MEDITATION
After a little concerted effort, mediation can become part of our every day life.
Once we are meditating regularly we become more aware of our actions and thoughts throughout the day. We maintain our consciousness in the here-and-now, and this awareness helps us to make better choices, resulting in a better life.
So for those who haven't yet made the breakthrough to a higher level of awareness of the self, nothing can be better than a planned meditation regimen.
You are here in this life because you are seeking enlightenment, and meditation is the best available tool.
Those who achieve enlightenment can understand far more than could ever be taught in school. Concentrating on the internal self and going within elicits this higher level of consciousness.
The blockage to enlightenment is the ego, which is our self-manufactured prison.
The ability to move past the ego and to recognise that it is purely a mind construction, and not real is what provides the open doors to a completely different style of life. The relief from not having to feed the ego releases mpre energy for more constructive things, and when directed mindfully, this free energy can be utilised to work miracles.
However the process of achieving this is a lengthy one, and is best taken in stages, the first of which is to realise that the belief system on which our ego is based is full of holes. We call this Untying the Knots, and provide some examples of erroneous beliefs that the general public adopts.
Regularly examining the foundations of our belief system is essential to provide the flexibility necessary to move forward, and to commence our new life by understanding the mind, body and spirit in more detail.
Constant use of the computer enmeshes the mind in other peoples problems, all under the guise of perhaps being able to provide help to others.
When attempting to investigate UFOs and aliens about ten years ago there was as much disinfo as fact. While there is no doubt that there are benefits in the rapid communication provided by the latest technology, then we must also consider the down side.
First of all, there is the amount of time spent at the computer desk, instead of conducting some healthy activity outdoors. Then there is the unhealthy aspect of being so close to electrical circuits for so long. And last but not least, the aspects of mind control which are blatantly apparent. No matter which subject one addresses there is at least as much disinformation as true information, and weeding the truthful from the untruthful is a a mammoth task.
We should not become a slave to our computer. Yes it does keep our mind occupied, and help to prevent boredom, but if the same time was spent in meditation and healthy exercise, we would benefit far more. I think a simple rule is that we should meditate first, and then we should spend no more time on the computer than we spent meditating.
So whenever we get the urge to switch on the computer, we transmute that into an urge to meditate.
