The Purpose of the Spiritual Quote

 
Words are energy in motion.  They speak directly to the conscious and subconscious mind, which is where we desire the shifts to occur in order to manifest change in our world.  Energy always does better when it is reinforced through a larger supply.  Enlightenment brings with it that larger supply or a greater degree of light.  "Plugging" into that light, so to speak, by focusing our attention, listening to and absorbing the energy that comes through one who is already enlightened and has achieved mastery brings enlightenment and healing.  It in effect, will "speed" the progress of those who are less enlightened.
 
"There is a difference between CONCENTRATION and MEDITATION.  Concentration is a necessary preliminary to and component of meditation; it means to draw your attention from all objects of distraction and focus it on one thing at a time."
 
"Concentration is more than mere visualization.  They are two different things. VISUALIZATION employing only the mind's faculty of imagining produces hallucination.  CONCENTRATION brings in the WILL FORCE OF THE SOUL.  Focused or GUIDED VISUALIZATION is one of the parts of concentration, but concentration is the whole."
Paramahansa Yogananda
 
Step One
  
You know that you have a desire for a path for yourself that yields Peace, Happiness, Prosperity, and so on.  And, you know that Meditation is supposed to bring you into that side of your self and into that side of your life.  What is being said in the first spiritual quote is that in order to get to true meditation, one must master concentration; which is a necessary component of Meditation.  One must do this in order to invoke and connect to the Will Force of the Soul.  That Will Force of the Soul will connect you directly to Spirit, or Higher Self. 
   
The second quote says that Guided Visualization is helpful, but that the concentration of the individual is still a necessary part of the equation. 
 
Too often in our lives we become scattered and lose the ability to concentrate as "life happens".  Remembering to concentrate on our priorities is a decisively important part of "self life coaching".  However, one may need to stop and take time to concentrate in order to manifest what those priorities are! Not many people can or are willing to do that!  Or, they become confused with what is important to them.  What is important to their heart, they lay aside for "life".  Then they confuse what the mind says is the priority with what their true heart's desires are.  A good example is the story "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. 
   
Believe it or not, concentration above meditation is a practical first step to your desired life changes and/or accomplishments.  Therefore, step one today is to set your intent to DESIRE TO CONCENTRATE ON YOUR PRIORITIES! 
 
Step Two
  
Decide and define what concentration is to you. Be truthful with yourself. 
   
Then practice the definition.  Choose one thing to concentrate on for one minute each day.  For instance, focus on seeing money come into your life. 
   
Simplify!  Just see the money come into your life!  That's all.  Don't worry about what your life is or how the money will come in, etc. 
  
Step Three
 
Each day speak to your heart as if it were a person you loved dearly standing in front of you. 
   
Ask your heart what its priorities are. 
   
Write those priorities down.  Then make a vow to your heart to concentrate on those priorities.
