Understanding The Mechanism Of The Virtue Of Peace (Part 3)
To experience the eternal peace of the soul world, I do the simple exercise explained
yesterday and then go a step further. Having created the thought about myself
that I am a sparkling star-like energy at the centre of the forehead, just above
the eyebrows, visualized it and as a result experienced it, now my objective is
visualizing my star like form in the soul world. With this objective in mind, I
now create a simple thought that I the star-like energy will make a short journey
to the soul world and back. So I create simple thoughts and visualize alongside
that I, the soul am leaving my physical body and flying outside. Then I, see my
star like form, slowly fly past the ceiling of the room I am in and see myself suspended
in the sky (night sky makes the visualization more easy). I see myself as a point
of radiant light high above many many buildings and lights. This is similar to what
one would see from an aeroplane window while landing or taking off. I then see my
light form going higher, past the atmosphere and going past a sea of stars and a
few planets and the moon. I then take this visualization further and see myself
entering the soul world, a region of soft orange-red light (this is similar to how
it looks like at dusk). This region is multidimensional and unlimited in size or
expanse. I see my star-like form suspended in this region, radiating rays of peace
in all directions. I also see other white/golden star-like souls just like me in
the same region. I spend some time in this region, in this experience. In this region
my thoughts stop completely and I am only visualizing.
This is the eternal peace experienced whilst visualizing the spiritual self in the
soul world. The peace experienced in this exercise is greater than in the exercise
mentioned yesterday. Thus the sanskara of peace created in the soul in this exercise
is deeper. After a few minutes of this experience, I see myself descending
in the physical body in exactly the same way as I flew to the soul world. This is
just a visualization exercise or experience and the soul does not actually leave
the body and go anywhere. The two practical exercises explained in yesterday's
and today's message can be used to experience the two types of peace mentioned.
At one time, you can choose to either experience both types or only the first one.
You can start with a few minutes and increase the time gradually. Continuous practice
will create stronger sanskaras of peace and take you closer to your original state
of peace.

Message for the day 13-03-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Even the most difficult task is made easy with the cooperation of all.
Projection: When given a responsibility we usually think of doing it alone.
We usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. We do this in order to avoid
the different kinds of personalities that we have to deal with.
Solution: When involved in a big task, we need to see to it that we involve
many. When we involve many and make sure we make use of their specialities even
the most difficult task will be made easy. Secondly, the good wishes of all involved
will be for the task which will add to its success.
