Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

meditation is simple


We make this whole meditation thing much too complicated … it's really quite simple.

By simple I mean: 

To see clearly you must be empty (free of your ideas about how things "ought" to be). 

Meditation is emptying ... give it a try for a few minutes each day.  That is: sit in Silence and notice what arises in your consciousness. Resist nothing, cling to nothing, remember nothing.

What you notice will eventually disappear leaving space (or emptiness if you prefer that word).  From your new perspective of space, it becomes clear that nothing whatsoever is yours! This is what is meant by seeing clearly.

(Quran 39:62) GOD is the creator of all things, and He alone has the power to determine the fate of all things.

peace on you,
bob
