LIGHT MEDITATION PHASE TWO
First of all the word ‘light’ here does not mean the opposite of dark neither does it indicate ‘less vigourous’. Light here refers to the physical, perceivable (by thoughts and visualisation) form of the skeletal vibrations of the multiverse/ world that we are all a part of (Note, I do not say ‘we live in’ I specify ‘we are a part of’ because we are. We are like the limbs of a body. And what is a body without all its components?)
So we are all a part of a giant body that is too divine for us to normally imagine. (Try being a small cell in the corner of your finger and try imagining your entire body with all its physiology and biochemistry from the point of view of that cell. Immense, right?)
What we try to do to ‘connect’ with the ‘body’ is MEDITATE. Meditation is like communication (or focussed communication where we silence all other forms of communication between us and our physical 3D environment and try to communicate with the larger body instead.
Long back, when I used to devote more time for spiritual practise, I used to try and follow a simple yet powerful technique of meditation called ‘Light Meditation’. I had several experiences, but today I shall be discussing what I experienced in the newly started phase two, so to say, of my light meditation, which I could start thanks to the motivation from my guides.
When we do this technique, we essentially try to fill ourselves and all that is around us with a beautiful glowing light that we visualise. Now visualisation is an art in itself and can perhaps be discussed in another article. But the essence is that we fill everything, all of the world with this light. The ‘light’ heals us, fills the scars and brings wholesomeness in the world. The larger number of beings that do this, the better for us all.

Here I am not discussing the technique per se, only what it revealed to me. I was mediating, visualising the light fill me, fill the world and all the beings, living and ‘non-living’ that are there, when I have this feeling that ‘I am not so separate from the world and suddenly I was, so to say, within the earth, and the light was pouring down into me and the earth. I was all the people and the all the people were earth and the light filled us all. It was beautiful feeling, perhaps I cannot describe it aptly. Inside the earth I met a goddess, who got down from a white luminous lotus. I perhaps recognised her and asked her why her lotus was white and she gave some answer that I cannot recollect at all right now. However, she said that finally I was climbing the stairs of ascension. ‘We are indeed all one. Try to see yourself in all the people you know, those that you like and especially those that you like less. What part of them resembles you?’ I tried to do as she said and told her what I felt I had in common with the people I liked and didn’t.To understand the macrocosm, you need to go to the basics and understand the microcosm. This is what I was told.
‘Where do you think this light that you imagine comes from?’
I wondered.
‘Do you think you create it?' I was asked.
‘No of course, it is the intrinsic light of the universe.’ I replied.
‘So we all have the light, since you agree that we all are the constituents of the world, like the drops that make up an ocean?”
‘Yes’ I replied.
‘So that means the total amount of light must be fixed. So essentially, when you imagine the endless light pouring into you, you pour it from somewhere where there is much light?’
‘I think so’ I said.
‘So imagine you are a tiny nerve ending and you receive your signal (the light, in our case) from a ganglion. That makes sense.’
‘Yes that does.’
‘And that ganglion receives it from a higher structure like the brain.’
‘Yes’
‘So where does the brain get it from?’ I was asked.
I wondered. ‘The brain creates signal. Signals are in fact just changes in the ions in our body.’ I replied.
‘True. So the changes in the ionic composition is creating the signal that travels in the nerves. In our case, karma creates the light. The better your karma, the easier it is for you to channel the light. So, tell me, what creates the ionic changes?’
‘Some stimulus.’
‘Yes, in our case that would be the destiny or the obstacle or the stimulus or the key, whatever way you want to describe it.’
'So who is sending the stimulus out to us?’ I asked.
‘We are.’
‘Meaning?’
‘Meaning it is all a big loop. Your one action leads to another and the follow a series of events and then a series of karma and so on. All of this, time itself, is a loop of sorts. Time is like a giant complicated mobius strip.’
‘hmm’ I wondered
‘Who sends the signal to the brain, after all?’
‘The nerves themselves.’ I said.
‘Exactly. The brain is akin to the greatest, most fathomless pool of this ‘light’. It is like Prashakti. Then comes the ganglions, like Brahma Vishnu Mahesh or the Trinity, and then the still smaller collections of nerves, like the devas or the rishis or the archangels with a more specific function, so to say. And then come the warriors on the earth, the light workers. Much is needed from all the light workers, much ground work.
The goddess is not so structural. She is the essence of this all, the energy. If the God is a wheel, the Goddess is the moment of inertia or the intrinsic ability that makes the wheel so special from other shapes, for instance. She drives and halts the wheel.’

I don’t know if this is intelligible to you. Meditation teaches you in a language that you understand. We all need to find our own answers.
However, what I would like to ad here, and this is my opinion only, is that while light represents the yellow, or the direction East or the lord of knowledge and intuition in paganism, and even though light meditation heals and reveals, it is not sufficient. What is important that we do a meditation with each of the five elements namely Earth Water Air Fire Ether. This would be more balanced especially since water, the fluid element of unconditional love, makes us humble and protects us from being too proud of ourselves when we are learning from Light as incomplete knowledge can make us too haughty for our own good.
Water meditation is important. Again, we can discuss the techniques elsewhere in some other article.
The energy of ‘love’ is the foremost essence of all. While ‘Light’ could be considered the perceivable form of vibrations, it is ‘love’ that creates them.
Going back to our own microcosm, for instance, in a human foetus, the heart becomes functional before the brain.
