When the real meditator develops the true Meditation, his life becomes meditation, and meditation becomes his life.
Who can say anything, theorize, regulate in a deep spontaneous meditation that surprises in the middle of a sunset of beautiful colours? Meditation arises alone because its jurisdiction goes beyond the mind and the knowing.
Eight actions that facilitate meditation:
De-negativization is mainly achieved by recognizing oneself as the generator of each negativity, whether own or assimilated from another person, and not accepting it, denying it, but taking all the power away.
Positivization is the action of stopping thinking, feeling, acting and decreeing negativity, and only doing it for constructive, profitable, useful matters for evolution. It’s a required action for meditation and leading a healthy life.
Posture is the way to place the physical sheath in each specific moment of existence, especially during meditation. As meditation is part of life, it could emerge in any posture. Therefore, there are countless postures, but when the meditation posture is assumed, this is done consciously.
Breathing. It’s naturally done -without any imposed outline- through the nose and consists of two actions: breath in and out. In inhalation, the air is taken; on exhalation, it is expelled.
Abstraction is to withdraw the senses of listening, sensations, seeing, tasting and breathing, and being immersed in the mix of posture, breathing, the object of concentration, meditation and contemplation.
Concentration is the act of centring the mind on a single issue, situation, person, or entity without diverting it to something else. In concentration, you establish a motive and think of nothing else but it, taking your attention away from anything else.
Meditation is concentratedly, deeply, with full attention to observing the consideration of something, such as the Inner Self, the Universal Being or “the Absolute”, an Aspect of the “Totality of Life”, a Being of Light, a mantra, a prayer or reading. Meditation investigates without authority, sayings or concepts. One perceives and discovers what is observed. Only in this way, it’s possible to stop repeating and live “what is discovered, lived and felt”.
Contemplation is samādhi, becoming the object of concentration and meditation, in which the meditator disappears and there is no ego, and in which the meditator, meditation and the meditated thing are one, without differences. Contemplation happens in abstraction, concentration and meditation, consciously abstracted into the reality of what is meditated.
Ruben Cedeño – translated by Noemi Banchi
“It’s extraordinarily important to know and understand the depth and beauty of meditation. Is there something immutable, sacred, absolutely pure, uncontaminated by any thoughts or experience? In order to discover that, to find it, meditation is essential. Not repetitive meditation. That is completely meaningless. Finding that energy that has no beginning or end is meditation’s true depth and beauty. This requires freedom from all conditioning. If there is no meditation, it’s impossible to go beyond the limits of thought, mind and brain.”
