The technique or practice used in order to raise one up from a mundane to a cosmic status. It is the means of going within oneself and reversing oneself on the wheel of birth and death and, in due time, spinning off of the wheel and becoming liberated. This is done by raising the body up to a state of purification and this is not easy, or an overnight process. This calls for a dedication and devotion that is second to none that one, in their trek through life, has ever encountered, or will ever encounter in the future. One is entitled to this privilege only because their karma decrees it; in other words, they have earned the right to come to Transcendental Meditation. Yet again, they may not have earned the right to continue through in this life. However, whatever progress they have made they will not lose.
When one starts the regular practice of meditation, one sets up a high vibration in the nervous system and this starts the un-stressing in the body and in the mind. The nervous system is so sensitive that anything of an unnatural nature that impinges itself upon the nervous system impacts the nervous system and lowers the vibration in the body. As more and more things are thrown against the system, more and more it is impacted. Then, when one starts to meditate, one enjoys the good karma one has accumulated. However, when this runs out, be it in a day or in a couple of years, the un-stressing starts. This may be just uncomfortable, or it may be extreme and nearly unbearable. Whatever the case may be, it has to be handled individually and not by rote.
It is like playing a tape, for whatever is on the tape will play out until it is finished no matter what is on the tape. Then, when one tape is finished another one starts, etc. It is true that if one was a thief and they started to meditate they would for some time be a better thief until this proclivity was burned out. It is no different than a child who is caked with mud and is being bathed and scrubbed. He doesn’t care for the bath or the scrubbing, but it is the end result that counts.
The path to spirituality is not an easy path as most expect it to be because the nervous system, which is the key, has to be purified. For most of us this is not easy or pleasant. But, if one has his sight on the goal, one will go through whatever is necessary in order to reach the goal.
It is the human that is a unit of energy, a transmitting station for solar fire - a radiation that stems from the heart of the sun which evolves all living things that come in contact with it. In the human, who is the highest expression of God on earth, it is the vagus, or tenth cranial nerve that is the most receptive to this solar fire or energy, the spiritual fire coming down, the fire of the macrocosm. This fire energizes humans and uses them to express the qualities of love and wisdom. There also is a fire by friction in the center of the earth called the kundalini fire. The human is the focal point of these two fires or forces which play through him and activate his seven centers of light. The kundalini is a negatively charged energy which is activated by the positively charged energy, the spiritual fire, which is located in the central spiritual sun.
It is said that at a propitious time kundalini hears the call of her mate and rises from her cave in the base of the human spine to meet him. The kundalini fire is aroused as a final step in one’s spiritual development, and it can only travel up a clear, pure channel, activating the chakras as it goes. While this is happening, the latent powers within one are also coming into full expression in a natural way. It is the way that one through many rebirths, and now rapidly through meditation, moves from mortality to immortality.
We are now entering the Age of Aquarius, an age which will feature group expression, group meditation, an age of spirituality, an age of spiritual science, etc. The Age of Aquarius will also be the age of preparation for what will become in the Age of Capricorn a time when an enormous amount of humanity will be ready and will come to meditation and will meditate in large groups regularly. This will be possible because most of humanity will have good karma, minus much of the bad karma and adharma that so much of humanity now has. This bad karma keeps them from entering onto the spiritual path, and if they do approach the path, in a short time they do fall away. Maharishi has always stated. “They fall away because they do not have the good karma to continue meditation.” Also, this is what is meant by, “Many are called, but few are chosen.”
All that has been in manifestation in the Piscean Age is now in the process of disappearing, or at least changing, for the Aquarian Age is now here. It is bringing in group relationships, group service, group sharing and love for fellow beings. Also, now scientific ways of simplifying and improving the life of humanity will be super-stupendous. Those who are incapable of contributing to the new way of life will disappear from the Earth, and this means world-wide. Criminals and dissolute persons are now in the close of their activity. So, they either change or vanish, and most will vanish. “Heaven on earth” means just that. Armies, navies, police forces no longer will be organizations of necessity and they will disappear. Those who will lead the way will be the spiritual souls, and not the politicians and greedy persons of evil intent. Lawyers, for the most part, will also disappear. People of the New Age will automatically live in accordance with a higher law and will not need someone to find them the loop holes of escape from justice.
Higher souls will bring in higher souls. The deserts will truly blossom. And, space will become our second home. There will be no hunger and drought, since the deeds and thoughts of people produce these conditions, and that karma no longer will exist. People will share and live in abundance. Things will be so easily produced and in such abundance by robots, etc., that no one will struggle for the necessities of life. The Government will be by the people, of the people and for the people, and for the most part, out of people's personal business. There will be the United States of the Americas, the United States of Europe, and the United States of Asia. There will come in the near future a new method of almost instantly imparting knowledge of any subject to a person, along with the fact that most people will be very intelligent to start with.
People will have an international code number and will be reached by wrist phone anywhere on earth and in space. People will live in a park-like setting in beautiful surroundings with everything available for pleasure and for health. And, people will enjoy each other’s company. Women’s equal rights will be fully established since humans will understand karma and reincarnation and the alternating of sex, from life to life, when it is necessary to maintain a balance. As a result, women, by their own free will, will return to the home as wives and mothers since there is a special reward on the ‘other side’ for all mothers. Man and wife will live much closer together and enjoy each other’s company since they will be nearly perfectly matched, and they will see themselves mirrored in each other. Karmic marriages will be over - emphasis will be on spirituality and not on sex and self-advantage or selfishness.
Since it is much easier to live in a high positive atmosphere than in poverty and want in a negative atmosphere, there is no limit as to what will be developed to make life easier and happier. People will be beamed from one place to another as the human cannot envision anything that he cannot materialize. The human, once in a mindless state, lived in the Garden of Eden, and he is now, with a highly developed mind, again returning to Eden for a 2,000 year stay. Trains are now running at great speed without wheels and in the near future cars will be running the same way; very fast, very quiet and very safe. Very brilliant children will be commonplace and the attention of people will be on God instead of on sports and on war. When people live in the love and grace of God, they live in beauty, youth, luxury, bliss and in good health. They no longer live to eat, but they eat to live.
The super-mental being will realize the harmony of his individual self with the cosmic self, of his individual will and action with the cosmic will and action. In this state one has no ego. One becomes a finely tuned instrument of God.
