Focus on Life™

Life is eternal harmonious breathing, in and out. Like in
breathing, there are three stages to life: in(halation), balance
(pauses),and out (exhalation).

Life is oscillation in various energy states. Higher ones
contain more intelligence and possibilities than lower ones.
Life is an eternal joy of transformation of oscillation levels.
These previously mentioned three stages include the harmony
within: simply add negative and positive together and these
two create a balance, a harmony that can be merged to the
oneness or divided once again into three components (1+2).
The illusion of isolation and disharmony can be created by
observing only from the point of view of either side of the
duality. No matter how much relative imbalance either of the
sides seems to have, the other counterbalances equal an
amount in the opposite direction: the complete duality set is
always in balance. These are the unbreakable, eternal, conser-
vation laws of physics.

From a four-dimensional point of view, we can describe real-
ity as an endless, interlinked, and multilayered oscillating vortex.
Larger structures include the smaller ones within and the scal-
ing (observation level) is only limited by the observer (which
naturally is part of the observation and not outside of it).

What does all this have to do with meditation? We all have
our own natural oscillation levels. Meditation is a practice
where we try to extend the consciousness or, in other words,
increase the oscillation frequency into a permanently higher
state. Our personality is the resonator or filter that prevents
the energy states going higher permanently. Naturally this is
good in a case where one is not tolerant of a high amount of
energy and hence could be damaged/destroyed by too much
of it. So, meditation is about loosening our seals (or energy
filters/dams) and getting ourselves used to higher oscillation
frequencies.

Why is meditation so difficult? Imagine that every atom
and molecule of your body is oscillating in a certain low fre-
quency. Atoms are moving slowly and it takes a lot of energy
to get them excited. While meditating you increase the
energy flow within your body and try to make yourself vibrate
faster. In the beginning, this is very exhausting and requires a
lot of energy—like getting a ship/truck moving from a stand-
still. It takes less energy to increase the velocity while the
movement is already taking place. Similarly, continuous prac-
tice of meditation makes reaching the previous oscillation
level easier.

Even though the example deals with a “physical” situation,
meditation is purely a mental practice. The practitioner needs
to focus and align the internal energy flows and use this con-
centration for expanding the consciousness. The fewer the
distractions (thoughts and the like),the more united and effi-
cient the results. Finally, the practitioner is capable of realiz-
ing the balance state between/beyond duality and just simply
be—become enlightened.

Reaching the harmonious state means that we have per-
manently (relative term) reached the higher oscillation fre-
quency within the larger context out of which we are a part.
The balance state simply means that the practitioner oscil-
lates the frequency of the larger unity without any of his or
her own counterwaves or disturbing energies. In other words,
the practitioner unites or becomes a drop in the ocean.
Naturally, this larger part is increasing its oscillation level as
well, but in this context the larger part needs the support of
the smaller units to reach its next level. As long as the smaller
parts (or critical mass of them) have not increased their indi-
vidual frequency levels, the larger part cannot increase its
incremental level either. For example, think about either the
cells within your body or humans in the context of a planet.

Everything is in oscillation. Each and every atom is in its
perpetual motion and atoms are never stable and steady, even
though our mind persuades otherwise. Each molecule struc-
ture or form (larger or smaller) has its own vibration frequency.
Remember what an opera singer can do to a wine glass or a
synchronously marching division to a bridge? This is exactly
what meditation is about. Finding the right tune or note,
which you become permanently. Cleansing your thoughts and
controlling your emotions are important for the same reason—
they are vibrating energy as well. Lower oscillation levels pre-
vent you from progressing. Higher frequencies can be created
only by giving them space from the lower ones. And as a
reminder, our bodies are 70 percent water, which stores,
receives, and transmits vibrations very easily. Conservation and
maintaining are always easier than progression.

Just food for thought: What are colors, music, and talk?

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.

As long as there is something that changes, the quest is not
over. Anything that is not permanent and independent is still
becoming; it depends on its external circumstances and,
therefore, more or less reacts to these.

A constant state is independent of any outside events or
situations as well as any temporal fluctuations such as day or
night. How stable is your consciousness?

Always concentrate on your state of being-ness, never on the
mode of being.

Don’t try, genuinely be.

Understand you can never be too humble.

Appreciate and be grateful for everything and every single
occasion and situation you’re facing and living through.

Be patient. Always.

Forgive and be kind to yourself. You can never be too graceful.

Never monitor your progress or try to achieve something—
they lead to becoming.

Always acknowledge and be aware of your consciousness. As
long as there is something that sees, hears, thinks, feels, or
senses, there is still something to learn—the quest is not over.

Do not fixate on anything. There are no excuses. Always be
ready to sacrifice everything you have, are, or believe in.
Humbleness and honesty with yourself helps.

Always verify your actions and thoughts by your ethical and
moral standards. Be honest and watch for half-truths and
excuses. Sloppiness is never acceptable.

Only the truth survives.

Our life is hectic. Even more, our mind is restlessly moving.
Our inner state is often noticeable for outsiders as well. When
we are nervous or have difficulty being calm, this is reflected
in our behavior. We move around, change position, look
around, do our typical gestures, or otherwise keep in motion.
All of these are just reflections of our inner perpetual mover—
our mind. In other words, we have a very short concentration
span. Therefore, thinking is also very difficult. It requires us to
focus on one particular aspect and keep our mind fixed on the
item we are processing.

Concentration can be taught. We can train our mind to
become more controllable and under our will. Better concen-
tration enables us to perform our daily life better, thus helping
us to learn better and faster. We can observe, analyze, and per-
ceive more clearly. Being able to focus on one thing at a time
means that our effort can be directed to the very item we are
dealing with and all our capacity is dedicated to the task at
hand. Reading a book or listening to a lecture is easier if we
are not distracted by other thoughts or surrounding stimuli. A
distracted mind can be compared to a light bulb. It radiates in
all directions and, therefore, loses its illuminative power,
thanks to a lack of focus. A concentrated mind is like a laser
beam; it is very precise and powerful.

Clear and precise thoughts require a concentrated mind.
Good speech or articulation is based on focused effort and
well-prepared concepts. Concentration helps us communicate
and be better understood. But how do we accomplish it?
We need practice. And even more patience. One cannot
become masters overnight. Our mind requires continuous
exercise and training. This can be done at various levels, but
the good thing is that almost no matter what we do we can
turn it into a concentration practice. An easy start is to stop
doing many things at once. Turn off the radio if you’re writing
or checking your e-mail. Or listen to the radio, but don’t do
anything else—perform only one task at a time.

Training our memory is as important as improving our
concentration. Our mind and concentration are interlinked.
Stop making shopping lists and use your memory instead.
Also, when you catch your mind wandering from the topic
you’re thinking about, try to trace back your route to discover
how you got distracted. Acknowledge at every moment what
you’re doing. If you are walking or driving, concentrate on
doing this task. Gradually, you will become better and more
concentrated without an effort. By fragmenting our concen-
tration, we do many things poorly. Top artists and athletes
need total concentration to be successful—and they practice a
lot. Why shouldn’t we?

We often get carried away or overwhelmed by our emotions.
We call this a state of being emotional or sometimes even
irrational. In practice, we mean that we were in a condition
where we were vulnerable to act in a way in which we might
not normally act (i.e., we regret our behavior later on). In
other words, we are stating that we lost control of ourselves;
we were not “we” in the ordinary sense.

Detachment is a state of being where one observes every-
thing from a distance. This means that one is not getting car-
ried away or being emotionally more or less out of control
(i.e., getting angry and so on). Detachment does not mean
that we are passive or not involved in the moment—totally
the opposite. It means that we are capable of being observant
and active in every moment and, therefore, a more precise
perception and behavior in life is possible.

Detachment is not dependent on the situation. It does not
matter whether we are experiencing joyful and happy
moments or sad and unpleasant surprises. Keeping a small
distance from all matters enables us to have broader under-
standing of the issues and circumstances. Our personal ego
and interests cannot block our way. Actually one learns to
identify those, and in time gets rid of any personal selfish
motives. No more big mood swings to the negative or posi-
tive—we can purely experience life as it comes without our
expectations getting in our way. A fresh way of living.
