When the late great
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. references the
mountain top in one of his infamous and eloquent speeches several
metaphysically related stories come to mind, some reminiscent of a
"mountaintop experience". The mountaintop is a metaphor for a higher state of consciousness that can only be reached and accessed via silence or
meditation. It is described as the way within where all the answers are held. This is that
place of peace that surpasses all understanding.
Jesus had a mountaintop experience in Mark 9:2-3 of the Bible and it
reads, "And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and
John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was
transfigured before them, and his clothes became radiant, intensely
white, as no one on earth could bleach them".
It was also on the top of a mountain in the Biblical book
of Exodus, that God revealed himself to Moses. When Moses came down from
the mountain top, he carried the
Ten Commandments. Moses was also on a
mountain top when God revealed to him the Promised Land and told him he
would not live to see it. Very similar to Dr. Kings' life story. .
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke about his visit to the
mountain top at a rally in support of sanitation workers in Memphis
Tennessee on April 3, 1963. He was assassinated the next day. Dr. King
never got to see the promised land of racial equality and the election
of an African American President. Dr. King never got to physically
experience his prophecy. Just like the story of Moses, the prophesy was
repeated. On January 21, we honor Dr. King with a national
holiday. Here is an excerpt from the "mountaintop" speech.
"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult
days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the
mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long
life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I
just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the
mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may
not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a
people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not
worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the Lord."
The Buddha was also reportedly enlightened on a mountain top according to
The Life of Buddha, by A. Ferdinand Herold, tr. by Paul C Blum [1922], at sacred-texts.com Here is a excerpt of that story:
"Finally, he saw himself at the foot of a mountain of filth and
excrement; he climbed the mountain; he reached the summit; he descended,
and neither the filth nor the excrement had defiled him.He awoke, and
from these dreams he knew that the day had come when, having attained
supreme knowledge, he would become a Buddha." It clearly states he
awoke from these dreams. Dreams are a higher state of consciousness.
Meditation is a vehicle to used to attain a higher state of
consciousness. The filth and excrement represent the negative thoughts held in mind. We can all rise above any situation by turning within.
Metaphysical hypnosis can help.
In each of these examples the mountain top metaphysically represents a
higher state of consciousness. These are but a few examples and you
probably have more. Have you been to the mountaintop? Perhaps you have
experienced your own mountaintop story. One of the greatest tools in
problem solving is the silence.
Albert Einstein said,
You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew".
Meditation and imagination can create miracles. To achieve their great
humanitarian accomplishments, and teach peace, it was necessary for each of these
individuals to look beyond appearances and go within.
They had to be that peace. This is the practice of
meditation. In order to create a space for the outer expression of abundance or
the manifestation of greatness, sometimes called miracles it is necessary to retreat
to state of the nothingness. God works through the individual and
collective consciousness. Seek first the kingdom and everything shall be added to your life. The kingdom is within. Metaphysics, religion, and spirituality, all
are vehicles of seeking that higher consciousness.
Metaphysical hypnosis is one vehicle to achieve inner awareness.
