How Meditation Affects the Human Consciousness

We as human beings are improving basically only one thing throughout our lives. This thing is our consciousness. Our main goal is to develop our consciousness so that it come in touch with itself and becomes unified with the Universal Cosmic Consciousness or Divine Consciousness.

The first step to attain this Divine Consciousness is to appreciate this manifested world. What I mean by this is we need to comprehend the Divine Design. In other word we need to realize the Divine Consciousness itself. If you realize the Divine Consciousness you are one with it. Unfortunately it is impossible to convey this knowledge by words or any means of logical thinking. The only way you could attain the vibration of the Divine Consciousness through your own experience, through meditation.

The degree of how deep your go into meditation state shows the degree of realization that Divine Consciousness. Actually it's not even a realization since our mind cannot comprehend it. We can touch it only through mediation experience. The only help that someone can give you is to point to the right direction. The actual experience is yours and yours only. This is the beauty of the realization, the Divine experience is unique and belongs only to you.

The logical mind cannot comprehend nor realize the Divine Consciousness. Therefore in all religious and mystical traditions the only way one could know the Divine is to become one with it in meditation. The old scriptures and manuscripts are useless in this regard. They cannot help you to attain this. They can give you only the intellectual knowledge not the experience itself. Collecting that kind of knowledge is like collecting dust on the mirror of your consciousness. From the ancient time there were masters who had transmitted the keys to the methods of attaining the Universal Consciousness. Their disciples learned to cross the threshold of logical mind and get into the world of Divine knowledge.

Our mind consists of two parts. One is conscious and another is unconscious (or subconscious). The capability of conscious mind is limited since it's full of various information and impressions. For that reason when we are trying to recall something the recollection memories come quite slow to us. The conscious mind needs to clear up some space to a memory to appear on surface. By moving deeper into the meditation we are creating the silence or free space (I would call it vacuum) in our mind that absorbs all the information from subconscious mind. There is a saying in the East which if rephrased sounds like 'Know your subconscious and you will know the whole World'. That's why many meditators after long time practice meditation experienced sudden Satori or Samadhi (Enlightenment).
