A way for moving out of the sensory temporal (temporary) world is well-known. A first step is mindfulness, being here now in this moment. One is mindful while sitting and while on the move. Both practices are essential for developing capaciousness.
In sitting mindfully, one can meditate on something. This is eventually let go and one simply sits and opens.
One moves into contemplation (con-templum-ation), the templum being the clear open space required for divine seeing by our augur ancestors. It is in this open space that one hears, sees, merges with the world that exists beyond the temporal. One is developing, exercising one's subtle body. This is the body one truly is, the body that goes on after one's dense matter falls away.
In christian language, it is called laying up your treasures in heaven. In buddhist language, it is called opening to your buddha body. In taoist language, it is called waving with the ocean. In bhagavad gita language, it is called getting up off the chariot floor. In hebrew language, it is called meeting and merging with the shekinah. In persian language, it is called opening to the xvarnah, the light of glory. In zoroastrian language, it is called meeting the logos angel. In alchemical language, it is called coniunctio. In zen language, it is called but not called.
Attention directs energy. Whatever we attend to, we become.

Whew! Amazing lesson, George!
ReplyDeleteI dont' know how you do it, but sometimes your words engage a part of me that knows exactly what you are saying. I don't think about it -- It just happens for me. Suddenly opening is not a concept -- It is happening.
What a tremendouss gift you have!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. Time now for me to attend.
Gracious George for your guidance of the con-templum-ation. I've not heard this elucidated so clearly
ReplyDeleteYes! Without opening such a space of being there is no room for wisdom or bliss. ~ Stan
