Attention has been defined as a focusing of consciousness or if one prefers the form of expression as detention in consciousness In the first case we may liken it to the action of the sun-glass through which the sun's rays are concentrated upon an object the result being that the heat is gathered together at a small given point the intensity of the same being raised many degrees until the heat is sufficient to burn a piece of wood or evaporate water If the rays were not focused the same rays and heat would have been scattered over a large surface and the effect and power lessened And so it is with the mind If it is allowed to scatter itself over the entire field of a subject it will exert but little power and the results will be weak But if it is passed through the sun-glass of attention and focused first over one part and then over another and so on the matter may be mastered in detail and a result accomplished that will seem little less than marvelous to those who do not know the secret Thompson has said The experiences most permanently impressed upon consciousness are those upon which the greatest amount of attention has been fixed Another writer upon the subject has said that Attention is so essentially necessary to understanding that without some degree of it the ideas and perceptions that pass through the mind seem to leave no trace behind them By means of Raja Yoga many of the secrets of existence and Being many of the Riddles of the Universe are answered and solved And by it the latent powers inherent in the constitution of Man are unfolded and brought into action Those highly advanced in the science are believed to have obtained such a wonderful degree of power and control over the forces of the universe that they are as gods compared with the ordinary man This is the 5th in a series of lessons based on the powerful book check out the first here a https 3A 2F 2Fyoutu be 2FoYBGCWNeBek a A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga by Yogi Ramacharaka yoga williamwalkeratkinson rajayoga theself I considered narrating this entire book as one piece but it works better being separated into 12 parts This book consists of 12 lessons of Raja Yoga These are the lessons LESSON I The I LESSON II The Ego's Mental Tools LESSON III The Expansion of the Self LESSON IV Mental Control LESSON V The Cultivation of Attention LESSON VI Cultivation of Perception LESSON VII The Unfoldment of Consciousness LESSON VIII The Highlands and Lowlands of Mind LESSON IX The Mental Planes LESSON X Sub-Consciousing LESSON XI Sub-Conscious Character Building LESSON XII Sub-Conscious Influences This is the FIFTH lesson - The Cultivation of Attention This book is very powerful in helping to understand you true self and consists of a series of lessons designed to enlighten them regarding the nature of the Real Self and to instruct them in the secret knowledge whereby they may develop the consciousness and realization of the real I within them They are shown how they may cast aside the erroneous or imperfect knowledge regarding their real identity The Book talks on the internal world of the self The real nature of the subconscious mind the way to control it how ego comes into play and most frequently asked questions like Who am I are attempted to answer The last part of this episode consists of exercises and meditations to help you prepare for the 6th lesson Please let me know if you enjoyed this and I will put these out faster I have found it to be a powerful set of lessons Music by Mettaverse 777hz Deep Relaxation Angelic Frequency Scale Subscribe to their channel here a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fchannel 2FUCyvjffON2NoUvX5q TgvVkw a Listen to them on Soundcloud a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2KjGlLI a Follow them on Instagram a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2JW8BU2 a Join them on Facebook a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2G1j7G6 a Support their Work at Patreon a http 3A 2F 2Fbit ly 2F2TXQhu3 a The 12 Lessons of Raja Yoga playlist - https www youtube com watch v oYBGCWNeBek list PLKv1KCSKwOo KUSj4CbHD351PWWLM6W0l All my guided meditations in one place a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fplaylist 3Flist 3DPLKv1KCSKwOo BfNnb5vLcwouInskcEhqL a For coaching a https 3A 2F 2Fwww advancedsuccessinstitute com a For all episodes of the Reality Revolution a https 3A 2F 2Fwww therealityrevolution com a Like us on Facebook a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2FRealityRevolutionPodcast 2F a Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution a https 3A 2F 2Fwww facebook com 2Fgroups 2F403122083826082 2F a Subscribe to my Youtube channel a https 3A 2F 2Fwww youtube com 2Fchannel 2FUCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw a Contact us at media advancedsuccessinsitute com
