Parents will provide all the care and food appropriate for the child&#8217;s age and maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 So, our first steps in the Sahaj Marg practice are some sort of an aspirant&#8217;s primary education, aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 Actually, right from the beginning, we encourage people to read their inner conditions so that they may directly witness their own evolution, their transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Is it the reason why, after a group meditation, you ask the participants to become aware of the vibration present in their inner space and of the way it permeates all their cells and their environment?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 Absolutely! Through meditation, we turn our attention from outside inside. It is appropriate to observe what is happening there. Constant remembrance helps to develop an awareness of the flow that is poured into the aspirant&#8217;s heart and to enhance its presence within.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. It&#8217;s easy enough, after meditation, but most of the time it seems to be a remote feeling, deadened by the noise our thoughts and emotions can make as we are constantly caring for our selves and our daily issues. Then we can easily lose that sweet inner vibration.<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 That is why we incite the aspirant to observe silence first, then silence within silence. Therefore, it is important to pay attention, and to remain alert and discriminative. That will allow us to get connected, willingly and permanently, with the vibratory field of our heart and to intensify its vibration.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Could you describe that state, please?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 It is somehow like a basso continuo in music, you know, the ground bass that is played continuously throughout a piece to serve as the foundation for whatever melodic variations composed above it.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Do you mean that the melody that is being played is our life, and that the ground bass we can hear is the Divine? Is that what we have to try and discover?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 It is all there already, present to all eternity, but we never pay attention. Our noisy lives will obscure that sweet music.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Hence the necessity for us to be alert and conscious.<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 Some people think, for instance, that the short inner meditative breaks they take during the day will refresh them. In fact, they are just harmonizing their selves with the permanent flow of the divine vibration, and it makes them feel they are re-connected and refreshed.<\/p>\n<p>Theo (<em>pensively<\/em>):<br \/>\n\u2013 It is so subtle that the slightest noise will stifle the sound&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 It does not mean that the sound is not there, though; it&#8217;s only that it is no longer a sound that human ears can hear.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Hence your inviting us to inner silence and discrimination. How can we make significant advances on that front, without regressing?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 You have to ensure that each dimension you have discovered is being explored properly, and that you&#8217;ve made it yours and integrated it, while remaining connected with the constant channel that is uttering the sound, the vital vibration, the sacred OM.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 Does it concern every single dimension?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 Each one of them is a fascinating world. We could spend a whole life being in a state of wonder. Yet, that continuous flow will carry us forward. We do have to make it ours, consciously ours, willingly ours, so that it may carry us far away, to God&#8217;s Infinity.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 So, during the half-hour we are meditating on the divine light within our hearts, we are immersed within that flow, that famous Channel&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 We are getting nearer and nearer to it. If thoughts start spurting out, they will disturb us only if we follow and maintain them.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 In other words, they are the ones that should become the ground sound, or rather the surface one, whereas the divine sound plays the leading note and gathers momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 Until you are carried away.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 And then?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 That is what we call <em>samadhi<\/em>, the state where we are bathing into the divine flow and rejoin the Infinite Source.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 I had a taste of it, on some occasions, but it would not last long. When I surfaced again, the deep feeling I&#8217;d had burst like a soap bubble, as if the earth&#8217;s attraction would reclaim its rights. It was really frustrating, but what should I do?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 You should come up to the surface very quietly, detach a part of your consciousness and order it to keep in touch with that depth and simply accompany it, being in His presence.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 I can imagine my brain should be able to do so, thanks to its two parts, its three levels and its multiple autonomous operating areas, but still&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 The brain will follow and adapt to the state the subtle body and your consciousness will then develop. Since it is very flexible, though still at a very early stage, it is for us to train it. The neuronal and synaptic connections will develop accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 How?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 We have already talked about the <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/le-flow-partie-1-qi-qe-qs\/\">SQ (spiritual quotient)<\/a>. It will have a major impact on human beings, on their brains and their evolution, but I can look further. Today, I want to talk about the divine quotient, DQ. It will allow humanity to make a big jump in its evolution. We are currently nearer to Primitive man than to an accomplished human being. Our real capacities still remain dormant. Today&#8217;s proposition is to go back straight to the central divine flow and remain there, undisturbed by anything that might impede our capacity to dwell in God.<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 How can we do that?<\/p>\n<p>The Elder \u2013 That major flow is also the one that bore the Creation. It is endowed with an infinite energy. What I suggest is to let the Divine operate within us and then see what humanity is capable of&#8230; Seeing an awakened humanity will be something incredible, fantastic&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Theo. \u2013 You usually say that things should not be approached the wrong way round, and now you have already reached the goal!<\/p>\n<p>The Elder (<em>enthusiastic and smiling<\/em>)<br \/>\n\u2013 You are right. Constant Remembrance is what will help us in our daily work without letting the deepest part of our Being be disturbed. That will be a good start for humanity, won\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/void-centre-everything\/\">To be continued&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Theophile the Elder<br \/>\nAn excerpt from <em>Dialogs with Theophile the Elder<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Theophile the Younger&#8217;s Initiation<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theo. \u2013 It is a relentless job&#8230; The Elder \u2013 It can be compared with the constant attention a mother or a father pays to their dear child.
