If there were no world, no time, no space, no condition, if none of us existed, that would be meditation.
Meditation is not emptiness. That is a way of trying to talk about something that is impossible to put into words. It is a world of fullness, if anything.
From the point of view of meditation, there is nothing that is not God. When we meditate, we are participating in a spiritual experience. We are seeing life is not perhaps as we thought, but a little bit different, vastly different.
When you go into the planes of light, all of the incorrect ways of seeing and understanding life that you pick up are washed away.
When you meditate deeply, you will see beyond life and death. You will see that you can’t die and you can’t be reborn. You are existence itself.
You remember, you are drawn back to the pathway to enlightenment, to meditation, and when you begin to meditate your past life knowledge returns to you.
In meditation we get a sense of the countless selves within ourselves, the different forms they take. Those that don’t seem positive or helpful we push aside. Those that seem progressive we enjoy.
As you meditate, you will find that consciousness itself will move you beyond time and space and condition into a larger, vaster, more beautiful state of awareness.
We live in a sensual world, and at the same time we live beyond it – billions of dimensions that are nonphysical, we experience them when we stop thought.
With the practice of meditation you can move into other states of mind, sort of ungluing the glue that binds you to a particular perceptual mode, a way of seeing life which is an illusory one.
When you can successfully stop thought for longer periods of time, you do move into other worlds. This can also happen in the very beginning, if a person meditates with someone who is very advanced.
If you meditate, you can experience the other worlds, the far-flung eternities and dimensions – and you are not stuck in any one of them.
As you meditate, you will discover, pleasantly, that you too can see beyond this life, that you can see your eternality.
When it comes time to die, you will not be afraid. By meditating, you will have already seen beyond life and death and you will see there is nothing to fear.
In meditation, when your thoughts are stopped, you become empty. When you are empty, your mind folds back on itself and you see through the illusions of the material world.
Try to be still inside. Learn to quiet and stop thought, and you will be able to develop your mind. Your psychic intuition will start to come about.
When you develop your psychic vision after some meditation, you will be able to see the subtle physical of others, or perhaps yourself. At first you will see it as an aura; eventually you can see the whole subtle physical.
A lot of people have this live or die attitude with mediation. It has to be all or nothing. I don’t think it should be. It’s a study that you follow for the rest of your life.
Real meditation engenders humility and purity, always. Yet I don’t really think it demands any kind of lifestyle.
The way to meditate is by not trying to be too good at it too quickly. This is essential, because otherwise you won’t have any fun with it.
