MEDITATION is the Mechanism of activating your mind & body towards

Pure consciousness.

Transcending the three dimensional barrier and taking science beyond the

capabilities of human sensory organs eliminated the need to present perceptible

mechanisms of observed phenomena as an acceptance criterion. The advent of

computers has greatly enhanced the capability of the human brain to tackle

complex phenomena that are too formidable to be tackled by the unaided and

unenlightened human brain. Computer can never aspire to acquire the capabilities of

the human brain because the human brain is driven by consciousness which

operates at a speed much faster than the speed of light.

During the Meditation process, early (sensory) components of the brain’s response are

more widely distributed across the cortex, indicating greater participation of the whole

brain in the response to a stimulus. Reference: Human Physiology 25: 171–180, 1999.

During the Meditation technique individuals often report the subjective experience of Pure

Consciousness, the state of least excitation of consciousness. This study found that manyexperiences of pure consciousness were associated with periods of natural respiratory

suspension, and that during these respiratory suspension periods individuals displayed

higher mean EEG coherence over all frequencies and brain areas, in contrast to control

periods where subjects voluntarily held their breath. Reference: Psychosomatic Medicine 46:

267–276, 1984.

Meta-analysis is a procedure for drawing definitive conclusions from large bodies of

research studies. A meta-analysis of all available physiological research on the Meditation

found that the practice of this technique produces a state of deep rest compared to

control conditions, as measured by reduced respiration rate, reduced basal skin conductance

(increased skin resistance), and reduced plasma lactate. Reference: American Psychologist

42: 879–881, 1987.

quieter and quieter levels of the thinking process, until it experiences the source of

thought—Transcendental Consciousness—a field of infinite creativity and intelligence.
