Did You Meditate Today? — Continuing the Series on activating your Inner Intelligence

The Process of Meditation is not a trend, a technique, or a relaxation method.
It is the systematic return to the indwelling intelligence, the same principle introduced in previous articles, such as:

• Interference | Why Didn’t You Meditate?
• Meditation brings Clarity
• Why Meditate? The Foundation of Spiritual Development

Those earlier teachings explained why your life becomes distorted when awareness is trapped in the senses.
This article takes the next step: how to work with your inner intelligence through meditation, deliberately and effectively.

1. Why Meditation Works: The Inner Intelligence

Your body runs because one Intelligence governs it; breath, heart rate, digestion, healing, intuition, and involuntary action all answer to this center.
But your indwelling Intelligence is not connected to the five senses, which means you cannot access it through ordinary waking life.

In previous essays, we called this:

• The innermost
• The God within
• The Soul

Meditation is the process of consciously returning to this Source.

2. The Shift From External Awareness to Internal Awareness

Every person lives in two worlds:

1. The external world — noise, stress, reactions, activity, distraction
2. The internal world — silence, intelligence, clarity, soul

Waking consciousness keeps you locked in the first world.
This is why you are inconsistent, confused, reactive, or emotionally overloaded.

Your ‘normal’ waking mental states are, in fact, the lowest side of life.

Meditation reverses the direction of awareness.

3. The Steps of Meditation

Here is the process as a sequence, not a philosophy:

Step 1: Absolute Motionlessness of the Body

Stillness signals the nervous system to reduce sensory input.
When the body stops moving, attention stops leaking outward.

Step 2: Control of Breath (Spirit Control)

Breath is the mechanism that links consciousness with the body.
Slowing the breath slows thought.
Shallow breath = waking consciousness.
Steady and deep breath = soul consciousness.

Step 3: Disconnect From the Five Senses

Sight, sound, and sensation must become secondary.
You are not shutting them off; you are withdrawing attention from them.

Step 4: Stepping Off Thoughts

Thoughts continue.
You do not step onto them.
This is “non-participation,” the same principle outlined in the Interference article.

Step 5: Redirect Awareness to the Indwelling Intelligence

When the body is still, and the breath is calm, attention naturally turns inward.
This is where meditation begins, not before.

4. Concentration and Trance: The Builders of Meditation

“To work more effectively the ability to concentrate is built upon in trance, not in waking states.”

This is the key to deep meditation.

• Concentration doesn’t happen in everyday consciousness.
• It develops in altered states of consciousness, after the senses have been silenced.

These states allow you to reach what earlier articles called:
The Original Thinking Substance is the metaphysical field that responds to intention, imagination, and clarity.

Meditation is how you impress your awareness onto that field.

5. What Meditation Actually Is

Meditation is not relaxation.
It is being conscious of being conscious.

It is the inward turning of awareness until the soul, not the senses, becomes the operating system of your life.

CONCLUSION: Did You Meditate Today?

Your real life begins the moment your awareness withdraws from the senses.
Meditation is the step-by-step pathway back to your own intelligence, your clarity, and your power.

If today is already overloaded with external focus, take ten minutes and begin:

• Still the body.
• Slow the breath.
• Step off thoughts.
• Turn inward.

This is the practice.
This is the doorway.
This is the process of meditation.
