Concentration






"If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
-Matthew 6:22





The difference between a Master and an ordinary person is their ability to hold their unwavering focus, the power of their WILL.

These Masters has so developed their Thought, feeling and word focused entirely on God every second. That the entire atomic structure of their body is in their conscious control. Even the beating of their heart is within their control.

A Master could concentrate their entire attention into one thought for a very, very, very long time and never lose it. And that makes them powerful.

In sports, business, war, meditation, hypnosis and science FOCUS is power. You have to keep at it. You have to focus until the manifestation of your goal. Most people don’t have this unwavering focus and they wonder why they don’t achieve much success.

When I was studying Magick, casting spells, agimat and all those stuffs.  I found out that the person needs to do ceremonies or orasyon for a couple of days and hold their focus without breaking their concentration, so that the power will be magnified and will be potent. Some of them do fasting, chant mantras or prayers to help them focus.

In meditation, one of the basic trainings they teach students is to have their focus to a single point. They use prayers, mantras, drumbeats, chanting,  picture of a deity or breathing and other forms that gets the mind to focus its attention. 




"You get more of what you focus on."


In the practice of Magick, one of the training for a beginner is that to Hold the picture/image of what you want for fifteen minutes without drifting or breaking the concentration through undivided focus.

For advance students, the concentrated focus sometimes requires them to hold their thought for days, weeks, or years even. Sometimes it even requires forever. Imagine the power.

Somebody once told me that the very first training for a student to undertake is, mental. That is to have complete control of your thoughts and consciousness and not let it run on random. You must have complete inventory of your thoughts.

One of the best ways of determining, if you have conscious control of your thoughts is to always ask yourself this question: “Why am I thinking this thought?” and if you don't know the reason why then you should control your mind, just like a pet dog don't let it run loose, take a hold of it, before it creates disturbance in other people and most especially yourself.

Most people don’t even have any idea why or what they are thinking. Their mind is like a ship without a captain, just aimlessly drifting in in the ocean. Waiting for the next surge of emotional stimulation. 

Energy and feelings follows Thoughts. Thoughts can never become things unless clothe with feelings.

Here is the challenge. Not everyone could endure such focus. Their mind starts to wander and think about a million random thoughts. That is why the monkey mind of the whole of mankind is in their state right now, just like the changing sands of the desert that could not be still.

                              

                                 "Where your attention is their you are, and that you become."




The monkey mind of a person could also be compared to that of a ranging sea, out of control. Just like a child that changes their attention and keeps on moving all the time, uncontrollable. A true master has control over his mind. As still as the quite sea. Focus is control and control is power.

When you have control over your mind, you have control over your feelings, which gives you control over your emotions then control over your body, atoms, and you control everything.

The challenge to all of us is to develop the focus until the thought about God and holding that picture will be second nature to us, just like breathing.

If you can achieve full control of your mind with undivided, unwavering focus. Then the sky is the limit into the development of your abilities. Imagine the potential.








 "If you chase two rabbits both will escape."



Focus is selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things. When your focus is on God you are sustained with energy, and when your focus is not on God you are drained with energy.

Why the control of thoughts is crucial in the development of the student of life? It is because with the power of thoughts you are able to control your consciousness and the thoughts that gets in your mind.
The aim of this article is to make you realize why problems occur and the nature of it.

When you meditate you only focus on one thing which is God. And when you maintain your undivided attention you achieve focus. Focus is control and control is power over your thoughts.

If you ever find yourself drifting, what I mean by this is for example, you are meditating and giving your full attention to God and then suddenly, a thought got in your mind, it may be about your bills, things to do, food you want to eat or problems the moment you entertain that those thoughts you will lose focus!

The aim of meditation is to help you focus only on one thing only, and that is God. The moment you entertain thoughts that is not unlike God, you lose your concentration! You lose focus, you lose power and control. 

The average person thinks about more than 10,000 thoughts a day. They don't have any conscious control of what they are thinking. They just let the environment dictates to them what they want to think.





"An average man's mind is filled with countless thoughts, and therefore each individual one is extremely weak. When, instead of these many useless thoughts, there appears only one, it is a power in itself and has a wide influence."




Most people who meditate do it wrong. What I mean is when they meditate they entertain thoughts other than God and that is their stumbling block.

When you meditate and focus to your God you allow all your mind to be occupied only with the thoughts of God, It may be thoughts of love, peace, health, abundance, forgiveness or any of the higher virtues and not of the lower ones.

We don't think about our problems, we don't think about money, we don't think about ghosts, we don't think about entities, we don't think about feeling other people's energies. YOU FOCUS ON YOUR SELF. Be Self-centered. YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOUR GOD. 

Saint Germain said that you can't serve 2 masters. That is very true. You only must think and serve your God. The moment you lose your focus to your God and thinks about problems, money, or anything that is not your God, you lose focus and you lose control of your will.

When you meditate you train your power to control the WILL. The Will is very powerful. The Will is so powerful that this will help you in anything you want to accomplish, just like that, consciously.

Below is a video representation of a strong will and a weak will.





It's having undivided focus to a single point which is your God. The moment you entertain thoughts that is not your God you lose control.

When you develop your will the moment you want to do something there is no resistance. When you say I want to stop this or do this, instantly and naturally you can do it.

That is why whenever I meditate and starts to feel or thinks about something that is not my God(I.e. money, problems, your love one that needs healing, rain, food, ghost, spirits, auras colors etc.) I immediately stop it and return my focus naturally back to my God.

You must come to a point that when you sit in meditation you can last for more than 20minutes Thinking Only about your God. Then if you can do it the whole day tremendous transformations will take place.


Another is that, if for example, you are walking in the mall and suddenly you get random thoughts. Always ask yourself why am I thinking these thoughts? Most of the time you don't have conscious control if that happens. Then go back to your God and keep your focus there at all times. What I mean is as you go about your daily work always think about your God.



If you find yourself in meditation and suddenly problems or things seems to bug you, do not give your attention to it! Because it will pull you to its reality, just like as if you throw a net and grabbed the ‘thing’ towards you, and you have nothing to blame but yourself because you lack the will to focus ONLY to your God.

The only way to develop your will power is to keep your focus. On the other hand if you lose focus your Will Power weakens.

 Always keep your attention to God. Always.
