Good Morning!
I feel like I outwitted my ego this morning. We have much on our plates as we leave for a Core IV training to Bulgaria on Tuesday and had another call scheduled from Bulgaria this AM. In the past this has played havoc with my meditation schedule and my ego becomes more and more resistant as I engage in the day's demands.
This morning I woke up and did my usual Upon Awakening routine. I changed it up a bit and noticed it didn't matter in what order I did the longer affirmations. They still have that spiritual punch! I also noted how happy it made me to say "I and my ONE are ONE." This is an absolutely TRUE statement and the more it is repeated, the more assured one becomes of it's verity. I also like the fact that it testifies to the absolutely positive state of every soul's final outcome. Do you realize each of us, ALL of us, will end up in bliss?!!! Whether it's this lifetime, 1,000 lifetimes, or 100,000 lifetimes, we ALL will end up with a Happy Ending to the story of living! I realize there really is NO ending...and yet, this difficult part of our story...where we falsely believe we are separate from Our Source and thus Our Happiness...will be over once and for all! That realization makes me so happy that I actually believe there could be no depression for anyone if they repeated that short affirmation until the depth of it's meaning permeated their Consciousness!
As I lay there I considered the true purpose of my techniques of meditation. Each one is really to get the Consciousness, the Life Force, into the spine! My technique of Concentration and my technique of Meditation both are "jamming" the input of outer thoughts...which would lead my Consciousness back into the External. Kriya, most of all, creates a magnet in my spine which attracts my Life Force and Consciousness.
I realized one of the reasons I "see" less light, etc. at my Spiritual Eye, or have less "spiritual experiences" of related nature than others I know, is because I do not successfully get most of my Consciousness/Life Force into my spine! I still have a lot of energy moving outward into the Fraud World.
I realized that although I take to devotion, prayer, affirmation like a duck to water, this merely prepares the ground, so to speak, for the most part. (There are sometimes exceptions.) They get me Consciously engaged in the spiritual...yet they don't necessarily remove my Life Force from the external. They work to motivate and inspire me to do so, yet don't really get the job finished.
This perspective shifted the way I did each of my meditation techniques this morning. I did them with the outlook that I was transferring my Consciousness and Life Force into the spine. Wow...what an assist!
I also never got out of bed...I chose to avoid the pull of all the demands of today. I completed my lengthy meditation and THEN I got up! Just in time for the phone call. That was the way I tricked my ego!
Interestingly, I noticed my experience of the Spiritual Eye was much brighter and more defined than average. The experiment worked! More Life Force/Consciousness in the Spine equals more experience of the Spiritual dimensions. This is exactly what the purpose of meditation is! We begin to realize from experience that the REAL World is the paradise within!
Lovingly you always, k
