Meditation is often confused with practical ideas of relaxing, releasing anxiety and stress, and/or for general health benefits. Meditation has found its way into many fields of practice like sports, psychology, business, and even science, especially in the theoretical practices. Meditation has managed to become a part of many people’s lives in all sorts of ways, but these conventional practices of meditation are not Really the Meditation I am talking about.

The kinds of meditation that require specific focuses of mental activity for specific purposes are really just mental gymnastics. These are not concerned with bodily Self Realization, these kinds of meditations are self help tools, not Spiritual in nature. These mental gymnastics are ego bound, and ego designed to serve the egoic goals of life. Focusing the brain’s activity on achieving something is not born in the Heart of Life. There is a genuine difference between the practicing of the mind to achieve something and allowing the mind to serve God.

Real Meditation is a Free living process that involves the progressive awakening of the Spiritual Cross through the Sole Living and Everlasting Realization of God. Meditation in the Heart of God is not a strategy or a seeking based (achievement bound), goal oriented practice of mental gymnastics. Real meditation takes place transcendent of the ego states of mind, and it (Meditation) Is the Process of Actually fulfilling the Divine Impulse by the actual tangible bodily process of Awakening the Spiritual Cross. Conventional meditation sees the process of meditation as something initiated by seeking and searching, and the fulfillment of practical meditation is bound in the ideas of success and achievement.

Real Meditation Is Initiated by a tangible and living conscious (progressively and intensely felt throughout the body/mind, especially within the structure of the Spiritual Cross) Dynamic of the Divine Impulse As It Transfigures the individual. Although, this may seem to reflect a process (a possible goal), the Truth of the Process is that the individual must already be grounded in at least a Faith based Self Realization in order to even begin the Transfiguration. Thus, the motive of the ego to search and seek a self/identity is undermined by the conscious (reiterated) acknowledgement of God Only Is.

Meditation is born from the Heart of God’s Inherent and Everlasting Realization. It is not born from motives of the ego mind to relax, achieve, succeed, learn, and/or gain anything in anyway, even to sustain the egoic identity for any length of time. Meditation is the direct commune-ication of the Transcendent Consciousness of existence within the body/mind’s consciousness. Thus, the body/mind’s conscious state is over-whelmed (through the process of Enbrightenment) by the Transcendent Consciousness, and the body/mind finds that it is sourced (consciously) Solely in that Reality moment to moment. Meditating As the Heart of Reality is what real meditation is about, and, instead of meditating as some kind of separate identity, in the midst of many identities, Meditate As the Everlasting Reality of God’s Realization; The~Only Real Identity of Existence.

Meditating As the Heart of Reality happens purely through the Divine Presence, and it takes genuine acknowledgement (within the consciousness of the body/mind) of God’s Only Presence for the body/mind to begin to undermine the old paradigm of ego. Meditation in the beginning deals with these mental appearances. The individual should not identify or attach to any appearance of consciousness during formal (really any) meditation. To the beginner meditation will tend to be over whelmed by egoic activity, but with a Faith based Self Realization of God Only Is, the substance of that Faith can supersede the conscious activity of ego. As the individual progresses in the bodily realization of the Spiritual Cross, meditation mutates and eventually becomes integrated into every conscious experience. The true Meditation ultimately gives Way to the body/mind becoming Over-whelmed by God Only, and the old egoic habits are annihilated As the Process takes place. Before, ego over-whelmed the individual, once Real meditation (Real Self Realization) dawns God's Realization is the One Over-whelming the individual's conscious existence; the perpetual, and moment to moment, steady-state of the individual's being.

If a person has the opportunity to meditate in the company of a genuine Realizer, that person's meditation will find a Communing Intensity that is not experienced with those living the egoic relationship of consciousness with life, and everything. The good-presence of the Realizer/Guru can, through the Grace that pours from the form (all appearing forms) of the Guru, catalyze and initiate the process of Enbrightenment (whole-reality-realization). By learning to Commune perfectly in/with the Guru's bodily form the Process of Spirituality takes on God-speed. Although, each person is the Direct Source, the Value of the Guru is unPrecedented, and nothing else in any form of media appearing for the Teaching of God/Self Realization can be compared to the Power of Grace and Fire discovered through the Communing Presence of the Guru.

No goal, no seeking, no searching, only resting As your Inherent and Transcendental Conscious existence can progressively purge the old activity of ego. Faith that God is fully capable of fulfilling the process of Enbrightenment is the basic non-thought-supported conscious state that really supports the Process. Meditate As the Heart of Existence, and remember you’re perpetually, moment to moment, appearing in the One True Perfectly Transcendent and Eternal Steady-State of God’s Realization. Your entire conscious experience takes place in the context of God Only. Live the Same Conscious relationship that God lives with Reality, and become Saturated by God’s Divine Realization. Until that Realization perfectly Lives As you, practice devotional meditation to the Process of Enbrightenment, and clearly Know God’s Presence and Sole and Single Revelation of ItSelf As you without having to have finished the whole process. That is Real Faith based Realization of Self, and that Realization Solely supports genuine spiritual meditation.

My latest blog post. God Bless.

Excellent!

It's about time somebody said this, and it's time people realize this. Meditation is not, and was never, meant to be merely for relaxation, success, or just self improvement in general. All these are side benefits. But the main purpose has always been spiritual upliftment. You've said it, and you've said it very well indeed.

The particular context will of course vary according to the religion or mystical image that is sought for. But the goal is the same. The Light is the same. Hope to see more of such articles.
