Inducing Consciousness I

Once our quiet hour of meditation each evening has become part of inducing consciousness and a pleasurable part of our daily routine, we will begin to be thankful for simply being alive. What we should aim for is that the thankfulness will begin to stick with us even as we sleep and all through the next day. We should begin to hope that there will not be a clear dividing line between our "Quiet hour" and our tumultuous routine. If we succeed, we will become aware of simple and silent pleasures. We will desire outside stimulation less and less. We may find ourselves shopping less as our desire for material objects decreases. This is the first stirring of spiritual awakening.

Now we may want to start the day with a meditation. This will give our daily routine a new tone. After washing our hands, and showering or bathing, we sit in a comfortable position, or even stand outside, and we feel the life force silent and strong within and without. We should aim for feeling thankful that this quiet is ours, and no one can take it from us. We should aim for feeling hopeful that we can uncover this calm at will, no matter what comes our way. We should begin to feel a stir, a growing awareness, that the life force is a gift. Everything we do during the day will take on the vibration of a deeper dimension, even menial chores like washing the dishes. In this way we begin living a spiritual life.
