Why We Meditate

One of the first questions asked of us as followers of Universal Transcendence is, "Why do you meditate?" The answer goes beyond the medical model of meditation as a tool for relaxation and stress reduction. Indeed, that is the first thing to be learned when beginning to meditate, but for us, it is a stepping stone to accessing other realms where information about the nature of the Universe, other dimensions, or sephirot, if you prefer, comes to us. This requires the ability to open oneself to the energies without becoming vulnerable to negative forces that may try to push their way in. For this reason, even the more advanced practitioner of experiential meditation needs to "put up protection" in the form of White Light or Violet Flame every time meditation is undertaken. Experiential meditation helps the person to understand that indeed, there is something greater in the Universe than only himself or herself. One cannot pass through portals from one dimension to another, and see the beauty there, and not be changed to the core. One cannot see a great ladder rising into the heavens and not wonder what else can be seen. Beyond experiential meditation, there is the ability to use meditation for the purpose of healing, protecting, cleansing and so forth. My personal preference is to use one of the 72 Names of God, from a book by the same name, written by Yehuda Berg. The power of these names to achieve miracles is well known. I highly recommend meditating on these names for the purpose of helping bring greater Light into the world, and achieving a point of strength and balance in oneself.
May you be richly blessed!
