IN THIS DAY OF OUTER STRESS AND STRAIN, MOST MEN AND WOMEN ARE LOOKING FOR THAT 'SILENT PLACE'. THE 'SILENCE' IS A PLACE IN CONSCIOUSNESS WHERE WE CAN 'SEE' AND CONTROL FROM A STATE OF UNITY AND CALM, THE PLANES OF LIGHT THAT AFFECTS ALL. WHEN THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS NOW UNATTACHED, IS FREE FROM THE WORLD OF OBJECTS AND THE ATTACHMENTS THROUGH THE FIVE SENSES AND SENSATIONS. THEN BECOMING AT ONE, UNITED WITH THE SILENCE AND REALIZING THIS IS THE DIVINE NATURE, THIS IS THE CALM CRYSTAL SEA OF AWARENESS THAT WILL LEAD YOU UPWARD TO THE MASTERY OF THE PERSONALITY AND THE FREEDOM OF THE GREATER SELF IN THE LIGHT. THE MASTER SELF, THE GREATER SELF, THEN, IS YOU AND YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR SPIRITUAL DESTINY AND THE PATH OF LIFE THAT YOU CAME TO EXPERIENCE.

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION IS A COLOR AND LIGHT BRIDGE IN CONSCIOUSNESS, MADE OF THOUGHT STRATA, AS WELL AS ENERGY AND LIGHT THAT MOVES IN THE BODY. THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION TAKES ONE FROM THE OUTER, TO THE INNER SELF IN THE FIRST STAGE OF PRACTICE.

IN THE SECOND STAGE OF PRACTICE, THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION TAKES THE PRACTITIONER FROM THE LOWER SELF TO THE HIGHER SELF.

IN THE THIRD STAGE OF PRACTICE, THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION TAKES THE PRACTITIONER FROM THE HIGHER SELF TO THE SPIRITUAL SELF.

IN THE FINAL STAGE OF PRACTICE, THE RAINBOW BRIDGE OF LIGHT MEDITATION TAKE THE PRACTITIONER FROM THE SPIRITUAL SELF TO THE TRANSCENDENT SELF THAT STANDS IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. AT THE FINAL STAGE ONE HAS OPEN AND DIRECT CONTACT WITH GOD IN A WAY ONE CAN KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD.

THERE IS MUCH TO DISTRACT US FROM OUR INNER STATES, AS TO OUR DAILY ASSOCIATIONS WITH LIFE, THE FAMILY, JOB, POSITION, RELATIONSHIPS AND AFFAIRS IN THE OUTER WORLD JUST TO NAME A FEW, FOR THERE ARE COUNTLESS OUTER DRAWS ON CONSCIOUSNESS. WITHIN OURSELF, WE ALSO HAVE STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO CONTROL AND TAKE DOMINION OVER. OUR EMOTIONS AND MENTAL WAVES, SUCH AS FEELING AND THINKING NATURES, NEED OUR CLOSE CONTROL AND SUPERVISION. OUR PSYCHIC AND CREATIVE POWERS AND ABILITIES NEED OUR ATTENTION TO DEVELOP. WE AS BEINGS NEED TO EXPERIENCE THE CLOSE INNER AND OUTER CONTACT WITH GOD ON A DAILY BASIS FOR OUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING.

WHO CAN CONTROL HIS OR HER STATE AND SPEED UP EVOLUTION, THE UNFOLDING OF INNER AND OUTER EXPRESSION? ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL WITHIN HIMSELF OR HERSELF CAN CONTROL 'THE MANY SELVES' AND GAIN THIS MASTERY AND BECOME AS ONE WITHIN THE SELF AND ONE WITH GOD. THE ONE WHO IS NOT BOUND BY TIME OR SPACE.

THE MINERAL, VEGETABLE, FISH, FOWL AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS MUST FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THEIR PATTERNS, BUT YOU HAVE THE UNCONDITIONED ENERGIES AND FREE WILL CHOICE WHEN YOU CAN TAP THIS INNER SELF TRANSCENDENTAL FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS, THE AWARENESS OF ALL POSSIBILITIES. CONTROL OF THE COMPLETE MENTAL BODY AND ITS MORE SUBTLE FIELDS LIKE THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND SUPER CONSCIOUS MINDS AND THE BRINGING TOGETHER OF THESE ENERGIES, TO CREATE FORCES THAT BESTOW ONE'S GIFTS AND POWERS, GIVES TO THE INDIVIDUAL HIS OR HER MASTER SELF. THROUGH THE POWER OF SELF MASTERY ONE REACHES THE GODSELF tTHAT IS ONE WITH GOD CONSCIOUSLY, OPEN AND DIRECT

The Rainbow Bridge Meditation process is to prepare one for flight into other dimensions, other states of consciousness where the personal potentials of the individual can be found and demonstrated. We do not stress any special position, but suggest the most comfortable posture so as if deep sleep would come, the individual would not fall from that position and hurt himself.

The second step is to release body tension by dynamic tension and breath control. The dynamic tension is starting at the feet, then the ankles, knees, hips, buttocks, pelvis, stomach and its organs, the back, the chest, heart and lungs, neck, arms, hands, face, head and pressing the tongue against the top of the mouth. One must put the full tension without excessive strain. At the same time one is to draw in a breath slowly as the tension is created. When you have the whole body tensed, you should also have a full breath. The breath is taken in and released simultaneously with the tension.

As the tension and breath are released together, the thought and feelings are released as 'negativity out'. This tensing and releasing is done three times. When taking in the breath, always through the nose, one starts by filling the stomach with air, then the lungs and then the top of the lungs by movement of shoulders backwards. When the breath is released with the tension, the last bit of air must be squeezed out of the lungs with a hissing sound. This last bit of air is called residual air and could have been held in the lungs. After this tensing and releasing, you are ready for your visualization of the Rainbow Bridge. Note here, there are other Bridges, but they are taught in the advanced Astral Physics Training.

Once you have released the tension and the cleansing breaths, you are now ready to cross the Antahkarana, The Rainbow Bridge. We start with the color Red, then Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet, Gold, Black and finally White. The colors should be visualized at their center hue. Shaded is toward the ego, tinted towards White is Spiritual. At first, these colors are imagined, but soon you will see them as Light. Once one has reached the White Light, they should then enter the silence.

THE FIRST ASPECT OF THE PROCESS IS THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION IS THE CONTROLLED VIBRATIONS OF MANY STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO CREATE A CONTINUITY OF AWARENESS FROM THE OUTER TO THE INNER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE INNER TO THE OUTER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO BRING YOU TO A SUPER CONSCIOUS AWARENESS IN MIND.

FIRST WE WILL TEACH YOU THE PROPER POSITION FOR THE BODY OF THE PHYSICAL. YOU CAN TAKE THE "LOTUS' POSITION THAT MANY YOGIS ADOPT [setting on a flat surface with one's legs cross and with one's feet resting on one's legs] OR THE SITTING IN A CHAIR WITH YOUR HEAD AND BACK STRAIGHT AND SLIGHTLY FORWARD OF THE BACK OF THE CHAIR WITH Your ARMS AND LEGS UNCROSSED.

NOTE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD AND BACK STRAIGHT. YOU CAN ALSO USE THE CORPSE POSTURE, SIMPLY LAYING FLAT ON YOUR BACK, WITH YOUR ARMS AND LEGS UNCROSSED.

HERE IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT ONE SHOULD NOT TAKE THE WRONG DIRECTION AND ONE MUST REMEMBER THE TRUE GOAL OF MEDITATION IS A DIVINE UNION WITH GOD. DO NOT MEDITATE ON THE MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL FANTASIES. MEDITATE ON THE SOURCE OF THESE WHICH IS WITHIN YOUR INNER SELF. DO NOT WORRY IF THOUGHTS ARISE. NO MATTER WHAT ARISES IN THE MIND, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, RIGHT OR WRONG, KNOW THAT IT ALL COMES FROM SOME SOURCE; IT IS ALL MADE FROM THE BASIC SUBSTANCE. DO NOT TRY TO WASH AWAY MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL IMPURITIES WITH SOAP AND WATER OR SWEEP THE DIRT AWAY WITH A NEW BROOM.

TURN THE FREE WILL ATTENTION INWARDS TOWARDS THE WITNESS OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. MEDTATION IN THE SILENCE AND WATCH THE PLAY OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN The MIND AND EMOTIONS. YOU ARE THE KNOWER OF THE MIND, BUT THE MIND DOES NOT KNOW THAT. LIVING WITHIN THE MIND, THE WITNESS-SELF MAKES US AWARE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, INCLUDING THE MIND. IT IS THE I AM WHO MAKES THE MIND THINK AND FUNCTION. THAT MEANS THAT The WITNESS IS DIFFERENT THAN MIND.

WHEN YOU SAY "THESE ARE MY CLOTHES", THIS MEANS THAT THE CLOTHES BELONG TO YOU AND THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE CLOTHES. IT IS THE SAME AS SAYING 'MY HEART', 'ARM OR 'MY MIND', IT ALSO MEANS YOU ARE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR HEART, ARM OR MIND. THAT IS THE WITNESS, THAT IS THE KNOWER OF THE SELF. THE WITNESS IS THE INFORMER OF THE EXPERIENCES OF DREAMS AND INNER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS WHEN THE SENSES AND SENSATIONS OF THE OUTER FUNCTIONS ARE DULLED OR TURNED OFF. THE WITNESS IS ALSO AWARE OF THE INNER JOY OF DEEP SLEEP. THIS WITNESS IS PURE CONSCIUOSNESS, OBJECTIVE AND ATTRIBUTELESS. THIS PURE CONSCIOUS AWARENESS IS ONE OF THE GOALS OF MEDITATION AND UNION WITH SELF AND GOD IS THE OBJECT. NOT THE MIND.

THE MIND JUMPS AROUND LIKE A MONKEY JUMPS FROM LIMB TO LIMB UNTIL THE MIND IS CULTIVATED. IF YOU SPEND YOUR AWARENESS CHASING THE MIND AND TRYING TO MAKE IT STILL, YOU FACE CALAMITY; DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND EFFORT IN SUPPRESSING THOUGHT, BE THE OBJECTIVE WITNESS TO THEM THROUGH OBSERVATION, WITHOUT GETTING INVOLVED. IF You GET INVOLVED YOU ONLY HAVE 'Thinking MEDITATION'. LET THOUGHT FORMS APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR, DO NOT FEAR OR BECOME SUBJECTED.

CONSEDER ALL AWARENESS AS CONSCIOUSNESS. TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL THAT IS WITHIN AND WITHOUT IS SOME FORM OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS THERE TO EXPAND SELF AND HELP MEDITATION. WITH THIS AWARENESS, THE MIND WILL BECOME CALM AND STEADY.

ONE SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANY PRECODITIONS BEFORE ONE ENTERS MEDITATION. THE PRECONDITION WILL SO OCCUPY THE MIND WITH ALL SORTS OF EXPLANATIONS THAT THE TRUE OBJECT OF MEDITATION WILL BE LOST. THE MIND WILL BE SAYING, 'TAKE THIS THOUGHT AND LEAVE THAT ONE'. THIS WILL FIND THE MIND IN A BATTLE AND STRUGGLE WITH THESE PRECONDITIONS. IF YOU ENTER INTO MEDITATION WITH A PRECONDITION, AS SOON AS YOU SEEK TO RELAX, IT WILL APPEAR ON THE FILAMENT OF THE MIND.

A MAN ONCE TOLD NOT TO THINK OF A WHITE POLAR BEAR FOUND THAT EVERY TIME HE WENT INWARD HE RECEIVED THE REFLECTION OF THIS WHITE POLAR BEAR IN HIS MIND. IF YOU FILL THE MIND WITH PRECONDITIONS YOU WILL BE BOUND IN YOUR OWN TRAP. THEREFORE, MAKE NO PRECONDITIONS.

MEDITATION IS SPONTANEOUS WHEN WE RECEIVE THE GRACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE GRACE OF GOD. MEDITATION SHOULD BE NATURAL AND EFFORDLESS. TO BALANCE OUT THE VEHICLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS THERE ARE TWO MORE ASPECTS BESIDES THE RAINBOW BRIDGE MEDITATION. THEY ARE THE CHANTING OF A MANTRA, TO CONTROL THE MIND AND BREATH CONTROL, TO KEEP ONE IN THE PRESENCE. BY CHANTING A MANTRA, THE FIELD OF ELECTRO-MAGNETIC ENERGY IN ONE'S AURA IS BROUGHT INTO HARMONY.

THE MANTRA CALMS AND CONTROLS THE MIND AND EMOTIONS AND CARRIES ONE INTO MEDITATION. IT IS THE VOICE OF THE SOUL. WHEN ONE REACHES THE MYSTICAL UNION IN THE AT-ONE-MENT, WHILE PRACTICING SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES, WHEN THE MANTRA IS JUST A MANTRA, ONLY WORDS AND THEN THE WORDS FADE, THIS IS WHEN YOU ENTER THE SILENCE AND REALIZE THE PRESENCE OF SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS.

TO DATE, MANY REPEAT AND REPEAT THE FALSE MANTRAS. THE WAY WE THINK OF OURSELVES WELL AS FELLING IDEAS SUCH AS, "I AM A MAN", "I AM A WOMAN","I AM WHITE", "I AM BLACK", "I AM A DOCTOR", AND ON AND ON, BY SUCH IMPRESSIONS IN CONSCIOUSNESS, WE LOSE THE TRUE SELF. BY ACTING ONE WAY WITH OUR PARENTS, ANOTHER WAY WITH THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH, ANOTHER WAY WITH OUR FRIENDS AND ANOTHER WAY WITH STRANGERS,WE LOSE OUR TRUE SELF.

BY FOOLING OURSELF AND NOT DOING WHAT COMES NATURAL TO US WE LOSE OUR SELF, THE TRUE SELF THAT IS GOD EXPRESSING. ALL OF THESE STATES OF MIND AND CONSCIOUSNESS DOES NOT AND CAN NOT EXPRESS OUR TRUE SELF.

INSTEAD IT WOULD BE BETTER TO THINK "I AM THE SELF"; "I AM GOD EXPRESSING"; "I AM LIGHT"; "I AM THAT I AM"; "I AM DIVINE" and "I AM PURE CONSCIOUSNESS." IN THIS WAY WE COULD FREE OURSELF OF ALL LIMITATIONS. IN THE MEDITATION WE FIND THE SELF, BECOMING IN ATONEMENT WITH OUR TRUE NATURE AS GOD EXPRESSING.

THEREFORE, WHEN REPEATING THE TRUE MANTRA WITH REVERENCE, SURRENDER, WISDOM, TRUTH, LOVE AND FAITH WE ARE UPLIFTED INTO OUR TRUE EXPRESSION.

THE MANTRA CLEARS OUR BEING, WASHES AWAY OLD SINS AND MAKES US PURE. THIS "NEW LIFE" ENERGY, THIS REBRITH OF BEING CIRCULATES THROUGHOUT ALL OUR BODIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, PURIFYING AND GIVING US A NEW INNER AND OUTER STRENGHT.
