In the practice of this form of meditation, consciousness is made to dwell upon itself.
When properly and successfully practiced, this is the most powerful and highest form of meditation. While focusing in the
Heart Chakra or in the Sahasraram Chakra at the crown of the head, place the attention on the attention itself. If any distractions
come in the form of thoughts and perceptions of a specific nature, then immediately concentrate your attention upon that consciousness
in you which is the experiencer of those thoughts and perceptions. Even the manifestation of spiritual light and sound current
should be regarded in this way. The sound current and the light are merely the lower overtone manifestations of the pure consciousness
upon which you are meditating. The more you hold your attention steady in concentration upon itself, the more the light, sound
current, electrical sensations in the body, feelings of magnetic force, sensations of weightlessness, etc. will manifest automatically.
If, however, you allow your attention to become distracted by any of these manifestations, then you will be subject to the
limitations of the thing by which you have been distracted; and the focusing of pure consciousness will be interrupted so
that all of the things which are the lower overtones and by-products of the focusing of pure consciousness, possibly including
the psychic manifestation which distracted your attention, will also stop. Seek ye first the kingdom of pure consciousness
and all of these other psychic manifestations will be added unto you.
Placing the attention on the attention
itself can be done in any location in space since pure consciousness, which is the same as God, is an omnipresent principle.
In the beginning, it will be found easiest to do this in one of the chakras, preferably the Heart Chakra or the Sahasraram
or Head Center. The Agna Chakra or Third Eye Center located on the brow can also be used with good results, but it is better
to use the Sahasraram Chakra if you can activate it.
With practice of this form of meditation, your pure consciousness
will experience itself as a blazing sea of white light extending infinitely in every direction. The pure consciousness itself
is crystalline and colorless, but it generates the white light, which is the simultaneous presence of all of the colors which
are the specific lower overtone rates of vibration, which the pure consciousness generates.
The placing of the
attention on the attention itself in a specific chakra brings about a condition in that chakra, in which its vibration structure
is harmonically and geometrically aligned in all of its planes of manifestation or rates of vibration. This creates common
node points in the inner plane structure of the chakra. Vibrations of different frequencies and different wavelengths all
begin and end together at these common node points. This is made possible by the fact that the wavelengths of the various
vibrations and their frequencies all bear exact mathematical rates to each other, like the notes in a musical scale. Any vibrations
which are out of phase in terms of their spatial distribution or vibratory rates are automatically canceled out by interfering
with other waves at the common node points. Where several wavelengths, both short and long, begin and end their cycles together,
it is possible to slip through the dimensions and to experience the higher spiritual rates of vibration and approach the Atman,
which moves with infinite speed. At these common node points, the exchange of energy from one octave or plane to another also
becomes possible, allowing a flow of energy from the higher dimensions into the lower dimensions. Thus, a transmutation of
those vibration patterns which exist on the lower dimensions into the higher ones becomes possible. The soul is then able
to control the personality structure, making it a fit instrument of spiritual expression in the affairs of men. This form
of meditation develops one-pointed concentration.
Since the use of psychedelic drugs stimulates the flow of a
great amount of energy from higher planes into the lower planes, any thought and emotion patterns created during a psychedelic
session are strongly imprinted and have a great deal of energy incorporated into their vibration structure. These thought
and emotional patterns then act as powerful unconscious conditioning factors in our daily lives. It is therefore of the utmost
importance that constructive imprints are made during a psychedelic session. Remaining in control of the attention can ensure
this.
In this regard, I would like to give a few final points of advice. Try not to focus the attention from
one thing to another too quickly. Stay with a thought or meditation process until it is complete. Don’t panic if frightening
visions or hallucinations occur. Fear will make you concentrate on them all the more and thus feed them with the power of
your attention. Remain detached and place your attention on that consciousness within you which is experiencing the hallucinations.
Remember at all times that God exists in you in the form of your own power of attention and that power when properly directed,
will control all lesser forces.
It is believed by some researchers that psychedelic drugs stimulate the secretion
process of the pineal and pituitary glands, which are known by yogis and occultists to be related to the Sahasraram and Agna
chakras (which are also called the Thousand-Petalled Lotus and the Third Eye Center). This stimulation increases the flow
of energy between the etheric body and the physical body. It may be that psychedelic drugs place the cells of the physical
body under stress so that they must speed up their activity to overcome the stress. When the cells increase their activity,
their vibratory rates increase, thus putting them harmonically in resonance with the higher rates of vibration on the subtle
superphysical planes of energy. This process makes possible the expression of a higher level of consciousness through the
glandular system, brain and nervous system.
The increased physical cellular activity requires more work and activity
in the etheric body to sustain the stepped-up activity of the physical body. The vibratory rate of the etheric body is thus
accelerated, requiring an increased activity in the astral body to sustain and remain harmonically in tune with the etheric
body. The increased vibratory rate of the astral body requires a stepped-up activity and increased vibratory rate in the mental
body. This in turn more fully tunes the mental body in to the power, love and wisdom of the soul. Thus an alignment of the
whole being on all planes is facilitated, and a more rapid exchange of pattern imprints and energy between the various octaves
or planes of energy takes place.
It may also be that psychedelic drugs have a chemical structure such that they
are perfectly in resonance with the lower overtones of certain key frequencies in the higher planes and can therefore act
as a point of entry for the reflection of these vibrations in the physical body. They would therefore help to create common
node points in the vibration structure of several different dimensions.
Not only is the love, wisdom and power
of the soul brought to bear in the life of the personality, but the fine organization of the physical body, the etheric, astral
and mental bodies, which have been produced by the evolutionary process, are harmonically reflected and preserved in the soul.
While the physical body is the least permanent, the densest and composed of the substance of the lowest plane, it is in terms
of evolution, the newest and most highly organized in terms of structure. Therefore, a complete replica of it made out of
the energy substance of the subtle planes, is an evolutionary gain for the soul and subtle bodies. When the physical body
is sufficiently vivified by the influx of energy from the higher dimensions, it begins to create higher overtone reflections
of itself in the akasha or energy substance of the higher planes, and thus its pattern is preserved and made immortal.
Therefore, when properly used, psychedelic drugs help to speed up the evolutionary process. When man has evolved
to superman, he will, under the direction of the superconscious mind in accordance with God’s will as it manifests in
evolution, take an active part in the molding and directing of the evolution of the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms.
Even today, his vibrations intimately affect, for good or bad, those kingdoms in nature.
