"Without the art of Being on the level of experience, when the process of experience brings the subject in contact with the object, then the subject, without the state of Being, becomes so fully identified with the object that the impression of the value of the object becomes very strong in the mind. This impression of the experience is held fast in the mind as a seed for future desire for the same experience. This is how the cycle of experience, impression, desire -- experience, impression, desire -- continues to be, and the cycle of birth and death is thus continued. In order to understand the cycle of birth and death caused by the impression of the experience, it should first be understood that the cause of rebirth is the unfulfilled desires of the past life. If a man wants to accomplish this or that and fails to do so before the body ceases to function, he dies unfulfilled. Because of his unfulfillment the inner man (mind) goes to create another body through which that unfulfilled desire of the past life may be fulfilled.... The maintenance of Being at the level of experience does not allow a deep impression of the object on the mind; the impression is just enough to give the experience of the object, just enough to allow the perception to be. Because the mind is full of the value of Being and Being in Its nature is bliss consciousness, the impressions of the experience of the transitory nature of the objects naturally fail to make a great impression in the mind. The impression is not deep enough to work as a seed for future action....It is like the impression of a line on water which is drawn but simultaneously erased....Without Being in the mind, the impression of the object is like the impression of a line drawn on stone, difficult to erase.... It is the technique of Transcendental Meditation that establishes Being in the mind and naturally allows it to live the value of Being along with the values of the outer experiences. Thus we find that the art of Being on the level of experience finds it fulfillment in the regular and steady practice of Transcendental Meditation." ------------------------ Yahoo!
