Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 " Notice the difference between being lost in some mind drama, and then recognizing it as just a thought. Instead of judging the fact that we were lost, we can delight in the experience of waking up. Often people misunderstand this point of practice, having the idea that meditation means never having any thoughts. The aim of practice, though, is not that; it is to be aware of thoughts, rather than to be lost in them. Of course one of the consequences of this awareness is that we often see these thoughts quickly dissolve, precisely because we are not lost in them and thus unknowingly feeding them.
