Transcendental Relaxation  

There is another kind of relaxation  - neither physical nor mental - which is not to be achieved but which can only happen as a result of the deepest possible understanding that the individual entity as the 'me', as opposed to the 'other', truly does not exist.  It is understood that the billions of human beings have no individual volition or choice of decision and action and that they are only uniquely programmed instruments through which the Source or Primal Energy or Consciousness or God functions and brings about such happenings as are supposed to happen according to what might be called a Natural Law or Cosmic Law. The total acceptance of this concept, which one can test in the fire of one's own experience, results in the total acceptance of What-Is as God's Will, which leads to the real relaxation of the body-mind organism leading to enlightenment or Self-realization:  the fictitious ego-entity doer finds himself surrendering to the noumenal Source in its entirety. This is what might be called transcendental relaxation, the sheer Joy of Being.
