The goal of human life, according to yogis and sages, is to unite one's individual consciousness with the Supreme Consciousness. This union of one's small ?I? with the Cosmic ?I? is also known as yoga. Anyone who has ever tried to meditate knows that achieving the final goal of yoga is not as easy as it sounds. Many people, in fact, give up the pursuit before they reach the goal. Despite this seeming difficulty there is a simple technique that can put the achievement of ultimate bliss within the reach of everyone.
Before I reveal the ?greatest secret of the universe? it is useful to understand how the process of meditation actually works. ?As you think, so you become? is the principle upon which meditation is based. If you think about something that is limited or small, then your mind becomes small.
On the other hand, if you forget about the physical world around you, turn your attention within and begin concentrated thinking on an infinite object your mind begins to expand. If you continue the process in a systematic way, regularly every day, then your individual consciousness will one day merge with the Supreme Consciousness.
The greatest obstacle on this path is your own ego. Of course you need an ego to even begin meditation. After all it only when you say ?I will practice meditation today? that you can get started. However, during the process of meditation it becomes bothersome if instead of thinking about the Supreme Consciousness you begin to think about ?my job?, ?my house, ?my car? and other things connected with your everyday life.
With constant practice you can overcome your attachment to mundane objects and one day arrive at a state when there will only be one thought in your mind, ?I am the Supreme Consciousness.? This is a great achievement (known in yoga as Savikalpa Samadhi) but even in this state your ?I? feeling still exists. As long as your feeling of individual consciousness exists, you will remain separate from ultimate union with the Supreme Consciousness.
Here is where the ?greatest secret of the universe? can help you out. Normally when you meditate, you are the subject and the Supreme Consciousness is the object of your thoughts. If you turn it all around and think that the Supreme Consciousness is the subject and you are his object then your meditation will change dramatically.
It will become much easier to remain in a meditative state when you think that the Supreme Consciousness is all around you, witnessing you, meditating on you. Instead of trying to meditate on the Supreme Consciousness, let him meditate on you! What could be simpler?
As simple as this technique is, it is the key to reaching a state where there is no feeling of your individual ?I? and only the oneness of blissful union with the infinite.
There is an old story that illustrates this process. A seeker came to a door and knocked. A voice asked, ?Who's there?? The seeker responded, ?I am here.? The door remained locked and there was no reply from within. The seeker returned another day and tried once more. Again when asked ?Who's there?? he replied ?I am here.? And again he failed to enter.
Finally one day he knocked at the door and when the voice asked, ?Who's there?? he replied, ?Thou? and the door opened for him.
Secret Of The Universe
My perspective on the Law of Attraction is that in life you get to "want what you want". The Law of Attraction is about obtaining anything you want, by believing that you can have it. If you want negativity and pain, you will get to "want negativity and pain". If you want wealth and fulfillment; you will get to "want wealth and fulfillment".
Everything that comes into your life you are attracting into your life by your thoughts. You are what you think. The more you think about attaining it, the more clearly you are advising the "secret universe" that that is what you want. It's a bit like tuning in a radio station on your car radio and getting a clear reception rather than the static buzz of not being tuned in properly.
This is an orderly universe. Nothing happens by accident. The visualizations you create in your mind establish attraction accelerators, which govern the results in your life. If you are fearful of being in debt, you will remain in debt. If you are preoccupied that the pain in your head might be a tumor, it may well turn out to be a tumor.
When I saw the movie The Secret, I found it affirming. It explained why I always find a car parking space when I need one ? because I always say there will be a space, we only need one. My wife had really wanted to go to Cirque du Soleil's Quidam, even though the cost had prevented her from doing any booking. She was determined to have our family enjoy the Quidam experience and remained absolutely clear on this unexpectedly and received tickets in the post from a friend.
But if the Law of Attraction is as simple as that, why aren't more people wealthy, and more fulfilled about the state their lives are in? It is because people unwittingly and frequently think about the things they don't want! Remember, we get to want what we don't want. The secret is to replace what you don't want by thinking about and attracting what you DO WANT.
The Law of Attraction is like a genie with many wishes, so you are invited to unleash your emotional genie and think big. Be clear about what you want, and you can ask for something that will not just benefit you, but others too. For example, you can set a goal to run your own business and earn $50,000 a month. That's a great goal. With that amount of money you can not only create a good life for your family, but also donate money to your favorite charities or fund neighborhood projects. You owe it not just to yourself ? but also to the world ? to THINK BIG. And then believe deep down that it is possible, and wait, and keep visualizing.
Are you afraid to ask for money, to attract money to you? Money on its own is neither good nor bad. It is a means to an end. All people throughout the civilized world use money as a medium of exchange for goods and services. Money is used as a token of trade, to represent value. It is just not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless you are rich. Without money you cannot move. You and I need money to satisfy our basic needs. Then in order to unfold the soul and to develop talent, you must have many things to use, and you cannot have these things unless you have money to buy them with.
When people associate money with greed and evil they may never experience the good that money can do. Neither will they themselves have a lot of money as they imagine themselves to be apart from it, separate from the evil. They see themselves as wrong for having it, and so they will never attract it to them.
But money is a powerful vehicle in helping people and doing good. The millionaires who are most fulfilled in life understand the Law of Attraction. They understand that they must earn it to enjoy the abundance that is their birthright. It is not a win-lose situation ? there is enough for everyone and they are eager to share it with everyone that desires abundance. They know what is hidden to most - that all of us can be rich. Once you start effectively applying the Law of Attraction to bring more abundance into your life one of the quickest things you'll notice is that opportunities start arising for you to earn extra money.
