Effects of Meditation:

The meditations taught at The Torkom Saraydarian University (TSG University) follow this ancient tradition.  

Below are excerpts on the subject of meditation. See also free download of  the entire first chapter of The Science of Meditation, "What is Meditation".

"There are ten major signs of success in meditation. They are:

1. Ability to communicate and contact.
2. Ability to cooperate.
3. Ability to increase your viewpoints and reach synthesizing conclusions.
4. Increasing ability to understand.
5. Ability to resign or renounce those hindrances which, in various forms, try to prevent you from creating cooperation and synthesis.
6. Discoveries of new ways to establish right human relations.
7. Ability to align yourself with the currents of higher inspiration.
8. Increasing power to sacrifice for the cause of human progress and the spreading of the Teaching of Wisdom.
9. Development of simplicity and the power to see things in the most simple way.
10. Development of adaptability, by which man is not only used with the best things he has but also is benefitted by the best things others have."

 "Meditation in the New Age is creative thinking through the light of the Intuition and in conformity with the Divine Plan. In the New Age, meditation will involve not only the mystical efforts of humanity, but it will involve, as well, the political, educational, philosophic, artistic, scientific, religious, and economic fields. It will create harmony within and between all these fields under the rhythm of the Divine Plan, of the Divine Will. Thus, meditation will be not only to gain insight, to contact great powers, to have inspiration and joy but also to bring them down to practical life, to transform our life on all levels, healing the wounds of humanity, building bridges and revealing the unity, the synthesis behind all creation."
The Science of Meditation, p. 19

"The purpose of meditation is to annihilate hindrances on the path of this expansion and to make you more aware of your Cosmic relationships and your Cosmic destiny. Meditation leads you into freedom, and instead of being the slave of your egocentric viewpoints and cravings, you become a part or even one with the Cosmic viewpoint. Thus you help to end the misery of all former civilizations which grew out of human tears, sufferings, pain, and blood."

"Meditation is a process of harmonization and attunement with the purpose of the incoming energies form the higher realms and from outer space. Our civilization and culture are the result of our responses and reaction to the incoming energies. These energies may hinder our progress toward liberation if we are not ready to assimilate and translate them through our life and consciousness, or they may stimulate and release our inner glory if we are able to respond to these energies in pure compassion and in active service to our fellow men.

"Meditation prepares us to become sensitive to these incoming energies. It enables us to be charged with them and to translate them in the form of light, love, and will-to-good. This is how a new age man is born, a man who is in tune with the purpose of the incoming energies and with the highest aspirations of humanity."
The Science of Meditation, p. 20

"It is a fact that negative emotions wear out our body, and worries separative and selfish thinking cloud our minds. Meditation releases light upon these three levels, and we start to regenerate our vehicles and radiate vitality, peace, and serenity. Meditation makes you more able in your daily duties and works because it increases your right judgment, sharpens your power of observation, increases your control over your body, quickens your actions and makes them more accurate.
"Meditation gradually cleans you of your glamors to such a degree that you are no longer the slave of your emotions and their effects. Because of this you do not leak energy, you waste no time, and you do your work better and in shorter time."
