2 Methods of Meditation
"One path of meditation
is to firmly fix
your attention
in this moment.
To not let yourself
get caught up in thinking
but rather to directly
experience what is here
beyond thinking
and to remain in that.
Do not try to stop thinking
but rather keep your attention
fixed on what is here beyond thinking,
allowing the thoughts to go
as as they arise.
You could also simply
dip in and out of that.
To let your focus rest in what is here
beyond thinking
for as long as is comfortable
and then lose yourself
in thinking again.
To dip in and out of it
is very blissful,
but if you want to be
really intense about it
you can keep your attention
in this moment
without allowing yourself
to get caught up in thinking.
This method will be uncomfortable,
like trying to make a puppy be still
when it wants to run all over the place.
But with practice,
if you can remain in that,
then what first feels uncomfortable,
will begin to feel natural.
You will burn away all
of the tendencies that keep
pulling you out of this moment
until all that is left is this moment.
Another path would
be to awaken bliss
by focusing your attention
on an object of bliss/shakti.
Such as silently repeating a mantra
or the name of a Guru, Saint or God
or even repeating "I am"
and focusing on the feeling of being.
In doing this,
you awaken the Shakti,
you awaken the bliss
and then you simply meditate
on the bliss,
letting your mind
be focused on the repetition
of the name/mantra
and letting your attention
move deeper and deeper
into the bliss.
Both methods are valid.
If you practice
awakening the bliss,
then most likely at some point
it will lead you to the first path
of stillness.
And if you practice stillness,
at some point it may
turn into devotion.
What is most important
is that you give yourself fully
to practicing it,
allowing it to evolve on its own.
Eventually both methods
will be useless
and you will simply
fall into what is here.
The radiance of this moment
will become so strong
that there will only be that.
Blessings,
Kip"
Please Note:
My main teaching
is for you to immerse yourself
in Kundalini Shakti -
the energy one naturally
radiates in the highest states
of enlightenment.

you effortlessly awaken
to your natural state of unconditional
peace, bliss and freedom.

Tape 5 (Continuation...)
And those who had near-death experiences and came back, they might have been lying on their death bed and could already see consciousness - see the people around them - they wanted to tell them, "Don't cry, this is beautiful." They had already encountered the other of death. Because if you look at it from the dissolving form, death is dreadful. Once the form has dissolved, death is an opening.

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
October 16th
Silence and noise
Silence is a word that points to the endless, peaceful depth of the universe.In the dream of being a separate person, the mind appears noisy.It stays busy rehashing the past, arguing with what is happening now, and searching for some future moment.When you look within in an absolutely honest way for this "I" that is making this noise, all that is found is silent emptiness.There is no noisemaker.There is only the noise.
When the dualistic mind first hears that there is no separate self - that there is only this silent emptiness - it may continue making noise. Let that happen. Do you have a choice anyway?
This is not about stopping the noise. Only a thought within the noise would think of stopping the noise.
Look into the deep well of silence that is always and already here, both within the body and mind and without. This silence can never leave you because it is, at the most fundamental level, what you are. In this looking, the noise is seen to arise from and fall back into this silence.
When this silence is realized, you finally know exactly what you are - but you know that words can never truly express it. Nonetheless, words continue to arise from it. This is when there is no desire to stop the noise. There is a seeing that the noise is a perfect expression of silence.

Chapter 4
Fact: Consciousness is the Infinite Itself
(Continuation...)
There is nothing about Awareness that is finite. Awareness is infinite.
In-finite simply means not finite. The prefix in-means not, or no.
That means Awareness Itself has no finite limits, no measurement.
Now try another test. See if the finite form of this book, the body, or any other thing ever can leave that thing-and instead become true of the Awareness aware here, now. In other words, could the rectangular form of this book ever leave the book and become true of Awareness-so the book has no form and Awareness becomes rectangular? Impossible.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
From PART V: 3. Why is it necessary to continue our breathing practice after Session 10?(Continuation...) Everything about The Presence Process is causal. This means nothing finishes when we complete Session 10. A great way to relate to our experience of this Process is to look at it through the eyes of a gardener. Our journey into and through this Process is about weeding the unkempt garden of our life experiences, about preparing new beds for planting, and cultivating the seedlings we choose to grow for ourselves. We feel wonderfully satisfied after achieving completion of the experiential part of the procedure. This is because we took good care to weed, prepare, and cultivate our garden. Yet the best is to come; the fruits and flowers of our labour are still to be revealed. To realize the potential and extent of this harvest requires consistent devotion to weeding, watering, and attending to the seedlings as they pear above the soil. As our plants grow into maturity there are the tasks of pruning, raking, and fertilizing. This is to be attended to before we arrive at the experience of picking the flowers and eating the harvest of juicy fruit. |

The Choice Of Freedom

[Our experience is not a series of events. It is one ever-present event, one ever-present non-event. Consciousness. Being. Reality. Immoveable, unchanging, homogeneous.] What is there to cause what, if Consciousness is all there is?

Keep the Mind Silent And You Shall Discover

Q: If words have no reality in them why talk at all?
M: They serve their limited purpose of inter-personal communication. Words do not convey facts, they signal them. Once you are beyond the person, you need no words.
