Ponder there questions:

  • How would meditation make you more "true" than you already are?
  • What missing ingredient you don't posses as a being that meditation could give you?
  • How meditation could make you more aware than aware?
  • How you could be more than your current being with meditation?
  • Would you be less you if you would not meditate?

And the answer i'll give you is: Yes.

Meditation initiates the purification process. When you start you have a lot of thought stories going on automatically, the thought stories just won't stop. 

After a while of meditating, thoughts diminish. You start being more relaxed.  You become more aware of consciousness that is residing in the present moment. When you are fully present, no thoughts are present. As awareness increases the True Self - Being- Consciousness - Soul that is residing in the now moment starts to activate and you start having a more expansive experience of life. You experience more.

The more purified the mind and body, the less resistance there is for the integration and embodiment of the True Self.

So yes, meditation makes you more conscious.

Meditation is training to do the mindfulness required to raise your awareness.  Enlightenment is a word that refers to the process of raising awareness, especially in the higher-stages of awareness.

Meditation is a tool from taking your mind out of symbolic consciousness into non-symbolic consciousness.

When you're in non-symbolic consciousness, the insight of enlightenment (no-self) becomes much more likely to dawn. Although there are no guarantees.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Meditation quiets and stills the internal environment, so there is less distraction.

Distraction hinders seeing what is right now.  To realize what is as it is right now is enlightenment.
