Meditation “What I’ve done with my life” and “What I’ll do with it from now on”

<>
This meditation is less common because it is not a meditation to live a specific state, be it special, high or deep, but it is a way to seek a higher understanding and, even, the Truth, in relation to a certain theme, this being the case “What have I done with my life” and “What will I do with it from now on”.
Through the initial state of Heart Centering or of wholeness in the Self then maintained in the background in which we perform the meditation, we aim to be in a deeper inner perspective, din the higher astral – the supramental sheath (Vijananmaya kosha), the causal body (Anandamaya Kosha) or even the state of wholeness in the individual Supreme Self (Atman).
Such an inner perspective allows us to make new connections, to observe things, realities that would not have been visible otherwise.

The finer the body we become aware of, the closer we get to the Truth and move away from Illusion and unconsciousness. Thus even the state of genius and wisdom is possible (for example).
This meditation gives us exceptional results even if we perform it only as a simple reflection on the mental level on the theme, even without a background state more particular than the usual one for us, because we will be able to draw exceptional conclusions by reflecting carefully in an unusual way and with an unusual theme, but very necessary for us.

This meditation is carried out with writing tools nearby that we can use to write down some conclusions written in as few words as possible and with a secondary focus on the action of writing as superficial as possible (so as not to leave the deep state).

Writing down conclusions frees our mind to reflect further, and we need it because accumulating more conclusions in our mind not written down on a support keeps us in the mind and raises difficulties in reflecting more deeply.
These annotations are necessary because we will not benefit from the inner perspective that we have during this meditation all the time.

Finally, it is good to write down a series of ideas that will constitute our benchmarks in relation to what we want to change or achieve from here on out.

By setting a series of benchmarks regarding what we have understood and what we want to achieve next, by drawing a Great Plan of our becoming, we will be able to follow the various stages and aspects along the “road of life” when we will no longer be animated at every moment by the wise perspective of our aspiration in relation to what we have to do.

MEDITATION “WHAT HAVE I DONE WITH MY LIFE”

1. First we achieve consecration and, after receiving the answer (which is not mandatory to occur – in which case we must stop) we continue to pursue a state of detachment because a strong desire to refrain from spectacular results would lead us a lot into the ego and can even cancel the results.
The first 2 minutes – telepathic reporting to the nondualistic spiritual masters, the teacher and the spiritual group of Abheda yogis.

It is achieved, as much as possible, in the highest possible state, after a stage of relating to the Supreme Atman Self or centering in the Heart, seeking to maintain ourselves mainly at the level of the causal plane or, at least, supramentally.

We can ask, for this meditation, the help of God, of Jesus Christ, Shiva, of a Great Divine Power, of an Archangel, of the Coordinating Angels of spiritual becoming and the help of the Guardian Angel of spiritual evolution or the Guardian Angel, depending especially on our affinities and aspirations.

It represents a wise retrospective of our lives so far, punctuated by the most important events – truly – for us (not those that “the world” usually considers important).
This retrospective is carried out from a spiritual perspective and within the framework of what we consider to be, more or more unclear for us, our spiritual mission in this life and is carried out in an applicative way to draw some concrete practical conclusions for “What we will do from now on with our lives”.

It is known that “If we offer God (and/or inner transformation and perfection and external spiritual purpose) the first place, the rest will come (spontaneously and, often, without even asking for more) on top”.
So in the second part we will only fix and meditate on the clear conclusions that we specified in the first part of the meditation.

Fundamental coordinates in the meditation “What have I done with my life”:
– if we have understood and started to act for the fulfillment of the purpose of our existence or fundamental purpose;
– love, in general, and love as a couple, in particular; whether we have offered love and whether we have been able to receive love when life has given us the opportunity to do so; if we have learned to love from a distance (when necessary), if we have learned detachment in love and if we have managed to transcend the embarrassing custom that we could only love one person at a time;
– the meaning of life as a process of inner perfection – especially through the successful “graduation” of spiritual tests;

– the way we related to the Spiritual Path;
– who have been for us, until now, the real spiritual masters, whom we have felt in our souls, if we have found our Spiritual Path and the right master, and, if this has happened, if we have grasped the importance of this fundamental event;

– how we received guidance, warnings, support – from the “Spirit of the World” or God and how we made them fruitful;

– if we have forgiven, forgiveness not meaning being in close relations with that person but the lack of any need for us to receive compensation from that person or in relation to that person – basically the disappearance of a karmic connection with that person;

– how much we have developed and paid attention to what really matters and which constitute eternal values and how much we have detached ourselves (without having to deny it) from what is fleeting;

– what talents we have received in this existence, if we have multiplied and used them with humility for the fulfillment of our mission or we have just taken advantage of some gifts and that’s it;

– if we have felt that “work is love brought to light” or we have felt that work is an embarrassing chore that we are forced to offer as a value for the money received;
– if and how we have learned from our mistakes and from the mistakes of others;

– if we have learned detachment from the fruits of actions and reconciliation with what we cannot or should not try to change;

– if we have managed to feel that we are performing our actions for the sake of God, for God, in God – that is, if we have managed to live one of the highest perspectives of karma yoga;

– if we have been and/or are prepared to lose (if this were to happen, for various reasons, our life) at any time “everything”;

– if, looking back at our life, we find that we have done, in an acceptable way, what we felt was wise or we have followed our soul compulsions as if in a trance;

– if we had vices and how we related to them;

– if and how we have honored the investments received: that of man or woman, that of lover or girlfriend, that of parent or protector, boss, teacher, artist, assistant, worker and others;

– whether we have helped and have been helped and how we have related to this help received or given; if we have debts of any kind and how do we intend to pay them back;

– if we have lived life with intensity, as if we were and are ready to “die” at any moment (not in the sense of a “kami-kaze” willingness to sacrifice, but in the sense of a wise life that does not leave what is important for later, for a time that will most often never come);

– in the hypothetical situation in which we would have to leave the physical body, that is, to “die” right now – if we knew what to do in such a special moment – the yoga of the definitive abandonment of the physical body

<>

– what are our strengths – and which ones we are going to use to the fullest and what are the weaknesses, where we should aim to “strengthen”;
– if we lived the same life again, what would we do the same and what would we seek to change.

After we have done this, if necessary, we write down very briefly other main ideas that can help us from here on out and then
move on to the second part – “What will I do, from now on, with my life”, setting a series of benchmarks in relation to what we will do next. Basically, this second part of the meditation is, in fact, a recapitulation, synthesis and fixation of the concrete perspective that we are going to apply from now on in our lives.

Significant maxims regarding the implementation of a wise perspective on life:

” He who does not know
is not stupid, but he who knows acts as if he did not know”

“Knowing and not acting is a great cowardice”

“To err is human, but to persist in error is – either foolish or demonic.”

Full success in this meditation and fundamental retrospective!
