The Field of All Possibilities Is Pure Consciousness, Your Self
Pure Consciousness, your Self, is a field of all possibilities. This Universe where we live is of the relative field. It is manifest, ever changing and bounded by space, time and causation. Pure Consciousness, on the other hand, is the field of the Absolute. It is unmanifest, never changing and unbounded. It is a field of all possibilities: all possibilities of an infinite number of universes evolving in an infinite number of ways. The possibilities expressed in any universe are all governed by Natural Law. The Law of Karma ensures that Creation remains in the stream of evolution. Pure Consciousness […]
Bliss Consciousness Is the Experience of the Transcendent in Your Meditation Practice
Bliss Consciousness is not of the relative field. Bliss Consciousness is never changing; unmanifest; unbounded and eternal. It is Absolute in Its nature. The relative field, the world that we live in, is always changing; manifest; bounded by space, time and causation, and with beginnings and endings. It is relative in its nature. Bliss Consciousness is the experience of the Transcendent in your Meditation practice. It is the experience when the relative field is transcended. Your Self, Bliss Consciousness, is left by ItSelf to experience ItSelf. Transcending the relative field in your Meditation practice is not an experience of your […]
Higher States of Consciousness Are Gained with Your Meditation Practice
We are all familiar with the states of Consciousness of the relative field: Waking, sleeping and dreaming. There are , however, higher states of Consciousness that a human being is able to gain. The first higher state of Consciousness is the Transcendent. Transcending the relative field in your meditation practice brings experience of the Transcendent, experience of your Self. Your Self is left by ItSelf to experience ItSelf. Your Self is Being, the Transcendent, the field of the Absolute. There is no experience of the relative field, no waking, sleeping or dreaming. Repeated and regular experience of the Transcendent cultures […]
There Are Many Reasons to Begin a Meditation Practice.
Some of the more surface value reasons to start a Meditation practice are: Unhappiness in your life. Stress. A desire for relaxation or peacefulness. Wanting to live more in the moment. And there are other deeper value reasons to begin a Meditation practice: An interest in the evolution of your consciousness. A curiosity about how Creation emerges, evolves and dissolves. Wanting to know who you are and what the purpose of life is. A desire to understand things you want to understand and to change things you want to change. Maharishi teaches that a Meditation practice that transcends the relative […]
The Secret of the Secret: Find Something That Works Better
The Secret, a short film, is about using your thoughts to bring about things that you want. This may work for some people some times, but only because it is in accord with the Karma each of them brought into this lifetime. There is a better way to fulfill desires than what the Secret proposes. All your thoughts and desires are unfolded by Natural Law, by the Law of Karma. The Karma you bring into this lifetime with you will determine which of your desires are fulfilled. To get the best expression of this Karma, develop a practice of meditation […]
Purification Can Be Rough: Have Faith in Your Meditation Practice
Sometimes external events, or even the unfolding of internal events, can bring roughness to your life. You may have feelings of unhappiness, fear or despair. Life can seem chaotic, cruel and violent. This is purification. Purification is necessary to refine and purify, so that something better may be experienced. In your evolution to higher states of Consciousness, evolution governed by Karma, there can be roughness at times, even with practices like meditation and yoga. The roughness is the difficulty integrating and metabolizing certain experiences. Maharishi teaches that having a practice of meditation where you transcend, minimizes the roughness in life. […]
A Response to Deepak Chopra’s Video You Are Not Your Thoughts
Deepak Chopra states in a video that you are not your thoughts. He says that your thoughts are influenced from birth by your circumstances, your parents and the culture where you live. There is truth to this statement, but it is a surface value level of truth. Maharishi teaches a far deeper and more profound truth. You are not the author of your thoughts, your words, or your actions. All thoughts, words and actions are governed by Natural Law. Natural Law emerges from the field of Being and vibrates, manifesting as the entire relative field, including your mind and physiology. […]
Unity Consciousness Is Defined Differently in Different Practices
In the practice of Advaita, Unity Consciousness is the Consciousness of Being as the only reality. The relative field and all of Creation is Maya: That which is not. In Advaita, Unity Consciousness is the Consciousness of the unity of Being as all that there is. Maharishi teaches that Unity Consciousness defined by Advaita is the first stage of Enlightenment: One knows oneself as separate from the relative field; One knows oneself as Being, as the Self; One knows that Being is the essential constituent of the relative field . In Maharishi’s teaching, there are two realities of life: The […]
The Law of Attraction Is an Incomplete Expression of the Law of Karma
The Law of Attraction is a belief that thinking positive thoughts will bring positive things into your life. Thinking negative thoughts will bring negative things into your life. But the Law of Attraction is just an incomplete and misleading expression of the Law of Karma. The Law of Karma is a Law of Nature that governs all of the created world, all of the relative field of existence. The Law of Karma states: As you sow, so shall you reap. The word Karma means action in Sanskrit. For every action there is an effect that will come back to the […]
