Preparation for the “final meditation”.
By turning your awareness away from normal activity and settling the mind, you can reconnect with your inner space. In the silent spaces beyond thoughts, you surrender to a Cosmic Sound. Just as there is noise in life, so there is noise in Nirvana. It very different though and can’t be explained, only experienced.
You submerge your ego, which remains, but is transformed into an alternative identity, as decided when you reached your “plateau of the mountain” – the Self-Realised state. This is where there is the bliss of Oneness. (When you hear the Cosmic Sound).
The trust, and faith that there is a Supra-human Force seems to be a pre-requisite for surrender (to your True Self). “I believe that something will help me through this”. This requires some awareness generated by questioning what goes on until Self-Realisation. A new identity in Self-Realisation requires some practical substance also. Mediation, prayer, chanting, using a mantra etc. What is the single most powerful tool you can use when you arrive at your mountain plateau of Self-Realisation. Possibly something you used on your Journey? You didn’t think “I don’t have to do anything”, to get to your Higher Rooms/Level or Light Space. You did the practice required.
Just let go and then sit or exist in what is our natural state of Being, which incidentally happens to be Enlightenment. Rest in Consciousness. It’s all natural and the process is simple. Simple, but how come it doesn’t happen? We need to do something!
Lots of followers of many teachers have sat and soaked up their teaching for many years. Yet they are still on the journey, and still seekers of self-realisation. What’s the barrier, and what’s blocking the transformative change to the Transcendence of the final meditation? Is it ego, or desire, or enmeshment, or what? Probably some mixture that’s is unique for each individual, meaning that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to these pathways.
Take this perspective.
There is no God or Goddess. There is no universe. There are only creations in the mind, which are creations of humans. Therefore we are left with consciousness, which is the same as the Cosmic Consciousness. It’s just our true normal state. It’s who we are.
Are we divine? People say: “oh my ice cream is divine”, so this won’t work. Being who you are means you are as one with the Oneness. It’s important to have that – otherwise we are just humans with egos and minds. Human being itself though is not a cause for uppercase use. We need Being.
We don’t have any concrete human position to stay fixed in long term, because everything changes. Everything is subject to the reality that all die, and all else will change out of recognition. So death and taxes are certain, and it’s certain that your $40 million Picasso will be dust eventually. This whole position of Life and the Universe is just that.
Here belief, is not required, only some logical application to go deeper and deeper into:
What am I experiencing in Truth?
This leads us to:
Being in your special place and doing your special meditation
