Meditation Is for You

The third layer is the mental layer.

In the pranic layer, you store your desires, or thoughts about how your life should be in the future.

In the mental layer, you store your engrams about how your life shouldn't have been – your guilt! If your energy is flowing continuously towards the future, it is desire. If it is flowing continuously towards the past, it is guilt.

THE EMOTIONAL LAYER AND PAIN SAMSKARAS

The fourth layer is the emotional layer.

Your most powerful emotion is pain. So in this layer, you store all your engrams related to pain.

Understand, the fourth layer is a very powerful layer. In the fourth layer, you don't need any action or information to strengthen the engrams. In the first two layers, you need to do some action to strengthen your engrams. For example, in the case of the desire for vacation, the more you give in to the desire for vacation, the more the desire will be strengthened. In the same way, for the other desires also, the more you enter into action based on those desires, the more the engrams will become strong.

In the case of the third layer, related to guilt and its related engrams, you don't need to do the same action. Just the information or remembrance about that action will strengthen the engram. For example, if you have seen the same place, or if you are seeing the same person, if you are seeing the same situation, immediately those engrams will become strong and they will be awakened.

In the case of the fourth layer, the pain layer, neither do you need action nor do you need information related to pain. So, you don't have to have the same pain again and again. You don't even need to receive information related to that pain. Just the engrams are enough, they can multiply. They can simply expand and multiply.
