Getting Back Into Meditation
You know, this is a difficult question to answer because of
course we cats never fall off the path in the first place. We
cats always make it to Enlightenment in just nine lifetimes.
So I assume that you are asking this question from a multilife
perspective. How does a cat regain the power which he had in
his past lives in order to attain Enlightenment in this life?
I can only answer this question from my own point of view. Every
cat builds up a certain personal power in his early lifetimes,
and in his last lifetimes he must return to that place of power
in order to attain Enlightenment.
In
my early lifetimes I lived in a farmhouse in Connecticut. I
was known as a great martial artist, especially to the mice
who lived in the barn, and to the other cats in the neighborhood.
I built up great personal power practicing my own unique style
of martial arts, and also by finding the perfect spot on the
front porch to go into Samadhi. I spent my first three lifetimes
learning how to stop thought and stop the mice in the barn.
Now,
in this last lifetime I have returned to this place of power--this
old farmhouse--to complete the Enlightenment cycle. My human
doesn't realize it but he has to stay here until I complete
the Enlightenment cycle (although if he makes enough money he
might be able to get a second place in New York so I can be
free of distracting human thoughts a few days a week). When
I meditate on the front porch in the sunlight, I am really drawing
on the power which I put into this place in my past lifetimes.
My human thinks that he picked this place! Ha! What a joke!
Doesn't he realize that it was no mere coincidence that he just
happened to bring me and my brother along when he came to see
the place?
So
if you're a cat and you've fallen off the path--it means you
just haven't returned to your place of power from past lives.
A little "encouragement" and you can use your feline power to
direct your human to the right place. It's just a minor Siddha
for us felines.
