About Meditation

What does the course material say about meditation?

Why meditation?

Q: What are some ways people can become more self-empowered? 

A: Well, you certainly have to get in touch with yourself. One of the best ways of doing that in our view is by meditation, whatever that means to you. It can be something as simple as taking a few moments each day and getting yourself into a comfortable place on a chair or even lying on a bed and focusing on your breathing. And that centers you, it gets you in touch with your body, and it also opens you up to the world of spirit in a way that most people are not open in their normal waking consciousness each day.

Certainly it's never beneficial to anyone to do anything that does not feel good to them. And so many humans are doing things that don't feel good to them. The perfect example of that is people are often in jobs they hate. They're doing the work for the money, not because they love it, and that is very counterproductive to what people want for themselves.

So anytime you're doing anything that does not feel good to you, or that does not resonate with you — even if it is a job that's paying you thousands, and hundreds of thousands of dollars — if it's something you really dislike, you're doing yourself a great disservice and you're distancing yourself more and more from your higher self. You can't disconnect from your higher self, but you can certainly get out of alignment from your higher self, and that's what's happening with so many people today. 

So the basic goal here is to get back into alignment with your higher self, and once you do that, you'll be flooded, you'll be inundated with the joy that your higher self feels in every present moment. Your higher self exists in a state of perfect bliss, joy, and ecstasy. And your goal as a human extension of this higher self is to get more in touch with that higher, divine part of you.

Q: If one wanted to be more connected to what we call God, what are some of the methodologies and ways that one could do that? 

A: When you start the journey of connection, there are physical things that you might do at first. You might decide that the best thing to help you tune is to meditate. And you'd be right. For you would tune out those things in your brain where the tapes play, as they say. Where the reality plays, as they say. And so deep meditation might be the part that you would start with to start the pipeline going. And so this is what we would recommend to those just starting —that is to take this time to be quiet. But in the process of your learning there will be the temptation for you to start asking all manner of questions. “What should I do next? Why am I here? Why is this happening? What do I do here, what do I do there?” And this might sound like a reasonable thing to ask of anyone, especially of spirit on the other side of the veil, and yet I will tell you again: there's only one question you should ask. It's the fast track, as they say, to spirituality. It is the fast track, as they say, to getting whatever it is that you have come for. It is one question and that is: “Dear God, tell me what it is I need to know?” And this question will open the door for synchronicity you may never have thought of in your laundry list of questions you have for God. So therefore we say to this human being who would be watching this now: whatever is before you and whatever challenges are there, the fast track through all that is to get into a meditative state with pure intent, and say to God, to spirit, “I love you, I know you're there, show me what it is I need to know.” And don't expect an answer to fall upon you in a physical way, but instead expect that you have connected to what seems to be the chaos of the system of the universe. Connected in such a way that the synchronicity will begin to appear in your lives like little open doors here and there to guide you to the places that will answer the questions that you would have had otherwise. 

Q: Do you then somehow have to keep the connection going, or is it made then? 

A: You've just asked the big question. As the energy moves forward, are things going to change? Do you really need to open and close the connection? Is it truly like what you would do in communications on a telephone, opening and closing the connection? Say hello and goodbye? And the answer is “no.” For this energy is promoting an ongoing 100 percent constant connection. It is something that all humanity can have. It will not mean that you will move from place to place in challenge. Hardly. It means that you will move from place to place in peace. That is to say you will be at peace with yourself; you will have answers come when they need. You will seem to be an ordinary person, but an ordinary person without drama. One who has answers when they need it, and one who meditates perhaps fewer times because the door is always open. You will not appear to be odd or strange but you will know the door is open. And that is being promoted by the new energy and shift upon you.

Q: Is there such thing as walking meditation? 

A: Absolutely, all the time, even while driving. Be careful, but it is indeed there. Many have said it's the angels who take care of you as you're doing these things. The actual answer is it is a state which you are not aware of. You are aware of a state of meditation, a state of sleep, a state of awareness, a state of awaking, perhaps even visions. It's beyond any of those. It's where all of your body knows everything that's going on around it, completely and totally, even in conversation. But there is a third language which is upon you, another pipe that you might imagine is right in the pineal, that is the third eye, the ascension pipe that is always there giving you the answers and the questions and all the things you need to exist at the same time you are in 3D.

Q: Is there really much difference between meditation and prayer?

A: There is a large difference. “Prayer” is consciously directed energy. “Meditation” is being open to what comes in. Prayer is directing, not so much asking. Prayer means to consciously direct your thoughts which are your power.

Q: Then prayer is a real thing?

A: Prayer is definitely real, and it is definitely powerful.

Q: Some people use empty prayers. They just repeat things. They really don’t put anything behind it.

A: That is because they are limited by each of their individual definitions of the term.

Q: In some churches, they just recite things and there is no meaning behind it.

A: The church isn’t a good place to find legitimate prayer. We are only now learning what prayer really is. As each of us has more power than we are aware of, when we come together to direct our thoughts to a certain goal, we have greatly magnified power.

The churches had the right idea in forming a place where people could come together and greatly magnify their power to the greater good. Unfortunately, the direction got lost.

Q: Do they have to pray to an entity or to anyone in particular?

A: Prayer means to “Think your conscious thoughts toward a specific goal.” You can pray toward the negative as well as the positive. It is hoped that it would always be toward the positive. The positive force is the greatest force.

Q: You don’t have to direct it toward a god or another entity?

A: That is where man has messed up. The Force is all. To limit it to an entity is not correct. Aim it to the “glue”.

Q: Then they don’t need to pray to a god and ask for help in that way?

A: Oh, no! God is not “a being” or “an entity”. God, as you are speaking of God, is the great positive force, the collective positive force of ALL THAT IS. To call God “an entity”, and especially to personify God, is to limit the concept.

Q: Humans are so used to thinking of it as a higher person.

A: That is correct. That is one of your largest problems.

Q: Then when we use the force of prayer, we don’t direct it to any one thing. We just direct it to a goal?

A: Correct. The goal of merging with the greatest good, the positive force. The glue of the universe! That is an appropriate term.

Q: What about praying for protection of other individuals?

A: What you are actually doing is praying that the positive force be conscious of that individual. You are praying for awareness of the positive force.

Q: But it does no harm to direct it toward a “figure” we call God, does it?

A: It only limits it (the concept).

Q: What about angels? Some people pray to angels and saints.

A: Those terms are also limiting. We are all operating through physical minds. There are many concepts incomprehensible to the human brain: “Foreverness”, “Eternity”, are concepts very difficult for the limited human brain to ascertain. So if it is helpful to the individual to think in terms of “Angels, Spirits, and Gods,” that should be the vehicle to get them to the larger understanding. It should not be the end.

Q: I have heard so many theories. I have heard that when the world was created, the angels were those spirits or souls that never left the sight of God.

A: To use terms like the “sight” of God is already personifying the force. The force can manifest however it can be received by the human mind. This is all coming from the “God Source”. All is from God. Any negative things have been made up by man.

D: How do you define angels?

J: They are those who are in service to this humanity. In the most general terms that’s how we define them. As there are several levels of – by levels we do not mean superior or inferior. We mean levels in the service that they render to humanity. But this group is dedicated to the welfare, to helping, those who have chosen to incarnate in this place.

D: I’ve heard that they have never had physical existences. Is that true? (Yes) So they help the ones who have agreed to become physical.

J: That is correct.

Q: Would it be helpful to meditate at any certain time of day?

A: Yes. The time before sunrise, when the day is not day and the night is not night, there is a stillness and a darkness and a peace. The whole Earth is aware of this time. So is everyone else. So are the animals and the plants, the winds and the waters. This is the optimum, premium, easiest and best time to meditate. – Of course, it is not always the easiest time for the human who is working!

Q: Would there be a second best time of the day?

A: Yes, early morning. Any early morning time seems to be a good time. The other time seems to be when the sun sinks from sight. When we have that twilight period, there is also a stillness that occurs, that we as humans are also aware of. That, too, is a good time. There is no bad time to meditate! Any time a human will use the discipline to do it is a good time.

Q: How can we be sure if the thoughts that come through in meditation are our thoughts or coming from higher planes?

A: It is the amount of emotion and feeling that is connected with that thought. Random thoughts that occur and flit through your mind about things past, things desired, speculations, hopes and dreams, do not have the emotional impact that impressions from your larger self have. The feeling is your key. If you just think the answer in words, with no feeling, it needs to be critically analyzed. It seems that feeling is essential.

Q: One of the things she wanted to know, if you can tell her about her general history, or the story of her soul.

J: She has been and comes from many places, and this is one reason her work is important. She’s able to access information from many places, and those parts of her soul that have lived in those places at those dimensions and those vibrations. She is to bring that in to serve more people of varied crystalline structures, as we would say. They have multiple dimensional lives that affect these crystalline structures. She’s able to work in all these other dimensions at the same time. And this enables her work to cross through the worlds much faster and easier. So she has to bring those other parts of herself together and keep bringing them in, in order to make that work. She has to be able to access those places.

D: That’s what I’ve been told. We are not just this one individual. We are actually – splinters is one word – or facets? Would those be appropriate words?

J: Yes, you are many experiences. She’s becoming more aware of these other places. And this is a process many humans can go through. They come to a place where they’re able to have this process happen for them. But it’s not until they’re ready, and they can handle all those multiple vibrations with their physical body. This is why meditation is important, because it raises a vibration to handle stronger energies, and more multi-layered energies that are made of varied vibrations, and they can work with them. It’s like working on the other planes in multi-dimensions all at the same time.

I asked what could be done for her digestive system, and it said again that everything was fine. She just had to relax. “She does meditate, and that is good. That’s how everything gets connected. She’s passing on information when she does that. And also during the meditation the body gets healed. It gets her restored. She has difficulty sleeping at night because at night is when her mind information gets transferred. The nervousness. She gets too worried about the world. She sometimes forgets that it’s part of just an experience. And there is nothing to worry about. She is just the observer. She worries too much. She needs to enjoy life and to know that she has all the assistance that she needs...and more.

Parting message: Start meditation. Very important ... get back on it. Then we can communicate, and he will evolve, and yes, it raises vibrations. And exercise. This will build up his heart and improve his mood."

She was told her purpose: To be an instrument of peace and joy. It’s an informal change agent. That she teaches by example in any form of gathering. To do meditation in the morning upon arising. To make sure she connects and is balanced in the morning. When she asks the question the first answer will be us answering. “She’ll hardly be able to get the question out before she’ll hear the answer.”
