Purpose of this Meditation: To familiarize the mind with the EXPERIENCE of being a soul.
Now is the time to Remember once again who YOU (we) truly are!
Meditation Commentary: I, the soul, am a star-like point of peace and purity. I come from a golden-red dimension beyond gravity, beyond the blue sky, beyond this earthly world…called the Soul World (Nirvana). The soul world is called Nirvana because it is a dimension of “No Sound”. It is an infinite space of silence and peace.
In my original state, I am fully charged with my natural and eternal attributes of knowledge, purity, peace, love , joy , bliss, and strength. I sparkle with happiness when I am sitting, feeling, speaking, or acting in my natural nature of soul consciousness.
Understanding What Happened: However, when I, the soul, come into a human fetus, I became totally immersed in the physical nature of having a body and I become consumed by its attractions and repulsions. When I emerge into the physical stage of the earth, I become immersed in this plane of action. I attached my sense of identity to the physical body and its senses- playing a physical role on the stage of the earth. I become attached deeply to temporary objects and to people. I’m also almost completely reliant upon the reality that I can see, touch, hear, taste and smell.
This resulted in obscuring and causing forgetfulness about my true nature as a soul and its original attributes. I also forgot my original home above; the world from which I came and to which I will evenutally return…My Sweet Home of Peace, also called Nirvana…the place without sound.
This grand illusion (Maya) has convinced me that my entire existence is physical. The forces of anger, lust, greed, ego, and attachment became acceptable as a “normal” reality of life, even though, as a matter of course, they cause sorrow upon sorrow resulting in a world filled with sorrow. Another inevitable result of this “acceptance of the vices” is that my ability to control myself and matter has been replaced by not only matter and external conditions controlling me, but I have become controlled even by my own creations of thoughts and feelings, in the form of obsessions,compulsions, overpowering desires and cravings, extremes of like and dislike, all of which cause havoc on both my mind and body… leaving my original nature of happiness, peace, bliss, wisdom in the dust!!! They are no longer easy to access.
WAKING UP: However, in a moment, with this true knowledge of my self…. I, the soul, can shift my attention away from the world of physical demands and concerns, and begin to enjoy remembering my original identity and attributes as a peaceful soul – a spiritual being of light. As I reinforce this awareness even for a few moments several times during the day and night, I begin the process of reclaiming my power as a soul, full of virtues and natural goodness.
REMEDY: With the correct knowledge of who I am and with the consistent contemplation upon this knowledge, the mind becomes shaped through elevated, essenceful thoughts of my true self. I begin to live in a worthwhile way as a soul conscious being once again.
This, my friend, is the first lesson or step of Raja Yoga Meditation.
LIFE EXPANDS and BEGINS ANEW: Soul Consciousness is vital preparation to create the concentration to fully restore my happiness, virtues and soul powers. Without soul consciousness, the mind is driven by and drawn into and consumed by the many distractions of the physical dimension. I, the soul, must claim my spiritual mastery as a master of my mind and even of my senses. Then my focus or bandwidth is widened to contemplate, know, and understand my higher nature, as well as to connect, palpably, with the Subtle Realms and the Presence and Supreme Goodness of the One above, as a true ally in many different relationships… as my teacher/mentor, my friend and constant companion, and as my beloved divine parent.
And in this Way, Unshakeable Faith, Discernment, and True Love arise, once again, within humans and the realization and manifestation of a Better Life in a Beautiful World emerges~!!!
A BLESSING FOR YOU:
May you become extremely loving and detached like a lotus which remains untouched, while connected to the muddy waters from which it grows.
