QA from Master meditation practice

 

If Obstructions Occur During Meditation

If you should have any obstructions at home, like you feel some invisible being disturbs you and that you cannot meditate very well, or if you feel restless or agitated, you have two kinds of solutions. You can put on my chanting, music, or teaching tapes, in the background - not at the back of your "ground," but in a low volume in front of you. Never put anything behind you because your attention will be pulled backward and it will be more difficult for you to concentrate in the front. It is not that you cannot do it; it is just not favorable for you. Put the tape, TV, music, everything, in front - whatever you want to hear anytime, even the telephone, fax machine, anything. If you have to sit in an office, face the machine. In case it rings, it will ring in front of you, and doesn't pull your attention backward. That would make it very difficult to pull it back to the front again. And when you listen on the phone, listen with the right ear. Make it a habit; don't listen with the left ear. Everything that pulls the attention to the left or behind you is not advantageous to you. Remember. That is one thing. Another thing is that you can recite the Holy Names loudly for as long as necessary, or an hour every day, until the situation improves.

This is another prevention method for you, if you are fearful, sometimes you feel invisible beings around you or behind you, or if you were possessed before you came to me and you're still fearful. You can put my pictures around you like a circle. You have plenty of pictures; they don't have to be big - just small. It's not the size that counts, it is the person. Even with small pictures, just make a circle around you. The Tibetan tradition of the mandala is a leftover from this kind of practice. They always drew a circle. That was the beginning of it when the teacher taught them to sit in a circle with some of the artifacts that the Master had blessed and given to them for souvenirs. Full of the Master's love and blessing, they just surrounded themselves. Later they got more fanciful. They added all kinds of things - flowers, incense, sand, color, and so forth.

You can do anything else you want as long as you feel good - as long as you feel safe, secure, and protected. Put my pictures around, put flowers as well if you want, incense or whatever, candles also. But don't make too much smoke and then you cough all the time. (Laughter) The incense or smoke from the candles, even though it's romantic and it looks spiritual, many times it can cause irritation. Then you will have a sore throat or some congestion in your chest later. It is a long-term side effect and no good. But if you can tolerate it, it's okay. I don't forbid anything in our practice as long as it makes you feel good. You can even do the beads or recite a rosary, whatever; but then you become too attached to those beads and that habit and you forget to concentrate here. (Master points to Her wisdom eye.) It's difficult to call back again.

Every day we are already attached too much to the outside world. In the morning, we get up, we have to wash our face, clean our teeth, and put on makeup or put on a tie. That is already too materially conscious. In the job, we put our consciousness on money and even when we go home, we still think of money. So, every day we meditate on woman, man, ties, jewelry, make-up, or money already. That's why when we have time for ourselves to meditate, we should put our attention inward. It is not that any master or I, myself, forbid you to do this or do that because we are fanatic, because we are authoritative; it's not true. We should just forget everything else; just concentrate inside the wisdom center. But when you concentrate, you look right in the front.

When you look right to the front, that is physically speaking; actually, when you look with the wisdom eye, it is inside. Besides, we are not inside, we are not outside; we are not anywhere. It is just a matter of speaking so you know how to do it physically. Otherwise, when you close your eyes and shut your ears, everything else is inside. Then you have no contact with the physical world that much. You will be inside and alone with yourself, and then know yourself, realize yourself again - that you are the spirit, that you are God, that you are the Buddha. That is why all the rosaries, beads, etc. at that time will be more detrimental, more obstructing, to our concentration. It's not that it is no good. Everything that reminds you of God is good - a picture, a rosary, a cross, a Buddha statue, anything is welcome. Except when you meditate, it is better to put down everything absolutely, because you are the Buddha, you are the cross, you are God. There is no need for any other reminders.

But the mandala is just to protect you when sometimes some of the people, some rare individuals, fear the invisible beings that disturbed them before and the haunted memories that still disturb them, or they fear the darkness. That is why in the old time, they lit a candle to meditate, so that person did not feel fearful. So, sometimes I advise some of you that you can leave the light on, and that is all right. However, it doesn't mean that we have to do it all the time or everyone has to do it. But then, one learns from another and says, "Oh, I feel good after the candle is on," and all that, and everyone does it. It just becomes a habit. It should not be that way.

When you sit, you should be alone - no need of any artifacts, no need of candles, no need of flowers, no need of incense. Everything is distracting anyhow. The candle flickers, flickers, flickers; the incense smells and, "Ahchu!" (Master pretends to sneeze.) (Laughter.) And you sit there and think, "This is frankincense. I don't like it; I like sandalwood better." (Laughter) You argue with yourself back and forth, and then two hours are gone. Next time, you put some other flower, "Oh, roses! I'm allergic to roses. I prefer chrysanthemums," and blah, blah, blah. Then you spend all your time going out to buy chrysanthemums just because the neighbor told you that when he meditated, he put chrysanthemums and it looked like Master came, it felt so good, he meditated better, and so forth.

Blind faith is a detriment; it is detrimental to your practice. Everything everyone tells you, including my speech, you should prove it. You should analyze it, whether it is logical, before you accept it. I think you accept most of my teachings or all of my teachings because they are logical to you; they don't defy your intelligence. They're in accord with your intelligence, with common sense, with the most logical thinking you can think of, and that's why you accept them. Should they not be logical to you, you are free to deny them, or tell me right to my face, write a letter to me, or whatever, and let me try to explain to you if I can. If not, and if you still don't accept them, then that means you think differently. That is okay. We all have different choices to live our lives and different choices of thinking. That is all right with me, but don't waste your time if you already know it is not for you. And if you're here, try all your best to do it, so that you get the best out of your money, your effort, and your time.

You can also massage your wisdom eye with a little oil, or alone. If it's too dry, then with the oil, it goes smoother. It also helps with the wrinkles in some old persons, like me. (Laughter) I don't do it often; I just do it when I put on make-up. If you have difficulty in concentration, you could massage a little with your thumb or with your fingers up to the wisdom eye, and then you stop right there. (Master points to the area just above and between the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead.) Stop like this, or you just massage it, and then stop afterwards.
