How do we begin? P concentration. Focus turns inward focus of attention. We turn away from images continuously flash the outside world and turn to study endless string of internal states. If we are to care for any of them, you soon will discover that the core of any mental state concluded something totally different from him - namely, the complete absence of the condition.
Close vsmotrevshis to any experience, any thought or emotion, we find in the depths of its point of rest, of emptiness and loss. Focusing on this point leads to the dispersion of this state by the return of his energy in this point.
After a little practice is easy to see that the hollow point, inside the various states of consciousness, in fact, are one point, around which revolves the whole mental life. This invisible point of the internal space is impersonal neutral background on which the unfolding drama of the inner reality of man.
The word "point", but more specifically refers to the need to infiltrate deep into any thoughts or emotions. It was there, in the heart of any of our mental vibrations, we can find that support, you can tame a wild жеребца our psihorealnosti and send him running to us in the right direction. How can I do?
Focus on what we are experiencing right now. Our state has a certain color. It may be ponderous, sluggish, in contrast, excited-raised, or neutral. Give their full attention to what is happening inside us, listen. If we are careful enough, you will soon see that this is not all.
There, in the very depths of the state is something else that has no color. It gaud, silently and impersonally. There may be a feeling that from there, from the depths of someone watching us. Looks carefully, calmly and impartially. Continuing to look at something that lives deep inside, we see that the emotional state of Coloring disappeared, she lost strength. This man has taken a deep in thought or emotion that just owned us.
Continuing to look inside, ask: who or what looks inside ourselves? The answer seemed to be obvious: it is I myself, my attention. But then - who or what is living in the depth to which we look? After all, it is also our part.
And suddenly, people realize that this, in depth, and I squint at him - the same thing! Looking deeper into the well, we see his face. We suddenly feel and understand that there is no division within us there is one and the same consciousness that lives on the surface "I" and in its depths. Between these levels the difference is the same as between the water surface and the depth of the pond. Looking in depth, we know there himself.
By extending this awareness, we are easy to figure out that the peaceful essence of consciousness, at first falsely perceived split in the superficial and deep, is at the heart of the foundation or any of our feelings or thoughts. Any of these states, who are us, is nothing but a crisp on the surface of the lake of consciousness. Depth is always calm.
Thus, our depth is the essence of emotional pie filling, eating which is the main content of our mental life. But the water on the surface and in depth - the same! And a deep peace, and stalking chatter of thoughts, and a passionate impulse, and blunt stupor - all this is made up of one substance called consciousness.
What is it - conscience? Reply to this question is meant to allow the mystery of life. To find out what consciousness is to understand the whole.
Start a need to understand about how our mental mechanism, how it works, and what forces led him to move. Only then can the mechanism to address and to touch the source of the creative forces that created it. To understand all this should be no head, but to touch and feel the device mechanism to the smallest screw. All are arranged in the same way. If you understand the device's own mental machinery, will understand the other internal structures.
Psyche is driven by Bashan, or latent predispositions and tendencies, stored in memory. These are the hidden springs that lie behind each of our actions. We are driven by the desire to obtain as much information as possible. Absolutely everything we do, is just that.
We exist because we want to survive, to experience and learn as much as possible. Battle for the information - what created the universe. This game is fun and God playing with himself. Once Ramana Maharshi [Ramana Maharshi - one of the most famous of Indian sacred 20 th century. - Approx. auth.] asked what a world. He wittily remarked: "Boring dine alone."
When the amount of information gathered about the world reaches a certain critical point, and it ceases to meet the perceived or dzhivu [Dzhiva - the individual soul, embodied in different bodies. - Approx. auth.], he turns to himself and turned inward. Individual consciousness is beginning to look at itself and examine itself.
By introspection, let us not forget that the truth that we are looking for, there is a certain place in space. Therefore, do not expect that we will find it "inside" after years of strenuous meditation. Our goal is not localized. It is neither inside nor outside. When we do not see any inside or outside - that we see, and where are we? This is the place you want to find and where to stay.
When properly done sadhana [Sadhana - spiritual practice. - Approx. auth.] when the mind calms down, the interest in external objects and the waning light and the experience of domestic bliss becomes stable, dzhiva initially see themselves as something separate from the universe and totally alien to her, again directs our attention outward and begins to recognize itself in everything -- just as madly in love a person can be your love everywhere.
Percipient is aware that the whole external world has no independent reality, as is his own projection. Just understand suddenly woken people that saw them unrealistic dream. Power of consciousness, we create the world exactly the same as projecting a lot of incredible worlds of dreams. Raspoznavaya outside world as its own projection, we learn in this world, continued his "I".
The moment of recognizing themselves in the whole is very important - this will disappear after the division between internal and external. The inner world is connected with the world of things and phenomena. Here comes the realization that, in fact, the division into internal and external never existed.
You receive a sense of reality - a reality becomes the only experience of its own "I" that extends to infinity. This experience has nothing to do with the old "I" of man - small, poor, zadergannym, forever unsatisfied, before the confinement within the prison, their hopes, fears and desires.
The experience of the new "I" is not in itself is nothing personal, limited, closed in itself. It has to open inwards and outwards, upwards and downwards, it is infinite as space. In this state there is no me and no other - all is One. This is one neunichtozhimo, prohibitive to all and indescribably.
