Meditation is finding out who we are, not about floating of into
some imaginary pink cloud. As we
bring awareness to our lives we notice that
this sense of self which is always needing something is actually a mental construct that exists only in
our heads. It is the belief in this
self that makes us feel separate from life and so we endeavour desperately to find meaning in it as
compensation. Whilst we are trying to find meaning to our life, we miss life. We turn from the wonder of life in all its
glory to worrying about it because it's
not going as we expect it to from the viewpoint of our own personal fears and desires. We try desperately to get
life to give us meaning and happiness,
when actually our life must be be an expression of meaning, and an expression of our happiness. |
