Teachings On Meditation
Part 4

from Teachings On Meditations 3)
Stage
II
1. Repeat rapidly Stage I, taking not more than five minutes
in so doing. Lift your consciousness and relate the head and
the heart. Repeat thoughtfully the mantram which eventually
leads to the realization of unity.
2. With the focus of the consciousness then in the head, summon
the Will to your aid and by an act of the will carry the energy
focused in the head to the solar plexus. To facilitate this
process, you can use the following formula:
a. I am the soul. And also love I am. Above all else I am
both will and fixed design.
b. My will is now to lift the lower self into the light divine.
This light I am.
c. Therefore, I must descend to where the lower self awaits
my coming. That which desires to lift and that which cries
aloud for lifting are now at-one. Such is my will.
Whilst saying these mantric words (taken from a very ancient
disciples' manual) vision pictorially the process of focusing
- demanding - descending and at-one-ing.
3. Pause here and endeavor to feel and sense the initiatory
vibration or embryonic interplay which is being established
between the awakened and the awakening points within the solar
plexus. This can be done, but it involves an act of slow concentration.
4. Then sound the OM twice from the head center, knowing yourself
to be the soul which is breathing it forth. Believe this sound,
carried on the breath of will and love, as capable of stimulating
the solar plexus in the right way and able to transmute the
lower energies so that they will be pure enough to be carried
first of all to the awakening point and from that point eventually
to the heart center.
5. As you vision the energies of the solar plexus being carried
up the spine to the heart center (situated, as you know, between
the shoulder blades) I would ask you to breathe out the 0M
again into the solar plexus but this time, having done so,
draw the focused energy up the spine towards the head. The
vibration thus established will carry the energy to the heart,
for it has to pass through that center in the spine on its
way to the head. In the early stages that is as far as it
may go, but later it will pass through the heart, leaving
its due quota of energy, and finally reach the head center.
6. Then focus yourself in the heart, believing that a triangle
of energy has been formed between the head, the heart and
the solar plexus. Vision it then as composed of the energy
of light, something resembling a triangle of neon light. The
color of this neon light so-called will be dependent upon
the ray of the soul.
7. Then again repeat the Mantram of Unification, beginning
"The sons of men are one..."
8. Standing, therefore, in the center of the heart see the
energy of your group brothers as the radiating spokes of a
great wheel of light. This wheel has twenty-four spokes and
at the center of the wheel, like the hub of the wheel, can
be found your Master (D.K.). Then slowly with love, mention
aloud the names of each of your group brothers, not omitting
yourself.
9. Then see this wheel as actively moving and scintillating,
and thus serving humanity through its focused radiation. This
radiation is the radiation of love. All the above is purely
symbolic but carried out as a visualization process for some
months - consistently and consciously - it will create a state
of mind and of awareness which will be enduring because "as
a man thinketh, so is he."
10. Then close with the new Invocation and also with the Gayatri,
with its emphasis upon one's duty.
OM OM OM
This meditation process is relatively simple if you familiarize
yourself with its stages for a few weeks. Much of the above
is explanatory in nature and can be dispensed with when you
can follow the process automatically.
I will now proceed to give you each your personal, instructions
and individual meditation. This meditation should be done
at some time of the day which is not the time chosen for the
group meditation. I do not want the two meditations done together
at the same time, for I do not want your personality problems
and your possible glamors to be interjected into the group
consciousness. Beware of doing this because the task of each
of you is hard enough without being complicated by the personal
problems of some distressed brother in the group. In giving
you your personal instructions, I shall speak with complete
frankness and shall not spare you either praise or blame.
If you resent what I may say, then it will simply indicate
the power of your personality to react unfavorably to the
truth and will consequently point out to you an area of blindness
and of weakness in your consciousness. You will be thereby
the gainer and will be able to grasp somewhat more clearly
the nature of the battle which you have to fight.

Hi
Aymen
I must tell you, I read your book, and I've read many a metaphysical
book, but your knowledge as expressed by you, made me feel your
data is valuable information (MAYBE
THE VERY BEST)... You have a
way of clarifying that which you're teaching, making what is extremely
difficult (spiritual awareness) understandable, clear to me the
student...
Sincerely,
Darren

and those like me who are following the spiritual path.
With love n' light,

I didn't believe it at first.
I was pretty stubborn and thought I knew how to handle my life but
the part about getting rid of sexual thoughts intrigued me so I
went ahead - It's the best thing I've ever done.

Just a quick note to say hello
and thanks. I discovered I actually spent so much time fantasizing
about sex, what a waste of energy. Now I focus on my wife and my
business. The result is amazing.
