Attempting to Achieve Higher States of Consciousness Through TM Can Lead to a Serious Health Crisis
The desire to evolve spiritually, (mind/heart/body), is a deeper more powerful urge than procreation – and that is saying a lot. However, this urge can be suppressed and often is, and it can be delayed, and often is. The quest for self-knowledge by connecting with something larger than us is part of our development process. We experience the phenom of life at the birth of our children, or a moment of true understanding that brings goosebumps, or a moment in love. These moments lift us into a higher state of consciousness where we feel as if we are flying. It is also a satisfying feeling when walking through nature and allowing ourselves to feel small in comparison, to admire its majesty and to feel energized by its unique elegance. Big leaps in development can happen in small moments and positive life changing moments.
When the noise pollution in our minds builds up from our daily activities and stress and reach a critical threshold where our hearts and minds begin to close out of self-preservation, we feel limited in our capacity to develop. Meditation is an attempt to counteract this. We can take a break, relax the mind, go within and find peace and authenticity again. We can stop the noise. It is a practice that anyone can do anywhere and at any time for twenty minutes a day. People feel clear, calm, refreshed and renewed when they’ve finished. What could possibly be wrong with that? Some forms of meditation are okay if they do not lower your shield. However…
Transcendental Meditation, (TM) is a dangerous practice whereby one attempts to achieve higher states of consciousness, transcendental states of being, through deep meditation. It will never evolve you. Rarely does one know what this transcendental state is about – what it is doing for or against a person, how it affects the spirit and the body. As well, there are many of these states!
I write this article as a healer who has worked with many clients who have struggled with the negative effects from their TM practice over the long term, usually manifesting in additional neuroses and paranoia, chronic fatigue and even cancer. (I do not work with cancer and regretfully I had to turn these people away.) One of my goals in my outreach is to dispel mysticism and replace it with new knowledge – knowledge I have gained through studies with my mentor, the late Nicolai Levashov, master healer and theoretical physicist. And knowledge I have earned through my practice and life experiences. I educate people on the reality of spirit/ mind, and its function in consort with the brain as a material subtle matter (invisible) with structure and qualities, analogous to anatomy and physiology in corpore. The spiritual bodies of humans, plants and animals also exists in consort with the earth’s subtle matter structure – which is a spirit/mind. The planet is as fully alive as we are, and we are all connected to it.
A human being has the potential to develop seven subtle matter (spiritual) bodies. Together they make up the spirit. Full evolution takes place over many lifetimes, although significant leaps can be made in a single lifetime if the evolutionary doors are open. This requires strength! And your spirit determines all. It manifests in the brain in the form of a psi-field. “The presence of an individual, complex psi field containing billions of interactive neurons, makes it possible to create specialized functions, thus securing life-support processes and related behavioral responses for the processing and storing of information about the internal and external milieu.”[1] (You can read about the psi field in depth in Nicolai Levashov’s book, The Final Appeal to Mankind, Vol 1”.) The psi field regulates the organ systems, processes life energy and is the mechanism which determines the growth of the spirit through an individual’s choices and free will. It interacts closely with the immune system and reproductive hormones. It transmits genetic code to off-spring and it is essential for life! When someone perceives another person’s aura, they are seeing their psi-field. It is not simply a mystical colorful haze; it has structure and great purpose for the spirit and physical organism.
The human psi field has maximum insulation through a shield. To a certain degree, this shield protects the individual from external dangers and environmental toxins, spiritually material and physical. An individual’s shield may become compromised by various actions that ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL MAKES. If a person becomes overly emotional to a critical point, (or is violated) the shield will lower or weaken as a response. If a person voluntarily lowers the shield or weakens it – as in the case of TM – the individual becomes vulnerable to astral creature attacks (parasites, viruses and extinct animal spirits living in the etheric and astral realms) which then continue create holes in the shield. These astral creatures will return again and again to drain the person of energy and density in the spiritual bodies. They can infest the central nervous system causing chronic fatigue and cause cell changes leading to oncological disease.
This is what occurs in deep meditation where a person seeks enlightenment “within”. In this altered state a person lowers the shield, their most protective force! The exposure to harmful attacks is analogous to an average white baby of Euro descent crawling naked through the Amazon Jungle.
In many group meditation classes, (and yoga), students are encouraged to lower their shields at the guidance of the meditation master or yogi to achieve this higher state of consciousness. This “benevolent” instructor then takes the energy from the students himself or herself, then attaches the students to a parasitic pyramid system through the solar plexus – keeping them imprisoned in a spiritual web that draws energy from the students. Some students become recruiters to bring in new students – new food – even if they are unaware of what they are doing. This pyramid structure is the form of all parasitic, negative structures. The negative activity is called Dark Tantra. It is an ancient activity and has been used in many ways over millennia. It is present in group meditation and other forms of group tantric practices. The western TM group is an enormous parasite structure which claims victims every day and draws out the health and potential to unassuming, well-intentioned people. This may not only lead to the pathology I previously described, but it also de-evolves a person. (Can lead to alcoholism and/or drug use). Human beings are alive to build potential and density within the spiritual bodies. You need a clean brain and your freedom to do so! You need your physical health.
Your primal life force is yours and yours alone. You should never give it away to anyone else (except perhaps your child in rare circumstances). Giving yourself away will never lead to enlightenment, and it is not generally the act of loving. You are the only one who can compromise your psi field shield, by strong emotion and by lowering it at the behest of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Enlightenment and higher states of consciousness come from correct decisions living in the world amongst others. Our decisions, self-knowledge, our actions and the reflection of information and transmuting it to knowledge are what evolves and transforms us. Transformation is not easy but is is rewarding. There is no easy way out. Usually, the most difficult choice is the right choice. In a self-gratifying, comfort driven, quick fix, entitled culture, it is easy to get sucked into a multitude of lies that sound good. One must see one’s way through the labyrinth by being true to oneself and understanding the reality of spirit/mind as essential to your life and which should direct your life. Only you can determine this.
Being still and focusing on breath in your home or in nature and contemplating beauty, meandering through the woods and forest and resting the mind by wading in a lake or the sea, will do far more to relax you, as it also invigorates you. Swimming, riding a bike, engaging in sports with friends will help to balance out your energy. Yoga is fine as an exercise practice, but it’s better done at home by yourself where you have control over your own shield, and no one is asking you to pull it down. Yoga will not evolve you. But it can stretch you well and it’s good to be limber.
Be the captain of your own ship and achieve higher states of consciousness without compromising your health! Be patient with yourself and honor where you are at. Life should be enjoyed, even with all its trials, tragedies and tribulations. There is great beauty on our blue jewel of a planet, and you are part of it.
