meditation is a gateway to different levels of consciousness
like the electron in the double slit experiment, it is only when consciously observed that the subconscious reveals its “form”
whether you call it meditation or silent prayer , the simple act of sitting with your breath and watching your thoughts will open up the labyrinth of your own mind.
the subconscious remains elusive and formless until the conscious mind decides to confront it head it on
in the stillness, we begin to notice the things that usually get lost in the noise of everyday life. the thoughts that keep returning, the emotions we struggle to explain, the fears we bury and the beliefs we carry without ever questioning where they came from.
perhaps this is where meditation begins to reveal its true purpose. not necessarily to silence the mind, but to understand it. to sit with ourselves long enough to see what is happening beneath the surface, without immediately trying to escape it, change it or give it a name.
what we avoid looking at is exactly what we need to understand. and what we begin to understand we can finally begin to confront.
whether through meditation, silent prayer or simply allowing ourselves a moment of stillness, we create the space for the conscious mind to turn inward and observe what has always been there, just beyond our awareness.
the journey into consciousness is not about becoming something new, but about becoming aware of what has been shaping us all along.
Meditation literally increases the spectrum of visible light you are able to process.
Not as in seeing other colors or wavelengths like infrared or UV.
But it makes you see the midtones between colours more clearly and vibrant.
Imagine it as on a number line where every single natural number represents a color.
But after meditation you are able to dive into the endless depths of the decimal between full numbers or colors in our case.
You don't add more numbers to the line, but what you perceive becomes more rich and vibrant.
You can try this out for yourself.
