Dzogchen

Success in meditation doesn't depend on the technique which you do, (Dzogchen, Yoga, etc). It depends on about a couple of other factors.

The first factor is how much of the divine energy you have in yourself, i.e., what kind of your „inner fire“ is. If your flame is weak and if you don't have enough energy in consciousness, your awareness will sink and you will have a lot of thoughts and emotions and you will be restless and torn apart. You can do the best technique in the world, it will not succeed for you.

The second factor which is important in meditations is to have enough pure energetic kanals so that energy raises in the upper chakras. If in the course of the day the destructive thoughts and emotions and too great sexuality and the need of comunication with the other beings through the sexual chakra dominate with the person and if there is a powerful concentration and if the flame is powerful energy will not raise in the upper chakras.

It means, the enough quantity of the divine energy(powerful flame) and the purity of consciousness are necessary for good meditations.

Awareness lowers the hard thoughts, especially related to sex, and of food: meat, eggs, some herbal food like beans, some cereals, and so on.

The third factor without which there are no successful meditations, if a person lives in the western world is learning about exchange of energies with people (we call it energetic vampirism).

The energetic vampirism is our everyday life and when people reach 35 years of age oftentimes it happens that their flame weakens, primarily because of the comunication with people and because of meeting people who we call „energetic vampires“. If people don't learn to proptect themselves from the energtetic vampires they will be too exhausted and they won't have good meditations.

The inner fire

People with all their activities in the course of the day weaken their energetic flame which god and nature gave them and which means their life. They mostly lose their energy through contacts with people on their working place and in families if it comes to arguments and rows. A great deal of energy is lost on computers, watching televisoin, sleeping on unhealthy places like underground radiations and yogi with iron constructions.

As the phisical body dissipates a great quantity of energy through everyday working activities so the same our spirit dissipates a great quantity of energy through everyday thoughts and emotions and not only through thoughts and emotions but through inconstance of attention.

If our attention is inconstant and rambles from object to object it terribly cools our inner fire, our life energy weakens and in the end we sink without real meditations. To find one's own center in that way that attention becomes stabilized on one place through the practice of the Meditation of Awareness or through concentration is very important, it means to avoid to be torn apart and carelessness of attention, primary attention to wonder non stop in the course of the day, it exhausts our vital energy a lot.

Imagine that an average person retreats and eliminates all this. To sleep on the healthy place, to be in the nature, in the little house where he/she gets energy, that he/she is alone and that nobody from the family puts a burden on him/her with pressures, obligations and that he/she is not on his/her working place where the majority of people exhaust a lot, what would happen with this person then? We are talking about an average person.

The majority of people would think then that his/her inner fire would grow and that the energy would return to him/her. Believe me, in 95% of people energy wouldn't renew itself because the majority of people when they retreated and when they were alone, they still weren't be alone.

The majority of people is not capable to overcome the emotional being linked, they would be separated from families, they would think about all the tiny problems at work and at home and in general they would creat different emotions and also a lot of thoughts.

If a person was on a certain stage of spiritual development and succeeds to concentrate so that with the concentration on mantra, 3. eye or crystal, he/she stops or lowers the number of thoughts and emotions, again a lot of impressions would come to him/her from subconsciousness in the form of fears, visions, as pleasant as also unpleasant which would also disturb and dissipate the attention of a person and every dissipation of attention imminently leads to weakening of fire, of course by weakening the fire it comes to the weakening of our vitality, our energy.

Not only that it is important that people retreat, it is also important that they have a certain spiritual discipline and power which they acquired by practice in this and past lives, so that they can stop the flow of thoughts and emotions in their consciousness, and that they can overcome, and not repress emotions.

Only when all the upper mentioned is satisfied, when in people there are no thoughts and emotions for the whole day, when they are on the positive place in the frame of the 9 to 12 months it will come to a strong flame of energy in the interior of a person itself, primarily in the sexual organs and stomach, and the lifting of energy in the upper chakras. If the Meditations of Awareness are applied correctly, the unutterable blissfulness, and the creation of now body, a body of light will happen.

Dzogchen is a part of awareness exercise, which we recommend. That is the best technique for stopping thoughts and emotions and for experiencing the moment of presence. But if your ''inner fire'' is weak, and no matter if you practise the best methods in a world, you will not have a good meditations.

sensitivity is necessary
I have been in Tibet and India for about 10 times and often I was dissapointed by the spiritual work of many Tibetan monks. There are many monasteries in Tibet where meat and eggs are daily used. I've seen that many monks live by belief, but they do not see the truth, nor they experience it in themselves.

What I personally experience, is a whole-day powerful feeling of happiness, very likely to drunkeness. Then, my energy is constantly in upper chakras. The smallest piece of meat, or one egg produces decrease in awareness and weakening of that ''drunkeness''.

A belief to a Buddha or Jesus is not enough, it's necessary that a person explores universe in him/herself. And to do that, a huge amount of sensitivity is needed. If those monks who eat meat, had enough sensitivity they would feel a decrease of energy to lower chakras and loosing of clarity in awareness.

Besides meat and eggs, also some happenings in our consciousness decrease awareness, like worries, restlessness, fear, sexual thoughts. To experience that, is totally different to just a belief. Only experiencing lowering of thoughts and emotions, can lead you to a true knowledge.

There are steps in spiritual work. It's like going to a primary school and learning counting from 1-100. Many in Tibet and India blindly practise certain teachings but have no sensitivity to feel tiny changes inside their energetic channels. They speak about meditations but in the meantime they have normal sexual life. How can it be possible to rise energy to higher chakras and to experience ''drunkeness'' if you let that same energy to leak through lower chakras?

I am personally in celibacy for already 15 years and I do not eat any eggs or meat. Not because I believe, but because I've been punished for incorrect spiritual work from the very beginning of my spiritual life. Sex is the most beautiful thing that a person can experience in material life, but, I had to let it go because after every sexual contact, I had experienced bad events.

Nowdays, during the day I exist without any thoughts and emotions in a state of ''drunkeness''. I've been brought to that by huge wish for spiritual progress, and a leadership which presence I feel in my everyday life. Unfortunately nowdays in this civilization in spirituality, those who teach, as well as their pupils, are often ''blind''.

As Christianity has been started by 10 important laws, also in our work there are some important assumptions. To begin some serious spiritual work, celibacy is needed or as much avoiding of sexual relations as it's possible, completely avoiding of meat and eggs from diet, often self retreat and a good work technique (awareness exercises).

If you do not approach truthfully to your wish for advancement, stagnation will happen after successful year or three. Big rise of awareness is impossible if all above conditions are not fulfilled because no matter to a good technique if your ''inner fire'' is weak awareness will not rise. If you use certain groceries who draw energy to lower chakras the same will happen.

To lead a person through a danger spiritual path can only the one who has passed the same, and who has practical knowledge.

I have met many people in celibacy, who have not been using meat or eggs. They've been doing that because they had a belief to their spiritual teacher. That's nice but not enough. It's not enough to believe to your teacher and to have a chaos of thoughts and emotions for the whole day.

There's a good technique needed, to tame the mind, so a person does not have a lot of thoughts and emotions during the day because they weaken the ''inner fire'' and lower awareness to lower chakras so that even a good steps as celibacy and absence of meat and eggs in diet won't give any progress in development of awareness.

What is important to understand is about the key combination of certain things: celibacy, diet, non-presence of thoughts and emotions, powerful ''inner fire'' and clean energetic channels. Average person rarely has powerful ''inner fire''. A person can be physically strong, but to have a weak ''inner fire''.

Only when ''inner fire'' is strong, a person can properly understand awareness exercises and practise them correctly. No matter how car is good, if you do not pour a good fuel in it, the car will not be fast.

Only when ''inner fire'' in awareness is strong, a person will be able to practise awareness exercises correctly and to exist without any thoughts and emotions with a minimal concentration.

In many spiritual systems there are certain exercises for strengthening of ''inner fire'' like correct seating positions, breathing exercises, seating exercises, Yoga and mudra exercises.

It is true that all of those techniques are able to enhance ''inner fire'' but it's necessary to know how much can do each one of them, and also, what is the most important, sensitivity is necessary so that a person can sense and value how much a divine energy has been enhanced in their ''inner fire'' after practising each one of those exercises. That's a normal part of my everyday routine.

Although a person can practise some of those exercises, if there are too much of thoughts or emotions in them, those exercises will not give any important effect in rising of their ''inner fire''.

Far more powerful effect during the day on the ''inner fire'' has a good whole-day meditation of awareness where a mental energy can be saved. Then ''inner fire'' grows fast. You can practise breathing exercises as much as you want, but if you exhaust yourself in sexual intercourses ''inner fire'' and meditations will weaken, with on the other hand, rising of a restless attention with a lot of thoughts and emotions.
