The Samadhi State

This is a state of being, in consciousness, is similar to your most natural state of existence when you were born, which means it’s a refection on your Eternal state of being. This state of being can be considered the waiting room before Self-realization. Your ability to spend some time here will be determined by your dedication, mind control, and surrendering powers. Mind strength is your ability to keep the mind in silent, surrendering the world and all your predispositions as a human is a huge part of staying there. To arrive in the Samadhi State takes a high level of surrendering, sincere earnestness, and a lot of practice, and the “Witnessing state” with eyes closed is difficult, but a necessary stage.

The characteristics of the Samadhi State are beyond meditation techniques, because most techniques are designed to get you to the witness state however taking the next step in is done by abandoning any techniques and internal links of the mind and body, all the thinking or doing is gone. In a transition zone your perceiving (Witnessing) nothing but consciousness, life force, or internal energy. This zone is more or less another waiting area, or stage before you slip into Samadhi, which is the merging or union of the perceiver and the perceived. Altogether, I see four levels or stages of spiritual progression: The Doer state, the Witness state (Active and Inactive), the Samadhi state, and the Eternal state.

Surrendering all concepts that are related to appearances and ideas of a separate God are part of the transitioning into this divine state. Letting go is releasing your grip, looking away from all personal and conditioned responses of the mind for one thoughtless and primordial state of being in consciousness. When sitting and waiting in the transition zone of formless meditating and witnessing the life force energy it produces an unnoticeable, feelingless merge between the states, before you know it you’re in Samadhi. When consciousness falls in sync with Awareness they sit as one in the Samadhi state, without movement or reason. This thoughtless state of being is characterized as a lost of perceiving of anything external or internal, nothing outside or inside of you is perceivable nor preventing you from just being like this. The Samadhi state is the supreme state of surrendering, and your ability to stay like this for extended periods, determines your ability for enlightenment, surrender and go with it, release the limited identity for the Eternal One. Eventually your fortitude and determination at acquiring this state of being when meditating will release you from your imaginary bondage, once liberated from the universe, death and afterlife, contentment in life will reign supreme.

This Samadhi state, which is the closest representation of your Eternal state of being while embodied will be last step you can take before Self-realization, the ultimate step will be beyond all. It’s almost like you’re spreading consciousness thinly until a tear in the fabric exposes the Eternal realm, our real Home.

Consciousness vs. Awareness

In a lot of spiritual books consciousness is divided into groups: The universal or super-consciousness, and regular consciousness. This idea of a change in consciousness happened when those experiencing the Source speak out, local consciousness is subject to changes, we have an unconscious state but super-consciousness doesn’t change. It’s eternal and Godly, so I call it Awareness.

I classify Awareness as God, Eternity, Soul, Absolute Space and Self, our Eternal identity. While local consciousnesses relationship to energy is in need of form to work with matter. Awareness of Being doesn’t have any byproducts of energy that forms need to exist. Consciousness is the child of Awareness, activated for a tour of duty, is a blessing in disguise.

Awareness’s first point of contact in the universe is in consciousness. Consciousness is a moving form of Awareness prone to external forces creating different states of existence however Awareness is always consistent without any opposing particles rendering it timeless.
The watcher is perceiving the flow of images through consciousness until it becomes Aware. Awareness can’t see the universe or even understand duality until birth. We need a linkup to another dimension to experience the universe of movement.

Spiritual experiences in consciousness are all over the charts, but the ultimate experience of Self-realization is the same for one and all, it happens in Awareness only, no moving visuals, no sounds, no forms, no color, no movement. Birth turns on the display of sensory enjoyment with the love affair with energy and the flow of opposites. Lost in the thrill of consciousness our Eternal identity is glossed over by this temporary heightened sense of existence, which is outside the norm.

Consciousness is a product of the universe, and consequently must stay in the universe after death here and in the afterlife. Awareness is in its own dimension of pure Space unaffected by the unfolding drama of its new attached organism. Awareness is the most subtle form of consciousness, comprised of Stillness the common denominator in all things, the foundation behind all movement. It seems like Awareness radiated consciousness causing a spreading wave or “Akasha field” of energy seeping out creating the universal expansion we see today. And, even though this subtle movement eventually turned into the universe, it is still a reflection of Awareness and not the real You.

You are the still Source that supports the universe, all that appears in the universe is linked to that solid background, it’s an imperfect link or an imperfect reflection of You. You are perfect at the core and a crucial piece in the puzzle of life and Eternity. Just by existing in your true identity is the best you can do, because by not identifying with this mass of vapors parading around as reality you turn into a beacon of truth for Awareness. Once your Soul gets a sobering look at Reality it washes away all the false notions.

Peaceful Pauses

Everyday in our normal working lives we are faced with many opportunities to work on spiritual development, but we usually waste it on unproductive mind chatter and phone stuff. Why not put this time to good use, it really doesn’t matter how little the time is, because in establishing a new mental pattern it all begins with these wasted moments. Why let the mind control you and take you to places that don’t have any meaning or places you don’t want to go, eventually adding weight to your back. When we take a close look at our internal dialogue, beyond our duties and normal reactions, most of it is completely useless, this technique is designed for that and can cultivate stability and mind control just by checking in. You can work on these moments to advance yourself spiritually, strengthen your mind and concentration.

No matter how busy our day is we experience down time and gaps in-between places which can become mentally and spiritually productive. So many times we are caught between appointments and destinations, and it seems like a big part of life is wasting time, most of the time we fill it up with mental gossip, desires, fears, and worries. Why do we let bad thought and behavior take control with meaningless banter when we can infuse deeper spiritual insights to start imposing productive thoughts that help in mind control.

Practice these pauses can also be done with the eyes open, whether in front of the computer, TV, reading, or any number of ways. I was able to find many ways throughout the day with no need for posture. When it’s down time why not do it? Why entertain all this childish mind stuff that just provides more issues. Under the radar you can meditate any time any place. You can check into the body energies for short pauses throughout the hectic day, give you a sense of peace during trying moments.

Conquering negative thoughts by superimposing a spiritual dialogue or personal positive experience is a technique that works but harder than the pauses. Any form of real mind control boils down to energy. Practicing meditation is the keystone to this technique because it lowers the volume during your check in pauses.

When an unwanted thought rises it triggers distinct energy pattern that can even start before the thought which you can feel. It’s your trigger mechanism to act. That ugly energy of a bad thought is perceivable. You have to be able to feel the change inside and turn away before it triggers chaotic energy that takes more time to relax and move from. It can be mastered when you catch it early, it makes it easy to turn away from it. The strong chaotic energy can even be heard and felt in a humming vibration during a quiet meditation. The goal is to place your attention in the middle of the chaotic energy and sit there observing it to calm it down. Just observing without thinking the energy has no direction and dissipates. Catch it quickly it can be extinguished quickly.

The technique in the beginning is withdrawing your attention away from the thought by focusing your attention on inside the energies, like your sitting your concentration in the middle of the flow and just witnessing the energy, it will consequently spread out and dissipate. By the mere act of observing energy means you are the thoughtless observer then the energy looses its directional and flounders. This type of catch and release means everything to your peace and happiness. Also the benefits are extremely important in the Afterlife.
