By its extraordinary, hidden power, meditation can become the route that leads us into a wider, deeper world – or to the further reaches of this one.
- Meditation is the path that leads us to our innermost self.
Meditation is a place where we can find the most complete knowledge of God (or the force some call God) and our self, and where we learn how the two are both the same and different.
- Meditation techniques can bring the kind of “knowing” that is often called “intuition.”
It is not possible to analyze your meditation journey while you are traveling.
- Like any journey, it is important to enjoy and experience it to the fullest while traveling.
- It is not until later that the effects of the journey reveal themselves in full.
The trust that the process will occur, and produce results, is the key to enabling it to do exactly that.
- As ever, doubt is eminently effective as self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Trust is the key to a successful outcome.
Practicing meditation is not about seeking exotic experiences, but about finding balance, harmony, and true joy in life.
- Each has a different journey.
- Swapping experiences can be useful.
- Judging them is always destructive and impossible.
