Meditation can be a the
continuous, contemplative attention to uncovering the true nature of
our being. Since we are an infinite creative
being of infinite consciousness we will find there are an
infinite number of ways to be in a continuous contemplative
attention of our own nature. Similarly, as an infinite being, it
will take an infinite time to explore each facet of our being if we
were to explore them all. However, some facets of our being allow us
to more quickly understand exactly who and what we are. Since there
are an infinity of methods from which to chose, any of them can be a
path to understanding of our true nature and some work easier than
others.
What is provided here has been found to be the quickest way to both
explore our true nature and utilize the truth of our true nature in
our creative endeavors. Only a sampling of what is available is
presented here and includes those that can get you started. Only a
sampling is presented here for two reason. One is that nothing is
being kept from you. Whatever can be put on the web on this topic is
provided. But much of the effort is in actual practice and that is
something which cannot be put on the web or in any book and what you
experience will be unique to your own being. The latter point is the
second reason only a sampling can be provided to you. You are a
unique being and you will have to see what works best for you. You
should expect your meditation practice to evolve into something
unique to your own being. If it doesn’t, you are probably following
someone else’s path rather than your own and that will take you
longer than necessary.
The easiest and quickest way to uncover one’s true nature and to
focus on our creative passion, yet paradoxically the hardest for
many individuals is the way of the heart. Here we use the term heart
to mean what is
symbolized by the heart. That is, aligning and flowing with
one’s creative life energy in mindfulness and awareness It become
hard because of the experiences we had early in life that have
caused us to deny our creative spirit and our creative passion. .
Our heart know the path to happiness and inner peace. It knows the
path to life and what gives us life. When we forget the message of
what is
symbolized in our heart or fail to listen to our heart we feel
unfilled and unhappy. We become trapped by the mundane world and
fall into ruts and habits of the past. One simply needs to align
with the flow to find this path.
If you explore the deepest longings of your heart and/or explore the
cause of the desire for a beloved/Beloved you will find the heart is
only longing for itself. The heart longs to feel the
source/Source of its own being that flows within its being.
Mind, by how and what it thinks and believes about itself separates
itself from the source/Source of it existence. In aligning with the
flow of one’s creative life energy one returns to the source/Source,
its source and the Source of all that is.
When we fail to live what is
symbolized in our heart we get depressed and anxious about life
and we have little energy for life and for living. We blind
ourselves and blur our perspective. We forget the bigger picture as
to why we are here and lose our way in the process. Meditation
should help remind us of what we already know and should not replace
the passion in our heart for life, for living and what we came to do
in physical creation. Meditation should not cause us to withdrawal
from life. Rather it should teach us to embrace life and energize us
to move into life more fully and more passionately.
It is important to learn the art or technique of quieting the mind.
It is important that the endless chatter that normally fills our
consciousness is stilled. But it needs to be stilled so that we can
listen and follow our heart. To deny the body other than temporarily
to gain the ability to calm the mind will cause one to deny both the
Creator of our body and Creation itself.
our creative passion is what gives us a joy for life, a joy for
living and that what makes us feel alive. It is what makes us love
life and free to embrace life. It was the path we were following as
a child until our external world convinced us to change.
To us this method as a meditation we focus on our creative passion
whatever it is and do whatever our creative passion leads us to do.
Then as obstacles arise to doing that passion, in mindfulness and
awareness look at all the reasons, distractions, barriers and the
like the prevent us from living your life doing what gives us that
passion for life. As the reasons, distractions, and obstacles arise,
it is recommended we then consult our intuition as to what needs to
be done to address each of them in turn removing them as a barrier.
In the process we being to explore and learn the depth and breadth
of our creative power and can begin to see how we are the creator of
the experiences.
As we move closer to living our creative passion, we will find
ourselves living more and more in a state of spontaneous and
innocent childlike play of discovery and exploration of the
universe. We will be in wonderment and ah at how the universe
operates and have all the mystical experiences and esoteric
revelations that we could ever want. If we are not moving more and
more into spontaneous and innocent childlike play, we are not living
our creative passion but only living to something our mind has
created to mask our true passion and our true nature.
The mind is a master at getting what it wants and what it thinks The
way of the heart and what is
symbolized in the heart is difficult for many of us is because
we will have to address and change the habits our mind has created
to protect us and respond to the world when the world would not let
us be in that state of spontaneous and innocent childlike play as a
child. Since many of these habits go back to the earliest days of
childhood, they are deeply integrated and very fundamental to how we
live our life. Since they are so deeply imbedded within our being,
they are also very interconnected to how we have defined ourselves.
As we attempt to change these habits we end up changing who we think
we are and literally redefining ourselves and the world in which we
live.
If we are willing to do the work to break these habits and deal with
any residual pain that might still exist, this way is the easiest,
quickest and gentlest way to discover one’s true nature. This
technique of meditation is best characterized by doing and acting on
what surfaces within one’s being in the spontaneity and innocence of
a child discovering and exploring the universe. Here we are
discovering and exploring our own true nature. If we live our
creative passion, we will find our mind becomes very focused and
centered in our passion with little or no effort to either “train”
the mind to follow the passion and over come distractions or to do
what the passion requires. The realization that will need to occur
in this meditation technique to see our true nature is why we have
the creative passion that we do and not another. If you wish, you
can answer these questions simply by setting the intention to
uncover them then consult your intuitive guidance for answers.
