Inner space journey

Imagine you must command a manned spaceship taking off from Earth next week. 

  • What physical and mental exercises would you do to get ready?
  • What would you study for the mission in this week?
  • What would you prioritise?
  • If you are not sure of your return, what would you do to wrap up your life here?
  • How would you check your preparations, however minimal they may be?

Going inward is similar in many ways. But there are huge differences, and some similarities:

  • You have to restart using disused abilities. The sooner the better. You cannot go inward only by looking at or doing outward things.
  • Mental srength and muscles build by going ever deeper and deeper inward
  • But relinquish more and more outward - bodybuilding - stuff to go to subtler inner levels
  • Yet, mens sana in corpore sano, your mental and physical instruments must function efficiently
  • Ultimately, you have to let go of everything you know in order to become that which underlies not only you, but every living being in the universe
  • If you cannot let go of "you", you cannot go to the subtlest level - as simple as that
  • Everyone came - manifested - from the subtlest level, everyone can go back
  • They simply must have interest in doing so
  • There are many fellow inward travellers at various levels of subtlety
  • You will be helped in ways you cannot imagine now
  • You will, in turn, help others similarly
  • This is a cooperative journey for all humans - keep good logs and share them
  • Time is not a concern. If you let go immediately and sufficiently, you will reach the subtlest level right away.
  • Staying at the subtler levels is a problem. Your instruments are not used to turning the other way.
  • "Work as if you have all the time in the world, but none to waste"
