Summary of Page
The concept of being trapped in a bottle symbolises humanity’s psychic prison, from which there is only one escape: elevated consciousness through meditation. The importance of stillness and communication with one’s Over soul during meditation facilitates a flow of electrical energy. This is a process that recognises the distortions caused by the ego. With the necessary discipline anyone can escape the illusion with pain and suffering. True escape requires an inward focus. That transforms limitations into strengths. In order to break free from one’s self made constraints.
Insight Meditation Only Escape
Video Trapped in a bottle
Greetings, brothers. Brother Bert once more draws close, so that in the peace of understanding we may all dwell. Today, the topic of my talk is Trapped in a Bottle, which is the sad state for most of average humanity. Symbolically speaking, humanity is trapped within a psychic prison, and the only escape is straight up through the small opening at the top, which is a vibrational change from low, coarse rock consciousness through to butterfly escape consciousness. Up through the small opening at the top, straight up, a vibrational change. And the easiest way to achieve that is through meditation, as I have said many times. Now we talk about the physics of meditation.
Anapana
When you sit still and first practise Anapana, you are stilling yourself and stilling the mind. And you are basically seeking to communicate with your Oversoul. In this state of being free of distractions, you put the call to your Oversoul. And your Oversoul says, “Ooh, he is finally starting to want to communicate. He is finally wanting to wake up.” And the Oversoul says, “Yes, please. Yes, I am in.” And the Oversoul brings the energy down. You are appealing up, and the Oversoul brings the energy down. Through that connection, there is a stronger flow of energy. And that stronger flow of energy brings stronger energy into your body.
Celestial Oversoul Light of the Universe
With meditation, you are increasing electricity in your body. What starts as a trickle eventually becomes a total and complete flood of energy, completely transforming yourself, completely transforming your mind, and completely transforming how you see everything and how you are. And now we will say: “Oh, celestial Oversoul, light of the universe, thou centre of being, from which all pours forth and to which all returns, pour forth thy love and thy wisdom upon these thy servants, that they may become strong and worthy instruments for the fulfilling of thy purpose in the world of man.” There we go.
Meditate to escape illusion
Simple, so very simple. But for every individual on the planet who is trapped in the illusion of the ego, it is not easy. So the first thing that everyone needs to recognise when they first come in contact with this sort of information is: “Okay, I am trapped within the ego, distorting perception and giving me tunnel vision. I need to select against my ego, and I need to discipline myself to sit still, to meditate, and to escape the illusion.” You can do it this lifetime, next lifetime, in 100 lifetimes, or throughout all eternity. It is the same choice: you sit still and meditate to escape the illusion, or you run around chasing the illusion, creating pain and suffering, experience a good depression every now and then, and that is your lot in life. It does not change very easily.
Okay, Brother Bert wishes you well, thanks you, and says bye-bye for now.
In Summary We May Say
Trapped within a psychic prison is the sad fate for most of average humanity, and it is entirely of their own making. You may go this way or that way, or forever any which way. It does not matter because you will always take yourself with you, which means that your problems will remain the same. The natural consequence is remaining trapped, metaphorically speaking, within your own prison or symbolic bottle while your focus remains outside yourself. It is only with the development of the internal focus that there is any possibility of escape.
This is a process of transforming limitations into strengths or virtues, commonly called riding the white charger of adversity. In fact, it is a process that lightens frequency and takes you in the only direction that leads anywhere, which is straight up. So look to understand why you feel irritation in any given situation. See your own resistance, and then let go, transforming the energy. Every spiritual growth step has an aspect of letting go. In this way, you learn to respond and not react. The heavens open up, and everything becomes possible when you first accept 100% personal responsibility for how you feel.
Escape Karma
Perhaps it would be wise to keep in mind that after successfully achieving the enlightenment energy state, which is to escape through the narrow opening at the top of the bottle, symbolically speaking, all our karmic debts will be completely dissolved and removed. We will have moved beyond any karmic consequence to an energy state that is completely detached from the causation material world of phenomena.
Go in peace, beloved ones. Go in peace.
