The mind can, by force of clarity, see the common deep thoughts of mankind as visions

Meditation creates clearness.

The clearness from the dissolved and evaporated thoughts and contents will widen the mind out towards the borders, behind which the collective common human structures are found: the images in time.

These common deep thoughts of mankind, can the mind, by force of its increased clarity – the astral state - see as visions: primordial images, religious images and structures, symbols, wisdom-figures, figures from fairy tales, higher worlds, other dimensions.

In short: the astral worlds.

The task for the Life Artist is about discriminating between language and reality

The task for the Life Artist is about discriminating between language and reality.

The Dominican mystics call this steps discriminatio, the ability to discriminate between how the energy is used temporal or religious.

And despite what kinds of visions you may have, then it is still something temporal, or relatively.

The Orientals call it viveka, discrimination, the ability to use your will on that part of the energy, you can steer yourself, and steer it towards exercises, prayer, mantras, meditation, instead of towards career, worldliness, self-unfolding, as the self-help industry is teaching people to do.
