Gautama Buddha started His spiritual journey by raising His consciousness, every second and every minute of every day, and He was doing so for long seven year. At the beginning, He had to pass through the strata of His own thoughts and emotions, which was a very painful process in itself. When He successfully completed this stage of development, then, he started focusing His concentrated love upwards, and in doing so he started the next stage – which meant penetrating layer by layer in the earthly atmosphere made out of human creations.
Immediately after His awareness was lifted up beyond the lower material atmosphere occupied with the decaying human thoughts, a region of intense light appeared in front of Him and there He found some chaste spirits. A number of Truth seekers with lesser desire for enlightenment were present in this region, feeling in their hearts that they had fulfilled their aim. After returning from this plane, those Truth seekers spoke of Heaven with streets of gold and Angelic choirs – and they felt they had achieved the highlight of their lives. They were indeed honest, it was indeed the Truth they were reporting, but for Gautama Buddha it was not the ultimate.
Guarded by the invisible God’s Presence, Buddha lifted up His consciousness even higher, and He found Himself in the area where beings, who had earned the privilege to live in the higher mental bodies, dwelled during their night sleep. On their come back from that world, they would report about their insights and enlightenments. This was their Truth that they were transferring to their followers. This Truth was extremely beneficial for them, because it was the ultimate experience that their consciousness was able to accommodate without being disturbed.
This was not the ultimate for Gautama Buddha. He pushed further and further until he ended up in the plane of Divine light. It was the region where the Ideas and Thoughts of God were rhytmically pulsating in the ether. Here He mannaged to find only a few amongst the strongest sons and daughters of man. They were there, witnessing the perfection of the world of God’s Ideas and Thoughts. On returning from this world, they were overwhelmed with enthusiasm and zeal, reporting in rapture of the Truth they found. With their inspired speech they attracted many followers amongst the sons and daughters of the earth and they all together were celebrating and rejoicing.
For Beloved Gautama Buddha it was not the ultimate Truth. He went on and on and finally He arrived in the Heart of Love within the Great Presence of Father-Mother-God. Buddha put His head on the shoulder of God and He started witnessing that Love is everything. And when Beloved Gautama Buddha returned He did not say anything – there was no need for Him to say: “I did this or I did that” because He Himself had become Love.
