The Law of One Sessions 49: Question 8

2 results found.

49.8 Questioner: Is it better, or shall I say, does it produce more usable results in meditation to leave the mind, shall I say, as blank as possible—let it run down, so to speak—or is it better to focus in meditation on some object or some thing for concentration?

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this work time.

Each of the two types of meditation is useful for a particular reason. The passive meditation involving the clearing of the mind—the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples—is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator. This is an useful and helpful tool, and is, by far, the most generally useful type of meditation as opposed to contemplation or prayer.

The type of meditation which may be called visualisation has as its goal not that which is contained in the meditation itself. Visualisation is the tool of the adept. Those who learn to hold visual images in mind are developing an inner concentrative power that can transcend boredom and discomfort. When this ability has become crystallised in an adept, the adept may then do polarising in consciousness without external action which can affect the planetary consciousness. This is the reason for existence of the so-called white magician. Only those wishing to pursue the conscious raising of planetary vibration will find visualisation to be a particularly satisfying type of meditation.

Contemplation, or the consideration in a meditative state of an inspiring image or text, is extremely useful also among your peoples, and the faculty of will called praying is also of a potentially helpful nature. Whether it is, indeed, an helpful activity depends quite totally upon the intentions and objects of the one who prays.

May we ask if there are any brief queries at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. Each of the energy centres of the physical complex may be seen to have a distinctive crystalline structure in the more developed entity. Each will be somewhat different, just as in your world no two snowflakes are alike. However, each is regular.

The red energy centre often is in the shape of the spoked wheel.

The orange energy centre in the flower shape containing three petals.

The yellow centre again in a rounded shape, many faceted, as a star.

The green energy centre sometimes called the lotus-shape, the number of points of crystalline structure dependent upon the strength of this centre.

The blue energy centre capable of having perhaps one hundred facets and capable of great flashing brilliance.

The indigo centre a more quiet centre which has the basic triangular, or three-petaled, shape in many, although some adepts who have balanced the lower energies may create more faceted forms.

The violet energy centre is the least variable and is sometimes described in your philosophy as thousand-petaled, as it is the sum of the mind/body/spirit complex distortion totality.
