One of the stages we may experience in dawning of meditation

Many of us may experience this and other, revealed by enlightened persons but they are not necessarily a requirement as per any universal rule. Many of us will experience this after reading this article as we will anticipate this, this is natural. Reading experiences written or heard of other enlightened persons will also do the same, this is O.K as long as we manifest it due to our desire to experience them, but if these do not manifest it we will end up as stress, thus anticipation can lead to problems some times.

"I feel I forget myself" as quoted by one of the aspirants in an e-mail, is one of the stages we reach if our practice is progressing with or without anticipation, {YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PATH, ALSO KNOW THAT JUST LIVING OUR LIFE OR ANY DAILY ACT CAN ALSO LEAD TO DAWNING OF MEDITATION, kindly note that all activity can lead to the state of meditation AS THEY ARE ALL LINKED TO THE OMNIPOTENT. This is done by becoming one pointed and our thoughts focused only with it consciously.}

This may be also experienced as being conscious during dawning of dream state or deep sleep state, transcending the awake phase of consciousness (consciousness being attached to the sense organs using intelligence correlating with the memory) into the dream phase (describing and creating a dialogue of the vision created in the electrical and magnetic field called mind. Many of us experience this in the subconscious mind, here anticipation and strong unsatisfied desire plays an important role).

All persons who experience this can remember their dreams and then can transcend into conscious dreaming easily (complete loss of external awareness, meaning awareness changing to or related with the subtle essence of the five sensory organs). The next experience can be, transcending into conscious deep sleep. And the next is seizure of all identification with the observed. And further into merging with the observed.

To master this we have used observing any movie and not loosing the connection or relationship between the different changes that take place as the movie unfolds (scenes, location, characters with out any emotional involvement). This means maintaining the link in the three sheaths, (BODY posture, stress or relaxed), (MIND, correlation with memory) and (SPIRIT feelings and beyond mind experience). [Meditation in the movie hall really helped].

Alternately when we experience this, immediately think that we have transcended or deliberately think that the state of awareness has changed from active awareness of sense organs to active awareness of subtle part of the sense organs, we are now awake not in the physical body state but in the subtle mental state, the proof is that we will be aware of the activity of the mind namely thinking nothing in particular at first but being aware of everything. Caution is necessary here to maintain only observation with out identifying, or interacting or analyzing anything. This is necessary because if we do so we loose the preliminary state “dawning of meditation”.

The only difference in sleep, clear vision awareness and meditative state of bliss (turiya) is that there is consciousness, but there is no identifying with anything thus it is without boundaries or limitation only this can expand our awareness into the ultimate.  There is only awareness (consciousness) of the whole universe without differentiation, as if it is all inside the head at first, then the boundary of the mind surpasses the boundary of the head and human limitation, expanding our awareness into the unlimited, it is just observing the complete (Example that we feel may explain “ Just look straight with open eyes in front THERE WILL BE MANY THINGS THAT IS PRESENT IN THE VISION , but the consciousness will select only one of them this is because consciousness can focus only on one thing at any given instant, now think of some abstract thing that is not obviously visible Say flow of energy everywhere within the vision WHAT WILL HAPPEN ?  Identifying with any single object will end IT IS AS IF WE ARE OBSERVING EVERYTHING ALLAT ONCE, when we master this then stop thinking of energy also YOU WILL BE THERE INSTANTLY. The only way we know that we are there is, when we become aware that there is nothing you need to do (physically, mentally or spiritually) there because everything we can imagine is already there, actually we don’t even imagine!  the entire vertical component of time is perceived (just like a observer watching there is no involvement with anything, a higher stage there to this is no separate observer and the observed, it may seem that you are being observed but you are actually observing, there is no difference between you and that which is observed) the minute you get involved with anything the state is lost and you are back with the living, the horizontal component of time. This state is like everything is happening and yet WE ARE STAND STILL with reference to our own frame of time (meaning that the relative time of our consciousness stops and only the universal time component as identified by all the consciousness involved with creation in the manifested world is active THIS IS OBSERVING, yet active within the time frame of those involved there is no flow of time for the person in meditative bliss ONLY PRESENT RELATED TO HIM exists and it observes the movement as per the desires of all the active components in the universe. Note here that this is not the ultimate state.The state that is beyond this state, there is totally no separation with what you are aware of. YOU BECOME ONE WITH IT. This is the end no further thing to define and confine within words and meaning and experience! Just Know that there is No You! Different from the rest….. YOU ARE THE TOTALITY! MEANING THE LIMIT IMPOSED BY THE EGO OVER THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS REMOVED.

The logic that defends this is; - Consciousness moves into the recesses of the heart or focuses on the functioning of the heart, far away from the assumed location memory during deep sleep, and somewhere in between during dream sleep shuffling between the heart and mind, thus it never rests, even after it leaves this body after death. The only time it will rest is when the omnipotent decides to do so, in other words, consciousness being the part of the omnipotent will be active until omnipotent is active or awake (EVEN HE WILL SLEEP, AND THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WILL BECOME STAND STILL AS SOON AS HE WITHDRAWS HIS CONSCIOUSNESS from the cosmic memory), it is linked with an unbreakable connection through feelings “Bhavana” [Communication using feelings is the highest medium called “PARA”. (Read my article on communication)] so this will carry on until all memory that was not understood is present in the active and sub conscious memory, because these topics that were forced to be side tracked ( converted to SATWA or TAMAS) are stored in the memory and have a potential to attract the intellect as there is change or difference (RAJAS). Thus, intellect cannot rest until it reaches a stage called Satwa or Tamas. It will stay there (Satwa or Tamas) until it gains sufficient potential to start moving to wards the opposite, thus we cannot stay in turiya until we are in the realm of DUALITY.
