Meditate on Consciousness

The philosophical research concerning the divine poses the question: Is there a meaning / sense / purpose to voicing / writing / reading as us finite beings talk about god and Infinity? Is a human being really able to discuss The Tao of Logos? Knowing God is a mystical experience, first and foremost a subconscious one. Pythagoras researches numbers as symbols as frequency of Cosmos, its creation and Life. The Tetractys that symbolizes the four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. Tetractys κτισις = creation = sounding as ThISiS The first four numbers for Pythagoras symbolize the musica universalis and the Cosmos. According to the mystical Christians, God’s transcendence or its divinity is essentially experienced as the pair of opposites: grace and judgment, being and non-being, time and eternity. Regular meditation is a way to clear your mind from clutter of thoughts, a way to train concentration and to focus on specific themes. It is a way to Quiet Mind.[1]

Steps

  1. Sit Comfortably with Your Back Straight. You can sit in a lotus, half-lotus, or on a chair, with the back straight, not touching the wall, with palms on your lap, eyes closed, tip of the tongue touching the top of the mouth, with lips slightly opened.
    • In Platonism, Neo-Platonism, Pythagoras, and with the Philosophers of Ancient Greece, the subconscious material or mind chitta has its own "body".
  2. Relax. Our Mind is constantly active. Seeking stillness within the Mind that is in motion is impossible if you do not use the motion itself. The art of meditation is the art of stillness.[2] Prepare the space, light candles, burn incenses and sit still, without any motion, relax to enter the world of visualization and concentration.
  3. Awareness. In the words of Carl G. Jung "so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight."
  4. Moving from Micro to Macro. In reality, the detachment of a soul that identifies with the body and transcends the levels of consciousness starts with the focused breath. It follows the symbol, or the sound towards pure consciousness, allowing the mind to keep ‘busy’ with the symbol of light, or consciousness while transcending into light, love, peace.
  5. Expand. Soul consciousness is the state we experience when we meditate, when our awareness shifts from body to Universe. Ancient Greeks Philosophers used the symbolism of numbers [3] to narrate this story: The first four numbers symbolized the musica universalis and the Cosmos: 1 = Unity or Monad, zero dimension (a point), supreme God that has not materialised as yet, 2 = Dyad, one dimension (a line of two points), 3 = Triad, two dimensions, a plane defined by a triangle, 4 = Kosmos (Tetrad), a tetrahedron defined by four points. The four rows add up to ten, which was unity of a higher order or the Dekad. The Tetractys symbolizes the four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The divine number, the holy holy Tetractys, we find as a symbol expressing god / divine. The number or a symbol: +, 10, used in Ancient Greece, in Ancient China, and within the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, with its ten spheres.
  6. Quiet Mind and Meditation. After about 30min of relaxation, concentration, visualization, expansion, enter stillness, enter meditation. The meditation has no thoughts, no feelings, no images. Entering meditation, you enter the pure consciousness and bliss.
  7. Sat Chit Ananda (i.e. Satchitananda). Existence, Consciousness, Bliss. The mediator or the yogi becomes one with Pure Consciousness. The individual becomes Purusha (Divine), the Soul is within its True Nature, the yogi enters Samadhi.

Warnings

  • Carl G. Jung warns us: "Man is the microcosm of the macrocosm; the God on earth is built on the pattern of the God in nature. But the universal consciousness of the real Ego transcends a million fold the self-consciousness of the personal for false ego."
  • Carl Jung gives us another warning: "There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
  • Carl Jung "An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future."
