“You’re on a journey. Going beyond the body. Beyond name, beyond form, beyond activity.”

As you sit in meditation, the first thing you will experience as you close your eyes is a voidness, a darkness. Look into your eyelids as if looking with your eyelids open. Meditation is an activity. Close your eyes and feel and see that place that is beyond name, form, and color. Close your eyes and experience meditation as an activity. It is a journey, a movement. From the dualistic to the nondualistic. No confusion, no form, no color.

The eyelids are closed. Sound just penetrates through your ears. You are moving in another dimension beyond the body. Thoughts may arise. Let them be. Let them pass by. Go beyond the body. Keep looking with your eyelids closed, going deeper and deeper, leaving form, name, color, and activities far behind you . Go beyond the body. “In this place there is no fear. The heights are soared beyond the stars.” In this far away place beyond the body, in this sacred place, the self awaits.

Experience the motion of going, as if driving in a car, and you’ll be going deeper and deeper – beyond the body, beyond the senses. In this place there is no fear. No one to touch you. You’re to touch no one, except the paramatma.

As you go deeper and deeper with your eyes closed in this dark place, you may see the swirling of smoke. Gray and blue colors. You may see violets and reds and greens and yellows. You may see purple. You may see silvery flashes of light-all helping you go deeper and deeper. Beyond the body, beyond the mind, beyond the senses. Beyond pain, beyond pleasures. Keep going further and further as if you’re sitting in a car. All the colors are coming to you. Look out of your eyelids. Look straight in front with your eyelids closed. You’re going, you’re moving.

Keep the face serene. Chin up. Meditation is an activity. To keep you alert in meditation, take a deep breath. As soon as you see color vibrations flickering in the darkness, you know you’re getting closer. All the colors that you will see will be smoke-like colors. Those smoke-like colors are just the beginning. Colors will swirl and change pattern. They rise with each breath. Keep breathing steady. Let the thoughts come and let them go. You’re on a journey. Going beyond the body. Beyond name, beyond form, beyond activity
