Overcoming Obstacles to Meditation

​

 

 

 

 

(1) Suffering is a psychological condition caused by not being present in natural phenomena of one's own nature. And thus because of this shortfall in awareness, our self-knowledge is then stolen by many illusions and unnatural fantasy. 

​

(2) Fantasy is a thought-stream that follows impressions not based on Reality or Truth. Overtime these thought-waves crystalize themselves and become obstacle to our path of meditation.

​

(3) Learning to maintain attention is a genuine skill of learning how to direct the flow of energy within us. When we meditate we essentially train our mind to look at ''things'' through the inner eye of compassion and love, because God is Love.

​

(4) Gnosis is a form of knowledge rooted in every person's superior Being. Everything we learn and understand from Gnostic teachings, is actually a quality of our Being revealed through the consciousness. When we are in meditation we do not adopt anything new, we are merely looking at who we really are without the disturbance of thoughts and feelings.

​

(5) Our inner God speaks to us through our thoughts -- hence Master Samael states that God is a Army of the Voice. If our thoughts are perpetually impure, impatient, anxious, doubtful, angry, etc., then the Voice of God will be inverted by those impure thoughts. ''Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.'' - Philippians 4 verse 8

​

(6) Whenever we practice meditation we must always renounce all the psychological values of our ego such as: ''like; dislike'' - ''accepting; rejecting'' - ''past; future'' - ''pleasure; pain'' - ''fame; shame''. In any case, in meditation there is no right and wrong. There is only what is, that is Being.

​

(7) This is how one should always practice the concept of holding without grasping. When we hold things without changing them, this is a sign of true liberation. We achieve the transcendental knowledge of our spiritual nature; we see that everything is already enlightened in itself. 

​

(8) Therefore, when we meditate one must not formulate spiritual realizations based on external or internal experiences. We all believe in a God that we want to become. Some want to become ''a god-like'' Krishna, others want to become a ''god-like'' Buddha, others want to become ''a god-like'' Jesus, while others want to become ''a god-like'' Mohammed.

​

(9) In meditation we do not need to do anything, but simply let go of the ''things'' we thought we had to do in order to meditate. It is more about letting go, than adopting new spiritual ideas, spiritual concepts, spiritual methods, spiritual beliefs, spiritual theories

​

(10) Our concept of God is what's getting in the way to Reality of Divinity. We must get your ''butt'' out of the way! Reality is something beyond our concepts and beliefs.

Become like the cow that jumped over the moon.

These teachings given to us by our Innermost are for the liberation of the human soul [Motho, Essence]. 

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood or psychologically digested by any logic or  reason of  ego, mind, and personality.

Logic and reason are equal to psychological hypnosis.

Inside every living thing there is something called "The Being". 

In modern Christian mythology "The Being" is referred to as "The Father". 

"The Father" is the seminal point of every Creation and the very mystery of regeneration. 

"The Father" inside every living thing is truly "The Being", which, for all lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the secret of Gnosis.

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve the very mind we use to study the esoteric nature of the work. 

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath, we become skillful in comprehending the emptiness of mind itself - - and thus, we are able to dissolve every form in which mind and sensation appears to us as the  Essence of Modimo (Unkulunkulu).

"Gnosis is the esoteric language of our Being! It is a foundation for the clear perception of Reality that a finger cannot point to, or mouth transfer to anyone without the instrument of meditation. A true gnostic is someone who has mastered the art of meditation for himself. A true gnostic is someone who knows how to live with a mind (manas) without habits."

(Only in a mind (manas) without habits can Truth be known from moment-to-moment.)

These teachings given to us by testimony of Modimo (our individual Innermost) are for the esoteric benefit and liberation of the Human Soul [Motho,  Umuntu, the Essence]. 

​

Thus, these teachings cannot be understood with intellectual reason, nor can they be digested by logic of our subjective ego, mind, and personality. 

​

Logic and intellectual reasoning are tantamount to psychological hypnosis for the soul.

Everything comes from the Creator, every atom of the cosmos is synthesized inside the bosom of the Creator - - and in modern Christian mythology the Creator Being is referred to as "The Father". 

​

"The Father" is a seminal point from which all created things permeate, He is the very mystery of regeneration. 

​

"The Father", inside every living thing, is truly our inward dweller; which, for all our lifetimes is always in secret - - and is the authentic internal goal of Gnosis itself.

The purpose of our spiritual work is to dissolve karmic imbalances caused by our basic mind from moment-to-moment. We want to know how to perceive reality beyond duality and relativity.  

​

By learning to observe the  emptiness of breath for example, we become skillful in comprehending "Emptiness of Form" - - and thus, in the same skillful manner, are able to dissolve the grasping mind in us.

 

In that way, our Interior mind is fully liberated from every "Form of Emptiness" upon which sensations appear to be real in the intermediate state.
