How méditation changed my life
If you have a golf ball sized consciousness when you read a book, you’ll have a golf ball sized understanding when you look out a golf ball sized awareness, and when you wake up in the morning a golf ball sized wakefulness, but if you could expand that consciousness then you read the book, more understanding, you look out more awareness and when you wake up more wakefulness its Consciousness, and there’s an ocean of pure vibrant Consciousness inside each one of us, and it’s right at the source and base of mind right at the source of thought and it’s also at the source of all matter.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi teaches a technique called Transcendental Meditation, It’s a simple easy effortless technique yet supremely profound that allows any human being to dive Within in experiencing subtler levels of mind and intellect and transcend and experience this ocean of pure consciousness.
This pure Consciousness is called by modern physics the unified field. It’s at the base of all mind and all matter, and they now say modern science is all of matter everything that is a thing emerges from this field, and this field has qualities like bliss intelligence creativity, Universal love, energy and Peace, it’s not the intellectual understanding of this field, but the experiencing of it that does everything, you die within and transcending experiencing this field of pure consciousness and you enliven it, you unfold it it grows and the final outcome of this growth of consciousness is called enlightenment and enlightenment is the full potential of all of us human beings.
And a side effect of enlivening this Consciousness is negativity starts to recede, when I started meditating. I was filled with anxieties filled with fears kind of a depression and anger.
I took this anger out on my girlfriend, and after two weeks of meditation she comes to me and she says what’s going on and I finally said what do you mean ?and she said this anger where did it go? And I didn’t even realize it it lifted, these negative things like anger and depression and sorrow there beautiful things in a story, but they’re like a poison to the filmmaker a poison to the painter a poison to creativity there like a vice grip, if you were super depressed, you can’t hardly get out of bed let alone think ideas have that creativity flowing so it’s money in the bank to get that beautiful Consciousness growing which is Flowing creativity the ability to catch ideas at a deeper level, intuition grows, this field is a field of pure knowingness you dive in there you sort of just know how to go, you know how to solve Solutions, It’s like an ocean of solutions and you can just feel this thing growing.
The ultimate thing for me is the enjoyment of the doingc then the enjoyment of life grows huge, I love making films now more than ever before ideas flow more everybody has more fun on the set, creativity flows, people look like friends and not like enemies, It’s a beautiful thing and it’s us.
In Vedic science this field of pure Consciousness is called Atma the self of this all, at that level as dr. John hagelin would tell you at that level of life we are all one where one, diversity up here, unity down below.
