Meditation / Remembering the Sublime

What is sublime?

What is transcendental?

To cause the mind to shift to a higher plane, what is worthy of recalling during dull or void meditation sessions?

Recall of the usual ideas in the mind during meditation is a no no as listed by Patanjali in his condemnation of the appearance of conventional chittavritti mento-emotional activities during meditation attempts.

However the recall of really sublime incidences is productive during meditation and may lead to the assumption of higher states during a low level session which is dull, void or bewildering.

There is a snag however which is that the mind may be disinclined to registering sublime experiences when they occur while the mind may be eager to imprint itself with low level occurrences and non-spiritual excitements which hypnotize the coreSelf.

My information is that the mind is disinclined to register, much less recall sublime states, especially if the energy is a neutral bliss force. The mind would experience but would make no effort to make note of it.

This means that when the yogi tries to recall those sublime conditions and influences, he would fail to do so because the mind did not register the incidences and hence had to memory to utilize.

This is shocking and rather personal. The yogi must wonder as to the value and usefulness of the mind if it fails to retain sublime phenomena event though it is versed in registering and recalling what is mundane, ordinary and of no spiritual consequence.

Waking up from the shock of this realization, the yogi may on his own train the mind to note and recall the sublime. Or he may take help from higher entities or deities where their information and association, results in a change in the mind’s behavior.
