What meditation is? The truth of the soul.
Meditation means a deep transformation of your total being.
The whole being must be transform, so it is obviously a complex process, not easy at all. The human mind is complex, that’s why the mutation is bound to be complex too.
First requirement for transformation: The purification of the body
Meditative transformation is a process that must first start with the body. The body must be in deep cooperation. Otherwise, meditation will become unnecessarily difficult, making it even more complex and arduous.
Ordinarily, your body does not go with you, it has its own ways, impulses and desires. If you want to achieve transformation, first, you must purify the body, that is the right path to take.
What it means to purify the body?
The first most important thing to understand and carry out is not to identify with your body, otherwise you will be fighting against it, making the transformation impossible. Identification with the body is the first and greatest impurity to understand. One must not be identified with the body, you must be beyond the body, in a state of transcendence. You must be in a constant reminder that you are beyond the body. You are not the body, you are not within it, you are beyond it.
Constantly keeping in mind that you are beyond the body brings a new dimension to your whole being. Constantly remind yourself that your essential self is something above the body, beyond the body, you are neither the body nor within it.
Ordinarily you think you are inside the body. Change this paradigm completely, visualize that you are outside, beyond, and the body is within. If you can make this change in your consciousness, your body will become light, all the heaviness will be gone.
This gestalt shift in your consciousness will allow you to go beyond the force of gravity.
You are a presence, the soul, greater than the body, let it be that way. You can only identify with something that is greater than you, never with something that is lesser than you. When you realize that the truth is opposite to your belief, that the body is something small within you and not the opposite, a new paradigm will be revealed in you.
Second requirement for transformation: If you are without you become unlimited.
If you believe and think that you are inside and trapped in the body, it means that you are imprisoned in it. This belief makes you think that you are limited, because your being ends where the body also ends.
If you change this situation, if you are really out of the body, if you are an energy around the body, then there is no limitation. So you are not only beyond the body, you are also beyond everything. Then you become the whole universe, you have no limits. The body becomes a tiny center within you and then you become the entire universe.
Try it, imagine it and little by little a new understanding and vision of your true self will begin to be created in you.
The simple feeling that “I am the body” is simply imagination, an idea that has been implanted in you and in all of humanity. The ancient shamans of the past had a concept, they called it "the luminous egg". They knew the fact that the soul, the spirit was not inside the body, but outside.
The spirit is not lodged in any part of the body, it is quite the opposite, the spirit is what encompasses the body.
The spirit is everywhere outside the body and also within it. Stop thinking and imagining that you are inside some part of the body, it is an absolute fallacy. In this way the body will cooperate because it is an extension of you, not the opposite.
For true meditation to occur, a correct preparation must be carried out, purifying body, heart and mind.
A gestalt change in the heart must take place in order to purify it.
The Ego functions in many dimensions, one of which affects the polarity of the heart. You can remember the most painful moments but not the happiest ones. You can remember when someone has hurt you but not when someone has helped you.
Third Stage: Change the gestalt of your heart’s vision
You can be sure that the moment you begin the path to awakening, the moment you begin to transform yourself, the people around you will resist that change. They will do everything possible to convince you to go back, because the simple fact that you start to free yourself and find your happiness, your authenticity, these people will feel jealous and offended, because they will not be left behind. You will be the reflection of their misery.
Throughout life, we constantly accumulate negative charges in our hearts. Instead of thanking and keeping the beautiful moments in our hearts, we focus on the negative ones, creating impurities in our hearts. Instead of making it Libyan and happy, we fill it with garbage, making it dense and heavy.
The process of purification of the heart consists of changing this paradigm and attitude in order to realize that existence has given us many positive and beautiful moments. The lighter and purer the heart, the easier our ability to perceive the positive will be, and then life will change, because your vision will focus on colours and not on grays.
Instead of dividing your perception of reality into good and bad, you can look at what's going on around you from a different perspective. Even when another person is angry, you can look at the beauty, the energy that is expressed in it. Many people are really alive when they are angry, see the beauty in it, don't just choose one side of life, enjoy all its nuances. Of course, you must observe without letting what happens outside affect your center, because in that case the anger of other people will penetrate your being. Keep watching with absolute indifference, as if you were looking at a storm, which is beautiful in itself if you are able to look at it from your window at home.
Just be a witness, as if you were watching a movie without identifying with it. Then you will be able to see the beauty of existence in all things. So, if you are able to perceive and witness all the events with this vision, you will feel grateful for everything that happens around you, because it will always be existence interpreting itself through different characters. A great existential play that unfolds before your eyes.
If you witness everything that happens to you with absolute indifference, each event will be an opportunity to test and improve your mastery, your awareness, the stability and peace in your center.
“Always the choice is yours, you can see life as a drama or as a cosmic joke. Be alert and delight it.
-Zohar
Awareness: See everything that your mind considers negative as an opportunity for observation and growth.
The mind has been conditioned to divide perception from reality. With awareness, witness and alertness, you will be able to go beyond duality and appreciate the beauty in all the nuances of life.
Fourth Stage: Shift the gestalt of your perception beyond duality, into oneness. Make everything positive, purify everything.
Humanity is conditioned to always divide everything on the basis of "good and bad". From there, the mind goes on and on dividing. It is a habit, a pattern deeply implanted in people's minds. So, all people are victims of circumstances, because instead of embracing the totality, they choose only one extreme, "the good". Then unnecessary tension is created, as everyone tries to fight against life to condition the outside to their personal preferences to make everything "what is good for me".
This situation creates impurities in your being, because this vision is transferred to your thoughts and feelings, affecting your whole life and actions.
There is a space beyond this lopsided view of existence. Observe everything as a witness, with absolute indifference, as if you were the spectator of a psycho-drama, without letting what happens around you affect you. Thus, you will achieve that everything that happens in your life is an opportunity to grow, to be the master of your center and in this way, not let the outside disturb your inner center.
To live in repetitive processes is to be dead in life. The fact of feeling bored is not something negative, on the contrary, it indicates that your intelligence is talking to you to make a change. Just like water. that has stopped flowing and has stagnated, if you feel that your life has reached that point, you must change and renew yourself. Life is an evolutionary process and expansion of consciousness. Self-realization is not a state that you reach for and "game over." You must remain in constant movement and balance in order to maintain a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
Look at all things as if it were a project and lesson for your learning. Turn everything that happens into a positive, see life as a great school to learn to be more aware.
A negative attitude towards life is suicide.
You have been experiencing many lives and in all of them the same pattern has been repeated. A dual vision, from the mind, will only lead you to continuous misery. Move beyond and perceive the world from your being, from your soul. That is the mystical vision..
Imagine that instead of being initiated on the path of awakening, you are being initiated as a warrior and that martial artists are extremely rare beings. Unless you find one who can teach you everything he learned to become a capable warrior, you should gain your wisdom through experience, fighting many battles and in case you survive and master your own fighting style.
A spiritual master is a practically essential figure, even more so today because in ancient times and in some countries, people who sought enlightenment were revered and helped. Especially in the East, there were temples where the seekers of truth could take refuge, the culture gave them some support and respect.
At present, this does not happen and less so in the West, at a time when everything is fast, frenetic and superficial.
Reaching awakening is an arduous path, reaching it by yourself, without the help of someone real by your side, is almost impossible, very few have been those who have achieved it by themselves.
So, if your search is sincere, if you are prepared to give up everything you think you know, to give up the version of reality that has been implanted in your mind, look for a true master who can reflect and guide you, then Otherwise, a path full of obstacles awaits you.
A negative attitude towards life is suicide. Mind always will create conflicts inside you to avoid to see the truth. Meditation is the purification process to move from the mind to your most essential center. Only there will you find true joy and be able to enjoy everything, without exception.
Final words:
Change your vision and in this way you will stop accumulating negativity in your heart and consciousness, then you will be able to transmute any situation into a positive charge. That is the purification process, only by understanding this fact, you will be able to make your life a great celebration.
Even death will become something to celebrate, because if you observe and witness, you will realize that the body is not you, it is a holographic projection of your essential being of your soul. Death is only a state, in the same way that water can freeze, it can also evaporate and by doing so, it is not destroyed, it simply changes its shape to sooner or later return to the aqueous state.Final words:
Now, if these words have penetrated your being, there is a possibility that understanding will arise in you. In this way, you will stop accumulating negativity in your heart and consciousness, in this way life will stop being suffering and sadness to become something beautiful and meaningful to experience. Even old age, illness will be a great opportunity to prove your mastery in the existential art of the mystics.
Remember, identification is the biggest obstacle, if you manage to disidentify yourself from your body, your thoughts, your emotions, opinions... then the doors of truth will open before your eyes. Reality will take on a hitherto unknown quality, a beauty that has always been there waiting to be discovered...
Some call it God, others Tao, The Supreme, The Source, call it what you like, the fact is that this existence is a great dance of energies, a great cosmic consciousness playing an eternal play in which you, are one of its infinite characters.
Live your life with awareness, be alert, abandon old patterns and habits in how you perceive reality. Everything is energy, stop clinging so much to the forms and look at the deep meaning of things, then, little by little you will ascend in your awareness to finally, in this life or in the following ones, realize that even if you are a drop of the ocean , the ocean is in you. The whole cosmos is in you and you in it.
Interpret the character that existence has given you, an infinite character, without limitations, for this you must first burn, evaporate and dissolve the false character that society and yourself have built, the shadow, the Ego.
Always look for something that can become a positive accumulation in your heart. The body must be purified by encompassing it, your consciousness must search everywhere for the positive. Then you will be able to truly meditate..
When you are in a state of meditation, you can focus on an intention, that intention will have an effect on your energetic state which will transform you. Whatever one meditates, one becomes..
Meditate on purity and you will become pure. Meditate on space and you will become spaceless, unbounded.
Meditate on anything transparent, a lake with calm waters that reflects the moon, and then clarity will come to you.
Unconscious people often meditate without realizing it, they tune in to destructive, negative ideas, such as: fear, greed, hate, grief, then their being adopts the energetic configuration of those ideas and thoughts. Be very alert, that way you will have the ability to transform everything negative into positive.
Stay away from all dead religion, be it Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shamanism, Sufism and so on. None of them has recently managed to wake anyone up, quite the opposite.
Meditation is the path for one to become the object of meditation. Remember anything that is blissful to you, meditate on it and you become blissful. Stop unconsciously meditating on things that you would not like to become. People unaware of the nature of meditation constantly go on meditating on wrong objects, thereby making their lives miserable.
All human beings meditate without realizing it, it is an inherent capacity of existence. So what is the difference between a non-meditator and a meditator? The difference is only in the objects and awareness in meditation.
If you meditate on sex you will become sexual, if you meditate on anger you will become it. If you meditate on a sad event, you will become a sad person. Whatever you put your attention on, you will become it, consciously or unconsciously.
If you stay alert and witness your thoughts, you will find that if you focus on an object from a negative angle, your mind will begin to expand the energy around it. If a situation has occurred where you have allowed the focus to be on anger, then the thoughts will go to your emotions and subsequently you will become the anger you were focusing on.
When someone is angry, their perception of the world disappears, reality disappears, everything becomes anger. His contact with reality has disappeared and he has become the object of his meditation, only anger exists.
Everyone is constantly meditating upon something, the only difference is that you can meditate into wrong objects or right ones, in negative aspects or positive.
Meditate on some blissful moment, meditate on something you would like to become. Then meditation becomes a mutation.
First, the incorrect objects must be eliminated and transformed into positive ones. Finally, if you are able to let go of even the positive ones, then only your awareness will be present, then you will have reached the ultimate state of meditation, pure awareness.
