Top The Dark Side Of Meditation

The Dark Side Of Meditation is people who do not prepare properly.

One of the main problems most people encounter is the reactions from friends and family.

Sometimes it is positive and sometimes it is very nasty.

When you start Meditating and especially if (when) you start having amazing experiences, you may feel the need to tell your friends or family.

In most cases, these people will be happy for you - even if they may be a bit (or a lot) skeptical.

However, it is also just as possible that you will encounter people who are diametrically opposed to what you are doing - for a variety of reasons. (see General List General List below)

This is Why You do your own research?

I call these negative people "The Satanists" because everything which does not fit into their extremely narrow ideology is from satan.

Yet when you ask then what the word "satan" actually means, they never know because IF they did know what it means, they would not use that word.

FYI: Google AI and other AI programs are only HALF right in their wiki interpretations.

This is why you need to do your own research so that negative people do not bother or suppress you.

Build your knowledge on rock solid information and not on shifting sand ideological misinformation. This way when you encounter a siesmic truth event, your brain will not liquify (as often happens).

Some of these people "may be" extremely vitriolic in their attacks on you, and I mean extremely vitriolic.

These personal attacks or earthquakes of negativity (if you like) can seriously undermine your confidence and I ask you to view these as "tests".

  1. (worth watching)

So please be careful with whom you speak about your experiences. If you find people who are negative towards you, regardless of whom they are, may I suggest that you simply avoid them and Your life will be so much better.

I stopped associating with people who told me that "I could NOT do this or that" and others who did the "satan" talk when I told them about meditation.

Leave them to live in darkness and you lead by example. If they are even half smart, they will notice that you have benefited from your and become a calmer and more confident person - and then let them (first) ask you questions.

Avoid people who will drag you down, rather seek those who will inspire you and lift you up.

Remember This.

IF your "friend" is nasty to others, one day they will be nasty to you.

This applies to both Meditation and "Water Fasting".

General List

I have found over the years that the average person is motivated by either:

  • Greed
  • Jealousy
  • Nastiness
  • Ignorance
  • Low intelligence
  • Religious ignorance
  • Mis-information - including doctors either by deign or design
  • And then there are the Conniving Manipulators: They desire to manipulate and control others - by slavery and fear (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and now medical).
Conniving Manipulators.

But the worst of these people are the uneducated or lowly educated ones who like to "invent BS" to try and seem like they are "All Knowing". These are the most dangerous of all.

Ignorant and stupid people are just that, ignorant and stupid. However, Conniving people have far reaching negative implications, especially for the way that they emotionally manipulate people - including you.

Can or Can't or Did Already?

Personal Experience.

Sometimes I would find that when I started talking about some "experiences" I had whilst Meditating, with people who were in various Meditation groups with me, I would often be told "Oh, You Can't Do That".

Which actually shocked me because I had already done "it".

Simple mental exercises like "Astral traveling" were viciously denounced by people in my group(s) - and to this day I do not understand why?

Other simple experiences I had, like feeling parts of my body getting warmer or colder, feeling your arms or legs getting lighter or heavier etc.

What these people were telling me in their own nasty way was that THEY could not do it (because they were afraid to try).

When you encounter these people, please just walk away and leave them alone in their darkness.

All I ask is that you be careful please.

Nasty people have just been programmed wrong and it is NOT your job (or life mission) to change their minds, trust me, you will become burnt out trying to educate these people. I speak from personal experience.

Simply let them find their own "truth" in their own "time" - and this way you can continue to progress to higher levels without being dragged down like a ships anchor.

Not everybody agrees or understands meditation.

I often used to advise my students to carefully discuss their experiences with friends and especially with family and relatives.

When your family members attack you it hurts much more - regardless of however well intentioned they think they are.

I have seen so many "students" come to lessons crying or calling me when they are upset because of vitriolic attacks by friends or relatives.

I no longer offer personal lessons or classes mainly because of the above and also, these days, I have had too many people who want me to take selfies of them while they are meditating so that they can show their friends.

I feel like I am talking to an empty vessel. In Japan, these people are referred to as Capsicum heads.

The higher benefits of meditation come about through focus and control - not selfies and ego which are distractions.


Top How To Avoid These Problems

If ...

If you want to talk to people about your experiences, try people in your own group like . Find someone who is OPEN MINDED and discuss "the Theory" of your experience with them.

* Ask your teacher to have an "Open Experience Discussion" after each meditation "session". This helps remove any stigmas that often occur when some people are more spiritually advanced than others.

This way - if they turn nasty - you can always say that it was a Hypothetical question or a WHAT IF scenario you were talking about.

This way they may also learn from you just as much as you may learn from them.

Plus the most important thing is that you are with people who will (usually) not call you crazy when you explain that your had some kind of "Out-Of-Body" or natural mind expanding experience.


Top What's Your Level?

What is your spiritual level during this "incarnation"?

There are 2 main types of "levels" that exist in Human form.

  • 1 is Hidden
  • 1 is Revealed

You may think that this is "logical" but to many people, the "Hidden" aspect does not exist because they cannot "see" it. In other words, it is intangible.

Ask them, "is it because it is intangible that you do not believe it?"

IF they say, "Yes". Ask then to describe "Love" or "Fear" or any other emotion. Of course, this will "always be different" because of because.

Next ask them to describe the color "BLUE" or Red or Green or Yellow etc.

These are only "tangible" because you can see them, BUT you cannot describe them. (normally)

Love per se is revealed yet it is also hidden.

Colors are revealed but they undefinable if you are describing them to someone who is blind.


Top Blind But Can See

Many years ago, one of my ex-girlfriends had a sister who was blind. Marian taught me that you cannot "see" love but you can feel "Love". She said that from talking with people, that they "saw" Love as a "basic" one way or 2 way street. She said that what people did not "see" was that Love can be expanded.

This was almost 30 years before BioPhotons BioPhotons became a "thing".

I finally understood this with my wife. Even after 20 years of marriage, when she smiles at me I get still butterflies inside.

Marian also taught me that through her meditation, she was able to see the Chakra colors and was thus fully conversant with colors.

Marian also taught me that people rely on their eyesight too much and thus they miss out on the "invisible" - but very real - world that is all around them and full of life.

If you have a "Hidden" level, then even an ascended Master may have trouble seeing it. Hidden levels are usually reserved for the "Righteous" who live among us.

Revealed levels are the most common and apply to most people.

However ...

However, even if you have a Revealed Level, then it does not automatically apply that your "teacher" can see your level and is in a position to guide you properly.

Many "teachers" teach from money and that is as far as they can see.

A world that becomes visible once you release yourself from the mundane world. ... and NO, you do not need to harm yourself.


Top Most Important

It is critically important that you REMEMBER that people are on different "levels" (like steps) and that NOT all people are on the same level.

Different levels It is critically important that you REMEMBER that people are on different "levels" (like steps) and that NOT everyone is on the same level. Different levels

This means that any experience you personally have does not automatically mean that everyone else will have this experience - and vice-versa.

This may sound nasty but I can assure you that when your friends or family attack you for whatever reason, you will "then" understand what I am talking about.


Top The Lighthouse Analogy

Why do people always try and stop others from being successful?

One of my Indian teachers gave me this analogy.

He said that this analogy may apply to many different situations.

He said, "Many people live in darkness and only come out at night - they see a Lighthouse and think ooooh if only I could get some of that light.

So they gather around the base of the Lighthouse and they try and steal some of the bricks around the base of the lighthouse, thinking that now, they have some light from the Lighthouse."

The real problem here he said, "is that these people will Undermine you, if you let them and they will cause you to crash".

He said that "This is Not ''tall poppy syndrome'' but rather more like Troglodyte syndrome".

Many people are like troglodytes and are happy to live in darkness - and then when you show them "any amount of light" (or something different) they quickly run back into their caves and hide.

Sadly I have found this to be true on too many occasions during my lifetime.


Top What To Do

What do you do when you meet these people?

Personally I have "nothing" to do with these people. No matter what they have to offer me or what they are selling, I simply disassociate myself from them completely (even some family members).

For example, my father and grandmother both wrote me out of their Wills because I wanted to go to strange countries and study weird "stuff" like meditation. This was their way of trying to stop me from traveling. Both had lived through WWII and they both felt that the world was a more dangerous place than most people realized.

Most people will not make such a sacrifice - but for me, I was never interested in money except to get from point A to point B. You learn a LOT more when you live "on the streets" when you travel - compared to living in hotels.


There is a saying I learnt from my "Sales & Marketing" training and this is that "some sales are not worth the sale".

In other words - there is (or will be) too many problems associated with that person.

The same principle can be applied to people you know.

Many people do not want you to succeed because THEY do not want to try. I do not have time for such people.

TIP ↟↟

1 major warning sign is that many of these problem people often start talking and balking about money and price.

Your Choice ↟↟

Ultimately what you do is your own choice. I am simply offering you some of my life experiences to hopefully help you avoid the many "potholes" in the "road less travelled" that I have experienced over the years.
