How do STS-beings meditate?

[Ray711]

I agree with your thoughts, Kristina.

Meditation is simply focus. And I would think a dedicated STS individual would, in general, be better at meditation than an STO-oriented individual because of this. An STS mindset is already in a one-pointed focus with the self.

This is not exactly correct. If one is serious about reaching Awakening, focus is only the main factor during the stages that prepare the entity for the true work in meditation. Once single-pointed attention has been achieved, meditation becomes effortless and automatic, with no thought penetrating the field of awareness, and joy and bliss being felt. This state makes it easy for the experiencing of the interconnectedness of all to arise (and from there, many other Awakenings, each revealing more and more truth of the nature of the Creator). Suffice to say, any such experiences would impose serious questions upon someone seeking the left hand path.

It's also to be noted that even for a less advanced meditator, meditation is a tool to make the self aware that true satisfaction lies in the mere notion of being; the "I am-ness". That there is nothing outside the self that can bring true happiness. This is anathema to the hoarder-like mentality of STS entities, where they are constantly striving for something else in the realm of physicality.

A book I have says that in order to reach the state of bliss, though, it is necessary to carry out a lifestyle that doesn't fill the mind with negative luggage. So, perhaps STS entities hit a roadblock in the meditation process that prevents them from reaching the highest gifts of meditation.

Also, a very relevant quote from Ra on the whole subject of polarity in relation to meditation:

Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
