Q'uote of the Day
April 12th, 2008
"The habit of meditation is, like any other habit, one which is learned through repetition. There is often the concept of meditation as being a complete blanking out of the mind and a resting in heavenly bliss. Yet we would say to you…that you will also have a fruitful and helpful meditation spending your time in silence, watching your thoughts arise and allowing them to fall, watching them arise and allowing them to fall away, watching them arise and allowing them once again, and once again, to fall away… The seeming turbulence of the surface of the mind does not in any way keep your deeper mind from realizing your intention to focus your will upon the seeking of the communication that is in the silence. And bolstered by this awareness of your intention and the setting of your will, your deeper self will use that meditation time just as it would if your outer experience were completely peaceful."

They always compare this turbulent vs still mind to the sea.... on the surface with all the waves and such, it can be quite stormy. But go deeper and deeper there is always this stillness and calm.
And in regards to emotions they wrote similar - if you stay on the surface of the emotions they carry you away. But go to the center, go deeper and deeper and you will be undisturbed and in calm too .... also in regards to yesterdays q'uote
And re the setting and awareness of intention, remember how I talked about my loudness distortion the other day...
I was able to get a glimpse of that the other morning. I was not yet awake but however not completely in sleep or dream either and my mind was focused with some "remembrance of a dream"... so that it took a while until i realized that there was (again!!) some nasty noise outside coming from the construction site. But that noise must have been there a while before I noticed it - it was there but the mind did not jump on it immediately. So I guess that is what it must be like to be aware on some other layer of mind but undisturbed by something....
allowing it to be there with out being carried away by it
happy sunday everyone ! And thank you for letting me write down my thoughts on the quotes. You have no idea how helpful that is for an unregulated lazy meditator like myself - it is like thru the writing down it helps me focus more. So THANK YOU ALL ye lovely fellow posters and readers
