Meditation can be considered as the greatest challenge of a human being. In walking the Spiritual Path a person has to completely transcend their small self and merge with the Absolute Oneness of God.

When we turn up on our cushions we do so complete with our physical bodies, our emotions and of course our minds. Each will in its own way present us with challenges. Physically bodies are constantly going out of balance and we need to do the best we can to keep them well. Our emotions are continually surfacing and adding colour to our thoughts. Our minds are supplying us with endless commentary and debate.

We are told that we incarnate to learn life’s lessons; therefore we should embrace the above.

The Light and Sound are our greatest teachers and will illuminate parts of us that we may have glossed over or consciously suppressed. The best teachers always unfold their lessons at the speed appropriate to the pupil. This is exactly what the Spiritual Energies do.

However, if you feel that you are being given too much, then all you have to do is stop Meditating and reflect on your realizations, until you are comfortable to continue.

Remember all the challenges lie within you; it was you that brought them to the cushion.

It must be understood that Everything is One – A fundamental Principle. Each atom that makes the Universe at large comes from the same Source which can be referred to as God.

Following that fundamental Principle it means that Everything in the Universe is One – which is God. In connecting a person with the Light and Sound it means that they are Meditating on the Manifestation of that Source. It could be said that people are actually Meditating on Themselves, meaning the Highest part of Them.

This is the Journey that is taken by an individual to find his True Nature – which is God.

A person Meditating has the choice of whether to “let go” of earthly concerns. If they do then their Journey will be relatively simple and they will reach the Source (Enlightenment) quickly and easily. A person who takes only fears and worries into their Meditations won’t have such an easy time. They may have trouble contacting the Energies (Light and Sound) and may need help from a more experienced Meditator.

Either way the Goal can be reached. The full realization and the connection with the Source is beyond anything that has ever been experienced prior to. The Joy, the Peace and the Love is Immeasurable and is Impossible to describe or understand.

It has been called “The Peace that passeth all Understanding” for good reasons.
