Meditation is like a mirror that shows us the content of our minds.
For most of us what is reflected in the mirror is a B-grade movie: obvious plot, repetitive, boring lead character, about the past and the future, and mostly negative.
Daily meditation is the practice of watching “our movie” over and over. As the movie is “B-grade”, we naturally lose interest in it and move along to that wonderful field to which the poet Rumi refers:
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about."
Rumi
Meditation leads to better taste in movies.
peace on you,
bob
