Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
True meditation gives us, as it were, wings for flight to a higher realm and thus detaches us from terrestrial fetters.
Meditation is silence. If you realize that you really know nothing, then you will be truly meditating. Such truthfulness is the right soil for silence. Silence is meditation.
Meditation is not something that should be done in a particular position at a particular time. It is an awareness and an attitude that must persist throughout the day.
We spend a great deal of time telling God what we think should be done, and not enough time waiting in the stillness for God to tell us what to do.
Meditation provides a way of learning how to let go. As we sit, the self we've been trying to construct and make into a nice, neat package continues to unravel.
At the beginning of every winter people are careful to install storm windows.These extra panes of glass protect their houses against the bitter winds. We do something very similar to protect our minds through the practice of meditation.
In meditation, you are calm and receptive. You are like an open door providing a kind of cross ventilation so that the air of divinity can move through you.
The you that goes in one side of the meditation experience is not the same you that comes out the other side.
