Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 The basic principle in meditation is not trying to attain anything; it is complete acceptance. If you had in the past a deep meditative experience, naturally you want to repeat it. This is precisely the pitfall which you must avoid! If you crave for past experiences, you miss the present moment, you bypass the Now. To avoid the danger of overlooking What Is, we do not create a desire to reach any state, any experience. But at the same time, being fully present, we relax into What Is. We make ourselves available to the mystery of the Now. [As you are breathing, your breath is slow and deep. You become one with breathing. You are not watching the breath, but you are the breath. Watching is a mistaken concept, which create a split in the internal reality of I Am.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
