Piccadilly Hotel--LastMinute. com
There are many explanations in the dictionaries regarding the word transcendental going from a realm that is spiritual to an experience not easily or not having a meaning or logical or simply outside one's normal mind set of experiences.
Be that as it may my understanding of this relates to the SHACK's preceding this in the 'place' 'experience' ' beyond thought' where there is an absence of thought, mentation and understanding.
My great friend and one of my many mentors was Roy Morris and we walking in Piccadilly in London and we came across a notice on a hotel, should my memory serve me correct it was the Piccadilly Hotel 'Transcendental Meditation' and I have described the experience elsewhere in this site and what the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said to Roy and I.
Roy and his wife Rina joined the meditation and got the mantra and I preferred to do the meditation that Sensei had suggested and I was going out of Japanese Martial Arts(actually they were not martial) the way they taught was to be mindful whilst in physical practice and in sitting in Za Zen and in life and then went into the Chinese Arts of Taichi, Kung Fu and now Qi Gong and found a Sifu, again I have written on this in this site, such as SHACK's 69, 70, 71, 81, 101, 121 these are mainly about Sensei.
The Maharishi when leading one into meditation at free lectures would say go 'down' down' down' and breathing and sitting near him his eyes seem lose their shine and he would seem to go deep and somewhere else and he could and did draw people into that sinking down and out, many fell asleep. I felt at times to up and out and expand, I am sure other than devotees who had been initiated into their mantra, which consisted of looking at in the mind and spinning it and following it down to the point which I was told one fell off into bliss and just before one fell off so to speak, should one make a wish then it could by constant repetition would manifest.
I was fortunate as a non devotee to have talks with Mahesh and I put it to him the 'bit before one fell off and wished 'could relate to the creative fount of the Universe' he sort of agreed and said there were no adequate words to describe this consciousness.
I would say now this is akin to the 'wood breaking' as in SHACK '69--70 --and so on above and now to the Quantum 'Realms' where there is every possibility and probability and the two split / slit experiment explained beautifully in the cartoon and yet very serious and informative by the cartoon character 'Dr Quantum' and the observer effect, oh I can hear the howls of derision from Academia yet I plough on.
So a quote from the bible 'Peace I leave you not as the world knows peace but that peace that passes all understanding'. Many in meditation have felt that glow of the peace when thought subsides and I have attempted to touch on in the last few articles and to me that is transcendental not as method of meditation but where it leaves one.
One may now ponder who is this one?
