Focus on Life™

Our greatest excuse is time. Either we do not have enough of
it or we have too much of it. Still, we can only live now, for-
ever. Future is only an illusion we project based on our experi-
ences and understanding. Past is a regenerated memory and
experience collection we re-produce according to our current
understanding and point of view. All this can only happen
right now. And still they are all only pure image forms—
nothing else.

We continuously fool ourselves. We play this game by say-
ing to ourselves that we will do this or that and gain or
progress in a specific manner in the future. But all this is done
in a way that implicitly says we are currently lacking some-
thing and will do the hard part later. Time is our excuse: “I
need time to develop/study and so on.” This would be fine if
we really would deliver on what we promised. Unfortunately,
we often change our mind along the process. It is more
important (i.e., easier) to be in the constant mode of changing
than actually achieving or being.

We escape the current moment almost all the time. We are
not happy about how we are at the moment and, therefore, we
like to comfort ourselves by saying that this is not the real me
but wait an X amount of time, and I will be this. This game is
endless. Either we crave the past or envision an imaginary
dream world of the future.

When do we have time to actually be? Being requires that
we also see and hear in the moment. It requires unbiased,
objective observation and facing reality as it is, right now. No
bias toward the past or the future—only the bare truth. Have
you ever realized who you really are or appear to be?

What’s reality like from eternity’s point of view?

Who talks by silence, does the most.

How can we see something we know nothing about?

Meditation is preparation for the continuous steady state of
enlightenment, a process where one is adjusting to shift the
consciousness onto a higher level. Doing this requires con-
centration and undivided attention. Still, we cannot progress
by physical “force” or pure power of will. We have to reach a
higher (or finer) state where we are capable of oscillating the
energy state that enables the free energy flow without any
resistance or interference (i.e., lower consciousness or ego).

We have to become the flow itself in order to oscillate it.
Opening the higher frequencies requires everything the prac-
titioner has, but still it is not a process of becoming. It cannot
be achieved, it can only be realized. In other words, we have
to reach the state where the energy flow is self-sustaining and
harmonious. By will power alone we cannot sustain it. Also
premature stimulation of the energy centers is pointless, if not
counterproductive.

At the urge of enlightenment we have to work hard to find
the right final tone missing. We have to reach for it and be
capable of sustaining it in order to open up the final barrier or
resonator. The consciousness shifts smoothly and under con-
trol to its natural state (or a physical place where we are able
to sense it) where it is out of the way (or in harmony) with the
energy flow.

The process is incremental and can take days. The practi-
tioner gets to know the new states and understands their
operations. This makes it easier and more familiar along the
way. The understanding and comprehension accumulates as
well. It is a very natural and harmonious but nevertheless
demanding process.

Some tips for a serious practitioner advanced in the journey:

• You are not expected to do anything, only realize.
• You cannot force it; it happens when you are totally
  relaxed and in harmony.
• You must free your body of tension and the urge to
  achieve.
• You should understand this is a quest of consciousness,
  not of the body or will power.
• You must realize that until you are love and loving
  kindness in harmony, you are not there.
• You must follow your instincts and be persistent.
• You should understand it is not a competition or about
  achievement.
• You should not exhaust yourself; nevertheless, the
  process is demanding.
• You should be gentle and forgiving; unconditional love
  is all it takes.
• You know, you can, so you are.

Advice for beginners:

• You need firm concentration; once this is sustained, the
  practitioner is capable of maintaining that concentra-
  tion even while physically doing something.
• You should understand that meditation only helps you;
  it is a technique—nothing more.
• You can never be too humble, kind, and loving—these
  are the real exercise.
• You can progress only through continuous and relent-
  less effort.
• You have to be the harmony and love at all times—so
  you do not need any particular place or situation to
  practice it.
• You should realize that frequent meditation sessions are
  most important, but the real test is your everyday life.
• You need to understand that enlightenment should not
  be your goal—if it is, consider your motives once again.
