Road to Peak Meditation Experiences (eBook)

Preface

Most everyone has seen Dancing with the Stars. (If you haven’t: Imagine ordinary people in a glitzy ballroom, partner-dancing with celebrities in a televised competition.) Now, close your eyes and visualize your favorite couple dancing in the cosmos—in deep space—and make them much larger than life. Position the stars and planets in the distant background. Feel the magic of the moment and the spaciousness of the celestial surroundings as the dancers pivot and swirl. Enjoy their every movement as they interact playfully with each other, the heavens, and the universe.

Were you able to visualize it? Did the experience affect your sensations and fill you with wonder? If so, you have witnessed the power of your imagination—your mind’s eye—the window to your connection with a world that lies beyond the tactile reality of the here and now. If you were able to use your imagination to visualize the cosmic dancers, then you have the power to learn the techniques that will enable you to have Peak Meditation Experiences.

You have also created a beautiful memory that will be stored forever in your Existence Consciousness. Existence Consciousness (EC) is the universal database for everything that has ever happened, an infinite field of pure awareness. According to ancient wisdom traditions like Hinduism and Taoism, EC is the “first cause,” or the primordial field from which we, and all things—including the universe itself—have emerged. Picture it as a pool of organic intelligence, of natural understanding (like the earth spontaneously regenerating itself)—the fertile crescent of all being.

Through fields of study that speculate about the nature of conscious experience—like virtual reality and simulation theory—the scientific community has begun in recent decades to recognize what the ancients have known for millennia As noted by Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist: “Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.”

Everything that is conscious—all beings (whether animal, vegetable, mineral, or a combination of these)—is continuously making decisions and choices, having experiences, thoughts, emotions, actions, reactions, intentions, manifestations, and memories—which collectively comprise a state of being. And the quality of that state of being is recorded in the database of Existence Consciousness in real time, all the time.

You might say that consciousness, at its core, is really just information—and you would be right, but EC is a bit more complex. As a repository of all experience, EC is deceptive in its simplicity—simultaneously one thing and all things ever experienced. EC is information compounded by awareness, ultimately equaling knowledge. We will find that this consciousness is vast and varied, subtle and many splendored. And if we can achieve a state sufficiently unguarded and quiet to experience it, our awareness of and connection to EC will lay the foundation for the evolution of our own personal consciousness.

EC exists for our individual benefit as well as for the benefit of the universe as a whole. We each have our own database derived from our connection to EC: a Micro Unit of Existence Consciousness (MUOEC), which contains our own discrete experiential information—the qualities of our states of being—intermingled with the universal consciousness of which we are a part. Our MUOEC resides in the larger EC, and it comprises our “share” of the communal “stock” in the universal commodity that is EC. EC wants you to invest in your MUOEC and use it as a resource, both to develop the bank of potentiality of the larger EC as well as to expand your own reality—to reap the rewards of your contributions. EC’s organic intelligence can teach you how to develop the skills to gain mastery over your MUOEC and form a practice that will lay the foundation for the evolution of your consciousness.

Think of a person from the Stone Age making marks on the wall of their cave representing every night they have slept there. When they get to a certain number, they see the marks as a grouping or a set, and cross them off the wall by drawing a diagonal line through them. Our ancestors began to learn the language of mathematics from simple activities like these. Although primitive in its inception in the consciousness of humanity, mathematics is and always has been sophisticated, elegant, and precise—and is now one of the most advanced ways human beings communicate—thanks to the connection of humanity’s MUOEC to EC.

We have evolved to the point where EC wants us to use the language of consciousness, a means of communication far more conceptual than our present language. Often conveyed via metaphor, this language enables us to expand our awareness and understand a world that is normally beyond our comprehension.

The language of consciousness takes many forms, some of which reside in the domain of the paranormal—phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance—that are typically beyond the scope of our fact-based understanding. That does not mean they will not one day become “normal”; however, what it does mean is that the scientific community cannot yet provide empirical evidence to explain them. But that day may soon arrive!

Let’s return to our cave person for a moment: As their day came to a close in their fire-warmed cavern, they had no idea that those lines on the wall—chronicling the sun’s rising and falling and its perfect embodiment of math—would one day become E = mc2. Einstein’s famous equation opened up a completely new dimension of theoretical physics. So much knowledge was conveyed with one little formula. His discovery—the theory of special relativity—became a metaphor for a whole new way of thinking. It is also the perfect example of learning the language of EC—our entrée to the evolution of our consciousness and our reality.

You might be asking: If Einstein was able to access EC, why can’t I? The good news is that you most certainly can. EC can be reached through the Peak Meditation Experience (PME). I have developed a system of achieving PMEs that will guide you to your personal relationship with EC, the holy grail of consciousness. You will find that EC is benevolent and accessible; it wants to help you. When you begin to ask the big questions of life, like Who am I? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of all of this? What happens after I die?, you will draw greater attention from EC, for these musings demonstrate a desire to expand your consciousness. EC will recognize your willingness and assist you in finding your path, creating a connection that will allow you to learn in line with your present ability, or “being level”—your MUOEC.

EC guided Einstein to his equation, and it will give each of us an “equation” suited to our personal evolution, if only we open ourselves to it. In searching the cosmos for abstract answers to abstract questions, Einstein asked EC for help every day of his life—and look what it did for the world! Can you imagine what he knew at his deepest level of being through his lifelong communication with EC? Can you fathom what the world would be like with millions more of us possessing our own personal E = mc2 metaphors that reveal a whole new reality—that will in turn help others to discover a path to their own metaphors?

EC will evolve if you evolve. You are a creator, and you are creating both your reality and your experiences within that reality. You are also part of EC’s comprehensive reality: If you develop and enhance the quality of your consciousness, EC grows in proportion to your expansion; if you devolve through fear and negative behavior in this life or others, EC will be diminished as well.

You can think of EC as the algorithm calculating all elements of the universe in real time, like a simulation or a virtual reality. It instantly responds to the thoughts, desires, intentions, and needs of every conscious thing, in the very moment in which they transpire. EC logs all events, and through its algorithm, it programs all outcomes for each and every MUOEC. It will give each of us what we appear to want based on our actions, respecting our free will and making no judgments. When it cannot give us what we want because we are not ready or receptive, EC will provide a lesson to further prepare us and help us along the path toward higher consciousness.

EC is love and creativity at its core, and these are the attributes it most wants us to develop. It makes no difference if you believe in God, are affiliated with a religion, are an atheist or an agnostic—beliefs are subordinate to the development of your consciousness and will likely improve, strengthen, or perhaps even change as you evolve. Any path to the mastery of your MUOEC is okay with EC, but you must suspend judgment and be open to considering other paths, ideas, and perspectives.

Our primary goal in practicing the PME system is overcoming fear and discovering ourselves and our relationship to EC. Fear exists in us because we live in a world motivated by the need to survive, and humans have become really good at surviving. As a result, we are almost continuously in a heightened state of alert, and this opens the floodgates to fear and fearful behaviors—causing stress, anger, depression, and anxiety—all courtesy of our finely tuned fight-or-flight circuitry. The PME system will dial down this activity and reduce the deleterious symptoms of fear in your everyday life. Once we...
