ChatGPT conversation: Dissolve into God Meditation

Tell me about Dissolve into God meditation.

"Dissolve into God" meditation refers to a deep spiritual practice where the individual self (ego or separate identity) is surrendered or merged into the infinite divine presence—God, Brahman, or the Absolute. It is common in Advaita Vedanta, Bhakti Yoga, Sufism, and certain mystical Christian and Buddhist traditions. The essence is losing the sense of separateness and realizing oneness with the divine.

Here are key elements often involved:

1. Self-Surrender

You consciously surrender the ego, desires, and identity to God.
The prayer might be: “Let Thy will be done, not mine.”

2. Silent Awareness or Deep Devotion

In Jnana (knowledge) path, it involves silently observing thoughts until all concepts fade, and only pure awareness remains—recognized as God/Brahman.
In Bhakti (devotion) path, one immerses deeply in love for God (e.g., through chanting, prayer, or visualization) until the self disappears into divine love.

3. Loss of "I"

The practitioner enters a state where the individual “I” vanishes—only the presence of the Divine remains.
This is akin to the experience described in deep samadhi or mystical union.

4. Nondual Realization (in Vedanta)

In Advaita Vedanta, it’s not a merging of two separate entities, but realizing there never was a separate self to begin with.
The meditation becomes: “I am not the body, not the mind—I am Brahman.”

Practices that lead to “Dissolve into God”:

Neti-neti (not this, not that) inquiry.
Chanting God’s name (japa) with full absorption.
Contemplating divine qualities until they dominate the mind.
Surrender meditation, silently offering every thought/emotion to God.

Guided Meditation: Dissolving into God

[Preparation]
Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Let your spine be straight but relaxed.
Take a few deep breaths… Inhale… Exhale… Let the body settle into stillness.

[Step 1 – Grounding Awareness]
Bring your attention to your breath.
Feel it gently flowing in… and out…
No need to control it. Just observe.
With each breath, feel yourself becoming more peaceful… more open…

[Step 2 – Invoke the Divine Presence]
Now, bring to mind your idea of God—formless presence, light, a deity you love, or simply pure awareness.
Silently say:

“O Lord, I offer my whole being to You. I seek to dissolve in You, the One Reality.”

Feel God’s presence surrounding you… within you… infinite, vast, loving.

[Step 3 – Letting Go of Identity]
Now say silently:

“I am not the body… not the mind… not this name or form…”
“I am the light of consciousness. I am Yours.”

Feel your sense of self loosening—like a drop of water falling into the ocean.
Let go… let go of all trying… rest in this awareness.

[Step 4 – Merging in Silence]
Now, stop all words. No affirmations. No thoughts.
Just be in the silent presence of God.
If a thought arises, gently let it go. Return to the quiet feeling of I AM… and then let even that fade.
Rest… dissolve… melt into the vast Stillness.

[Optional mantra if needed: “So'ham” – I am That]

[Step 5 – Surrender and Completion]
As the meditation comes to a close, offer all experiences—blissful or blank—to God.
Silently say:

“All is Yours. I am Yours. I am You.”

Gently bring awareness back to your breath… your body…
When ready, open your eyes.
