Spiritual Secrets of Concentration
By: Arthur Regis
For most of the time, we are barely conscious of what we are about,
because there are so many projects, memories, words and images chasing
each other rapidly through our brains, overlapping and interlacing in a
totally free and chaotic manner.
There are not many people who can decide to devote their attention
exclusively to something if only for an hour, and then keep their
thoughts on track without getting confused or distracted.
There's right! We disperse and dissipate our mental energy all the time.
Sometimes it's possible to concentrate hard in the heat of the moment
perhaps when influenced by a powerful emotions or an urgent necessity.
But even then, you are sumitting to the situation rather than
controlling it.
This is not the deliberate, calm and active kind of concentration Maria
Duval wants to discuss with you here - the kind that opens the doors to
success and achievement.
In this world, there are students who in two hours flat can produce
works that their comrades would find it difficult to accomplish in four
hours.
There are people who when presented with a problem to solve, give it
about fifteen minutes' thought and them come up with the answer.
There are attorneys or lawyers who only start to study their case files
an hour before attending a hearing.
There are surgeons who examine their patient for only ten minutes before
carrying out an operation. And who are capable, during the course of
this operation, of modifying their technique each time a new factor
comes to light.
The truth is that these people perform well because they know how to
focus their mind, quickly and effectively. How do they manage to do
this?? That's what Maria Duval is about to explain briefly.
Concentration is the power to focus all your psychic forces on a single
point at a time, without allowing yourself to be distracted by any
events or situations going on around you, says Maria Duval.
If you get a magnifying glass and allow the sunlight to shine through
it, the light will be focused to such a point that it can burn many
objects and burst into flames. Likewise, if you concentrate on a single
issue as hard as you can, without getting distracted, you will
experience a flash of enlightment. So using this technique, problems
that creep into your mind can be solved after a few minutes of
concentration.
Concentration is the faculty that makes people great. If you want to be
successful, to do something worthwhile and reach the highest rungs of
the social ladder, Maria Duval says it is important that you must learn
to channel your attention, your thoughts, your feelings, your desires
and your will by focusing them to a single point like the sun's rays.
Individuals who become high-flyers in absolutely any field of human
activity, are people who are capable of concentrating their minds. Let
Maria Duval explain the two main aspects of concentration, so that we
can better understand the mechanisms involved:
There is one type of concentration that involves regular practise
sessions, performed using specific places, times and body postures, and
possibly accompanied by certain breathing techniques;
The other type is brought to bear on life itself, as it happens, with
its obvious repetition, but with all its variations and surprises as
well.
Although they can be exercised independently, an esoteric law known as
the law of complementarity in fact links these two types of
concentration because these practices support and reinforce each other.
Understanding and observing this phenomenon is one of the keys to
success.
