In January of 1984 Michio Kushi gave two lectures on “Understanding Consciousness” in which he extensively explains all aspects of consciousness, it’s origin and how it is formed and develops and what happens during our life and when we pass away. At the end of the lecture Michio explains how, when faced with problems and difficulties in our struggle to achieve our goals, we can reset ourselves and solve all our problems and start our projects and dreams anew and fresh again by doing a simple, yet challenging meditation. This is that meditation:
Michio Kushi:
If you have the things which you can't solve, then meditate.
Meditate, in this case, is meditate and achieve that nothingness.
This is difficult.
At that time, use your hand with this.
Now sit down.
Like this.
Left hand up, right hand down, in this case.
And do this.
Some meditations go left hand down, and this is up.
Like some meditations go like this.
But in these meditations, left up, right.
And you do, after several times, try to be no-thinking.
Don't think.
Don't think “I am meditating.”
Don't think, “I should not think, I should not think.”
Just don't think.
In the beginning, that's difficult.
James Bond comes.
Your lover's image comes.
This and that, you are thinking.
“Oh, I should not think, that way of thinking.”
Many things come.
But train, then,
soon become able to do when you do non-thinking.
Non-thinking.
Right?
Do that five minutes, ten minutes.
Open eyes.
Then comes a new image.
Maybe at that time, still continuing the will, still may arise again, will, book writing (for example), etc.
Then, new format, new idea comes.
So, former various troubles, already you can erase, or you can deform (dissolve), you can change.
Non-thinking meditation.
That means you gain back,
after you create many clouds in the blue sky.
Now you erase that cloud and see again blue sky.
Then again you create as you like, new sky, new clouds.
Second, if you like to do, creating new images,
then your form of [hands] this way, creating.
This way, attach [hands in prayer position].
Heaven's force, Earth's force. Attach.
Creating image.
What you like to do?
Creating image.
And by that, you be one with heaven and earth.
And you think, I like to do that.
Right?
