Summary First…
I am going strong but it’s getting deep. Let’s start in the middle and go reverse to the beginning and end up at the end or wherever... Invert and twist the circle, if you know what I mean.
This morning I woke up at 6 am without an alarm and it’s been months and months since I have naturally felt like meditating but today I did.
I sat down cross legged on a comfortable sofa, adjusted my posture and just allowed things to be. No special attention on breathing, not trying to remove thoughts, only allowing things to be… and again awesomeness happened. I went very deep for about 40 mins. No alarms, bells or whistles. No agenda when to come out. Thoughts and images 30 years old appeared. I just let them be, I contemplated how they made me feel and where necessary forgave myself for what I did.
The mind is like a fathomless ocean. For some reason, fasting seems to open that ocean up and we can consciously peek in. I am thinking that may be meditating at the very first instant of waking up might be a good thing because at that time you are not still fully awake and dream state has still some power and that this power can be utilized fruitfully.

I also meditated this afternoon using a technique given by Yogani in the book “Deep Meditation”. Pure sapphire, another immersive session.
I also now do realize why it is so hard to give any kind of explanation of what happens.
While the mind is submerged, there is a tendency not to form memories that are easy to access later. Things are very in the moment.
You have unique, personal experiences that words do not suffice or even express. Like trying to describe sweetness to someone who never had it or Japan to someone who had never seen any photos, heard its language or met its people.
You really only have one option and that is to do it. Convincing people, well that’s another problem. They try it once or twice, go nowhere and decide its all nonsense.
Well I can tell you here and now, it isn’t.
And then in the evening, I attended two lecture/sat-sang’s via the Internet.

One, with Swami Sarvasthananda who is the Minister-in-Charge of the Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre, UK. I have avoided him for months but yesterday I took a chance on intuition and he was wonderful. There is much to learn here.

And the other, with Fred Davis, a spiritual teacher based in North Carolina, USA. You won’t waste money with him, so if you like what he says, I suggest you have a go. He has a unique style and is unlike many of the “Guru’s” out there. I have tried many and this one is a genuine character!
I have also been reading rather voraciously and I will recommend three more books:
Falling for the Truth by Howdie Mickoski
Addicted to Distraction by Bruce G Charlton
Not even trying… by Bruce G Charlton
The first will help you on any Spiritual Quest. The second will help you understand how Mass Media is Enslaving you and yes, I know we all think we are immune or know that it’s bad already, but this gets philosophically and psychologically deep in a very few short pages. It’s worth the effort. The third, will shake a little of your Faith in Real Science as it is done today. It will loosen those shackles and your subservience to false authorities. The rest is best left unsaid…
I had another gentle cycle. I have the idea of at least 3 books in my mind. Work is difficult in the pandemic and I suffer like every other entrepreneur, worker, father or mother out there.
That’s all folks,
The Vikid Truth
