Preview of the meditation

You ask what meditation is? I tell you, you already know the answer!

September 11, 2001: Terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, February 24, 2022: Russia's start of a large-scale war against Ukraine. You drive quite normally to work in the morning, and suddenly there's a car accident in front of you. You go for a walk with your family on a beautiful sunny and warm summer day in the city center, and suddenly an elderly woman is attacked, and the assailant runs off with her handbag. You're preparing a delicious dinner for your family and suddenly hear your son's screams from the garden, who twisted his foot while playing football.
What do all these situations have in common?

Well, you've probably experienced at least one of the above-described events, or at least other everyday circumstances that significantly deviate from ordinary everyday experiences, from what is expected.

In precisely these 'extraordinary,' often suddenly tragic moments, you get a preview of meditation. Exactly in these moments that seemingly don't occur very often, those that suddenly completely break through the normal, expected everyday life, meditation happens. Exactly in these moments, all mental activities suddenly turn off completely. 

All problems, worries, any identifications, the sense of time, the past, the future, all concepts, ideas, beliefs, all fears, relationship dramas, body perception, separations, matter—none of it is present.

In this one moment, you are completely present without being aware of it. What remains in these moments is perception without a perceiver, being without a being, what is, without you as the observer separate from what is happening, pure being. The absolute death of everything that is not real, all identifications simply fall away, all problems disappear. 

In those moments, where is the person, and where are others? Where is the past and the future? Where is the identification with the body, and where are all your worries and imaginings? Where are the thoughts? Where is the notion of birth and death?

Exactly, that is meditation.

Here and now, always.

You don't need to crash the car into a wall to be the divine thoughtlessness.

Through uninvolved and unbiased neutral observation of thoughts and mental activities, it becomes quieter and quieter and quieter.

And meditation, which is your nature, becomes clearer and clearer.

What is peace?

What is the peace that is always talked about?

Is it something learnable that one must cultivate afterwards.

Holding in one's center, being fully present with effort, maintaining inner calm, and repeatedly incorporating fixed methods into the daily routine, or else peace would be lost?

Numerous books on inner balance, resilience, concepts, 1001 theories, positive psychology, meditation methods for inner peace, non-fiction books, stacked up to the ceiling, '... find your center, sit in the cross-legged position, come to rest, eliminate all disturbances, relax, light a candle.' and and and, etc. etc. etc....

What would be the nature of what peace is if it were associated with so much diverse effort and striving?

A conditional practice by an instance employing cause and effect techniques, doing something to achieve something that is not present now.

Tied to the opposite and relative.

Peace that can only be as long as expectations are fulfilled. Peace that can only be as long as what disturbs the peace is absent.

Peace that can only be as long as the idea of what peace is, is collectively shared and demonstrated by other apparent fellow beings.

Isn't that hellish?

Isn't what peace is always there?

Isn't what peace is, untouched, undis

turbed, unchangeable, and everlasting?

Isn't what peace is, unconditional, unaffected by any phenomena, as the nature of what peace is, conditions all phenomena itself?

What is here and now and always there that cannot be conditioned?

What is here and now persistently there that cannot not be?

What are you here and now?

What is there when all notions, ideas, concepts, thoughts, mental identifications, attachments, and all desires cease?

What is there that perceives thoughts and cannot be influenced by them?

What are you that cannot not be?

That which is the nature of what unconditional peace is.

Undisturbed and everlasting.

Was never different and will never be different.

The Totality of your Nature

The totality of your nature is simply total. Total means, plainly and simply, everything and nothing.

All possible and impossible variations of 'good' and 'evil,' 'positive' and 'negative,' 'light' and 'shadow,' 'dark' and 'bright,' which should only serve as a hint to what 'YOU' truly are in reality, unconditionality, and perfection of your nature. In this sense, there is no 'good' and 'evil' in the reality of what you are, for two separate instances would have to exist for that, or there would have to be a defining person who, from a reference point of preconception, describes something as 'good' in contrast to something else as 'evil,' and that is simply not possible.

Everything is played by what 'YOU' are. All that is, ever was, and ever will be is an expression of your nature, which continuously, infinitely, and eternally dresses itself in different forms in every moment, yet cannot be changed or conditioned by the diversity of appearances and the multiplicity of all universal and worldly phenomena itself. There is nothing second to what 'YOU' are or what IS. Consequently, there is no instance that has ever done anything or not done anything. There is only 'you,' which continuously appears or manifests itself, whatever it may be.

Nothing can be taught to anyone, no one who must, should, or could understand or comprehend what it is. When the apparent dream of awakening unfolds, there is no instance during the apparent process of 'enlightenment' or the apparent end of the process of awakening or the dissipation of the identifying person that could do anything for or against it, although it may seem to have the appearance of free will. If it is to happen, it will happen, possibly recognized in the already determined moment that the idea of being born and dying is nothing more than a mental assumption of an illusory 'self' that accompanies suffering and fear of the seemingly unknown.

There are countless cases of extreme life circumstances where, for example, women who have been raped were afterwards in a process of awakening, realizing clearly that there is no one who has done or not done anything, thereby causing the 'ego' to collapse in consequence, the nature of unconditional peace is restored, and the idea of 'responsibility' and 'non-responsibility' or the perpetrator and victim disappears.

Extreme illnesses and tragic life circumstances can serve as an indication of your true nature, where it can seemingly be recognized that there is no one who suffers or could be sick, that it is only a variant of experience that cannot change or condition your nature of unconditional peace and unconditional love. All these phenomena are ultimately 'ego-killer mechanisms' dreamed up by yourself, which can serve to gradually dissolve the 'ego' or the 'basic self-identification' bit by bit, and reveal your true nature, which can no longer be clouded by anything.

Not wanting is also wanting

"Why is what you don't want an immediate command to life to appear?

The simple, essential, clear answer to the question 'Why is what you don't want a command to life to appear?' is as follows:

What attention is focused on becomes reality. Perpetually, continuously, completely, and directly, regardless of which phenomenon or circumstance it relates to.

Why are there chain smokers who quit smoking overnight after 20 years and never relapse? And where is the logic behind the fact that there are certain individuals who repeatedly attempt to quit smoking, who even write on their cigarette packs: 'I don't smoke anymore. I quit smoking.' yet continue to pick up the cigarette, sometimes even more frequently than before?

How is this to be understood?

The classic phrase used in psychology: 'Don't think of the pink elephant!' illustrates the situation very well in this context, and I would like to use it as an example here.

What appears mentally when the statement 'Don't think of the pink elephant!' is made?
Exactly, the 'pink elephant.'

And where would the difference be if the statement were as follows:

'Think of the pink elephant!'

The 'pink elephant' appears.

Do you notice anything?

Exactly, in both cases, it is a logical sequence of a phenomenon of cause and effect that has manifested through a mental thought process because attention has been fully focused on the representation of a pink elephant before your inner eye in the given moment.

The word 'not' has no relevance in this context and does not exist in itself, because in both statement variants, it is a command for the realization of certain thoughts that have, so to speak, 'materialized' or become what is mentally apparent before your inner eye in the given moment.

Suppose you have a bad habit that you want to change because it is not in harmony with what you want to be and manifest in the appearance of the world from your heart, or it stands in the way of you realizing your highest divine potential, which is only possible.

Let's stick with the example of quitting smoking.

We have already touched on and illuminated the attempt to quit smoking:

'I don't want to smoke anymore.' still results in wanting to smoke or even wanting to smoke more.

'I don't want to smoke!' results in still wanting to smoke.

'I can't smoke anymore.' is an affirmation of being able to smoke more.

'I quit smoking!' is a conscious directing of attention to smoking itself and confirms smoking.

Isn't all this a testament to unconsciousness, which brings about an endless, self-destructive, and painful cycle from which there seems to be no way out?

It is much simpler and easier...

Yes, exactly, it requires no effort at all!

On the contrary, you just have to be silent.

The answer to why you keep falling back into your old, self-destructive habits and thought patterns that become reality, which keep you small again and again and hinder your true potential development, is your unconsciousness and apparent forgetting of what you really are: a divine creator, to whom the infinite potential is available to manifest yourself in the most beautiful possible way in this moment.

Through conscious perception of mental thought processes, the conscious observation and unbiased observation of the limiting and destructive thoughts, ideas, and concepts that you may have carried and lived unconsciously for years, even from childhood, you open yourself more and more to your true nature, your divinity, which knows no disturbance, no problem, no dependency, no attachment, no limitation.

By becoming more and more aware of the mental thought processes, by allowing and consciously observing what is happening in the mind, you gradually come to rest, serenity, and progressive thoughtlessness, which automatically accompanies what you long for most: total freedom to manifest yourself as your divine nature has intended for you.
In meditation, by simply observing the mind and its activities, all dark, destructive thought processes dissolve into nothingness. At the same time, the peace of your nature is restored, perpetually in harmony with the heart, the most beautiful way to manifest yourself, to live here and now as what you are, as the heart desires."
