What is meditation?

You might consider what was intuitively reported in a Renaissance Portrait meditation evaluation during a Spiritual Focus Weekend.

Would suggest that this one begin to perceive meditation as the thoughts that populate this one’s thinking. It is where this one lives moment to moment as much as it is where this one might go to. (10999BGC5)

This idea definitely stimulates us to consider the quality of our thinking and how it is related to meditation rather than being separate from it. Consider that wherever you are in your thinking is your meditation. The question then arises, what quality of meditation do you want? Do you want scattered meditation? unconscious, reactive meditation? blaming meditation? angry meditation?

Or would you prefer meditation that is a highly attuned state of awareness. This is what we usually call meditation and what we reach for in meditation. It is a peaceful state. It is not a passive state but a highly receptive state. In an open state of mind, you are listening or receiving divine energy, divine inspiration, divine guidance. It is a way to listen and commune with God. You want to cause your mind to be very still, open and receiving, as well as attuned and alert so you may listen, watch and expectantly wait to hear the voice of God, see the face of God, and dwell in the mist of God’s presence.

When we meditate we are endeavoring to come into the realm of our true essence or nature. Right now most of us are very far away from our true natures. Some of us have caught a glimpse of or even temporarily dwelt in that sacred place of peace and joy and would like to be there all the time. The outer world still holds too much of a fascination and attraction to us, much more than that inner world of silence. Our senses are bombarded with stimuli from the time we wake up until we go to bed. They keep our days filled with noise and activity that is often shallow, giving us excitement only in the moment and leaving little time for inner search and contemplation.
