Symbol Meditation and Consciousness States

The reaction of what is happening on this other plane - and the point is that when you are here, what appears below you either exists or doesn't exist, exactly as you might say your eyes are open or closed, it doesn't matter whether you're sitting or standing if you're thinking about something. You don't care if you're sitting, standing, or if it's happening the same way, when you use it as a step to activate this mind that is meta-rational, that is supra-rational. Once you are here, you must remain there as much as possible - that is the fundamental point. You must throw yourself into this reality and establish, enter this other world, establish contacts, do what you need to do, let's put it that way, in this other world. And the rest, if you then return, let's say because if you then have, what? You start again, repeating things to yourself or concentrating until, reusing this mechanism, but it no longer has great value. But this is precisely how symbol meditation is done - therefore using concentration meanwhile that you don't go beyond, using the rational mind, even effort. Effort is something you shouldn't strain physically - you can do an exercise, you can strain with all the muscles of your body thinking, for example, I know of a kind I know, trying to awaken yourself, to affirm, and then with that same mental intensity, relax all the muscles and put that physical energy into mental energy. There must not be an inner tension, even when of the type you don't think - it must not be that you don't think because you stiffen up, it must be that you channel these forces onto a state that no longer has contact with these other states. So it's not mental hyperactivity, it's not physical hyperactivity, it's not physical rigidity, it's not emotional hyperactivity. Why? Because you have taken all these forces and sent them to this other plane where there is no contact with these bodies. Therefore in this case, let's say there is no effort in the usual sense, there is intensity, but you must be very careful that this intensity doesn't generate what is said in Alchemical Zen, the game of pricks - it must not generate jerks, it must be a solve et coagula, dissolving the body, dissolving the entire part of personality and instead concentrating the subtle part, separating the thick from the subtle. Here in this game that one must do at the beginning, then at a certain point when one begins to do meditation properly, especially that on the symbol, it's easier to perceive what this intention means, this intensity, this psychic contact with the reality that is behind. Then you must maintain it as much as possible, strengthen it until you can then calmly, in some way, also live different things. At the beginning, already simply having this attunement is already a lot, therefore it's about keeping thoughts coordinated with the symbol, yes, concentrated - that is, if all thoughts have taken it, certainly there are no stupid questions, right? No, and if not, I'm ready to record. No, I was saying about the anxiety price - it's not that I tried to do meditation, but I remember an episode where I got scared when I felt I had crossed a certain threshold, I got scared and went back. Fear - then look, at the beginning it's simply with calm, with practice, with practice one understands there is nothing to fear. That is, the point is that you have everyone at the beginning when these bodies, we are like cemented. The point is with study, the answer - because by studying you know what is happening to you. When someone, for example, has a state and doesn't know what is happening, they are afraid, they are afraid of the unknown. If they study and know what is happening, they are not afraid because, clearly, if you go out but have never seen, don't know that cars exist, don't know that traffic lights exist, you go out but are afraid, obviously. Once you know that cars exist, traffic lights exist, you try, then you go out, you are not afraid - it's the same thing. There are natural phenomena that happen simply because we are cemented, this personality is like being cemented, thinking, feeling one's own perception, that is, conceiving oneself as a body. When you begin this abstraction, these bodies gradually begin to loosen and your attention begins, your sensitivity begins to withdraw. Then you feel yourself expand, feel half here, half there - these are natural processes simply of purification. One calmly - these are effects to which one must not pay attention because these go away, they disappear peacefully. Instead, one must concentrate and must not, especially there is this rose which is the same thing - that is, 10,000 phenomena of 10,000 tender things can happen, anything - you must not give a damn, no, you must not give a damn because you must not pay attention to them, ok, because they are subjective things that then go away. Therefore it is not, it is not, no, it is normal. Then with breathing anyway these things of nausea, something passes you, ok, therefore doing breathing exercises is useful because it, in some way, purifies you of all these sensations. Thanks, no, and below there is the other, there is the whole psychic aspect of different psyche, no, no, I said it, there are reasons why for example you might want to do certain things, ok, but let's say it's a path you travel every night usually, general line, this no, the ideal, no, the ideal would be that while the body, while the body goes in this direction, consciousness goes in this other one - that is, to separate the thick from the subtle, to leave the body that sleeps and regenerates perfectly with all things because it gives it only boredom, the ego - that is, because, because you must sleep because the ego on personality has a destructive action because it needs, it's like a flame that burns a candle. So what happens? It happens that you at a certain point must in a...
