Here are some thoughts, well-known and understood by those who walk the path of ascent in the light of their soul:
🎋
Through meditation correctly carried out, a channel of light is gradually built and strengthened between the physical brain and the soul.
By means of that channel, the soul light is anchored in the head of the seeker. This appears as a brilliant light—to those who can see—within the head during meditation. When the attention is drawn inward and upward in that light, the mind is held ‘steady’, that is, without any thoughts or movements of the lower mind.
In that condition of thoughtless, focused attention, the intuitive levels of the mind can come into play. Gradually, this becomes an instinctive, fixed condition, needing no formal meditation of ‘going within’ to bring it about. It requires steady practice.
Many individuals believe that any thought or idea that enters the mind during ‘meditation’ comes from the intuitional soul level and is guiding their actions. This is by no means the case.
It is extremely difficult for the average person to “hold the mind steady in the light” for long enough to invoke the intuition, and the ‘guidance’ which most people receive is that of their own lower minds, via the subconscious.
Discernment, discrimination, and detachment are essential skills for progressing on the path. They are the means through which one recognises those wonderful glints of light from the higher intuitive levels that guide the seeker along the path of ascent.
