Beautifully Broken
Beautifully Broken There are times when we need to break to find the light inside to shine like never before. Doctors' office and my hopes are high to get cleared to return to work. Weeks of passing out like those fainting goats. Seizures and bruises. Fear, panic, and those who care for me, watching helplessly as I go through something horrific. Iv drips, heart monitors, medications, catheterized, bed restrictions and feeling as if I was leaving this world.

Maximum Meditation
The world that we live in is a stream of projected five sense information that is observed by consciousness. We call it a world of sense-perception, but only intellectual perception, nonetheless. In maximum meditation, the goal is to get consciousness off the current information stream while still remaining conscious of your present personage. You want to abandon the information stream and be in personage as you explore other options. The information stream that is used to produce the illusion of a material self and world is a hard read. What I mean by “hard read” is that it is chock-full of information and streaming at an incredible speed. The analysis, combination, and projection of the information are so demanding that the observer (you) is practically locked into place like an astronaut under G-forces in a rocket to the Moon. Sleep is necessary to get consciousness offline for a break from the hard read. In maximum meditation, we want to get offline but we don’t want to lose self-consciousness. In order to kick start the process, we reduce as much of the information we’re processing as possible. This reduction starts to eliminate the projection of the illusion and frees up the consciousness to observe other things that the mind is doing, call up things from memory to relive, or to just be in the solitude of being without any mind play being observed at all.
