European Meditation
What was in a previous post called a “meditation for Europeans”, because it is a meditative mental activity suitable to the European material soul, involves observing one thing, however big or small it is, and analyzing the characteristics and implications of that thing. .For example, observing a tree, and thinking of its roots, the manner in which it takes in water, the cells it is composed of, the genealogy of the tree, its age, the things it has lived through, and so on. Or, observing a parking lot, and thinking of the materials it is made of, how those materials were transported, where they were created, and so on. Or, observing the moon, and thinking of its distance from Earth, its qualities, the fact that certain humans have stood upon it, and so on. This type of meditation is aided by studying the thing that is observed.
Group European Meditation
European meditation can be practiced with others, by observing things together and commenting on various aspects of them. -Care may be taken to ensure that these comments remain on topic, without becoming the topic, unless it is desirable to switch topics, or to analyze the smallest details of a certain thing (i.e, the details that are within details). .European meditation is especially suitable to practice with one’s spouse or other intimate person, and also with one’s children as a form of education.
Inverse Meditation
The inverse of this analytical meditation can only be to reflect on fate in general. Only possible for certain people, who can roll everything in their head into a single zeitgeist, so to speak.
Immaterial Soul Meditation
The immaterial soul meditation is a method to temporarily “recede”, so as to experience only the immaterial soul rather than anything else. See Reincarnation of the Immaterial Soul. It consists of the traditional meditative practice. The eyes are closed, and as many stimuli are removed as possible. Then the practitioner focuses on consciousness itself, until they lose sight of other things. Since the practitioner must be alive, it is not possible for them to entirely lose sight of other things, but this meditation provides the closest approximate experience to existing as a disembodied immaterial soul. Actually, the closest possible experience to this is sleep, but the sleep-state cannot be remembered, while the meditation can. This meditation has been practiced for a long time, which is why it is present in the Indo-European cultures of the east. It is the meditation from which the ideas for other meditative practices developed, except the space meditation.
It is also possible to maintain sensory stimuli, but to try observing them indifferently so as to isolate the immaterial soul.
Unlike in certain Eastern mysticisms, I must point out that this practice does not impart any kind of spiritual power, and it can lead to habitual lethargy if it is practiced too often. It is really to be used as a method of proof, a way of obtaining empirical evidence of the immaterial soul.
Practice Meditation
While not a deliberate meditative practice, I would like to make the assertion that imagining the performance of tasks increases proficiency in those tasks. This is practiced naturally to the extent required for this reason. It is absolutely no replacement for physical practice. However, you must imagine tasks the way that you want them to be carried out. If, for example, you want to give a speech confidently, but you imagine the possibility of failing the task, your “proficiency in failure” increases. Of course, it is still necessary to account for failures. So this is primarily something that concerns “voluntary failures”, failures that can only result from your actions. To speak confidently, to exercise until failure (the good kind), entertain no possibility of failure.
Space Meditation
Space meditation involves the observance of space. Space is something best observed by feeling, rather than seeing. Create spaces between your body parts, such as between your hands or fingers, and observe the distance while closing your eyes. But understand that even within that distance, there are gaseous objects. Therefore you must also imagine the empty space that exists within that distance, connected between the gaseous atoms that exist there.
Then you may expand the awareness, by using the same type of imagination, outside of the space between your body parts, even imagining the space that exists within solid objects. Expand awareness as much as possible, without losing the feeling of connectedness between the space between your body parts and the external space. The meditation could be attempted with the eyes open to aid in this, but for beginners this might be distracting.
Attempting Magic
It is while you have awareness of space that space magic can be attempted, by using the will to reorient the space over which you have awareness, to affect change in the atoms around them. Since all space is connected, your aware-space can be used to affect space that is far away. Although this does dilute the effect of the spell, as compared to casting a spell within your aware-space. .The more space you can be aware of in the space meditation, the more you can affect, the more power you have to affect things, and the more atoms you can displace and reorient according to your will.
Internal Space
You may or may not choose to become aware of the space inside of your own body, rather than or in addition to expanding the awareness of space outward. To do so can be harmful, because it causes you to disturb your internal constitution. The only circumstance in which it may be useful, is for space-spells that are casted internally. I.e, spells meant to change your internal constitution. This way, you have direct awareness and control over the area you wish to affect. However, this will still disturb the constitution of your body in general, even if for the benefit of whatever area you willed to improve. More advisable, in most cases, is simply to use external aware-space to affect change internally, so that only the willed changes to your body are made using external space, rather than any unwilled changes using internal space.
Powers of Space Magic
Initiated Templists have a far greater capacity to generate aware-space. Even more so for the chief priests of temples. Astoundingly more so for the gods. Virtuous people who are alike to gods, i.e, who possess the virtues we mandate, have greater capacity as well, just as we do. The second element is will. Strong willed people are better able to use the space of which they have become aware.
Other Meditations
Some people believe in other meditative practices, like “mindfulness”, but there is no need to ritualize these behaviors. Observing the world around you for the purpose of relaxation is something you can do. That this imparts “health benefits” has little to do with the ritual version of the practice, and more to do with the fact that modern people unnaturally feel the need to look at their phones whenever they are idle. This is not only unhealthy but philosophically injurious, since the world is phenomenological.
