“Before taking up meditation it is essential that there shall be a Discipline because if one is playing with meditation, one is playing with fire. You would not allow a child to play with a
barrel of gunpowder and a box of matches, at least you would allow him to do it only once! In the same way, you must exercise great restraint in practicing the higher stages of meta-
physics. If you get a little weed of a man who suddenly decides that he wants to gain the muscles of Mr. Atlas, he has to undergo certain exercises, the poor fellow cannot suddenly grab a barbell, etc., and put in twenty-four hours a day at exercises, he would have a breakdown. In the same way it is quite necessary that meditation be regarded as the exercises of the soul, and if you rush into the practice of meditation like an American tourist rushing through the Vatican just to say that he has been there, then you will find that your enthusiasm will wane. You must practice according to a prearranged plan with discipline
and much prior preparation because our weedy little man—if he practices too much and lifts too much and exercises too much, he will find that he is so stiff in his muscles that he can hardly move. But you, remember, with meditation, you can become stiff in the mind and that is a horrible state of affairs.” T. Lobsang Rampa Chapters of Life; pg 151
I recommend Dr. Rampa’s books to all who wish to know about the Occult. to all who wish to meditate. to all who wish to be free from fear and to be at peace. Occult, by the by, means hidden. that is all. why, you ask, is knowledge hidden? would you teach a toddler how to start a fire? no, i think not. for the same reason, occult knowledge is hidden from those who are not ready. if the above intrigues you and if you are, in fact, interested in what i have to say, purchase the books of T.L. Rampa (long since passed from this earth) even better, you can search online and all of his books and knowledge are now freely available to all of those who wish to know the truth. as it is.
meditation is what? extended concentration and focus. that’s it. it’s not so mystical as you thought huh? the problem is in order to meditate you must control what yogi’s call the chitta vrittis of the mind. also called ‘mind chatter’. this is that little voice in your head that never shuts up. that never leaves you be for a the briefest of seconds. why is it a problem to control it? in this humble yogi’s opinion it is due to desire. how can one have internal peace when there are so many external desires? meditate on this. go, sit quietly, preferably with a robe of cotton or silk. why? to shield yourself from outside influences. you are a vibration and all vibrations affect you. cotton or silk help to shield you from these vibrations. for this same reason we must always meditate either alone or with 1 perhaps 2 people that we love. i say LOVE not lust. learn the difference.
there are as many ways to meditate as there different types of pasta, or different types of people. research these ways. find one which suits you best. some may find that visualizing ‘OM’ and focusing on breath works best. others may find that scanning the body, one limb at a time, while spending no more than 1 second on each limb, will work the best. others may find they can sit down, breathe in the incense and simply be. there are myriad ways. research them. do not count on me! HA. i don’t care if you meditate. not one bit. but, boy, you should! and don’t be afraid. there is nothing to fear in meditation, actually, there is nothing to fear, Period. ever. take it from a man who was scared of just about everything for about 25 years of his life. never fear. if you feel you are being overcome, by whatever, all one needs to do is breathe. into the belly, and then the lungs and have the firm affirmation that you are all that is good, all that is love and hope. and evil will be torn asunder.
what you think you become. who you are today is the result of 10’s of years of thoughts. and, as i believe, the more you think about this, the more you meditate on this, the more you will find the truth in it. you may not be happy about it, no. but do not dwell in happiness or unhappiness. dwell in peace, in love. the good exists to show us the power of bad, and the bad exists to show the power of good.
one last time, from start to finish: let’s meditate.
1 – best times are EARLY morning or late night (4AM-6AM, and perhaps midnight) THIS is because there is less chatter in the air, on the ‘air waves’ so to speak. anyone who rises before the sun knows the peace to be had
2- get a robe. cotton or silk. treat it like your BFF. no, better than that, actually. for this friend will take you places you would have never imagined. when not in use keep is SEPARATE from other clothes. also, this is your robe. do not allow it to be tainted with the vibrations of someone else. UNLESS, as i stated about, you love this person.
3- light some incense. the big sticks. smell is the sense most closely related to memory. find one soothing to you, there are many out there.
4- sit on a cushion or lay down, whatever you do, you must be comfortable and you must try to keep you spine as erect as possible.
5- you may start slowly, 2 min’s of meditation. then 5min and then 10min.
in the begining you will have difficulty. but stay the course. soon, you will not be able to imagine life without meditation.
6- sit. breathe. be.
easy peasy lemon squeezy.
would you like more help? with growth? with meditation? with finding the truth?
look into Agnihotra ceremony, practice it. if you cannot, find someone who can provide you with the ash from the resulting ceremony. (if you can not find anyone local, leave a comment and i would be more than happy to send you some, free of charge. just pay shipping)
still more help you seek? look into orgonite. orgone. wilhelm reich. make some. if you cannot, buy some. place them throughout your house. place them in your meditation area. you will benefit.
ah, more help? how about this – if you have a question, you already have the answer. you need only concentrate and focus on the question, you need only meditate on it.
trust no one. believe only that which you experience.
