Except for the 21 minutes meditation on the morning of 29th June, the remaining 3 sessions are about the silences that are peculiar to a certain sublayer of the deep sleeping mind.

The silences are peculiar, no doubt. Since September of 2025 I have been meditating in the deep-sleeping mind-space. Thanks to regular deposits of blessings, I have advanced within the deep-sleeping mind-space since September.

The strangest part of the deep-sleeping silence is that I can listen to it even after I have had my attention turned outward for many hours before meditation. All the mental chatter about all the new set of difficulties in the new season is silenced in deep-sleep’s silences!

This silence is definitely not the same as the silence that comes by keeping screen time to the minimum. This silence is about knowing that even after all mental chatter is done echoing the news, there is life and consciousness.

Deep-sleeping mind’s silence has strength to it. It is alive. It can flex its consciousness without having to move! Most of all, these blessed silences are a get-away at will from all the thoughts running through all the grooves in my brain.

Unfortunately I haven’t meditated on 28th June. Not even once. Also, I am attempting to write the details for the 27th on the 29th. I shouldn’t try to recall either session that I am trying to write about. That’s because I am sure to remember it wrong.

All my meditation sessions occur at a depth of mind where I can’t quite form memories. In these depths, my fundamental type seems to be undergoing a change but I can’t remember what happened in there.

I have taken Gurudev Paramahansa Yogananda’s suggestion to avoid lifetronic imagery to heart. So not only did I not pay attention to the backdrop of my practice while I practiced but also I refuse to make an effort right now to recall any significant content that made for the background.

I assumed that my fundamental type of mind ran thoughts in brain grooves that have been grooved in through many lifetimes. Life energy as inner peace since the end of year 2022 has undone my nature fundamentally. I can’t help but respond peacefully. I am unable to get angry.

I am getting only mildly, somewhat superficially, disappointed with some realisations about my life and lifestyle. Inner peace has, in about 3 recent sessions, relaxed my breathing to a gentle pause! I am most definitely looking forward to the end of body consciousness in meditation.

In the Mahabharata, long after the Battle of Kurukshetra, in chapter 13, Bhishma finds the right moment to leave his fatally wounded physical self. According to Gurudev Paramahansa Yogananda, Bhishma represents human body consciousness.

Much after the only session yesterday I caught 40 winks from 4:45 PM to 4:55 PM. I regret snoozing. I could very well have meditated for those 10 minutes. Snoozing doesn’t compare to the kind of rest I am receiving in meditation.

I saw an opportunity to meditate that early in the day and grabbed it. A session nearly 4 hours into my morning routine wasn’t supposed to be as deep as it turned out to be. For 2 plus decades of my practice before my attention was granted access to my deep sleeping mind, my mind’s freshly woken state would be a deterrent to meditation.

Due to a habit of possibly many lifetimes, my attention would be ready for the daily fight after coming out of sleep. This subconscious mental habit has changed much in the last few months. Since September of 2025 my attention has learned to sit and not run outward along with every thought.

My attention is able to sit in the motionless deep sleeping mind even when it is not fatigued. My attention doesn’t need sleepiness to launch into the farthest depths of my mind that it has been given access to.

Yesterday’s session is probably the second session ever of its kind. I would practice the meditation technique until there would be no breath to hook my technique to. I would notice that my breathing movement is gone and resume the technique. Then it would happen again. The stillness would still my breathing too.

It is wonderful to be listening to the silences of the motionless deep sleeping mind once again. My attention wasn’t left free of the clutter of lifetronic images but I was able to hear the deep silences of the deep sleeping mind.

There was deep silence in these sessions. The kind of silence that accompanies a certain sublayer of the deep sleeping mind. It is the silence that undoes the mind cluttering effect of lifetronic imagery.

Even though lifetronic imagery is fulfilling in nature, it is imagery. My attention can truly turn the TV off! Allow me to explain.

For lifetimes, my attention has assumed that movement is life. That’s why it has taken me nearly 26 years of meditating to arrive at the knowledge of my deep sleeping mind. It is a mind-space that is motionless but conscious. Since September of 2025 I have been experiencing the motionless parts of my mind. I now know that motionlessness is definitely not lifelessness.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to be granted life enough in this lifetime to have my attention relearn its relation with imagery. No image can stick to a stilled attention.

In a way, all 26 years of my practice have been about my attention overcoming imagery. I have gone from fear motivated solution seeking in my early sessions to being bullied by desires through subconscious dream imagery to peaceful projections of undying desires.

In recent weeks, I have had pooled life energy inside my head fulfilling desires for me through lifetronic imagery. These are desires I didn’t know existed. Lifetronic imagery is the finest of all the types of imagery I have ever had to overcome. Yet, I know that even these are about earthly desires and not divine longings.

There really isn’t much to write about in detail about these three sessions. All three were of the same level of depth. In many recent blogposts I have written about the various aspects of the depth in great detail.

I know that at some point life energy will lead my attention away from lifetronic images to greater stillness. However, that point of time wasn’t arrived at in the three sessions I am writing about.

I won’t be counting the 8 minutes session in today’s title for this writing. That session was short because I had to answer the doorbell. Although short, my attention was tucked well within my deep sleeping mind. It is the sublayer of the mind-space where lifetronic imagery flows in freely.

The first chance I got after the shortly interrupted session, I sat upright one more time. From the first session, I came out with my attention rested in the deep sleeping mind. The second reasonably long session was about spending even more time in the same sublayer of the deep sleeping mind.

Lifetronic imagery is generated by life energy. The other, much older term for life energy is ‘prana’. Life energy is all that has guided my meditation sessions since March of 2020. Of all the energy that was stubbornly tied to my body and mind, an ounce seemed to have become freed back in March of 2020.

Calmness and relaxation can free up life running energy. Once freed, it doesn’t leave immediately. It takes on the role of guiding the meditator to better depths of mind. Right now, prana is generating self fulfilling imagery of absolutely no spiritual significance.

What I have to somehow gain mastery over is to be able to avoid such imagery while meditating. The imagery is compelling due to its pranic origins. I have followed the Energy for more than 6 years now. In avoiding the imagery it is generating, I am trying to unfollow my number 1 meditation guide!

The four o’clock session was full of lifetronic imagery. Since I am committed to avoid lifetronic imagery, I kept going in the session and ended up logging a filling 55 minutes. Also, I couldn’t wait for the circumstances in which I would meditate.

I was getting sleepy with my hobby stitching and I didn’t want to sleep. I wanted one room to be free enough for me to use my sleepiness in order to meditate at my deepest best. And I did meditate in my established deepest best.

The ultra quiet which I have experienced in two or three recent sessions may have been a glimpse into forthcoming depths of mind. The one session from day before yesterday with the spiritual eye in it also seems like a glimpse into forthcoming ultra-stillness of mind.

I may have spent just a few seconds right at the beginning of the afternoon session viewing the spiritual eye. But it didn’t feel like my attention was in the stillness that is required to view the third eye.

Yesterday’s afternoon session may have been the kind that begins with a glimpse into another depth of concentration and then quickly settles into the irreversible best depth that I am capable of.

Both these sessions lacked the depth of the ultra quiet sublayer of the deep sleeping mind. Since I have got a taste of the image-free, motionless sublayer, I missed it during yesterday’s sessions. However, I didn’t miss the depths of the sublayers that are relatively shallow compared to the ultra-quiet zone.

The relatively shallow sublayers have considerable depth of mind to them. There are lifetronic images here that I am yet to outgrow. There are ever changing ‘peculiar “knocking” sounds’ that are on their way to evolve and guide my sessions further. There is the occasional upward jerk to my head due to life energies trying to stream straight out of my head, in line with my straightened spine.

These two sessions lacked that ultra quiet space in my mind that I have been experiencing in many of my sessions recently. In the hours that followed the afternoon session, I felt sure that it was the nap before the session that kept my attention from entering the deeply quiet mind-spaces.

I wasn’t so sure after the late night bedtime session. By the late night session, I was sure that I was entering the session with the right amount of fatigue. My attention fatigued due being awake for many hours is reason enough to for it to launch into the depths where my attention gets the rest it deserves.

It seems like I am in the meditational phase of my decades long practice in which my attention has to learn to make the ultra-quiet and irreversible part of its advancement into my deep sleeping mind. May I keep up practice patiently. Although I write this piece in the morning hours of 17 June 2026, the midnight hour of 15th June is the last that I have meditated.

These two sessions were wonderfully quiet. I had opportunity to experience the quiet of the newly found sublayer within my deep sleeping mind.

It is quiet in the new sublayer of the deep mind because the sublayer is relatively more motionless than the sublayer before it. There is no imagery to deal with in the latest sublayer.

Inner peace seems to have undone nearly all my restlessness! Not only were these two sessions devoid of thoughts but also after the session I looked for discomfort that is commonly associated with generated credit card bills. I couldn’t find associated discomfort.

I know how deep the association has been. After yesterday’s afternoon session, when I tried remembering the discomfort that I am long familiar with, all I felt was a staleness. The discomfort with due-to-be-paid by dates seemed like a stale, considerably faded discomfort!

Do I not operate in survival mode anymore? Like, not at all? That is so unlike me! Am I not me anymore?

Freed life energy had turned into an upward moving stream during meditation between March of 2020 and the very end of year 2022. Then, the stream breached my head. I have known life energy as inner peace ever since.

Since the last days of year 2022 and now (June, 2026) inner peace has helped my attention advance into my deep sleeping mind. Inner peace continues to guide my attention into greater motionlessness with the help of ‘peculiar “knocking” sounds’ as and when inner peace chooses to guide through sound.

Inner peace’s attraction to the deep sleeping mind makes sense. The motionlessness of the deep sleeping mind makes it suitable for the meditator to hear the silences of inner peace. There are entire series of images that aren’t getting formed simply because I have made the conscious effort to avoid lifetronic images.

There has been an advance within the deep sleeping mind. My attention has meditated in the clear waters of inner peace in all of these 3 sessions. It is almost as if my attention has been given access to yet another motionless sublayer of the deep sleeping mind.

The newly discovered sublayer is so motionless in nature that it undoes the existence of lifetronic imagery. It is wonderful to be face to face with inner peace without any intermediary imagery. Just a few sessions back, I had written about the deep sleeping mind as a proportionate receptacle for inner peace.

The sessions for the last two afternoons have been peculiar. I am going to attempt explaining them with a visual analogy. Every once in a while there are fixed camera shots in movies. The main character or main location is held fixed and unmoving while everything around the main object moves rather rapidly through time.

I am pretty sure that if I looked for a gif for such movie shots, I’ll find one. Many times shots like that convey the main character not moving with time. The last two afternoon sessions have been exactly like such movie shots.

My attention has got fixed at the point between the eyebrows with just enough movement to follow inhalations and exhalations. The passage of time in every piece of imagery leaves my attention untouched.

To have my attention fixed at the spot that allows only for it to follow the breath is wonderful. Time stops. The Wikipedia page for Patanjali’s ’Ashtanga (eight limbs of yoga)’, has ‘Dhayna’ as the 7th limb. Here is a copied line from Wikipedia:

‘Dhyana is uninterrupted train of thought, current of cognition, flow of awareness.’

Yesterday’s afternoon session was unusual. Inner peace was liquid again. A few posts back, I have written about inner peace feeling firm.

The fluid or firm texture is granted by the mind-space I happen to be in. Yesterday, life energy as inner peace chose to clean up some more the shallow surface of my waking consciousness.

On the meditation path, the very beginnings of calmness takes away conscious waking control of one’s attention. One hopes and prays for attention to follow feelings of calm from the moment one learns to let go of direct waking control over one’s attention.

Calmness results in freeing up of life energies. The best I have done for the last 6 years in 2 months is to have my attention hook itself to the freed force during my meditation sessions.

Life energy as inner peace chose to clean up my waking consciousness yesterday. I consider myself hugely blessed to be able to follow life energy as inner peace during my meditation sessions.

If my waking mind requires to be prepared for the next steps into my deep sleeping mind, then may I be able to exercise the will to sit for meditation. To observe the blessed force work on my mind is a pleasure by itself.

Yesterday’s only session is typically what I have been referring to as ‘maintenance session’ for many years. These are sessions when one can’t see any progress. One can’t detect any regress either. Sessions like these aren’t exactly filler sessions either.

My physical self isn’t a deterrent to such sessions. Yet, it seems like I went only as far as an older depth of mind. I am familiar with the depth of mind I spend such sessions in. They distinctly lack the glimpse of the new depth that I have been shown recently.

These are sessions that seem like a step backwards but they are not. There is a subtle strengthening of the attention muscle through such sessions. Without the strengthening, the next steps into inward progress isn’t possible.
