The rules have changed. Meditation was a deliberate attempt to break through into the higher states of consciousness and to finally go completely beyond all of it. The art of meditation was the art of shifting the focus of attention to ever subtler levels, without losing your grip on the levels that were left behind. The final stage of meditation was reached when you had gone beyond all ideas of who you thought you were into the realisation - energetically - that you are simply THAT which is forever here and everywhere. Impersonal BEingness. This final stage still applies. However, this final stage is now the first stage. The energies on this planet have now heightened to such a degree that anyone can now simply come HOME - if one wants to and applies oneself accordingly. There is no comparison to what one had to go through (in the past) to get to the point of realising just who ONE truly IS - to the simplicity and ease of getting to the point of seeing who ONE truly IS today. ...Who you ARE already IS. You can BE who you ARE because you already ARE. You cannot consciously BE who you ARE - even though who you ARE already IS - while you persist in being distracted by who you think you are. Who you think you are is NOT who you ARE. You have to surrender and let go of who you think you are. Then and only then can you be free to BE who you already ARE - the HEART. - Elysha
