Aruha Meditation – Stage 4 : Letting Go of "Me"

Stage 4 is the final meditation of Aruha Meditation, where even the sense of "me" is released.

Everything exists because "I" exist.
When "I" disappear, my universe disappears as well.

If you have sincerely completed Stage 3, you will already understand what this means.

The essence of Stage 4 is understanding why "me" should be released.
Only when that reason becomes completely clear can you truly let go. Through that sincerity, what is real begins to reveal itself.

■ Method

You may keep your eyes open or closed.

The important thing is to experience the process as though it is actually happening.

Choose whichever image feels most natural to you.
(Examples: Black Hole, Fire, Light, Dissolving, etc.)

① In Your Actual Environment

Front	Place your chosen tool in front of you. Walk into it yourself until the sense of "me" completely disappears.
Back	Repeat in the same way.
Right	Repeat in the same way.
Left	Repeat in the same way.
All	Place the tools simultaneously in front, behind, to the right and to the left. Pause briefly. Recognize that the one standing here contains every "me" that has ever existed, the present "me", and every future "me." Then, walk into the center of all four tools. Continue until the sense of "me" completely disappears.
