The document discusses unity in duality through meditation and contemplation. It explores how focusing internally and releasing ego/archetypes allows one to connect to a collective consciousness. Meditation is described as inwardly focusing the mind to experience periods without thoughts and connect to the unmanifest reality. Contemplation analyzes states of mind by concentrating on an object to understand experiences on infinite and finite levels. The document provides examples of how scientific concepts can explain meditations, and suggests meditation allows experiencing life with greater harmony by integrating outer and inner awareness.
2. uncovering the Alchemist's Stone concealed within the individual's True
Self. By recognizing that this complacency over time displays itself as the
individual ego, which is the illusion of an individual's outer-self, rather
than the individual's inner collective self, as defined by Dr. Carl Gustav
Jung, the contemplative Freemason becomes more internally focused and
mindful. Becoming more internally focused and mindful, the Freemason
studying the inner or contemplative path finds greater harmony and
balance in his consciousness. In other words, he becomes more the master
of his own consciousness, enabling him to understand the symbols and
lectures of Freemasonry with greater clarity.
An important lecture on the study of archetypes and their cause and effect on
consciousness was from the Spiritual Master from India, Maher Baba. Maher
Baba, taught that the phenomenal or exterior world is an illusion, that the
universe is a holographic creation or mirror of the soul, and that each person's
soul (Oversoul) is really a reflection of God, passing through the universe
realizing its divine Self. In this way there is a collective consciousness making
the entire universe a conscious entity. And in the author's opinion, in light of
the research of Max Planck, Louis De Broglie, and the more recent research of
Paul A. LaViolette's subquantum kinetics, this may in fact be the supreme
being religions refer to when speaking of God as Deity.
In the 1930s through 1950s Maher Baba, wrote several Discourses, with a focus
on the search for truth and spiritual advancement. The following excerpt comes
from “Mastery of Consciousness, An Introduction and Guide to Practical
Mysticism and Methods of Spiritual Development", compiled and edited by
Allan Y. Cohen. Impressions, [termed archetypes by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung], are
the contents of consciousness, one’s accumulated thoughts, feelings and
sensations, like layers of dust on a perfect mirror. Human beings do not have
self-illumination because their consciousness is shrouded in the accumulated
imprinting of past experiences. Accumulated imprints, is the "will-to-be-
conscious" with which evolution started and succeeded in creating consciousness
from birth. But it does not arrive at the knowledge of the Oversoul; because the
individual soul is impelled to use consciousness for experiencing these
accumulated imprints, instead of utilizing it for experiencing its own True
Nature as the Oversoul. The Oversoul, is that which is the transcendent,
infinite and eternal consciousness.
3. Maher Baba states, "The power and effect of accumulated imprints or
archetypes that make up the individual's outer-self, can hardly be overstated. An
archetype is solidified Might, and its inertness makes it immobile and durable
concealing the individual True Self.… The mind contains many heterogeneous
archetypes and, while seeking expression in consciousness, they often clash with
other archetypes because they are not a part of the collective self - the Self that
exists in humanity in unity. The clash of archetypes is experienced in
consciousness as a mental conflict… Experience can become truly harmonious
and integral only when consciousness is emancipated from these archetypes…
The problem of de-conditioning the mind through their removal is therefore
extremely important. And for the individual who studies the symbols of
Freemasonry the archetypes of the outer-self "Ego" is emancipated from these
conflicts through meditation and contemplation. This de-conditioning process,
the release from binding archetypes, takes place in five ways.
(1) First, is the cessation of new impressions. This consists in putting an end to
the ever-renewing activity of creating fresh impressions. If the formation of
impressions is compared to the winding of a string around a stick, this step
amounts to the cessation of the further winding of the string.
(2) Second, is the wearing out of old impressions. If impressions are withheld
from expressing themselves in action and experience, they are gradually worn
out. In an analogy of the string, this process is comparable to the wearing out of
the string…
(3) The Third cessation, is unwinding past impressions. This process consists in
annulling past impressions by mentally revisiting the process which leads to their
formation. Continuing our analogy, it is like unwinding the string.
(4) The fourth cessation, is the dispersion and exhaustion of some impressions.
If the psychic energy which is locked up in impressions is subliminated and
diverted into other channels, they are dispersed and heaved and tend to
disappear.
(5) The fifth cessation, is the wiping out of impressions. Completely
annihilating impressions. In the analogy of the string, this is comparable to
cutting the string with a pair of scissors. The final wiping out of impressions
can be effected only by the grace of a master through initiation and lessons,
which includes experience in a practicum of meditation and contemplation."
What then is Meditation? What Is Contemplation?
Meditation is an inward outward movement between our outer surface levels of
consciousness and our inner deeper levels of consciousness. As there is a most
4. outward physical reality of life there is also a most inward reality of life. The
physical (manifest) and inward (unmanifest) realities of life exist simultaneously
and are present in all life everywhere. A “knowing” that these two realities in life
exist simultaneously while understanding how they complement each other
brings about a greater awareness that liberates us from the confines of
experiencing only the finite, physical manifest reality of life. As a result of this
liberation one experiences more balance, harmony, and wholeness in life.
When meditating alert and in a waking state of consciousness, the conscious
mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking. During meditation, thoughts
are realized and released to make way for new thoughts that occur randomly as a
result of memories or impressions collected in the mind associated with the
surface finite manifest reality of life. Releasing thoughts that surface randomly
without concentrating or analyzing them during mediation eventually quiets the
mind and it becomes calm. As the mind becomes more calm there are moments
when it realizes there are periods of no thoughts. As more thoughts are released
and the mind experiences and becomes more aware of the times when there is no
thought, the mind becomes more aware of its inward (unmanifest) reality of life
and realizes its True Infinite Self.
For some the experience is unsettling at first because having only consciously
experienced the awareness of the outward or manifest reality of life, the mind is
only programmed and imprinted to experience life relative to the emotions
caused by the memories or impressions attached to the finite outward physical
reality of life. While alert and awake during meditation, as the mind experiences
no thoughts during meditation, one experiences the unmanifest reality as a
vacuum of silence that is timeless. Experiencing this vacuum of silence, one
experiences the Inner True Self, the individual's collective consciousness, at
One with the universe.
As the conscious mind experiences the unmanifest reality of life, it's
consciousness increases in potential and results in increased energy and
awareness. Meditation may be defined as turning attention inwards towards the
subtler levels of thought until the mind transcends the experience of thought
associated with the physical reality arriving at the source of one's thoughts. This
experience expands the conscious mind and at the same time brings the mind in
contact with an awareness that integrates the outer and inner realities of life.
5. There are many different types of meditations used for many purposes. The one
described in this Introductory is the one taught by Patanjali as the foundation of
all meditations.
Contemplation is that which is experienced consciously and then reflected upon
with both the absolute and finite conscious mind. When we contemplate we
analyze certain states of mind by concentrating upon an object. The object
creates an impression causing certain feelings or emotions. We contemplate by
reason and the experience draws forth understanding using both infinite and
finite conscious thought as a reference.
Meditation 1
"Tao gives birth to one.
One gives birth to two.
Two gives birth to three.
Three gives birth to ten thousand things.
Ten thousand things find harmony by combining the forces of
positive and negative…"
One can explain this meditation using axioms of science.
"A force on a charged particle moving with velocity creates induction and
therefore becomes inverted from a direct current to an alternating current. A
direct current applied to a coil creates an alternating current causing an
induction or magnetic flux density".
The aphorism is thus:
“F” (Tao) is force or “Cause”
“qv” (Giving Birth) is a charged particle moving with velocity
“B” (Giving Birth to Two) is magnetic induction
“F=qv x B (Ten Thousand Things) = Magnetic Inversion (Creation)
"Electromagnetic potential that exists in all of life through alternating currents.
Ten thousand things find harmony,
By combining the forces of positive and negative,
there is "Unity In Duality".
Through the science of today we know that we live in a universe where there is
symmetry in life not necessarily intersecting as Euclidian plane geometry would
explain it. (Explain the traditional theory of E=MC2, and Fibrnmocci), By this
I mean that there is more to life than what we experience or witness with our
6. physical senses. And there seems to be an underlying “cause” or pre-manifest
existence that we could also experience daily if we look toward a greater
understanding of our inner-selves. Unfortunately however, humanity's greatest
strength become its greatest doom. Obsessed with attachments to the physical
world, we doom ourselves to endless suffering. The great challenge for the
Freemason on the inner or contemplative path therefore, is to become more
aware of this cause or purpose that integrates our consciousness so that we
experience life with greater quality, harmony, balance and wholeness. As all of us
live on different paths of consciousness in a quantum rather than linear universe,
there are many ways or methods to accomplish this integration. One path or
method used by one Freemason may not be suitable or useful to another. But we
can be certain that with an integration of both our outer and inner levels of
awareness there is greater understanding in life. We seem to become our own
greatest obstacle and we doom ourselves by our own works. Yes, it is through
our own actions that we doom ourselves to endless suffering. Yet, as we follow
our path of integration we live in this hope that we will indeed return to our
Spiritual home. Any redemption we receive from our actions comes not through
our works but rather through a higher awareness working through us living in
peace and reconciliation with all of life.
