If at least five days of continuous meditation is required to access our subconscious,
Would it be difficult to see any effect from the Sunday meditation?
If you are an experienced meditation practitioner,
Then even with 10 minutes and 20 minutes,
You are able to focus deep down.
However,
For a beginner,
It's very difficult to arrive at that state within such a short time.
It's a lot of thoughts.
And you feel sleepy.
There are aches and pains throughout the body that distract you.
That's why your consciousness is always debating between what I like and what I don't like.
As if you are sleeping.
That you are totally relaxed.
And your thoughts,
The stream of thoughts are paused.
And like a dream,
You have different scraps of thoughts rising.
But as long as you have that focus on the breath,
Then those little float stems of thoughts and abstracts,
You see them coming up from your subconscious.
As long as you are being conscious of the subconscious,
It's like a dream.
So if when we encounter a mugger in a dream,
We are afraid,
Fearful because we don't realize inside the dream that we are dreaming.
So in that case,
There is no mindfulness.
However,
There are cases where you have lucid dreams in which you realize you are dreaming as you are dreaming.
In that sense,
You know you are dreaming,
So you are not afraid of that mugger.
So in that sense,
You don't identify with that person in your dream because you realize that this is a dream in which you encounter the mugger.
So there is a distance and you observe the dream.
Nevertheless,
You are not fearful from it because you know it's a dream.
In that state,
You realize all these little streams kind of float up from your subconscious and you can observe them.
And you realize what kind of traumas you have from your subconscious.
And if they are accompanying strong emotions to the certain traumas,
Then you realize it's not healed completely yet.
But if there are other incidents that you can observe,
However they are not accompanied by strong emotions,
Then you realize it's not healed completely yet.
You realize it's not healed completely yet.
But if there are other incidents that you can observe,
However they are not accompanied by strong emotions,
You realize they are kind of healed.
They are still there as memory,
But they don't trigger emotional responses.
So I'm not saying that you will experience this or you will get to this state just because you did five days of continuous meditation.
But if you do it continuously,
Constantly,
Maybe ten days or one night,
You will eventually get there.
You don't think you might get there,
But slowly you will get to that state in which you can observe this.
Okay.
