The Wave and 4th Density Revisited (Page 2 of 2)

Not everyone I have difficulties. You mentioned this a while ago – bringing the subconscious into the conscious. To me, that sounds very plausible. I wonder what I am doing while meditation, when my mind gets calm. Usually I focus my attention on the in- and outflow of the breath and “watch”  my mind. When I focus completely on the internal dialogue it immediately stops. It feels like my formerly shattered being merges into one and gets very dense. If the focus drifts away, various thoughts start to appear again. Do I pull the subconscious into the conscious then or do I restrict my thoughts and push them into the subconscious?
How do you discern between the internal babbler and other “necessary”  thoughts that pop up in the mind?

Ever try forcing yourself to fall sleep? It feels like shutting off all thought and then pushing away even your own awareness and self-awareness so that you pass into unconsciousness. If successful, you get swallowed by oblivion and forget what happens next. That is the conscious sinking into the subconscious, the opposite of proper meditation because it reduces awareness. Trying to meditate this way by blanking your mind completely is like hitting the breaks without letting off the accelerator. Normal awareness is like driving in busy traffic with pot holes and speed bumps. Proper meditation is exiting onto a smooth and straight highway, shifting into high gear and cruising serenely, taking in the scenery while staying centered in your lane.

How to tell if you have lowered or raised your awareness during meditation? By the following: when you end your meditation, are you able to verbally articulate your thoughts with greater precision than normal, or do you feel too blank to talk or think and could just as well stare at a wall catatonically? The latter indicates you have forcefully suppressed rather than raised your awareness, with results similar to how psycho-tranquilizers affect the mind. What you do during meditation carries momentum well afterwards, and a stilled / clarified / sharpened awareness during leaves it so for a while afterwards. The trick is simply to be fully present in yourself and broaden the bandwidth of your attention while minimizing internal noise...thus you expand consciousness.

The internal babbler babbles, while necessary thoughts are necessary. Listen to your internal dialogue or internal narration and pay attention to how much of that actually needs to be internally verbalized. I don't need to say in my head "Let's go to the fridge and grab a snack" as I walk to the kitchen, yet the babbler says it anyway, and continues unless I take control of my mind and stop letting it waste my energy with all that redundancy. The babbler also likes to make me engage in circular debates with imaginary adversaries over trivial things, which according to Don Juan is a common way the predator/babbler extracts energy from you. You'll find that in most cases, the abstract, intuitive, audiovisual content can be kept and the babbling dispensed with. Like reading a book and directly seeing the scene in your mind's eye without verbalizing the words. It's a faster form of awareness.

When an epiphany comes to me, it's always as an audio-visual-intuitive "thought ball" ... then internal talking does come in handy to unravel it into linear form to express through speech or writing. So it's not the inner vocalization that is "bad", rather it is the hijacking of that faculty by a "foreign installment" that keeps the mind occupied with trivialities and annoyances all day. In conversation, you gotta stop speaking to listen. Likewise, inside you must stop babbling to receive an intuitive impression, but that does not mean shutting out all impression, it just means thinking and perceiving at a higher and more focused level. In conversation, just because silence is the key to listening doesn't mean you tell the other person "shhh, I'm trying to listen!" hahaha.

This is one of the best threads yet! -- incredible posts. Really encouraging to read so many people are focusing on  positive aspects.
Montalk, I agree 100% that things don't just 'come to us' ... not without our giving Intention and Consent, consciously or unconsciously.  When people create by "default" instead of "deliberately" they seldom want to lay claim to their creation.

I agree with what you said, too, Z3N, in that it is not our 'overcoming' .. but 'becoming'. Overcoming entails resistance that tends to keep what we do not want velcro'd to us.
Capitan, I applaud your breakthrough in seeing that it is your emotional blockage that seems to be tearing you up. I promise you, you WILL survive when you allow your emotions to flow. It might be quite a wild ride but you will be OK. Please don't give the 'wall' itself too much fear and power...you are STILL the master. The P's have this saying: Dealing is Feeling, and Feeling is Healing. I'd venture to say that every Rx drug on the market is aimed at preventing us from FEELING...and therefore actually HEALING.
I have always appreciated Seth's take on emotions. He said war is the result of a feeling of __powerlessness__ ... not aggression. We have been taught to avoid negative emotions!--therein lies the actual danger.
Also, thank you, Montalk and Pleiadian Healer for the great lists.
Not everything about the New Age was Pink Fluffy...or I guess as referred to on this list as woowoo. The GOOD thing about it was that it lent itself more to FEELINGS ... We can spiritually intellectualize til the cows come home, but unless it is accompanied by feelings, its imbalanced... at least that is my experience.
Actually, looking back, I enjoy some of the goofy memories I have about the times I really got into the Pink Fluff stuff. Hey! I had FUN. I didn't go so far as to wear the flowing white gowns and have an ameythist crystal taped to my forehead (I actually saw that once! ) but a lot of it was like vacationing in Disneyland after being caught up in my horrible religious experiences. (not a bad analogy if I say so myself! ...LOL )
