The first type of remembrance is of the nature of the Soul. To perform
this technique, raise the eyes gently to look at the point between
the eyebrows. Your attention will follow a golden pathway, which traces
the Souls development on the GCC. At the deepest level of this
meditation, you will feel the bliss of your Soul.
The second type of remembrance is of the Souls calling. This
type of remembrance is a more advanced technique. Once you have gained
union with the bliss of the Soul, you turn your gaze downward towards
the tip of your nose (closest to the mouth). This will carry your
attention across the unconscious mind. At the depth of this meditation,
you will become aware of the seed of your Soul Purpose.
The third type of passive remembrance is of your Spirit. Here you
focus your attention in the area of your breastbone, in the hollow
place in the center of your chest. Your attention will be drawn into
a channel of energy. First you will become aware of your physical
heart, then your ego, then your Self, then your spirit.
The fourth type is active remembrance of your spirit. Here you use
a contemplative mantra to focus your attention on a particular octave
of the spiritual paths. This method is called simran or zhikir.
The fifth type of remembrance brings up earlier and earlier and earlier
experiences from the unconscious reservoir and recollects past incarnations.
Ultimately, the meditation discovers the thread of the evolving Soul
in each life and encounters its essence as the true being within.
You can reliably access this unconscious reservoir by using process
meditation.
The sixth type of remembrance is called faith. Faith apprehends a
transcendent reality and forms a conduit with the Other Reality for
prayer, dialogue and receipt of guidance and blessings. This sacred
belief is applied in different ways depending on the tradition.
