DYNAMIC OR ACTIVE MEDITATION

🔊 Listen to Post

As we have already pointed out in some of the previous posts, the walk along with reading, writing and drawing work in a similar way to the different methods and practices of meditation.

Meditation is the technique that uses the generality of mystical sciences and seeks, through its practice, to modify the conscious stage in the person. There are a great variety of methods by means of which one arrives at meditation, all of them are philosophical disciplines that are related to mysticism. Our system allows us to achieve results similar to those obtained through Tai Chi, Yoga, Shaolin Kung Fu, Buddhism and others.

All this great variety of types of meditation, however, we can group -for our purposes- in two categories, the introspective and the concentration, since our system, like some others, covers these two fields of meditation. Yoga is representative of the concentration meditation, while Buddhism is more identified with the introspective type.

Any type of meditation allows us to reach a greater perception, both external and internal, as well as in our particular case, we can increase understanding and acquisition in reading and in literary and artistic creativity.

Although it could be thought that meditation involves only abstraction from reasoning and thought, that is a mistake, since the objective of meditation is also to get a focal attention on some object, aspect or theme, free of emotions and worries. Walking -jointly reading, or writing, or drawing- is a meditation activity that, in our system, does include the function of thought, which causes a high degree of sensitivity of the physical and cultural environment in the subject that executes it surrounds, and a greater creative index regarding the parallel activities that develops during his walk. The application of the WALK-RWD system generates an increase and amplitude in the perception of the individual, who before starting the walk did not have it; state of inner penetration that is generated by releasing awareness of the ties that obscure those mental processes that are related to inspiration, imagination and creativity.

There will be opinions that consider that as long as we have this intermediate level of consciousness, at the same time that we walk, read, write or draw, a deep level of relaxation and diminution of the senses is not reached. There are different levels of rapture when using meditation; the maximum leads to what mystical philosophies call Nirvana, Illumination, etc. Specifically, what we intend is not to reach these degrees of abstraction and loss of consciousness and the senses, but an intermediate level that leads us to creation in any of its forms, related to writing and drawing; achieve what we have described as ecstasy during the walk (See writing: THE ECSTASY IS ACHIEVED DURING THE WALK)

It is true that the maximum degree that is reached through meditation can be the total disappearance of thoughts of the rationalist type (they call it transcendental meditation), however, our purpose is not such; it is convenient to reach the level where we stop having concerns and ideas that distract our attention regarding the interest of reading or writing. There is no discipline or philosophical current that does not consider this last phase of enlightenment as the most important, although there are other intermediate such as achieving good health, both physical and mental, tranquility, happiness, abstracting from material things, relaxation, etc. Specifically, with our WALK-RWD system we seek, on the one hand, to achieve physical and mental health through exercise and relaxation; On the other hand, by reading obtain greater knowledge; and finally, in writing and drawing, artistic creation, what we have called dynamic or active meditation.

When do we know or we realize that we are absorbed or ecstatic in our walk? That moment is when we stop measuring our efforts, wishes and requests with ourselves in the development of the walk: the number of kilometers or miles traveled, the number of hours or minutes, the number of pages read, the number of pages written, etc. In that moment of unconcern, we began to avoid letting ourselves be carried away by time, by distance and by numbers.

I have pointed out on another occasion: Both space, time and number are continuous and infinite magnitudes, and they are pure intuitions. Space and time provide the logical foundations for number, for mathematics, and only under the regulation of these three intuitions can the representation of the remaining things be realized, that is, by means of which phenomena can only be produced. in the human conscience. These 3 magnitudes permanently place us tied to the reasoning and do not allow us to meditate calmly and imperturbably in the objects, without the participation of them. Ernst Cassirer has enough solidity and meaning in his ideas when he assures that access is made to existence -of any condition- by space, time and number. Each factor or entity that constructs itself independently achieves a hypostasis that structurally considers the principles and norms of an entire functional system in which it is immersed.

Let us try to give ourselves an opportunity to withdraw, for a short time, from these 3 magnitudes and experience what happens inside us, in the body and in the mind.

Surely we will experience ecstasy, meditating on what is also truly important to us, and not paying attention to it in the daily life of our existence.

Thus, the fundamental objective of all meditation is to help the individual to develop, deepen and amplify his mental capacity; this process of greater knowledge of reality, and that we have described as an unconsciousness of the mind. This transformation of mental capacity giving greater participation to the unconscious I have described in my book Synchronicity. Predictable phenomenon, EMULISA, 2007 (*).

The ecstasy that is achieved, apart from moving away from the number, of losing consciousness with respect to the passage of time and the loss of understanding of distances and space, generates a kind of insensitivity to our body, because we get to not feel the contact of our feet with the ground, our 5 senses are obscured, because they cross a misty threshold (brumal axis) that seems to stop working, we do not perceive any fatigue, in such a way that it simulates (resembled) that the wind suspends us with he or we are mounted on clouds.

The truth is that the WALK-RWD system introduces us into a semi-unconscious state, and when we wake up from that condition, we realize that we have walked several miles, read several pages of a book or that we have written several pages or a poem.

Let us prepare ourselves to enter that world, achieving dynamic meditation.
