COMPLEX TASKS SIMPLIFIED by SLOW MOTION TECHNIQUES - Like Meditation






THE MECHANICS OF MEDITATION
Step by step in slow motion


The Reality of my life cannot die, for I am Indestructible Consciousness. I am Infinite, Space less, tireless & beyond Body, Thought, & Utterance, beyond all Matter & Mind. I am Endless BLISS.   

WHY MEDITATE?
To attain conscious awareness of the Creator & of our-Souls eternal oneness with Him.

Concentration – consists in freeing the attention from distractions & focusing it on any elevated THOUGHT. Basically, it amounts to being a master of your five senses, total self-sovereignty.

Contemplation consists of holding that elevated THOUGHT for a long time. Looking at it from all angles, exploring its subtle meanings by churning it over.

PREPARING TO MEDITATE?

Sit still with a straight spine, preferably on the floor with legs locked in & palms facing upwards, resting comfortably on the thighs. Take a few deep breaths & exhale the stagnant air out completely. Settle down with normal breathing. Cover up your fidgety eyeballs with the shutters of your eyelids. Lock the eyelid doors & shut out the wild dance of tempting scenes. Hold them still too. Fix the gaze of restless eyes on the spot between the eyebrows, very gently, loosely & effortlessly.

Try to be CALMLY ACTIVE & ACTIVELY CALM inwards.

Now loosen your mind from the Consciousness of the Body Weight. Leave behind the heavy bundle of bones tied in the thick cloth of flesh. Untie the nerve strings, weighing down your soul. Drop your mind into the bottomless well of your heart, that is bubbling with life giving blood. Keep your attention tied to the heart till you feel its rhythmic beating. Meditate on this mental freedom & new ability of the soul to fly & hover up to Infinity. Imagine, dwell & dream. Transfer thy consciousness to the inner world.    

KEEP BROADCASTING TO SELF

I am happy in the Happiness of dear ones, who are on Earth or in the great beyond.
Divine Love is the Magnet that attracts all Blessings & Blessedness.


MEDITATE ON GOING HOME

I stayed long reveling with all of you dancing with my variously costumed thoughts, drinking the wine of my feelings & my mundane will. I have now forsaken the intoxication of Delusion.
Goodbye muscles, bones & bodily motions.
Farewell breath. I cast thee away from my breast.
Adieu heart throbs, emotions, thoughts & memories.
Bye-bye blue house of heaven.
So long stars, celestial celebrities & your dramas on the screen of space.
Ta-ta flowers with your traps of beauty & fragrance.
Salutations to the warm embrace of sunshine.
Leave taking from the cool soothing comforting breeze.
Cheerios entertaining music of man.
I am flying Home in a plane of Silence. I go to feel my heart throb in Him. I have always been in the sacred presence of my Father.
I was lost, Father, in the wastelands of wrong beliefs, now I can not find my way Home. Please rise on the darkness of my mental sky & be the polestar of my groping mind. Lead me to thyself, who art my Home.

DISTRACTED – START AGAIN

I close my physical eyes & dismiss the temptations of matter. I peer through the darkness of Silence until my eyes of relativity open into one inner eye of Light. When my two eyes that behold good & evil become single & behold in everything, only the divine goodness of the Creator.

GOING WITHIN

I was a prisoner carrying a heavy load of bones & flesh, but now I have broken the chains of my muscle-bound body by the power of RELAXATION. I am free now. I shall try to go within. I enter the dim corridor through the door of the Spiritual Eye & speed on until at last the river of my life flows into the Ocean of life & loses itself in Bliss.

SEEING THE PEACEFUL LIGHT WITHIN

Look at a light & close your eyes. Forget the darkness around you & watch bright red color within your eyelids. Look more intently into violet red color. Imagine it becoming bigger & bigger. You are the wave of light, a ripple of Peace floating on the surface of the sea of light. Now watch carefully the little wave tossing on the Ocean of light. A little shallow wave going wide & deep into the Ocean of Peace. Peace is the Ambrosial wine of Spirit flowing in a Drama of sad & happy dreams, on the stage of experience. Once again fix your mind inwardly between the eyebrows on the shore less lake of Peace. Watch the eternal circle of rippling peace around you spreading outwardly to the forehead, to the heart & to every cell in your body. This flood of Peace flows over the boundaries of your mind & moves in infinite directions.

LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF THE CREATOR

Listen to the cosmic sound of AUM. A great hum of countless atoms in the sensitive right side of your head. Hear its pounding Roar spreading through the brain, spine, heart & every tissue. It holds all matter in manifestation like the words of speech in your head. Matter & bodies melt into the Universe & you melt into soundless voice & sound melts into all shining light, which enters the bosom of Infinite Joy.
  
ENTERING THE WELL OF SILENCE

His laughter caught my heart. His Joy invaded my sorrowful being as I swung in a hammock beneath the pines under the blue sky. I felt the sky astir & His presence moving through me. My body became still, my power of Silence dug into my bosom, until a bottomless well of Bliss sprang up. All things in the Creation drank of me. Then satisfied they plunged into the waters of my Immortality. All melted in the Ocean of my all dissolving Silence.  

EXPANDING TO INFINITY IN ETERNITY

Eternity yawns at me below, above, in the left & on the right, in front & behind, within & without. With open eyes I behold myself as the little body. With closed eyes I perceive myself as the cosmic center around which revolves the sphere of eternity & bliss.


IN DEVOTION THEY BEG OF HIM TO TEACH

Teach me to open the gate of Meditation that alone leads to Thy blessed presence.
Teach me the mystery of my Existence, O beloved Father.
Teach me to worship Thee in breathlessness & deathlessness.
Teach me to reclaim my birth right & to live as an Immortal.
Teach me to behold Thy face in the mirror of my stillness within.
Teach me to think of Thee until Thou dost become my only Thought.
Teach me to find Thy presence on the alter of my constant Peace & in the Joy that springs from deep Meditation.
Teach me to drink the everlasting Nectar of Joy found in the Fountain of MEDITATION.


IN KNOWLEDGE / GYAN HE ACTUALLY TEACHES US
& WE MAKE THE EFFORT TO IMBIBE

I am the irresistible Fire of Smiles. I will help weeping ones to smile, by smiling myself, even when it is difficult.
I have buried / cremated dead disappointments in the cemeteries of yesterday.
I will water them with Self confidence & faith & wait for the Divine to give me the rightful harvest.
I will not become Lazy & mentally ossified.
I will not be overactive, able to earn money but unable to enjoy life.
I will Meditate to maintain true Balance.
I will perform all duties serenely & saturated with Peace.
I will light the match of Smiles so that my gloom veil will disappear. The soul is hiding behind the accumulated darkness of ages.
I will admire the good qualities of all nationalities & will not put my Attention on their Errors.
I will break the boundaries of Self Love.
I will drink Vitality from the Golden Fountain of Sunshine.
I will drink Peace from the Silver Fountain of Mooned Nights.
Today I open the door of my calmness & let the footsteps of Silence gently enter the temple of all my activities.
Today I will sow the seeds of Wisdom, health, prosperity & Happiness.
I saturate myself with the perfume of Thy presence & I wait to Waft with the breeze, the Aroma of Thy Message of LOVE to all.

PROGRAMMING YOUNG MINDS EARLY & CORRECTLY



PROGRAMMING YOUNG MINDS EARLY & CORRECTLY


SLAVES OF TECHNOLOGY & ELECTRONIC GADGETS


Childhood fun and ecstasy have been snatched away by today’s technology and it’s overpowering ever newer gadgets. We have become slaves again even though our forefathers fought and died for our freedom. We are not free at all. We are slaves of internet, emails, video games, and computers. We are deeply addicted to texting and cell phone chatting. We are literally drowning in the ocean of U-tube, Facebook updating & twitter mania. 


What will all of do if the INTERNET was to CRASH, & never come back. We would become EMPTY & that is what the CREATION needs to recover to its original state of PURITY.  


INACTIVE ON THIS COUNT THEREFORE OBESE

Our children suffer extreme slavery by being INDOORS & INDOLENT. This adversely affects their physical & mental development making them obese, sick, dehydrated, poor people skills and introverts. Who is going to bail out our teens and pre-teens from this predicament? You kids and teenagers, have to help yourself and get out of this addictive slavery and claim back your freedom before it becomes lethal and catastrophic. Time is running out, act right now or else you will miss the bus. This is a very serious matter because it has direct bearing on your mental development and physical health.


SPECIAL BOARDING SCHOOLS FOR THE ROYAL KIDS

In olden days the Kings and Emperors had army of scholars and teachers in their palaces to cater to the educational needs of their princes and princesses. Their children were taught all kinds of skills, from horse riding to sword fencing, multiple languages, and host of other specialties. Many times they were sent away to far off remote places for hard training and tough living conditions which helped in their proper grooming as natural heirs to the kingdom. Our man Gautama Buddha opted out of this stereo type education, abandoning the luxuries of his palace to search for the truth, all on his own and succeeded wonderfully. I salute him and am grateful for giving us the secret to happiness. 

ARMED FORCES TRAINING HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME

Today we have the military training which comes close to the above analogy but the timing is little too late. First our teens waste away their precious teen years getting the wrong inputs and then the military spends twice the effort to right the wrongs on those who opt out for the military carriers. 


LIFE LESSONS HAVE TO LEARNT ANYHOW

The others who remain in civilian jobs have to sweat it out the hard way. When you do not conform to the industrial and social norms you are left out of the main stream, doing low end work for your survival. These inputs are especially for all pre-teens and teens who wish to excel in life and all kinds of fields. It is strategically structured to put things in the right perspective for the children to decipher for themselves. These life lessons serve as a personal counseling session, one on one which could last up to six hours if not more, but you must take your own sweet time to master the life lessons. When you have mastered them go out and teach them to another friend/junior. It will help you recapitulate your lessons in a very subtle manner.                                       


Personally, I was very fortunate to study in good schools and even go to a boarding school for my all round development of my faculties, motor skills, social interaction foundations, and sense of discipline. I still remember my dormitory, bed & closet in the “Nilagiri House” which sat high upon a hillock apart from the other three houses. The daily treks to the classrooms and dining halls was a fair amount. I was thrilled to be living in such a paradise. Today after 50 years when I look back at these indispensable inputs I had at the Lawrence School Sanawar, I feel it was the best thing that ever happened for my, self-esteem and self confidence. With out these inputs I would have been a different person gone astray, a very average man, almost a misfit in life. My elder brother enlisted in the Indian Army as an officer and he had a big hand in influencing our childhood development too.


WELL FROGS VERSES SEA FROGS

 
LACK OF EDUCATION AT GRAND FATHER STAGE


We all grow up as well frogs with hundreds of limitations upon us. Don’t do this, don’t do that, this is wrong, that is not acceptable. Why we are like this?  It is so, because our parent well frogs were brought up this way, with thousands of limitations, restrictions, imposed upon them, by their ignorant, less educated grand parent frogs, in the same small “well” environment. Everything that we are today has been brought forward, from the past generations. We well frogs internalized it all, our parents beliefs, superstitions, notions, perceptions of life and their small world. All this learning happened without our knowing, because we were very young and ignorant then. Our hard drives, in the brain were brand new, and untouched.  

FIXATED ON OUR BELIEFS & TEACHINGS - 

Now we are grown up, and mature enough to understand this folly. We well frogs, take one leap across the well and believe that this is the whole world, totally unaware of the reality. If there are lots of trees around your well, it is bound to be dark, down inside, the well. Hence we automatically perceive and believe, very strongly that there is no sun. But sun does exist. Our belief does not change reality.  
  
STUCK IN THE SMALL ENVIRONMENT


If a sea frog happens to drop into our wells and tell us about the big powerful sun and its light and heat, we will fight with him, deny it to ourselves, defend our wrong belief and feel very miserable with ourselves. Is this right or wrong on your part? Wrong definitely, but we still do it, all the time. During high winds and storms on the earths surface, we well frogs are unaffected by them. Deep down in our wells, it is always calm and all we have is small ripples. We do not believe in storms, because we do not know about them. But our sea frog, friend feels differently. He tells us about gigantic waves, as high as ten storied buildings and killer storms. Again, we do not believe him. We call him a liar, aggressively deny him, and defend our narrow belief of ripples. We feel upset and troubled inside us. Is this attitude of ours to keep a closed mind, right or wrong? You decide for yourself.

DIFFERENCE OF DAY & NIGHT - UNBELIEVABLE 

We might have microscopic fish, worms and insects inside our small wells. The biggest fish could be say two cm long and you truly believe that this is the biggest fish possible. Now again our friendly sea frogs will talk about twenty feet long and fifty tone whale fishes and hundreds of other marine life. Once again, we do not believe him and call him names and a lunatic for imagining all this. It is fiction for us but a true reality for him. This is the way we continue to live in our small “Well World” of wrong beliefs and notions and finally die. It does not matter to anyone, just you. Therefore, wake up from your slumber, of small world and be informed correctly. Look beyond your well.
 

CLOSED MIND & TUNNEL VISION
 

One day it rains very heavily and fills up the well, with flood waters. The poor well frogs are out of their well and floating about. You feel lost and uncomfortable, but the flood waters have no mercy for you, your stupid beliefs and you are swept away, by the strong flow of water into the sea first and then into the ocean. We are taken out of our little illusion about the tiny world and thrown into the big, real world. All our foolish beliefs are shattered, we are devastated, and feel defeated and confused. The sun is up and shinning brightly, the sea water is salty, not sweet. The waves are five stories high and the big fish are really gigantic and ready to eat you up.               
 

OPEN UP YOUR MINDS & GROW UP

Dear well frogs, be open minded, always. Do not own any preconceived notions, stupid beliefs that have been brought forward, from previous generations. My own ancestor well frogs, five hundreds ago, believed very strongly, that the earth was flat. But the earth is round. It took one daring, well frog to think, out of the box, and believe otherwise that the earth is round, and not flat. He was Galileo, my hero. When he observed that the ships were disappearing at the horizon, he concluded that the earth had to be round and not otherwise. 
Recently, we have gone up in space, confirmed the fact for sure, that the earth is not only round, but spherical and the oceans are not emptying out in space, as our ancestors believed so.



Personally, I am open minded and willing to experiment with new ideas, theories and concepts. I have learnt most of the natural healing practices but the single most concept of Cosmic Energy as the basis of our health is so very true and self affirming that we need not go hunting any further. I am forever grateful to the community for pulling me in this direction. I am game to any thing out of this world. We have to give all new paradigms a try, and I do it always. Working for 25 years in Tata Steel an integrated plant made me into a sea frog. The scale of exposure here was invaluable, which prepared me to venture out of India to Canada, a foreign unknown country. Now I can say with authority that the biggest magic trick is to remain happy & peaceful in this world of suffering, turmoil & grief.
