"The question – “What is Enlightenment?” has often been asked during the recent IB posts. Because of the subjective nature of the process of enlightenment, the manifold existing answers or paths to enlightenment remain subjective to varying religious and mystic interpretations. The consciousness-integrated Holistic Relativity provides some illuminating answers. En-lighten-ment literally means the process of becoming lighter or less heavy or lesser mass. This process is also scientifically equivalent to the sponta..."

"Meditation is an exercise that can be both the simplest and the hardest to perform. It is simple in that all you need is yourself. It is the hardest because it requires the discipline to do it. Having a partner really helps; doing meditation with a group makes the experience even easier with the added effect of the creation and exposure to the massive healing energy of the group. Meditation has been compared to self-hypnosis. Guided meditation is very much related to (some feel it is) hypnosis. There are many ta..."

"DE is a way of doing. It is a way of doing everything you do. DE simply means doing whatever you do in the easiest most relaxed way you can manage which is also the quickest and most efficient way, as you will find as you advance in DE. You can start right now tidying up your flat, moving furniture or books, washing dishes, making tea, sorting papers.

"Sometimes we are unable to express our experiences, as we would like. Sometimes words are not enough to describe something that is more of an understanding through feeling than through logic or intellect and we feel handicapped and restricted at times by their use. However, here I have tried to explain and express my experience in the best way I can and at times my writing is symbolic in the way it is written to reflect my understanding of certain things. I ask only that you take out of this article that which reso..."

"Zazen is a particular kind of meditation, unique to Zen, that functions centrally as the very heart of the practice. In fact, Zen Buddhists are generally known as the "meditation Buddhists." Basically, zazen is the study of the self. The great Master Dogen said, "To study the Buddha Way is to study the self, to study the self is to forget the self, and to forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things." To be enlightened by the ten thousand things is to recognize the unity of the self and the te..."

"Here are a range of meditations, both passive and active, created by the noted teacher and master, Anandmurti Gurumaa, through which to transcend the mind and reach the inner haven of peace and joy. Meditation is a scientific way to understand the intricacies of the human mind. It is a way to transcend its periphery and reach the infinite.
