Meditation
- Meditation is something that is indigenous to the heart, which makes it hard to talk about. We don't necessarily need to talk about it too much other than to get a sense of the practice.
- If we get too caught up in the rhetoric of meditation, we will miss the point. The point was to go beyond rhetoric.
- When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door.
- If you seek the realms of light, the best thing to do is to meditate with love and the gentle aliveness. Meditation should not be forced.
- Through the practice of concentration and various techniques, we silence the mind and we enter into a flow of perfect light. We go outside of the parameters of mind and thought and experience nirvana.
- People who meditate seek good moments forever. They know that there are other worlds beyond this world. They feel it. I experience those worlds when I meditate.
- Reading books about enlightenment does not make you enlightened at all. You have to meditate yourself.
- We see in meditation that our experiences are endless, that we are endless, eternal spirit, not as a thought or an idea you read in a book. You have the experience yourself, every day.
- There are billions of people out there walking around and they don't meditate. You can tell. They are not having a good time with their lives. People are not happy.
- This is a world of unhappy beings. They don't understand how simple it is to be happy. You just have to practice meditation. To meditate is to be happy.
- Each time you meditate, you create a stronger connection with the world of inner light and happiness that exists within you.
- Happiness is found principally in meditation.
- Happiness has to do with how quickly you vibrate. Meditation is a process of speeding up the vibration.
- It is not simply a transient happiness that you experience in meditation that creates balance; it is a transformative light. Inner light is the most powerful thing there is.
- In meditation all the fake dull thoughts that you think, all the ridiculous philosophies, the necessities, all the things that won't matter a bit when you are dead - fade away.
- Meditate and bathe in the light of eternity. Nothing else is worthwhile.
- Some people are drawn to meditation without knowing why. Their inner being realizes that they've totally fouled up their life so far, and now it's just going to drag them to the local meditation hall.
- Some people meditate because they are sick and tired of their life, of the world, of the way people abuse each other and abrogate each other's freedoms.
- Some people meditate because they want to get the larger picture on life. It could get kind of discouraging if this was all there was.
- Some people meditate because they need more energy and when you meditate you get a tremendous amount of energy.
- The place that you gain the most power is within your own mind. Stopping thought generates power. That is why people meditate. The longer you can stop thought, the more power you gain.
- You need energy and life force to see and feel what you need to do. Otherwise you are in a dark room and you can't tell what's going on. You need to practice meditation.
- When you meditate properly you are able to take your mind and merge it with the cosmos. Essentially, this causes your IQ to increase.
- Meditation is not for everybody. When you meditate you become conscious. Most people don't want to be too conscious because they are afraid of awareness, of death, and of being happy.
- You start meditation as an average human being who is filled with vagueness and not much purpose or definition, who is controlled by their desires, your mind spins all over the place, your senses spin all over the place, out of control.
- The mind is like a lake. It reflects eternity when it's very still. If ripples appear, lots of them, then the reflection is not clear. We lose the clarity of the perfect reflection.
- Learn to meditate. It's fun. It will give you a strong, wonderful mind.
- There is a spirit that guides us, if we will listen. It speaks softly. In order to hear it we must still our thoughts and meditate.
- Even after only several weeks of practicing meditation, you will begin to have more energy and be a little bit happier. Eventually, you will experience ecstasy and knowledge beyond the power of words to describe!
- You become someone else when you meditate. It isn't just a little technique. If you really pursue it, you change radically - you evolve.
- When you meditate you are accessing eternity. You are plugging yourself into that source which is all light and all beauty and all perfection.
- Beginning meditation is a process of unhooking ourselves from thought, being motivated to meditate. It is very exciting in the beginning because we see the tremendous jumps we make in awareness.
- Meditation is a process of liquefying the self temporarily and then allowing the self to rebind. The ice melts and then it comes back again.
- If we are in the same state of mind, we just self-reflect, things are dull and gray and kind of boring.
- When you start to meditate, if you stick with it, you will see tremendous changes in your life and state of mind.
- As your meditation practice improves from month to month, more and more light and ecstasy will spill over into the moments of your daily life. Eventually you will always exist in a state of continual light.
- For years we practice meditation, like any art, and we get better at it each day. In the beginning it's just enough for us to sit down and focus our attention.
- If you meditate, then the real miracle is the transformation of your awareness field beyond the body. Beyond the body there are oceans of light, continents of light, universes of light. Meditation frees you from this world.
- The good news is that you don't have to stop thoughts completely to meditate. It takes a long time to stop thought impeccably. What you need is to detach yourself from thought.
- When there is no thought in the mind, no thought of thought, when the mind is quiet but fully alert, we experience a little bit of enlightenment.
- Through the practice of meditation and Buddhism, as you experience light, it immediately delights you.
- Learn to meditate, practice and don't get frustrated. It will take you years to learn to meditate perfectly. Every time you try, you are growing. It's not as if you have to meditate perfectly to make progress.
- Meditation is not impractical or unrealistic, nor is it difficult to integrate with any lifestyle or age, in that it's timeless, although it occurs in time.
- If you meditate your mind will become razor sharp. Your memory and retention will be superb. New talents and abilities will begin to unfold. You will become younger each day, yet wiser.
- People who meditate deeply find wonderful things happening in their life all the time.
- When you meditate, you take charge of your life. You bring your conscious awareness to a new high point, where the vista is beyond any horizon.
- Meditation gives you personal power. You will notice that people will treat you differently as you progress because they can feel that power. Use that power wisely. If you search your heart, I think you will.
- If you pursue meditation with a non-competitive attitude, with a hopeful and helpful attitude, without violence, then you will find that you will become a very benign and powerful being, one who is at peace with himself and the universe.
- When you meditate, you will care more for those around you and you will be able to do more for them, as your own awareness advances. Everyone who comes into your field of energy is positively influenced.
- As you meditate, you'll develop a sense of humor so that you can laugh at yourself, which you need to do in this world.
- Learn to control your emotions. Be able to glide through them. By practicing concentration exercises and meditation, you will find that when strong emotions strike, you will gain the ability to not be swayed by them.
- As you meditate, you will be able to look at the beauties and horrors of life and accept them with an equal mind. You will love more and be kinder to those around you.
- Meditation will give you the power to overcome fear. As you sit and meditate each day, it makes you stronger. The energy of the universe flows through your mind, your body, and your life.
- With the power of one's will we stop thought and move into alternate forms of perception. We gain that power through practicing very, very, very hard each day when we meditate to stop our thoughts.
- When we meditate and we are able to stop thought, we get a sense of being beyond the body. Our consciousness expands and we see ourselves as beings of light.
- The period of meditation is a time when we go back to the source. We go back to what we were before we were born.
- If there were no world, no time, no space, no condition, if none of us existed, that would be meditation.
