Living in harmony with the Infinite Energy Field

Why Infinite Awareness Meditation Must Flow Through the Three Timeless Processes

In the lineage of the great wisdom traditions, every authentic path to realization is not just about hearing a teaching or practicing a technique. True transformation requires a progressive deepening—an inner ripening—guided by three essential processes.

In Infinite Awareness Meditation, everything we explore and experience moves through these same ancient steps:

Śravaṇa → Manana → Nididhyāsana
or, in the language of the Buddha,
Sutta-mayā paññā → Cintā-mayā paññā → Bhāvanā-mayā paññā

This triad is universal. It is the way the mind opens, the heart stabilizes, and awareness dissolves its own boundaries. Below is a simple guide to these three stages and why they are foundational to all aspects of Infinite Awareness Meditation.

1. Śravana / Sutta-mayā paññā — Receiving the Teaching

This is the first contact with the truth.
Śravana means listening, encountering, or being exposed to the teaching in its pure form. In the Buddha’s language, sutta-mayā paññā refers to wisdom that arises from hearing or reading the teachings.

In Infinite Awareness Meditation, this is where we:

  • Receive the concepts and foundational pointers
  • Understand the structure of the practice
  • Recognize the possibility of awakening
  • Allow new perspectives to enter the mind without resistance

Śravana plants the seed.
It opens the door.

2. Manana / Cintā-mayā paññā — Reflecting, Clarifying, Understanding

Once the seed is planted, it must be understood deeply.
Manana is the process of reflective inquiry, where the teaching is chewed on, questioned, examined, and absorbed at an intellectual and intuitive level.

Cintā-mayā paññā is the wisdom that arises from contemplation and reasoning.

Within Infinite Awareness Meditation, this stage involves:

  • Investigating the teachings from your own experience
  • Clearing doubts
  • Seeing the logic of truth for yourself
  • Aligning the mind with the heart

Manana transforms the seed of knowledge into insight.
The teachings become your own.

3. Nididhyāsana / Bhāvanā-mayā paññā — Direct Meditation, Embodiment, Realization

This is the stage where knowledge becomes lived reality.
Nididhyāsana means deep, sustained meditation—resting in the truth repeatedly until it becomes the natural state.

Bhāvanā-mayā paññā is the wisdom born of direct cultivation and meditative absorption.

In Infinite Awareness Meditation, this is where we:

  • Practice the technique consistently
  • Rest in pure awareness without effort
  • Dissolve identification with thought
  • Stabilize presence as our true nature

Nididhyāsana turns insight into transformation.
It completes the journey by making wisdom a lived experience.

Why All Three Are Essential

These three processes are not optional—they form a living cycle:

  • Without Śravana, there is no clear direction.
  • Without Manana, the mind never digests the teaching.
  • Without Nididhyāsana, the insight never becomes real life.

Infinite Awareness Meditation honors this timeless structure because it is the natural progression of awakening. Each step reinforces the others, creating a path that is grounded, experiential, and complete.

In Summary

Infinite Awareness Meditation is not merely a practice.
It is a path of learning, understanding, and becoming.

To truly enter the space of Infinite Awareness, everything must pass through:

1. Śravana — Hearing the Truth

2. Manana — Understanding the Truth

3. Nididhyāsana — Becoming the Truth

This is the ancient rhythm of awakening.
This is the journey we walk together.

    Beyond the Subconscious

    It all begins with silence.
    Not the kind that comes at night when the city falls quiet, but a different kind—an inner, transparent silence
    in which there is not even a whisper of thought.
    You stand at the edge of your own mind, and the world,
    which has always been so confident and solid, begins to dissolve into thin air.
    You are still breathing, but it feels like it is not your breath.
    You are still thinking, but the thoughts no longer belong to you.
    And then the question arises — not “what is there,” but who remains when everything else disappears.
    The subconscious is a garden overgrown with the roots of memory.
    Each root is an image, a fear, a memory, a trace of pain, a shadow of desire.
    You go deeper and deeper, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets.
    There is no time here.
    The usual cause-and-effect relationships do not apply here.
    Here, every movement of the soul causes a response in the very fabric of space.
    You see images — not your own, but ancient ones. Faces that lived long before you.
    You feel not only your own pain, but the pain of humanity.
    This is the subconscious: a common archive of everything that has been experienced and forgotten.
    But if you go further, if you are not afraid of this abyss,
    in which the shadows of your ancestors float, you approach the limit —
    and then the unknown begins.
    What lies beyond the subconscious cannot be named.
    Because any name becomes a wall separating what is essentially one.
    You enter a space where there are no more thoughts, no more images, not even yourself.
    Consciousness does not know where to go because there are no more familiar landmarks.
    You do not observe — you are.
    You are not a body, not a personality, not a story.
    You are breath without a breather.
    You are light before light, presence without form.
    Here, even the desire to understand disappears.
    Understanding requires two — the one who understands and the one who must be understood.
    And here there is only one left — the one who has always been there, but whom we have forgotten in the noise of the mind.
    Many are afraid of this word — emptiness.
    But what opens up here is neither cold nor scary.
    It is silence in which everything is possible.
    It is an abyss filled with meaning.
    If the subconscious is an ocean in which forms float,
    then beyond it is the source of water, where even the ocean has not yet been born.
    Here there is no division between light and darkness, good and evil, “I” and “world.”
    Everything merges into one breath, one impulse that pulsates in everything.
    You understand: everything you called yourself is just a wave on the surface of this field.
    And what you are looking for is the field itself, boundless and eternal.
    At this point, the personality cannot withstand it.
    It is created from boundaries — a name, a biography, fear, hope.
    And here there is nothing to hold on to.
    Therefore, the “I” begins to crumble like sand carried away by the wind.
    At first, there is terror:
    If I disappear, who will live?
    But then you see that the one who fears disappearance is the dream itself.
    And when the dream ends, what never slept awakens.
    You do not lose yourself — you return.
    You do not disappear — you reveal yourself.
    You do not die — you cease to be separate.
    It is better to read Between Thoughts not in excerpts, but sequentially — this way, the intention and movement of meanings are revealed more deeply.
    Beyond the subconscious is not darkness, but a silent light that cannot be seen with the eyes.
    It does not shine, it does not blind — it simply is.
    It is the light from which everything is born — from thoughts to galaxies.
    The light that is both inside you and around everything.
    When you first feel it, it seems familiar.
    You cannot explain why, but you know:
    You have always been here.
    You just forgot.
    And now you are returning.
    Once again, there is a body, breath, words.
    The world is dense again, the mind is searching for meaning again.
    But now you know that behind all this is boundless silence that belongs to no one.
    You can suffer, rejoice, dream, love, and fear again.
    But not seriously anymore.
    Because deep inside, there is a memory that nothing happens,
    and everything that happens is just the breath of a single consciousness playing at forgetfulness.
    Beyond the subconscious, there is neither God nor man — there is no division at all.
    There is everything before it becomes something.
    And perhaps that is where every dream, every desire, every love strives — to the source where everything began and everything will end.
    We do not die when the body disappears.
    We die every time we identify ourselves with a thought.
    And we are reborn when we are silent.

    I’ve been practicing the Infinite Awareness Meditation for many years, and it has brought me so much. I first began practicing this meditation at home, in a chair, and even while waiting in line at the supermarket. Step by step, I started using it in more challenging situations, and I began to feel more rooted and stronger.

    The Sunday teachings gave me a sense of stability and trust—in both the process and in myself. Over time, this practice became a way of life. I had to surrender to the process, trusting that I was following the path that was meant for me. As I continued, I noticed that I began moving more in tune with the life both within and around me.

    For a while, I stopped attending the Sunday teachings. During that time, I didn’t feel that the sessions were offering the teachings I needed; they seemed more like meditation sessions. The time change to early Sunday mornings, which was the only day I could sleep in and have breakfast with my children, also played a role. I continued practicing on my own but felt that I was missing “the food” to help me grow further.

    When I decided to return to the Sunday sessions, I woke up on time without needing an alarm. I noticed significant growth and a deeper connection to the practice. I also felt freer to share my process—like peeling away the layers of an onion.

    Now, after reading about the stages in the process, I recognize each one. Memories flood back of the steps I’ve taken along the way. Wow!

    The most difficult part of my journey was when I asked my higher self for a new job—one that would be more in alignment with where I am now. I took this request with me into the IAM. An hour later, I came across a job posting that appeared to me in a very special way. The job wasn’t at the same level as my previous one; it was more basic and in the psychiatric field, which was new to me.

    I had to move through a lot making this step, moving from a leadership role to a job where I worked directly with clients in a group setting, supporting them in daily living at a clinic for psychological and psychiatric treatment. I shared my thoughts and feelings about it with Infiniii. “Keep releasing” he told me again and again. “Every thought about it. Every feeling about it. Let the Infinite Awarenes meditation flow and do its job.” I moved through it in full trust that I had to follow the impulse I got from above.

    At first, I didn’t understand why I had to take this job, but now I do. Bringing in the field of the Infinite Awareness over there. And it works. It is making a difference.

    I’ve been in this role for 9 months now and feel more able to trust the IAM and surrender to it—most of the time.

    Now, I’m in a phase where I am manifesting what I want to live for in my life. Last month, I felt drawn to go with a group to the Amazon. I didn’t have the money, but I spoke it out loud—and, just in time, it came to me in the most beautiful, unexpected way.

    I’ve learned that I need to return to the basic principles of the practice from time to time, and now the flow feels like a river moving through me—calm and steady. When needed, I let it flow stronger and intensify the practice. I am incredibly grateful for all of this.

    I recommend that everyone step into this journey, move through the stages described above, reach out for support, and share your process so you can grow and move more and more in your natural flow, manifesting everything that is meant for you.

    My journey has evolved from “living my life” to “living my life in flow, with trust,” and now to “letting my life flow, manifesting it with full trust and surrender.”
