Senses / Enemies of Neutrality

The senses are the enemies of neutrality. Hence if the core-self feels that it will enlists the cooperation of the senses to attain a neutral state of mind, that self will never be successful in introspective meditation.

The sense interpret neutral states as boredom. They use such states as the motivation to acquire a variety of sensual intakes, regardless of if these damage the meditation practice. The core-self should understand this posture of the senses and should push on without the cooperation of the senses and with the depression which the senses exhibit when they are confronted with a neutral circumstance.

Usually the core-self bends to the sway of the senses and pursues various sensual means of satisfaction even when such participation ruins meditation practice and causes setbacks in the progress.

It is also a fact that yoga friends may compromise one another by giving in to sense gratification which is detrimental to practice. When everyone in the group does it, the individual guilt felt is lessened or disappears altogether and everyone feels happy about the indulgence despite that fact that it compromises the practice.

Those students who have the necessary resistance to the negative association of their yoga friends, will forge ahead but the real position is not social. It is psychological where the core-self must forge ahead alone without the cooperation of the senses, kundalini lifeforce and intellect.

The real loneliness has nothing to do with the lack physical or even astral companions. It is the loneliness of the core-self in relation to the psychic components in the psyche. The core-self must go it alone without cooperation from the psychic adjuncts like the senses, the kundalini psychic lifeforce and the intellect. If that self cannot tolerate this lack of cooperation, it will never be successful in the meditation practice.
