The seven valuable steps of meditation
Excerpt from, - "Meditation from Clear Sight"
From -Billy- Eduard Albert Meier
In general, every form of meditation is in a certain way a means towards a neutral-positive way of living as well as the fulfillment of the Creational laws and recommendations, whereby especially seven meditative steps are of great importance and these can be learned in a meditative way. The meditative way can either be – as mentioned – taken by means of each meditation form, however as well in everyday life, namely by consciously maintaining thoughts and feelings to develop these seven steps and let these become reality, these steps should be strived for and are arranged as follows.
1) Positive thinking
Positive thoughts come from the result of the recognition that everything is both negative as well as positive and because of that forms a perfect unity. In this way everything can be seen efficiently and therefore be used specifically as a support to develop thoughts and shape our lives in a Creational lawful way. This also counts especially in respect to going through life with attentiveness, being virtuous, with perseverance and patience, as well as trusting in one's own personality and that its strength and rationality are cultivated; joy and humour should as well be granted its necessary place. Life is to be taken as it is, whereby always the best should be made of it, along with everything which needs be left or done, what needs to be left or done which cannot be delayed. Behind all appearance we must gratefully recognize the reality and the truthful fullness/richness of life. Love, peace, freedom, harmony and positive-neutral balance must be excellencies held in high regard in relation to all things, as well as the protection of all life, humaneness and the fulfillment of all Creational laws to the best of our abilities.
2) Positive feelings
Feelings arise in every case and thus without exception from preceding thoughts. Therefore feelings take shape in accordance to the nature of thoughts – be it in a negative or positive manner. Important with regard to success, progress and development are solely and exclusively positive thoughts and feelings, through which at all times the cooperating negative within them is usefully used and processed towards the positive-equalized and thereby as well towards corresponding positive feelings. The way to positive feelings leads via positive thoughts in a way that everything is taken as it basically is, meaning without it all being battered, hated, slandered or condemned and so forth. This as well applies to all human beings who in any manner first of all should be accepted as they are. The whole thing specifically requires and open-minded, honest and effective integrity towards one's own virtuous, because only by doing so one recognizes one's own truthful worthiness and for that matter the fullness of the feelings can be lived in honesty. This all requires, that life - and all which it accounts for – should always be observed, however not be condemned. This applies as well to the fellow human beings, who have to be accepted as they are, without evaluating them and out of that stick a label on them or condemn/judge them. That, however can only happen, when solely and exclusively the other is viewed as a human being and precisely therefor, we let the rightful lovingly unfold. Through the right thoughts, right feelings are as well created, which the fellow human being intuitively views as such when these do now not condemn him/her per his/her possible wrong doings.
3) Positive willpower
Positive willpower lays in the willingness to learn and the willingness to understand as well as in the motivation and the initiative, which precedes it all. All in all however apologies and forgiveness in relation to one's self as well as towards the fellow human being are of importance, especially when the right thing must be done. When the willpower is used to do something which specifically needs to be done, then this can only happen when no thoughts and feeling related obstacles are standing in the way; when there is nothing that needs to be dealt with, which still requires an unsettled apology or pardon. An essential condition for the utilisation of positive willpower is also to listen to what life demands, and to gain the necessary insights out of that, to draw the right conclusions and to make the right decisions, and to then let it all come to fruition by applying positive willpower. Thus it is important to establish one's own positive willpower and by doing so fulfilling one's own will, which is opposed to and therefore never can be the will of some higher power a God or another human being. One's own positive willpower stands above all wills of all other human beings and powers, when the human being is now conscious of this and cultivates and safeguards the freedom of his/her own will with this strength.
4) Positive way/manner of speaking
A positive manner of speaking lays therein, that one expresses oneself through words clearly and explicitly. A positive manner of speaking can both be learned through a proper meditation, as well as consciously in everyday life through the cultivation of appropriate thoughts and feelings. As a matter of fact, the feelings arising from the thoughts do play a certain role as these determine the emphasis of the manner of speaking. A positive manner of speaking implies that words are spoken clearly and explicitly and that their meaning is precisely chosen so that no misunderstandings occur. A positive manner of speaking as well rests upon the fact that no word inflation comes about, but rather that words and phrases in an appropriate manner - without a torrent of words - are formed in such a way that their effect is self-explanatory and unmistakable. No word inflation does not mean that something simply needs to be said in a short and conclusive way, because the rule proves, that from this a diffuse and unclear message arises. So, therefore logically a positive manner of speaking does not involve an extensive torrent of words, rather succinct words and phrases, which are accurate and explanatory and do not leave behind any imperfections.
A positive manner of speaking as well involves, that never unasked advice is given and no entrusted secrets etc. are retold. At the same time this also includes remaining silent, which one needs to give heed, for example when it concerns confidential matters. Honesty in word and deed as well belong to the positive manner of speaking, along with offering "gifts" of words, be it associated with joy, happiness, sorrow or grief, encouragement, to cheer up, as consolation, gratitude or blessing.
5) Positive way/manner of behavior
In the positive manner of behavior the whole of life is included, so also the nature, the human being, the fauna the flora and all which exists. The positive manner of behaviour demands consideration as well as sensitivity and a thoughtful attitude from the human being towards the fellow human being and all life and existence, namely in a loving, helpful and productive-constructive manner. On the whole it also includes perseverance, thoughtfulness, trustworthiness, and furthermore the independence related to expectations from other human beings. A positive manner of behavior calls for self-confidence and self-responsibility along with, always being fully aware of the fact what – with the assistance of the inner guidance - needs to be taken care of and needs to be done, and knowing the right moment when it needs to be done. At the same time it includes the act of give-and-take in the right way, as well as the measure of one's own nutrition, the treatment of the fellow human being as well as respecting joyfulness, freedom and harmony, peace and loving one ́s self and the fellow human beings.
6) Positive form of consciousness
A positive form of consciousness arises from the recognition of the effective truth and reality. This state of consciousness encloses harmony, love and peace, along with modesty, joy, happiness and freedom, from which all the high values of being a true human being are formed and therefrom ultimately evolution comes about. Regularly going into meditative quietness as well as taking the time to learn, to ponder on things and building up high values in oneself are necessities which should not be neglected. The positive form of consciousness requires that the whole life is oriented towards the highest and fulfilling the meaning of life, which consists in the conscious evolution of consciousness. It as well means, consciously-presently living a meaningful life within the framework of the Creational laws and recommendations.
7) Positive way of living
A positive way of living means, to live a life in accordance with the Creative-natural and Creative-spiritual laws and recommendations. In this light the human being will be able to go through life in a carefree and calm manner and in the recognition, that he/she alone decides over his/her wellbeing and the weal and woe of his/her existence, no matter what is brought upon him/her. Through the control of one's consciousness, one's thoughts and feelings as well as the state of one's psyche the human being decides himself/herself the way of positive living. He/she himself/herself decides his/her inner freedom and inner peace, his/her inner harmony and joy, even when bad things from the outside are brought upon him/her. So the human being alone determines over the harmonious relationship to himself/herself, the cultivation of his/her love and all things which rejoice him/her. Even when put in chains, the human being can nonetheless be free and still cultivate and maintain love as well as peace and harmony, because the positive way of living is an attitude towards life, which determines the how, the what and who the human being is.
The positive way of living determines the existence of the human being, as well as the fact that he/she likes to live, that however in addition he/she at any time is prepared to go when his/her life comes to an end. The positive way of living as well requires that the human being as long as he/she lives allows reason to prevail, is at any time a good example to him or herself, that he/she takes care of his/her body and his/her life, takes care of his/her health and that his/her whole existence is based on the true meaning of life, as well as to know and respect oneself.
