Meditation / Memory Attack

It is frequent that memories become the bane of advanced meditation practice. When all is said and done, when the yogi is isolated from stimuli in the external world, the real battle begins between the coreSelf and its adjuncts. At that time, the cry about the problems in the external physical and subtle environments cease. Then the yogi turns about and faces the most formidable enemies which are not outside in the physical environment nor outside the subtle body in the astral world, but are inside the psyche but outside the coreSelf which is housed in the psyche.

One of these enemies, is the memory. Others are the sense-of-identity, the intellect, and the kundalini. A yogi can silence the sense of identity by training it to disregard the intellect. Once it is disconnected from that, it is no bother in meditation. However, the sense-of-identity has a strong attachment to the intellect, and hence, efforts to breach that friendship regularly result in failed attempts.

It depends on the power of the individual coreSelf. Some cores are more powerful than others. Because of the varying willpower strengths, each meditator may have a different success rate curbing any one of the adjuncts.

As stored data, the memories cannot affect meditation. To have an effect, they must be illustrated by the intellect. Hence, if one controls the intellect and keeps it from becoming assaulted by memory bubbles, one would be free from memory attracts but this is easier explained than accomplished.

Memories are video and photo copies of sensual registers which come into the psyche through one or more of the five senses, which are smelling, tasting, seeing, touching and hearing. Recordings of these occurrences are lodge in the conscious and subconscious minds in memory chambers. These have a potency whereby the person is forced to perceive them when they make contact with and are illustrated by the intellect. These memories break the stillness or thoughtlessness of meditation forcing the yogi to yield to their displays and to subscribe to their suggestions for expansion.

How to end memories which arise during meditation?

First of all one may not have the power to terminate a memory because the memory may have a potency whereby when it was stored, it was supported with such a strong interest of the person, that he/she cannot handle or terminate it and must allow it to run its course for display in the mind.

Weaker impressions can be ignored or even terminated by willpower commands or by expressing a disinterest energy. However, in all respect, these memories negatively impact meditation attempts whereby the time used for meditation is consumed by the illustration of memories and the attempt to end them.
