But, why get others to do your work for you? You don't even know who 'sophie' is! Let's see your dome badge or get out of here - stop wasting out time. Or at least, shut your big pie hole about TM. According to Maharishi, TM is the passing of the cognitive attention from one level of consciousnes to another, sutler level of consciousness. This passing back and forth between the gross and finer levels of consciousness is what makes possible the opportunity for transcending. First, there is just thought; then become aware of the bija-mantra, just like any other thought. In TM, when the thought process reaches the finest level of awareness, thought drops off and the practitioner is left all by his Self. How to Be? Stop being active, but don't become passive. That is, stop being active, but don't fall asleep. Just Be. Pure Consciousness. Just go in and meditate, then come out and radiate! It's that simple. Enjoy. Now that wasn't that difficult, was it, Mr. Boo? Walla Sutra 1.3: "No object has been percieved; not the field, but the perceiving subject; not prakrit, in any form, but the Person, alone, a witness: consciousness of nothing in and of itself; transcendental and ideation." > > meditation > > > > noun > > > > 1. to think calm thoughts in order to relax or as a > > religious activity: > > > > Sophie meditates for 20 minutes every day. > > > > 2. to think seriously about something for a long time: > > > > He meditated on the consequences of his decision. > > > > Source: > > > > Cambridge University Dictionary: > > http://tinyurl.com/dz5ut2 > >
