Lecture 21 — Meditation, the Highest Way of Thinking is to Stop Thinking
Dream Yoga
by
Samael Aun Weor
Become Conscious in the World of Dreams
“True illuminates do not dream. Dreams are
for those who are asleep. True illuminates
live in the higher worlds, out of the physical
body, in a state of intensified wakefulness
without ever dreaming.”
Learn the ancient practical methods to
awaken consciousness in the world of
dreams.
Scriptures describe how prophets and
mystics always acquired wisdom and
guidance in dreams. Consciousness in
dreams has always been of the utmost
spiritual and psychological importance. Astral
projection, lucid dreaming, out of body
experiences, and vision quests are all part of
the extensive science called Dream Yoga,
the sacred knowledge of consciously

What is meditation? Isn't it the superior way
to experience the universe, its external and
its inner reality? To establish a dialogue with
the essence of LIFE within and outside. It's
been also said that "meditation is the bread,
the fundamental food to reach wisdom". It's
been described as "the highest way of
thinking which is to stop thinking". There are
as many ways of meditating as people live
on earth. But, are those techniques leading
us into a final synthesis to reach
enlightenment, illumination?
Gnostic Anthropology recommends these
two fundamental techniques:
Meditation in the annihilation of the ego
(unconscious), to transform lead into gold
(spiritualizing matter or Alchemy);
The Illuminating Void (to experience God's
presence), to learn to KNOW our Inner Being
(God within and outside) instead of just
"believing".
One of the strongest limitations to
concentrate, to relax, to quiet our mind is the
process of thinking. Isn't thinking, called
"logic", the Aristotle's Method (inductive and
deductive)?. This was great a thousand
years ago, when humanity lived immersed in
an instinctive-era. When men went to the
battlefield carrying heavy metal armours and
swords which demanded strong physical
abilities. The need to develop our inferior-
mind, or thinking was then an urgent need.
Today, thousands of years later, thinking is
just "the mechanical struggle of the
opposites," an unbalanced method to
perceive reality. Scientists with a
tridimensional mind, are only able to arrive at
hypothesis, or theories based on other
theories. What is needed now is to awaken
our "emotional intelligence" (intuition and
telepathy) and our "superior intellect"
(inspiration, creative willpower and creative
imagination).
Both kinds of meditation will allow us to
awaken our soul-consciousness. Which is
higher than the mind, paving the way to
reach enlightenment, or illumination.
Experiencing our inner transformation from
"lead into gold", which is "Alchemy" itself.
The path taught by the founders of all
religions. Everybody is welcome to join us
into walking the path to ascend into the true
human-kingdom (to become real
homosapiens, or true men with wisdom,
consciousness – with loving capabilities).
Today, with our ego very much alive we are
just mere intellectual-animals. The Adams
and the Eves, complete humans with 12
senses, are our true ancestors. Aren't we
misplaced? Isn't it time to meditate about it?.
