(Continued) In meditation, we use our mind's "first attention" (see part 1 of this article) to narrow down our thought process through focus. Our brains think dozens of thoughts per minute. The thoughts that are constantly popping into your head create a thick screen of white noise. This screen is a mirror turned inside; it reflects you, not the world. To see beyond the screen, you need to stop the white noise. In general terms, when you focus one pointedly, you slow down your thought process, bringing your thoughts eventually down from dozens to just one. When the thoughts stop for even a short period of time, we come to the edge of existence. It is not the edge of all existence, but the limited existence that you call "ME". To experience life directly, without any mental modifications, you need to have the courage to let go of that last focus, let go of control and self-identity and hurl yourself into the stillness, into "Najual" (see part 1 of this article). It takes a lot of courage. And, I would have to add that unless you have attained super-conscious states, called Samadhi, in your past lives times and times over, you need to work with an experienced teacher to reach those states. Samadhi is not simply an experience of light and ecstasy, it is not an experience of Najual... It IS Najual.

So, to the extent that we can truly and completely stop thought, we have an access to true power. This said, I have to clarify that we do not actually "possess" power; rather, we make ourselves available to power. One way you can tell how powerful someone is or is not, is by how long they can stop thought. If at this time you can stop thought for only a little bit of time, you have a little bit of personal power. Or more precisely, you have an access to a little bit of power. On another hand, if you have the ability to stop thought for a long period of time, you let that power to fully flow through you into your life, business, or anything that you set your mind to. The power, however, is more than just a force; it is an intelligent force. It not only gives you a boost in your endeavors, but it also provides an insight and intuition into the right direction. If you have an access to a vast flow of power, your intuition will suggest a bolder and riskier path. On another hand, if your power is low, your intuition will likely be influenced by fear, measuring your limited resource of power against the level of power of your competition or opponent. Power allows achieving all kinds of success. With a direct access to raw force and intelligence of the universe, you can accomplish a whole lot more in your life, as you pursue a path of love, not fear. However, here also lies a secret – a magical doorway that most people overlook. They get so caught up in the excitement of newly found success and flow in their lives that they miss the greatest secret, an inconspicuous doorway that leads to total freedom – Enlightenment.
