MEDITATION

Meditation begins at the ending of a meditator. 

Before that, all it is is another attitude of management. “I will take Nirvana by force of my will using the proper technique and become a happy person.” Ego, the symbolic you, can appear to be a very humble person. It’s a tricky,  imaginary gremlin. But not to be taken lightly. It will become the meditator if you want it to do so.

But the meditator can be ended. By seeing through its veil, not by doing spiritual trickery. Look within into a complete darkness where light is so bright a symbol is blinded and cannot see its way, look with all your attention. In the opinion of the symbolic world that amounts to doing something that has no payoff. In other words, it is being good for nothing. Useless. The world that is not symbolic is a friendly world where action is purposeless. That means the doing is its own reward. That means freedom. That means fulfillment.

As it is, we live in a world of symbols and we are caught there without noticing it has happened to us.  We even call where we live”The Real World”. But we were young when the hypnosis began. We held out but the job became too great for us. So, we gave in.

 A symbolic life is never going to fulfill the human spirit. The True One always does. Once ego ends, a life of meditation begins. It is here we join the real world. It is not necessary to leave the symbolic life only right where you stand withdraw from its ways. One can remain clear and live among those caught in the world of symbols, the political world, enjoying the present moment waiting to be noticed. If noticed, we pass on the truth, using symbols that bind those in the unreal world. Hey, we say, stop taking yourself so seriously!
