Let us remember the purpose of Affective Meditation, which is to learn to generate the emotion or state of mind we want to have. When we practice Affective Meditation assiduously and manage to generate the feeling we wanted to generate, we can apply it at any time of life because we become more master of our states of mind.
However, the purpose of Affective Meditation is for us to be the conductor of our emotional system. If at the moment we are nervous, we may be calm. Or when we are distressed, we can feel fullness. Let us take advantage of meditation to use it when we need it.
Also, when facts we face in life lead to reactions that either make us suffer or make the other suffer, Let's take advantage of the mastery that we have learned in affective meditation to see if we are not going to feel it if we are going to feel something else. We are going to feel it now. And when I invoke the Divine Mother, I say two words. And I wouldn't have to go on from there. What is divine, and what is mother? As they say, you must stick to words.
Here I am invoking, I am not continuing, I am not asking for anything, I am not doing anything. I raise my thoughts. Where do I take them? It's not something we can say automatically, like a verse. I'm opening a door to what I don't know. But I have the doorknob, which is the name. I don't know her, but I know her name. And for me, she is a Divine Mother.
Is this what is called potential meditation? It can be...
But, speaking of which, in short, each one must do their meditation, it is not followed by a model. There are only a few references. How one enters this process is specific to each one and their characteristic. Some see things, those who imagine things. Some people don't see it but go inside, and it's the moment of the day when thank God, we can look into the unknown. And this takes away the fear of death. And we don't want to understand anything, achieve anything, get into it.
Returning to meditation, when it is said not to make schemes or to stay there, Don Santiago proposed that sometimes one had to abandon the structure of meditation a little to be able to walk or explore other understandings of meditation. It is not a matter of abandoning it; you must find your way of doing Affective Meditation. However, knowing why it is Affective is vital because, if not, we can forget the purpose of Affective, which is to dominate our emotions and reactions. And that's what Affective Meditation is for.
For something else, there are other meditations. The Discursive is much more flexible in this sense. It gives you much more scope to open doors. There is a door for you to express, a door for you to perceive, and a door for you to be expectant and see what happens.
