  • Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
  • A meditative exercise for creating awareness and pulling attention away from associative thinking. Focusing attention on breath and the physical body. This meditation is for all levels of students practicing for spiritual, health, or stress purposes.
    Those that have studied the Fourth Way material (P.D. Ouspensky, George I. Gurdjieff, et al.) will likely find this exercise incredibly beneficial. This exercise is best done as soon as one rises out of bed. Once the awareness is created in us at the beginning of the day... how long will it last, and will we be able to see when we lose it?

    After some research on the exercises that gurdjieff would teach his pupils, his meditations for self remembering were slightly different. For example, in the evening, some pupils were asked to count backward by 2 numbers from the number 10. You would observe your day as you did this. This made it possible to remember yourself without bias, essentially seeing yourself as others see you. Every one of his pupils had different exercises, as he thought not one exercise was universal. Just thought I'd mention that!

    Meditation is not about trying to "stop your thoughts" or "push them away." As thoughts arise simply bring your focus back to the meditation. That is it. No fight necessary.

      Lennon, what is meditation to you? What is its process and what is its function?

    • @fntime
      @fntime 5 лет назад +2

      Lennon, for me meditation is 'stopping your thoughts'
      When you stop thinking completely, awareness will remain.
      This for me is a method to 'patch in' to reality.
      Not like a thunderclap, but after sleeping often a
      understanding about almost 'everything'.
      Stopping thought is not easy, took long time to accomplish.
      But in the end you'll experience something different
      I also found you must meditate at least an 1 hr a day.
      It takes almost 20-30 minutes to quiet your mind
      and direct yourself to non thought. :)

      There are steps and depth to meditation. If you were truly a master of yourself, youd be able to stop thoughts. This is almost impossible to do for a long periods of time. Modern meditation is sort of a gateway to it, but most people stop there. Its a gateway to thought awareness. "Noticing" you drifted off, aka, thinking, you "bringing" it back to the breath, trying to be in the present. If you are truly in the present, your mind is still, with no thoughts. "Power of Now" is an example of this exact state

    I went through a similar meditation (group called heartfullness). It feels good to do it for 30 minutes after entire day of work. They suggested to try it in the morning, but I guess it would change me as a person so drastically that I will let go many of my responsibilities.

    When you are in the 3rd eye, feel the ME-NESS there.
    That is you.
    Don't feel an energy, don't be aware of the outside world.
    Feel your ME-NESS in the forehead.
    Merge with it, gently and lovingly.
    More and more.
    ( And do not go into the crown )

    What do you mean Fourth Way. Gurdjieff explained to Ouspensky that the Fourth Way is at a level higher than the Way of the yogi - ISOM page 48. And that the Way begins only when the last threshold on the Stairway has been crossed - ISOM page 201. There is no way logically that this can be the Fourth Way. We are all at too low a level.

    Try to push a thought away. And that thought will be there a million fold times stronger and won't let go of you. Do not push a thought away.
    Just let it be. And see that it is a thought only. When you are in the present exact moment, there cannot be any other way that what it is exactly at the moment. But if your thought tells you another story, then you know it is only past memory or imagination and cannot be real cos what is real is the present exact moment which you can never know but can only be experienced.

    This is not fourth way type of meditation. If you can start by always be aware of your right hand and left foot no matter what you do all day from when you wake up until you go to sleep then that is the first step or the fourth way meditation. You need to learn to split your attention to be able to be aware of being aware no matter what you are doing.
