Don't panic, you don't have to have experienced a deep meditation
to know what I am going to explain about here, all you need to know is that
deep meditation gives us a sneak preview of our truer self, our natural self. Basically, deep mediation is an expression of our normal state of being,
within this state, we are a true expression of ourselves.
We might think within this state there is no thinking
process therefore there is no awareness, this isn't the case and in actuality
we become more aware through quite a different process than what is created by
the mind. This also includes our minds after our demise, as of anything created
and perceived by the mind, it has boundaries brought about by preconceived
perceptions and it's these boundaries that obscure us becoming fully aware. You
don't need the mind to become aware, that is but another preconceived
perception we have.
Awareness and wisdom have always existed, what hasn't always
existed is the expressions of preconceptions which give us a distorted awareness
of what is and isn't. I'm going to state that our whole 3rd dimensional
existence was created from preconceptions, to me this is obvious, the reason
this is so obvious to me is that we have always expressed preconceptions, in
fact, we are what we express......
Now this next part is probably going to sound a little loony
to a number of people, well, we already know I'm a little loony anyway don't we!!
Last night I was sitting in my outdoor lounge chair looking
up at the stars, as I often do when it's not too cold or rainy, all of as sudden
I found myself within the stars, the strange part was these stars felt like my friends.
The stars themselves became conscious of my existence as well as their own and
each others existence, they basically became alive in a very real sense. Our
own preconceived perception tell us that no other form that is obviously not
living and breathing, like ourselves, can be deemed as alive and conscious of
other forms, to do this for starters takes a mind of some kind to do!! As soon
as we express preconceived perceptions as this, we create boundaries which hinder
us becoming aware of anything beyond these preconceived perceptions.
Deep meditation takes us away from any kind of
preconception, the reason for this is simple, the mind itself becomes second to
wisdom and awareness, the physical mind however will still react to such wisdom
and awareness but it no longer controls how aware we will become. The mind in
other words will not control the experiences we will experience from this wisdom and awareness as it's totally void of any boundaries. Basically,
when we talk about the mind, any mind, we are talking about boundaries that
continually give us preconceived perceptions. Deep meditation goes way beyond these
boundaries, this is why it gives us a sneak preview of our truer selves.
What I find interesting is the mind is determined by time,
the physical mind to start with was created by time, even the non-physical mind
is determined by time for their is always a perception of a starting and ending
point. Once a consciousness perceives a starting and ending point, it' creates
preconceptions through the perception of time, to me this is what basically
creates minds. Once a consciousness expresses time in any sense, it creates a
mind in the process which automatically gives a preconceived perception of individuality.
Once this is done, realities based on duality are created.
This is why deep meditation takes us into quite a different
reality, there is no reality of time because time itself really doesn't exist
within this kind of reality, this however doesn't mean time doesn't exist, it just
means time doesn't exist within a state of pure wisdom and awareness. The
reason for this is simple, there is no separation,
no duality, everything becomes one. This oneness to me is pure wisdom and awareness,
nothing more or less.
So time, therefore mind and realities created by time, don't'
actually exist because this pure wisdom and awareness is who we truly are, so
what is everything else?
It's not an illusion unless we think this is all we are, in
this case however it becomes a delusion rather than an illusion, our minds have
deluded ourselves to think this is all we are, within this perception, we have
created a preconception once we perceive time and the mind is of an illusion. Of
course any reality created by time and the mind is also an illusion as these expressions
don't represent our truer selves. It's so easy to think everything else but the
expression of our truer self is an illusion, this within itself is a preconceived
perception that time doesn't exist and neither does the mind.
Once we find ourselves one with everything within this pure wisdom
and awareness, time, therefore the mind,
no longer exist as a separate part, we then get a preconceived perception they don't
exist therefore are an illusion. Basically what I am saying is this oneness
state also gives us a preconceived perception of an illusion, this is wholly
due to the human mind perceiving what it experienced while in a oneness state.
In actuality, all of what is perceived exists in some way, it's just that anything
determined by time usually doesn't represent our whole truer self.
Experiencing oneness states are very tricky, so often through
our minds perceptions can such experiences become a preconception......!!
