Meditation is a process whereby the practice of meditation techniques results in the erasure of the Ego, which results in psychological insights and spiritual knowledge, resulting in a temporary or permanent increase in personal self-awareness.
Since there are several types of meditation, we will not compare them in this case, nor will we describe the meditation technique that we use ourselves. Those who want to learn this can do so from the spiritual researcher and healer Ljubiša Stojanović, and in this text we will talk about things that are equally important for spiritual development, as well as about the meditation technique itself.
Visualization Ability: An Advantage or a Disadvantage
Many readers will be pleased to know that the ability to visualize - or clear imagine, is not at all necessary for successful spiritual development, and is often an obstacle to spiritual development. This is due to the fact that people who belong to the visual types most often use their abilities to achieve the goals of the Ego: collecting material goods, moving up the pyramid of power in society, increasing personal power, achieving dominance over people, achieving parapsychological abilities, and the like.
In cases where a person - along with a highly developed ability to imagine, has a low level of Developmental Consciousness of the Soul, he almost always develops into a Psychokinetic Energy Vampire - a creature capable of seriously and even fatally injuring another person.
Obviously, the main drawback of visualization is that by imagining you increase and strengthen the Mental Ego, and when you add to this process "filling the image with emotional energy and sensory sensations", you further strengthen the Emotional and Life Ego. Things do not change for the better even if instead of "the first million dollars" you imagine yourself achieving Enlightenment, because the very act of imagination and filling the picture with emotions and sensations, throws you back forever to the level of practical magic of the Ego.
This does not mean that achieving positive Ego goals through visualization is wrong, but we will only note that visualization should not be confused with the process of spiritual development, that we are talking about in this text.
In contrast, auditory and kinesthetic types are more sensitive and emotional, and many of them are empaths, especially kinesthetic types, which means that they maintain a connection with their own Soul, so for them, meditation is a natural continuation of this connection. In addition, it is much easier for them to fulfill another important condition: “Do nothing during meditation”, because the Ego must always do something.
If they act in a negative way, they usually do so as Unconscious Energy Vampires, because they are emotionally sensitive, so they are easily hurt, which over time creates a certain fear towards other people. Therefore, when establishing relationships, they can be cautious and distrustful, fearing that they will be hurt and subjected to suffering again. This attitude in the interlocutor can cause nervousness, anger and a more aggressive attitude towards them after some time, which hurts the sensitive person, leading them to conclude: “Well, I knew he/she would hurt me too,” so they leave the relationship forever.
As a result of such a reaction, the interlocutor may feel some emotional pain, but the pain is usually small, since the break occurs at the stage of acquaintance, as a result of which a deeper energetic connection is absent.
All that we have said is only general remarks and does not need to be confirmed in relation to each person. If any of the readers used the described or any other conscious or unconscious methods of energy vampirism during life, he will stop doing this when, due to the action of Soul meditation, his Ego loses the position of dominant consciousness.
Insincerity, Cunning, Lie
envy, hatred, revenge, malice, meanness, greed… these are just some of the obstacles that we have already spoken about in one of the previous texts.
Then why do we mention them in this regard?
The reason is that practicing meditation and in the same time strengthening these qualities of the Ego, leads to nothing. The technique of meditation itself is not a magic wand that will transform us, as in a fairy tale, for a moment from a state of ignorance, to a state of full knowledge of the Universe. It is the highest instrument that shows us what hinders us in spiritual development, but it depends only on us whether we allow it to remove this obstacle.
Faced with this decision, many - instead of changing themselves, decide on a simpler solution: change the meditation, because it seems to them that something is wrong with it, and start the whole story from the beginning.
The thrue is that not every meditation technique will suit you, but on the other hand, their number is not infinite. Meditation technique is a tool, and changes depend on us.
By Practicing Meditation, You Lose Everything
Many will be disappointed when they realize that they gain nothing by the practice of meditation, but lose everything they have, because everything you have and everything you have achieved in life does not belong to you, but to your Ego, because this is the way it tries to understand who it is and what it is. Since the process of spiritual development is based on the erasure of the Ego through meditation, by erasing that part of the Ego with which you have identified, you lose interest in everything that part of the Ego already possessed and achieved.
The very cessation of identification with it spontaneously increases the level of your self-awareness - which is not perceived as an acquisition, because the feeling of acquisition-loss occurs exclusively in the Ego, and over time you will only become aware that your level of understanding of yourself, other people and phenomena in the world has increased. And that's all.
As we have already said, it is not you who erases the Ego, but your Soul through meditation. However, do not feel superfluous, because the whole process is entirely up to you, because Soul Meditation will not erase those parts of the Ego with which you do not want to stop identifying.
For example, if you consider that smoking is harmful to your health and you would like to quit, but do not know how, the Soul will automatically erase the part of the Ego that is responsible for this habit. During this process, you will be pleasantly surprised, because you will not be subject to any withdrawal crises, but you will feel as if someone conscientiously turned off the switch in your head responsible for smoking.
It's simple, isn't it?
If, on the other hand, you do not want to quit smoking, during or after meditation you will understand by one type of inner insight that this is a necessary step in your further spiritual development. Now it depends on you and your Free Will whether you decide to quit smoking. If the decision is positive, it will be fulfilled by the Soul only if it is sincere, and before it is erased, its activity can be doubled, which is not worth worrying about, because this is a kind of form of its "swan song".
If you do not want to do this, then the Soul will not force you to change in any way, but your spiritual development will be stopped until further notice, because it depends on how sincerely you accept the initiatives that come to you, through insights. If you are not quite sure what insight is and how to recognize it, we will explain it by comparing it to a thought.
The thought is usually clear and immediately intrusive, its duration and frequency of occurrence are variable, it is always accompanied by an emotion of a certain strength, it is mostly directed at someone or something and undoubtedly, arises from the head.
On the contrary, the insights appears softly and imperceptibly in your consciousness, so that you feel as if it has always been a part of you, it is not accompanied by emotions, but seems to consist mostly of spiritual energy of love, it is completely diffused - since it fills the entire aura, it is stable like a mountain, and filled with the feeling that the message it carries is true.
Insights can come in several forms: as personal knowledge that guides you in life, as developmental knowledge that helps you understand yourself, as information that brings with it data and knowledge that you would not otherwise have access to… and so on.
Depending on what sensory type you are, insights may come in the form of visions, a voice giving you information, or thought content filling your consciousness.
Existential Fear
Existential fear is one of the main fears of every person and the most common cause of stress, so when you erase this part of the Ego during meditation, both, your existential fear and the need to work will disappear. Since all the changes that occur are gradual, this process will occur over several years, in several phases.
First, instead of working 8-12 hours a day, you will switch to a part-time job or one that you do when it suits you. Then, after a while, you will find yourself in a situation where you do not have to work for a certain period of time, because your current financial situation and life circumstances allow you to do so. Once this phase passes, every thought of work and its obligations will become alien to you, so you will spontaneously decide to stop working forever.
Many will think that this is great and that you can finally indulge in laziness, but this is not entirely true. Namely, this phase of spiritual development usually comes after the phases of "Unbinding from Relationship" and "Acceptance what You Experience", which means that you are now alone in the world, and that you no longer feel the need to fight with life, so your next step is the phase of "Indulgence" to the guidance of the Soul.
Don't get me wrong - you are not indulgence to someone else's hostile and malicious consciousness, but to a part of your own being whose degree of benevolence, love and wisdom is incomparable, to what you felt when led by your Ego.
The Indulgence phase brings with it a number of changes, one of which may be living in poverty and homelessness. It is important to say that this change in life circumstances is not perceived as stress or trauma, but despite the difficult psychological living conditions, you will feel as if you were living in an apartment of 100 square meters, with a regular income.
"What's the secret?" you ask.
The secret is that Soul meditation has erased your Existential Ego, with which you had previously identified, so with its disappearance, your existential fear has disappeared. How you will live further depends on the direction in which your spiritual development will move: you can live the rest of your life as a beggar and homeless, or you can live alone in the mountains, do healing in an urban environment, give lectures on spirituality, do charity work, work on publishing spiritual literature ... so that the conditions of your life are adapted to this activities.
One thing is important: your existential fear is gone forever, and henceforth it will not be an obstacle on the Path.
The Purpose of Meditation
After some time of practicing meditation, there will be no need to address your Soul with requests for meditation and self-healing, and now meditations will begin by themselves “according to the plan and program”, fully adapted to your spiritual level. When you feel a surge of energy in the Parietal chakra (during meditation, you can sometimes feel it in some other chakras), this is a sign that meditation has already begun, so sit down, close your eyes and let it act. Remember that during the meditation itself, you are in the role of a disinterested present and any thought about your more active participation “for the purpose of its improvement and acceleration” will weaken it, because this is a sure sign of the Ego’s interference.
During the meditation itself, there are three consciousnesses present: You, your Ego and the Soul meditation, where all three are active simultaneously. Usually the loudest is the Ego with its emotional chatter like: “He’s going to tell me that I don’t know anything about football – hey, hey!”, “I finally managed to get rid of the annoying Ego”, “I’m doing very well in meditation”… and so on, but as soon as you realize that you are drawn into its monologue, slowly move away from it and take the position of a disinterested present.
The Ego will continue to chatter without you, the Soul meditation with its healing and developmental effect, and you will enjoy the feeling of calm and clarity that fills you.
This will last for some time, after which the Ego will again draw you into another thought-emotional monologue, but do not be angry with it for this. Namely, in each person the Ego is the dominant consciousness, while the impulses of the Soul only rarely manage to break through to your consciousness, because the Ego is a consciousness that attaches itself to you like a tick - to Developmental Consciousness of the Soul, to draw the necessary energy. When the Soul through meditation breaks this connection and annuls the dominance of its consciousness over yours, it still remains in the aura, to a greater or lesser extent it still acts on you, but already as the second violin in the orchestra.
By origin, you are a part of your Soul, and therefore you are incapable of any negative reaction, but everything bad in you comes from low developed consciousness, negative life situations and identification with the Ego 1️⃣, so anger at the Ego, will actually be anger at the very same Ego itself.
Materialization of the Soul
Since the Ego itself is not unique - it is made up of several smaller Egos, each of which is an obstacle to spiritual development, Soul Meditation erases that part of the Ego which it has your permission to be erased.
The Soul is a consciousness woven from a large number of positive energies, and despite the fact that it can move and act to a certain level on the Lower Planes, its consciousness is rooted in the Spiritual Plane, where there is no time or space, and where everything that exists, exists in unity. We act on three lower planes of consciousness: Mental, Emotional and Physical, and all the qualities and capabilities of our Soul, which we are aware of on the Physical Plane as part of our own consciousness, we have materialized “for all time” not only on the Lower, but also on the Spiritual planes.
In order to remember ourselves and our connection with own Soul, the necessary condition for success in this is a healthy, functional and impenetrable aura, cleared of the presence of Ego energies.
The obstacle to this goal is our Ego, which understands that this will also be the end of its existence. Unlike us, who are immortal consciousness, Ego is mortal, its duration is limited to one incarnation and this consciousness is limited in developmently-cognitive capabilities, so it tries to prolong its life in all possible ways.
It arises as a by-product of the constant action of the three bodies/auric layers: the Mental, the Emotional and the Life body/auric layers, which are created so that through the principle of duality of the world and the phenomena in it we can react, gain experience and remember who we really are. Every physical stimulus, emotional reaction or thought sent out is a reaction of these three bodies, which spreads out from our brain in the form of a spherical energy wave. Considering that the main feature of the Physical Plane is materialization, a part of this sent energy-consciousness is constantly materializing and increasing, and upon reaching a certain level of energy saturation, it realizes itself as a separate, unique and independent being - the patch of Ego is born.
But, unlike us, Ego does not have an established connection with the source of positive energy: the Soul, in order to survive, it must provide itself with additional energy, which it does in three ways:
>> steals it from us, by our identification with it
>> steals it from other people, through psychological manipulation and abuse
>> increases it by collecting power in all its manifestations
Considering that the energies of the Ego are much coarser than the energies of our Developmental Consciousness of the Soul, it attains full consciousness on the Physical Plane long before us, which leads to us identifying with it, submitting to its guidance and feeding it with our energy. Therefore, its removal is a necessary condition for further advancement in development of consciousness.
By gradually erasing your Ego, all the power that you have accumulated throughout your life will leave you - in whatever form it was. You will become empty and unimportant: a consciousness without self-importance and pride, no one and nothing.
When you spontaneously enter into a state of complete purification from the Ego, a state of cosmic peace, you will experience Enlightenment.

P.S.
When the Soul takes over the direction of your spiritual development, you lose the sense of being focused on a specific goal, because you were goal-oriented when you were being directed by your Ego. A goal-oriented focus on the experience of Enlightenment would be an activity of the Ego, which in this case would only change its scope of action and now would be striving for a spiritual goal, instead of a material one. When you being directed by the Soul, you become goalless, because you no longer live in a relationship between the past and the future, but are rooted in the present most of the time, so that instead of pursuing Ego goals, you are now only manifesting yourself.
This is why expressions such as “advancement in spiritual development,” “you will experience Enlightenment,” and the like, do not have specific aim, but it's an attempt to clarify some areas of spirituality, despite the shortcomings of the written word.
This text should not be considered as a kind of "mandatory instruction" intended for spiritual development, because it does not mention all the phases that occur during its action, given that their appearance may differ from one person to another. This difference is due to the already achieved level of self-awareness of the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul of each person, but also to the purification of his karma.
So, our intention with this text was to give everyone who is thinking of entering the path of spiritual development, as well as those who are already on it, the opportunity to get a general overview of how it will proceed.
1️⃣ also due to a low level of consciousness, the influence of Negative Consciousness on you, emotional trauma...
