How did you achieve your present state of consciousness?

My own personal history would not apply to everyone.

Basically ... I observed the nature of my own mind. Everyone's mind is like this: restless. It jumps from one thing to another like a monkey.

'Past' and 'future' are mental concepts. They only exist in the mind. We say someone is 'living in the past' or 'living in the future,' but what we really mean is, they are living in pictures of the past or the future. These pictures are in the mind.

All this is linear thinking, horizontal.

True consciousness, consciousness of what is real, doesn't move horizontally. It moves vertically. It is steady and blissful.

We say: "Mind moves horizontally. Mind means, past and future. When you release your mind, dissolve your mind, that means past and future dissolve, automatically.

"Mind moves in time, in past and future. But consciousness doesn't move in time, it is timeless. The substance Time doesn't affect consciousness."

That's why in our language the present is also called 'timeless.' That is also the meditation state."

Once you flow with actual consciousness, automatically these mental pictures dissolve. Past and future release you. Only you are alive, you are left with the present.

This is the way to achieve the state of consciousness I have. A state where you are always balanced. A state where every action becomes divine. Even just eating food, drinking tea -- everything is divine, heavenly. Because the present is divine.
