MessageThanks for sharing. I am glad the space feels safe enough for you to share.
I've been in private communication with both Max and Plato, and I think mutual respect will be fllowing into the playing field of aspiring immortals and buddhas.
To be clear, I am not and never have "attacked" silent meditation, if that was your inference.
But what may be relevant to your posting and this discussion is the alchemical use of a "vessel" to concentrate the essences of all that is experienced. This is called a pearl, or the elixir, or eventually the immortal embryo and immortal child. These are not visiualizations. They are actualizations that occur with sufficinet ability to concentrate the life force.
One purpose of having a spiritual vessel (as opposed to abiding in the vast emptiness of inner space) is to have grounding as one journeys into deeper dimensions. The vessel must be able to hold a sufficiently high vibratory frequency to preserve the inner will in higher/inner dimensions. Just as you would not go on a mountain hike without the right shoes, or on a bike ride without a bike, etc.
You need a strong center to withstand higher "pressures" of other dimensions. You appear to have an openness to seeing those dimensions, but lack the vessel to feel safe to go travelling there. So you need to go slow and stay grounded. Starting with the physical body is right path. You can do the same with Energy Body. Go slow and make that safe.
And yes, the vessel - reflecting the spiritual qualities with its sphericity - is open (i.e. relatively empty) inside, will eventually transmute spontaneously, and is not become a lifelessly fixed ofject of attachment. But the safest way to cultivate this vessel/pearl is to keep it inside the protective space of your body, and cultivate it within.
I hope to hear more from you.
love, chi, blessings,
michael
