How to wake up your universal identity

2009-05-12T08:17:00.001-07:00

It's pretty simple actually!

Anything that divides you or separates you strengthens your individual identity.

Anything that unites you strengthens your universal identity.

Feeling your universal identity means feeling connected, united with the rest of the world and the cosmos.

So, if you want to wake up that aspect of your being, engage into actions, thoughts, behaviors, attitudes which link you to the rest of humankind and the planet.

These are compassionate directions.

Compassion means suffering with

con=with
passion=patir (in ancient greek) =suffering

Now, it doesn't have to be suffering.

You can link with joy, celebration, thoughts, feelings and especially love.

Taking action to connect with the rest of humankind links you.

The reason you do it is because you feel you are one with it.

Try it out!

Make a test and follow a line of helping others for a week and check how you feel after that!

You will feel vulnerable on a certain level, and will as well feel a sense of "inner light" and bliss.

This inner sensation is the emotional reflection of this awakening of your universal identity.

It's like activating a certain part of your being. You get a certain direct result by doing it.

It is literally like mathematics or chemistry.

You put together a certain set of actions and you get an inner result within no time.

Now, taking action in an effective way is the next big challenge!!!

We'll cover that one in another post

Take care

Why you need extra power when you wake up your universal identity

2009-05-11T07:15:00.001-07:00

Waking up your universal identity is like connecting with a new source of energy.

When you do that, you need as well extra power to strengthen your body and mind.

Imagine a stream of energy flowing through your being.

Increase that energy and the system might not be able to take it.

Now, your system is not only your body/mind/spirit.

It is as well the sum of all connections you have with your environment like friends, family, work.

When you manifest a new level of energy, people respond to it in a very instinctual way!

Now, what is their emotional response?

How do you respond when you see extra money or energy?

You want to own it, right?

You want to control it.

This is why just working with love is not enough.

People are competing with each other all the time for energy.

It just happens.

If you want to increase your level of inner energy, you need as well a complete system which is able to take it.

More on that coming soon :)

What does it mean to harmonize your being?

2009-05-10T06:34:00.000-07:00

Take a system like your body/mind/spirit/connections.

If you have areas of tension or conflict, these tensions and conflicts will increase when you increase your energy level.

This is why all religions and spiritual systems have some form of purification ritual in their practices.

You purify yourself physically but as well internally so that your channels are clear.

If you are angry when you try to increase your energy level, you increase as well the level of internal tension which can lead to more conflicts and even self destruction.

This is why you need to be very smart when you engage in any form of spiritual practice.

You need to solve what is unsolved.

You need to increase your level of love, respect and harmony, while gaining power at the same time.

Now, the way you use your power is essential as well.

More on this in a coming post

Do you need a spiritual system?

2009-05-09T05:33:00.001-07:00

You always use one, even when you feel you don't.

You are always in touch with some form of inspiration stimulating your actions.

In-spiration = taking the spirit in.

Any time you feel inspired you take a certain spirit in.

This force sponsoring your actions might appear vague and formless, it is still intelligent and structured in its own way.

You will notice that it is not just any action you want to take, it is something quite specific.

If you go to the other end of spiritual systems and look now at very structured traditions, the guidelines for your own spiritual evolution are clearly defined.

So, you have two types of systems (and all the variations in between):

Formless = Internal = Arupa (simply means formless in Sanskrit)

Formed and structured = Rupa (means manifested or "with form" in Sanskrit)

It's essential to understand this because you need to know that you are never alone with the steps you take.

A force is always present sponsoring your actions.

You function within a system.

Even a person who feels they have no system and total freedom still function with a certain set of ideas and beliefs which is still a certain spirit.

There isn't an action you can take which isn't contained within a certain spiritual system.

Now these systems can be totally formless and appear totally free.

They might have absolutely no writing or scripture relating to them.

You might even feel that you are the only person on the planet following that specific stream.

Still, you are connected all the time and never alone.

Good news, right? :)

Next question: what is the energy sustaining a spiritual system?

What is the force sustaining a spiritual system?

2009-05-08T04:35:00.001-07:00

What is the force sustaining a cloud of birds?

We tend to think of intelligences as human like forms.

But intelligences and spiritual forces are much more complex than that.

When we function with our thoughts, there is only so much our minds can comprehend.

If you try to reduce a formless spiritual force to something you can comprehend, you will usually reduce it and simplify it immensely.

It is like an ant sitting in front of a skyscraper.

Our thinking system is limited!

The rational and conceptual tools we use cannot comprehend realities which are much vaster than ourselves.

Now, let's still give it a try, ok?

A city has its own sponsoring spirit, identity and intelligence.

This intelligence is the sum of everything happening in that city.

Now, there is what we can see with our physical eyes. What we can measure.

Then, there is the invisible which is probably millions of time vaster and more compex than what we can conceive.

Think of a simple concept like synchronicity.

Our usual rational models don't explain it. We need to step into more intuitive perceptions to kind of grasp it.

So, the force sustaining a spiritual system is much vaster than ourselves.

You can call it an angelic intelligence.

But please, think beyond the person like angel with wings! :)

You can talk for instance about the spirit of yoga or the spirit of suffism.

There are intelligences at play which are not human like!

That's the first key point to realize.

These intelligences are watching over you right now.

Enjoy! http://vitalcoaching.com/babaji.htm

How to manifest a state of yoga

2009-05-07T03:35:00.001-07:00

Yoga means unity.

When you are in a state of unity you manifest your universal identity.

You function from a place where there is no separation between you and the cosmos, the planet, nature and humankind.

You know that we do live in a field of unified consciousness, right?

You experienced it in many ways.

Now, the goal of yoga is to experience that field all the time.

It is to be in a state of mystical union every single minute.

Now, the effects of this state of unity are so powerful that they transform your mind and body forever.

How to manifest a state of yoga?

The first step is to really understand what you want to do.

Once you have understanding, you need to connect with a stream of power and inspiration that will take you there.

It is like swimming in a river that takes you to the sea

Yoga is an invisible system.

No one fully owns it.

It is anywhere you are, not just in an Himalayan cave.

How does Babaji help you with this?

Well it is like getting the help and sponsorship from someone who travelled that path before.

Now, imagine connecting with a being who lives in a state of unity.

The first challenge you might face is to be able to relate to Babaji in a way which matches what he has to offer.

Imagine that you are standing in front of a semi god or avatar right where you are now.

Are you sure that trying to get his email address or physical address is the way to go?

You might try to relate to that being as if he was a person:

What does he eat?
What is his real name?
How can I meet him physically?
How old is he?
Where was he born?
Etc.

Now, these questions usually stay unanswered.

The questions that do get answered have nothing to do with Babaji's personality.

They have to do with your own spiritual development.

If you feel limited in the way you perceive Babaji's being, expand your imagination and realize that you are relating to an omnipresent energy reality.

This is as well called a guru field.

Guru means light.

Now, this energy field does respond to your emotions and intentions.

This energy field sees through you.

You might believe that because you relate to that energy field, you need to give up your power and destroy your personality?

Not at all!

You need your personality as a worldly vehicle.

You need to keep on functioning on this planet.

All these are key ideas to help you along the path.

The next step is to ask for help.

It is very simple:

This energy field can't connect with you unless you want to.

Simply express your call in one way or another:

"I am ready"
"Can you guide me?"
"I need your help"
Or any other expression of your desire to connect with that energy reality.

That's it :)

It's not so much the words, it is the intention.

Realize that you are communicating with a field of intelligence which is much vaster than yourself and much vaster than a person.

Now, you probably won't see the sky opening up or a voice talking to you (even though this could happen as well... Maybe :))

The guidance and inspiration you might receive is usually much more subtle.

Here are some examples of what can happen:

There is no clear answer but the following day you feel inspired to do something.
This action might look insignificant but it is one small step in the right direction.
Or you might have a sudden realization two days later.
Or you suddenly feel a strong stream of bliss.
Or you feel nothing at all.
Etc.

These are only some examples of course.

The range of experiences you can have are so diverse.

It is impossible to even attempt to describe them all.

The next step is to respond to this inspiration and actually take action.

Now, taking action can often feel like a small risk.

You don't really know what you are responding to.

It simply feels right.

To take action you need to trust yourself, trust your instinct and trust your source of inspiration.

As you can see, the whole process of manifesting a state of Yoga has its own inner dynamic.

While none of this is fixed and crystallized, you will still recognize some form of coherence behind the inspiration that touches you.

It all makes total sense once you start taking action in that direction.

Now, this "trust" dimension is essential.

Nothing happens unless you fully trust this field of energy and respond to it.

This field of energy can't inspire you unless you ask for help and guidance.

It might be just a one time question or call.

Or it might be a call you renew every day through meditation for instance.

This energy reality simply responds accordingly.

You are free!

Now, this is not exclusive.

The fact that you relate to this specific line of evolution does not mean that you have to cut contact with everything else.

It is not exclusive.

You are free!

That's it for today

Enjoy! ok?

"I called him through meditation for a month now - How come he does not speak to me?" - Question

2009-05-06T02:55:00.001-07:00

If you already meditated on some techniques and feel like there is no answer coming, it is simply because the answer you receive is usually very subtle and can hardly be felt.

Babaji can communicate to you in many ways and physical speech will probably not be one of them.

Why?

Because this is not how telepathic touch usually works.

This is not how a connection with a guru field usually works.

I know that you might have read books where a master appears to his disciples physically but for most people, this will never happen.

The results that you get from any spiritual practice are usually much more subtle and much less spectacular.

They are feelings of bliss, sudden inspiration to take some form of action, an inner feeling of love and so much more.

These are only examples.

Keep your mind free and be open to any experience even a no-experience.

Even if you don't feel or perceive a change it is still actually happening.

The spiritual training you are engaged into empowers your mind, body and spirit.

The impact of a technique is very subtle and it is often only after a few months that you notice a real difference in the way you perceive your life, thoughts, emotions and connections with what surrounds you.

"I try to meditate for an hour every day but can't keep up with it..." - Question

2009-05-05T02:07:00.001-07:00

There are two ways you can approach your spiritual training:

Through strong will power and discipline.
Through freedom!

If you force yourself into a discipline and use a lot of will power, after a while, your level of motivation might drop.

Time to shift and develop a new approach:

Focus on fun and excitement
Diversify your approaches
Use shorter meditations and practices
Ad new techniques
Etc.

Your mind might get bored when your practice the same technique over and over again without variation.

The Zen approach works well for certain.

Some people might prefer repeating the same technique without change.

Some others might prefer a more diversified and creative approach.

Suppose you have a mantra like "Anurakti Babaji":

(Love Babaji )

You can focus on it for hours in internal meditation
You can write it as calligraphy
You can create melodies and sing it loud
You can integrate it in a painting and create a piece of art with it
And so much more.

All these techniques are suitable! They all work!

Just choose the one that feels the easiest for you.

You can choose the easy path!

You can as well use discipline if you want to.

The truth is that you are free!

If you have a friend you want to contact, you can call them, text them, email them, visit them or ask a friend to transmit them a message.

All these techniques work and there isn't one which is better than the other.

No matter what technique you use, Babaji hears your call.

Simple, right? You are free!

Use this inspiration to transform your life

2009-05-04T01:06:00.001-07:00

There are two sides to your spiritual development:

The practices themselves
The actions that follow

The sources of inspiration you connect with are very powerful in changing and reorienting your mind patterns for instance.

Your mind and body are two essential aspects of your personal vehicle.

Use the inspiration you receive to shift what no longer works for you.

You can do that on the physical level by for instance training your body or shifting your diet.

You can do that as well on the mind level by shifting thoughts, ideas or emotions that no longer match what you feel.

Yoga is a state of unity. When you establish it in your existence, it naturally reflects on your mind and personality and starts shifting key aspects in it.

Respond to it and do take action.

Make your house your ashram

2009-05-03T00:06:00.001-07:00

Your ashram is where you are!

The reason why an ashram becomes a center of energy is because of a dedication.

You can transform the place you live in, in a glorious centre of shining power and energy!

All you have to do is start taking action in that direction, so that your outer reality reflects your inner state of mind.

If you start touching the space of yoga in you, let it reflect on your personal space.

Make it more than an altar in some corner of your house.

This energy is truly ready to embody itself where you are. All you have to do is give it space.

Clean!
Get rid of junk and clutter.
Let go of past memories you no longer need.
Harmonize your personal space
Practice right where you are
Sing
Write mantras on the walls and on objects in your personal space
Use sound and mantric power in your space
Yoga postures and dance
And more!

It can easily take a year of focus to rebuild your personal space's energy and empower it in this new way.

Invisible network - Inner system of connected energies

2009-05-01T23:05:00.001-07:00

There are probably millions of people on this planet who feel connected with the siddhas or kriya yoga streams.

Sirajala is a name for this invisible network of connections.

Sirajala - Invisible network

This invisible network will never be manifested in the form of a physical organization.

Why? Because it is free and open.

Perfection is right now!

2009-04-30T22:15:00.001-07:00

Here is a fresh perspective to help you grasp the essence of Yoga.

This exact moment is perfect because it is in total balance with all forces in the universe.

Even disequilibrium is just another form of balance.

You can wake up one day and realize that instead of chasing the future, a distant dream or desire, you see perfection in the instant.

It's a choice.

It is a conscious state of mind you embody because you choose to, not because it is forced on you.

The decision to see this very instant as total perfection is in your hands.

It is a conscious choice you can take right now

What about desires and unbalance?

2009-04-29T21:25:00.001-07:00

Of course, unbalance is another form of equilibrium that pushes you forward.

Desires are emotional forces which push you forward.

They are positive forces if you decide to see them that way.

They are part of creation. They are part of your mind and emotions.

Even a state of non desire is probably the result of a desire to be in that state.

So... The whole duality can be dropped now because there is only unity.

Unbalance functions in the same way.

Unbalance forces you to shift your mind posture to connect with new qualities.

Desires are still within this field of perfection because everything you know is included in it.

Now, it does not mean that you must stay passive and not change anything.

Your will power and conquering drive are lines of power within a much vaster stream of manifestation.

Your desire and will power is one flame within a vast planetary field of manifestation.

The power that you express is never disconnected.

It is always linked with a sponsoring energy which is vaster than yourself.

This is why there is nothing to be ashamed about.

Your desires and emotions are part of the story, not some mistake from creation.

The flame that you express is one amongst millions of burning flames stimulated by the same source of inspiration.

This is why you can embrace the forces that trigger your mind rather than rejecting or trying to suppress them.

They are part of the story... Your story!

Jnana Yoga

2009-04-28T20:56:00.001-07:00

There are so many ways to connect with Babaji!

The traditional kriya way that a few systems use is only one of them.

They often function around a few core techniques like a certain breathing technique or a specific set of yoga postures.

All these are of great value and do work.

However, they are not unique.

If you were focusing on developing new techniques to connect with Babaji, if you are skilled at it within a few months or years you would have designed your own unique system.

It could involve anything like rituals, devotional singing, yogic postures, mudras, specific mantric formulas and so much more.

There is no limit!

It is like climbing to the top of the Everest.

The fact that a team successfully used a certain route does not mean that this is the only way to the top.

Remember that you function from a state of freedom!

Babaji will never reject your call because you did not use a specific system or sang a wrong note.

Remember that Babaji is an intelligent energy field.

It is there to free you!

Not to limit you within a fixed set of rules and behaviors.

This is probably one of the key ideas to remember.

Oups... We were talking about Jnana, right?

Jnana stands for knowledge.

This is what I am doing now.

When you sit down and write down ideas which express a certain experience, that's what you do.

It is an art to create a conceptual architecture which matches your experience of reality.

You can design your own architecture of beliefs and play with ideas and concepts.

It is fun to do and the way to start is simply to dare.

Free your mind!

That's your possible doorway into Jnana Yoga

Bhakti writing! - Bhakti singing!

2009-04-27T19:58:00.001-07:00

If writing concepts does not work for you, you can try a more poetic approach which leans your writing towards artistic expression.

When you do, you practice bhakti.

Bhakti Yoga is a path of devotion.

Usually it is expressed in the form of singing and music but there is no limit, really.

You can dance, write devotional poems or prose or even express your devotion in theatrical forms.

When you write devotionally, you usually express beauty and love through your words.

In the West, it would be called romantic devotional poetry.

How does it sound?

If you want to try, simply write down the first poetic line or word that comes to your mind.

Here is what happens when I try:

"When I close my eyes..."

And then you follow up with whatever comes next...

When I follow up, here is what comes:

"When I close my eyes, I feel the nectar of your essence permeating my being.

The sensations are first like a light tingling in my mind and turn quickly into an ecstatic feeling of joy!

The love I feel is all encompassing and embraces every single living form on this planet.

I am at peace and delighted to know you!"

Yes! It is that easy to start:

"The light in the sky..."
"The sensations in my heart..."
"Wake up to the vibrant joy..."
Etc.

This would be Bhakti writing.

You can express the same via dancing or singing for instance, right?

What does it mean to express Bhakti?

Express what you feel by creating beauty!

Now, simply dare to take a step.

You don't need to be a professional singer to be devotional.

Wrong notes and imperfections are okay, really!

Even if what you write does not really "sound" poetic or harmonious, Babaji understands your intention.

Even if you feel you don't get it totally right in the begininng, don't worry.

It is a skill you can practice and develop within a few days or weeks of practice.

It goes very fast once you try.

You don't need to publish it (even though you can if you want to :)).

This is for you and him. It is like a set of intimate letters you keep for yourself.

Remember that this is a dialogue you establish with Babaji's being.

Right now, you are not doing that for your friends or neighbours.

This is your way of expressing your profound universal identity and feeling of connection you have with him.

If you feel that you want to connect with another source of inspiration rather than Babaji's being, then simply direct your devotional aspiration to the reality you choose.

It can be Shiva, Shakti or even another Guru field if you want to.

It does not even need to be out there. You can talk to yourself, your own spirit.

It can be God, Nature, elemental forces, whatever you decide to connect with through your unique devotional expression.

This is not about kriya or yoga or even Babaji.

It is about you!

It is about you owning your spiritual power, your spiritual tools, your spiritual development.

As you can see, there is a vast variety of ways to connect with spiritual realities.

If it is Babaji you have in mind, bhakti writing is one possible way! It is very effective.

Don't be afraid to try. There is nothing to fear.

You absolutely can't get it wrong :)

Kundalini and freedom!

2009-04-24T16:09:00.001-07:00

When you wake up your universal identity, it is essential that your channels of energy stay clear.

Waking up your energy expands your being, but to stay clear you as well need to increase your inner power and the clarity of your inner channels.

Breathing techniques, singing, dancing, postures all clear up your inner channels and make sure that your life force flows harmoniously.

You want to stay in a state of inner freedom rather than having your mind and body cluttered with undigested emotions and energies.

Most of this happens naturally through conscious positive life style choices.

Every action you take has an impact.

If you sing a power word, you invoke the energy behind that word and it naturally flows through your being and impacts right where it is needed the most.

The energy you invoke is intelligent.

It naturally does what it is supposed to.

Every now and then, you give nature a little help by consciously participating in your energizing process.

You will breathe a little deeper or a little faster to stimulate the flow of life force in your body.

In my mind, life force, kundalini and energy are all synonyms.

I don't really separate these concepts.

This simplifies things.

You are in a state of freedom when life force flows freely through your being.

If you feel undigested emotions in you, these tend to stay stacked in your system until you invoke or use a power strong enough to clear them.

When your level of power is high, this means that your energy channels are strong.

In that case, negative emotions and thoughts simply stay naturally out of your system.

They are cleared before they even touch you.

The higher your level of inner power, the freer you feel.

Renewal/Transformation/Change/Destruction

-----------------

experiment with both options and choose the one that suits you best.

Now you have to look at this idea from a positive perspective.

The force you are invoking is the power to remove what you no longer need in your mind and life.

This is what freeing is about, right?

Remember that this force is intelligent. It goes where it is needed the most. Trust it

If you feel that there are forces at play holding you back, take a martial art position and utter this word a few times with power.

Use your will power and determination. Imagine that you have an obstacle in front of you that you would like to destroy.

That's it!

What does it take to integrate a new technique?

2009-04-22T13:03:00.001-07:00

With simple meditation techniques, it can take as little as 5 min/day for a week.

That's it!

If you want this technique to stay with you and be able to recall it any time you need it, it often takes 1 to 3 months of practice.

If you practice a technique for that time, you will feel like you own it.

That's good news and means that integrating a new spiritual tool is relatively easy.

A technique shifts patterns on an energy level

It reprograms your mind.

This is why sometimes, even a 1 minute practice can have such a powerful impact: because you connect with a source of energy and this automatically stimulates change in your mind.

A new technique is more than a practice. It is the integration of a new energy.

Think short directive techniques rather than long hours practice.

Give rhythm for your mind to stay alert and fresh!

Tune into the future rather than into the past

2009-04-21T12:07:00.001-07:00

Put it this way: the past is already written.

The future is an infinite space of potential.

To move forward embrace the unknown!

If you spend most of your energy trying to recall the past, that's where you keep your consciousness.

It does give you some security and a sense of stablity but limits you as well.

It is like trying to walk forward while looking backwards.

Ask yourself:

"What can I do to be slightly ahead to where I am right now?"

Your home is the planet!

2009-04-20T11:18:00.001-07:00

When you stand with this core realization firmly in your mind, you jump straight into a new level of unity.

What you do is no longer about your house, property and belongings: it is about the planet.

You want to function from your universal identity?

Take action from this new core mind set:

Your home is the planet!

Your family is Humankind!

2009-04-19T10:21:00.001-07:00

We are one race!

Humankind is a gigantic enterprise and we are all linked in one sea of consciousness.

To strengthen your universal identity, establish this idea as a key pillar.

Sectarian and elitist attitudes divide you. They make you weaker. They isolate you.

Take action from this new base:

Your family is humankind

What is meditation?

2009-04-18T09:26:00.001-07:00

What is meditation?

Meditation is an activity and mind state.

What happens in the meditative state?

Meditation is a mind state in which you use your mind in a very specific way.

The goal is to enter into a new state of awareness in which the natural thinking patterns tend to slow down or even disappear.

The thinking activity tends to be replaced by a meditative trance in which new dimensions of awareness are being expanded.

You connect with some form of unified consciousness.

The technique you use and your intention will influence the result of your meditation.

There are various forms of intelligences on this planet and the single individual mind is only one of them.

You heard about the concept of collective consciousness which is a sea of unified intelligence which contains all human intelligences.

There are many forms of invisible intelligences at play. Devas, Spirits, Angels or Gods are some terms which express some of these invisible intelligences. Some can be seen as infinitely vast and far beyond human development and some others can be seen as being under the human development level like Elementals (like fairies).

When you meditate, you open new bridges of consciousness. You wake up new mind potentials.

The science of mediation has been on the planet for very long. It wakes up certain natural abilities that you tend to forget about when you follow up on your daily activities.

If you never consciously tried to meditate, you probably still experienced some form of meditative trance at one point or another in your life.

For instance, if one day, looking at the sea, you felt suddenly extremely happy, this experience can be related with a meditative type of trance or bliss.

So, meditation is something which happens naturally.

Sometimes you catch yourself day dreaming and after a few minutes, you realize that you don't really know what happened in that time.

You were still doing things but somehow, something took over and you lost awareness of what you were doing. You were fully focused on the stream of your thoughts, inner vision, or emotions.

You can sometimes observe a cat in some form of intense peace. There is no movement. In a way, this is a similar type of "meditative" trance.

All these minor aspects of human and animal experiences are the signs that our mind can be in various states of awareness.

Is this meditation? Well, not exactly.

These states of trance we just described (day dreaming and peace of the cat) are spontaneous.

They don't lead to expanded awareness but might generate some form of peace or break through idea.

Meditation goes deeper than.

With meditation, you try to consciously connect with some form of unified mind.

A meditation technique usually connects you with a new energy reality. You enter in contact or connect with a deeper part of your consciousness.

Have you ever had this impression that behind what you see, there is a network of energies which directs actions and events around you?

There is the reality that you see with your physical eyes and then, there is another reality which you perceive with your "inner eye".

What is this invisible reality?

It is the world of the mind.

Your mind is connected to your brain and physical body. Now, your mind is much vaster than what you see. There are layers and layers of awareness that you never open.

The goal of meditation is to explore these deeper layers of awareness.

Your mind is made of frames. You have millions of thoughts and emotions in your past which created highways of energies in you.

This is your mind. It is your mind set. It is like a forest of energies in which you opened certain path ways.

Now, your mind is not at the end of its development.

Suppose you go exploring the world and reach new territories (for instance a new unexplored continent).

What you want at that moment is to connect with a guiding force which will help you explore this new land.

This is what you do when you start meditating:

You step into this new unexplored area of your mind and observe the thoughts, plans, emotions and awareness that you encounter.

It is truly like exploring a new land.

What is this new land?

It is deeper layers of the unified mind.

If you follow an existing stream of consciousness by connecting with a specific master or tradition, you will connect with a given energy reality.

When you are born, your parents instruct you and transmit you a mind set through education.

You reproduce as well many patterns through mimetism.

You tend to imitate subconsciously your parent's behaviors and beliefs.

The same happens when you explore deeper layers of your mind. You use a sacred formula, or another technique to connect with a specific energy reality.

Basically, you "tune" into a new mind.

Suppose you go online on the internet. All you need is a website address to connect you with a whole world of intelligence and knowledge.

This web address is your connection. It is your key. Without it you could not enter, right?

A meditation technique works in the same way. The goal is to connect with a new energy reality.

Your mantra or technique is your guiding force.

It is a key.

It is a "consciousness address".

This technique gives you a path.

Next step

Take care
