Stopping the World—A Meditation into Oneness

Right now is “A Moment”—although any moment will do, even tomorrow and all tomorrows.

This present moment and all moments of the Eternal present, is a “now” moment in which you can “stop the world” —and feel the Oneness of your own being as part of the Oneness of life. Decide to stop thinking for a moment, take some deep breaths and enter your soul consciousness—allowing yourself to feel the interconnectedness of all of life.

This is something that you can do with your “feeling” awareness at any time.

Apply your will to feeling/imagining/intuiting the interconnectedness of all of life, then engage your Etheric body which is larger than the physical body and extends out beyond the physical body, becoming one with the whole cosmos, sharing and connecting atoms with all of life as we know it on this earth and beyond, stretching out into the vast reaches of the cosmos.

Go into that vastness and allow your mind to still itself, let go of thought and stop—soon all thought ceases. It could happen in an instant, it could take awhile, but it moves in stages towards the silence and the stillness.

The key to feeling the Oneness is in stopping thought.

…allow everything to slow down and stop. Give over your will to the silence and stillness.

Be patient, in time you will get your awareness to let go of thinking. Simply keep applying the power of your will towards shutting off the thoughts.

It helps if you allow the movement of energy that thoughts are, to cease. This means detaching from the “content or story” of the thoughts, leaving your mind free and empty, allowing stillness to come across your body, mind and emotions.

…allow everything to slow down and stop. Give over your will to the silence and stillness.
