About The Logistics: The Mechanics: The Simplicity: Avoiding Complications:
Page by page instruction on how to individually self-implement the practice of Correct Meditation, along with its introduction, has yet to be posted on this Web Site @ www.alfsbootcampblog.com. It will be posted in the Boot Camp section, not on the About page. Primarily, the About page is directed at the highly educated in society and particularly the disciplines of Science & Academia. That is not to say that others with lesser education, will not understand the content on the About page. But many others in society may struggle with its content, they should not have to struggle with the revised content on the boot camp pages.
Personal one-on-one instruction of Transcendent Meditation, is the correct way to learn the technique of its simple practice. But, it is possible with written clear instructions to self-implement its technique…and very necessary, for those having to wait years to receive personal instruction. For those in this category, very close attention to its written instruction is most important. So careful reading of that simple instruction, is very necessary to avoid making-it-up as you go along. Sooner or later, the means will arise in your town, to receive personal one on one correct instruction on its technique. Be patient and considerate of the enormous logistics involved, to reach everyone in society with its one-on-one instruction.
Note: Obviously we are talking in years for everyone in a Nation to receive personal instruction on its technique. So it is very necessary logistically, that the one-on-one teaching of meditation, starts in the Higher Education system & Government and eventually works its way through society. This is the practical way, the fastest way and the order out of chaos way, to implement Correct Meditation in a Nation.
It is also very necessary for anyone practicing Transcendent Meditation, to understand that acquiring silence in the mind, is the whole objective of sitting down for two twenty minute sessions a day. So it is important to create the habit to remind our self, to directly aim for that stillness in the mind when commencing its practice. Otherwise the mind will continue with its old habit of constantly thinking about things and over-ride the principle objective. It takes time and practice for the mind to adjust itself to new habits, so fighting this old habit with your thoughts every time you sit down to meditate…is a no no with an extra no thrown in for remembrance.
Note: The process takes care of itself, that is why it is called a simple technique by the author and open to any adult to practice. Children are another matter where Correct Meditation is concerned, requiring expert one on one tuition owing to that fact they have not reached adulthood. Nothing mysterious about that fact, just common sense. Common sense that children lack, until the mind grows to develop the reasoning processes of the intellect in adulthood. Those reasoning processes of the mature adult, allow the adult to digest its written instruction thoroughly and apply it to the letter when self-administering its technique.
The other complication, that the conscious mind has little control over until it expands, is the all important sub-conscious driven ego. The ego and its subliminal thought process, has developed (evolved) in our human evolution, to automatically protect the created identity and conscious self of the individual…and that includes its belief system indoctrinated in childhood. To avoid the ego automatically taking over the mind with thought during the practice of meditation, learn to realize this takeover when it happens with the awareness of the mind. Understand the awareness of the mind is not thought, and it will eventually expand with the practice to become aware of that distraction. You will know this distraction when it arises, because you will have stopped intoning the mantra and replaced it with thinking about something.
Note: As soon as you realize with the awareness, that you are thinking and not reciting the mantra, gently…repeat gently, go back to intoning the mantra. You will eventually master this distracting process of the ego with time and patience. The ego and its sub-conscious thought process in the mind, will eventually acquire the habit to remain quiet when you are intoning the mantra…if you follow this advice. When that happens, you will be able to spend most of that twenty minutes out of thought…and not in and out of thought. But, it does take time and everyone is different in the time it takes, to master that distraction of the ego and its activity.
That brings us to understand, that the practice of meditation is very…repeat, very personal. The experience out of the practice is also very…repeat, very personal. As such, learn to keep it personal. Along with all experience that that arises out of its practice. In doing so, you are respecting its ancient tradition and respecting the quality of Abstract Consciousness that comes out of its regular twice daily practice. We will not consciously realize that Abstract Consciousness growing in the mind…definitely. That is why we do the practice and forget all about it afterwards and become busy.
Note: Life & Nature demands that activity of us…nothing to do with the author, he is only giving the instruction and help. So setting up chat pages on the Internet and telling all & sundry about your personal experience, is a no no with an extra no for good measure. That respect & dignity, is a powerful influence in the spiritual workings of Nature, that reaps invisible dividends down the track of life. How does the author know all this? Because he has been there and back to bring this information to you. It is your turn now…if you want it to be.
To conclude with a brief history, understanding & meaning of the word mantra; to help clear up misconceptions and satisfy the natural curiosity of the inquisitive mind. A mantra has no physical attribute, it is a abstract non-physical vibration. By that, we mean it is a vibration manifesting out of the Absolute Consciousness that sources everything in Creation. It has no conscious meaning. The science of mantra’s, is exclusive to those who have acquired the fullness of Absolute Consciousness and the fullness of Spiritual & Physical Consciousness in their life. Those human beings have been extremely rare throughout the history of mankind. When they are here, the knowledge of mantra’s is always revived and renewed in that civilization. They have now been renewed in this global civilization.
Note: To say more than this at this point in time, is not productive in or out of boot camp. We need to climb further up the ladder of spiritual evolution first as a species. The means to do that, is through the regular twice daily practice of Correct Meditation and the knowledge of mantra’s.
If the mind cannot accept this new information to the world, then it is not fair…or productive, to blame the subliminal mind or call the ego immature. As the writer has done (for a positive purpose) in a previous article. Denial, sub-consciously protects the conscious mind of the individual and the more intelligent the mind, the more convincing that instant denial is to the listener. The only way around this automatic protective mechanism of the ego, is to become conscious of that fact and try the practice of Correct Meditation. No harm can come to the individual through its practice, only the creative imagination of the mind can bring harm to this simple uncomplicated practice.
Note: That last fact, is always good to remember through all internal experience in the complex mind. Because the imagination of the creative mind and the thought process of the subliminal ego, are not required during the effortless practice of Correct Meditation. So send them on holiday when practicing its technique and your mind, will be very refreshed when they return to remind you who you are.
Summing up: The continuation of this Article will be found in in a future article called, The Technique. It will be posted when the time is right for it to be posted. That depends on how fast Universities can expedite setting up the logistics, for the establishment of a new science discipline in their busy curriculum. I can say to the Principles of those Universities, that the necessary funds will be forthcoming, if the process is enacted & forthcoming…not otherwise. You will have to trust me on that statement, a trust that can be found in the sincerity of all my words to you. It is very necessary for the harmony of society, that the inauguration of that new discipline, coincide with the release on the Internet of the article called The Technique. It will only complicate this necessary process, if the author is compelled to elaborate further on the subject…at this point in time.
Note: To release that article called The Technique on the Internet, it is not necessary for every University in a Nation, to establish a Department & Faculty for the Science of Meditation immediately, only one. It is also important to inaugurate that new Department, with a simple but dignified ceremony. Further elaboration of this polite request to the University in question, will be forthcoming if requested. Just to add that Ceremony, when conducted with dignity & appropriate words, has meaning & influence far beyond out physical senses to evaluate. Like the original knowledge of mantra’s, its subtle meaning has become lost with the passing of millenniums. We still conduct ceremony in society as part of tradition, but the real purpose of its function has long since faded into obscurity.
Postscript: This is a personal note to all the Teachers of Transcendent Meditation outside of the umbrella of its Universities. Many of whom, have gone there own way in society for many personal and economic survival reasons. We all have to earn a living to survive in this economic driven world we have created…especially if we have the responsibilities of families. But it is time to return to the official fold and update your understanding and existing teaching of its practice. You will be respecting the founder of your movement by doing so and be of great service to a Nation in the process. You are needed in other words, to enable Correct Meditation to come to fruition in this shared World of ours.
Kind regards to the reader from the author.
