他的尊嚴、力量和自信都立即激發了我想要像他一樣的慾望。 他的奧林匹亞姿態、他臨在的內在寂靜、他儲備的力量,給人一個前所未有的男子陽剛之氣。 如果一個強大的人物能給一個人的生活留下印記,那麼Siri Singh Sahib給成千上萬男人的生活留下了深刻的印象。 他們每個人都在不同程度上已經轉變,並試圖效仿他。


做一個男人不是做你自己以外的什麼;而是顯化你本質的自我。 昆達里尼瑜伽的第一堂課之一是,一個人擁有一個本質的自我。 那個自我是透過神賜予的容器所表達的,這個容器可以是男性或是女性。 這容器並不像傳統智慧那樣所示是中性的;相反的十年間的男人課程 ,它具有極性。 它有能量流、投射性和特定於其性別的命途。 要在生活中取得成功,一個人必須學會透過他給予的極性,去創造顯化自己。 從第一個「火呼吸」開始,人們可以感覺到他的能量擴張,以充填其適當的軌道,並可以感受到他內在意志和自我的確認。 扭曲行為的枷鎖也消失了,一個人的生活模式呈現出真實的原始路線。


Siri Singh Sahib教授的白譚崔瑜伽是最強大的男性課程。 透過與他的極性形成對比,人們很快就找到了自己。 譚崔的經驗要求一個男人堅強、富有同情心並支援他的伴侶,而譚崔的刺穿力道會燒掉可能使他生活癱倒的神經質和恐懼症。






在他的教學生涯早期,Siri Singh Sahib 開始指導他的學生,怎麼在婚姻中扮演丈夫和妻子的角色。 從這些早期的談話中,他的男學生出現了一些新的以及令人震驚的概念:一個男人的影響力不是由他誘惑的能力來判斷的,而是由他的承諾能力來判斷的;一個女人比一個男人強八倍,但她依靠男人的穩定性;性,要想成功,不是從床上開始的,而是在婚姻生活中兩極性相互作用的高潮。 花了多年時間,這些等等的教誨才被人們吸收,構成了已經在進行中的「男人課程」入門的一部分。 把老虎放在男人的房子裡,鎖上門,即使是懦夫也會以任何方式找到他內在所屬的資源。 三年前,當 Siri Singh Sahib 開始女人訓練營時,就像是把老虎放在數百名男子的家裡一樣。


他教導他的女學生,她們應該不斷打仗,她們不應該放下劍,直到她們的丈夫成為真實高貴的男人。 對於遲疑的丈夫來說,這真的很艱難,他們必須跟上妻子擴展的光芒,回答她們直接和不省心的問題,面對她們銳利的精確看法,並達到她們有見識的標準。 這些重塑的女人變得堅強、鼓舞人心和展現即時真實,對她們的伴侶來說是一個再明確不過的挑戰。 男性的假我真的被折彎變形了。 這些人大聲呼救:「 給我們與她們的彈道水準相匹配的技術!」


1978 年 5月,Siri Singh Sahib 透過教授第一個正式的男人課程來回應他們的請求。 雖然持續時間很短,但事實證明,它的深度和應用比人們所希望的要更多。 經過多年的咀嚼知識和趣事,這邊以非常清晰和詳細的方式提供了完整的課程。 迄今為止,消化和吸收它本身就是一個挑戰,也已經有三門這樣的男人課程了,未來還有更多課程。 每一次,Siri Singh Sahib 都讓龐大的教學庫中增加了一卷新書內容。 3HO 的人、以及世界上的人,都非常深深地感謝他。





Written by S.S. Gurubanda Singh Khalsa Pomona, California and published in 1979 in the book,The Man Called the Siri Singh Sahib.


 It took nine years of cajoling, challenging and inspiring men toward God consciousness before the Siri Singh Sahib agreed it was time to teach his first official Men’s Course.  But one should not be fooled into thinking that the real men’s course did not begin long before that.  It began the day he first stepped off the plane and set foot on American soil. 


Simply to have met the Siri Singh Sahib is to have received the biggest lesson in manhood.  His dignity, his strength, his confidence are such as to immediately trigger a desire to be like him.  His Olympian bearing, the inner stillness of his presence, his strength in reserve give an unprecedented example of masculinity.  If a powerful figure can make a mark on one’s life, then the Siri Singh Sahib has cast a lasting impression on the lives of thousands of men.  Each one of them, to varying extents, has been transformed and seeks to emulate him.   


To be a man is not to be something other than your self; it is to manifest your essential self.  One of the first lessons of Kundalini Yoga is that one has an essential self.  That self is expressed through a God-given container which is either male or female.  The container is not, as the conventional wisdom have it, neutral; rather it has a polarity.  It has an energy flow, a projection and a destiny specific to its sex.   


To succeed in life, one must learn to creatively manifest oneself through the field of his given polarity.  From the first “breath of fire”, one can feel his energy expanding to fill its proper orbit, and one can feel the confirmation of his inner will and selfhood.  The shackles of twisted behavior fall away, and one’s pattern of life emerges true to its original lines. 


White Tantric Yoga, as taught by the Siri Singh Sahib, is a most powerful men’s course.  Through contrast with his polarity, man quickly finds himself.  The Tantric experience calls on a man to be strong, compassionate, and supportive of his partner, while the penetrating force of the Tantra burns away at the neuroses and phobias which can cripple his life. 


Early in his teaching career, the Siri Singh Sahib began to instruct his students in the roles of husband and wife in marriage.  From those early talks came some new and startling concepts for his male students: that a man’s potency is not judged by his ability to seduce, but by his ability to commit; that a woman is eight times stronger than a man, but that she depends upon a man for his steadiness; that sex, to be successful, does not begin in bed, but that it is the culmination of the interplay of polarities in the full spectrum of married life.  These teachings and more, which took years to assimilate, formed a portion of the primer of the “men’s course” already in progress. 

Put a tiger in a man’s house and lock the doors and even a coward will find his inner resources somehow.  When the Siri Singh Sahib began the women’s training camps three years ago, it was like placing tigers in the homes of hundreds of men.   


He taught his female students that they should be constantly at war, and they should not put down their swords, until their husbands had become truly noble men.  It was tough going for the bewildered husbands who had to keep up with their wives’ expanded radiance, answer their direct and demanding questions, face their piercingly accurate perceptions and meet their enlightened standards. 


Strong, inspiring, and skinny as they had become, these re-made women were an unmistakable challenge to their mates.  The male egos were really getting bent out of shape.  The men cried out for help: “Give us the technology to match their caliber!” 


In May 1978, the Siri Singh Sahib answered their pleas by teaching the first official Men’s Course.  Though short in duration, it proved to be more than one could possibly have hoped for in its depth and application.  After years of chewing on tidbits of knowledge, here was the full course being served in great clarity and detail.  To digest it and to assimilate it would be a challenge in itself.   


To date, there have been three such men’s courses, with more slated for the future.  With each one, a new volume is added to the vast library of teachings already delivered by the Siri Singh Sahib.  The men of 3HO, and indeed the men of the world, are deeply indebted to him.
