Don’t fight with your thoughts or try to suppress them with your will. This will only frustrate you and bind you to your thoughts even more strongly.
Our thoughts will swim around and talk to us while we’re sitting there, make fun of us, ignore us. But if you pay attention, if you don’t look in the direction of your thoughts, you meditate.
Stopping thought also involves shifting your values. Thought is stimulated by ideas that we have about life and the world.
We were imprinted with a value system as young children. The sensory experiences of life can trigger and stimulate a variety of associative thoughts and ideas.
Your mind is turbulent because you’re filled with desires, frustrations. You want too many things. You are afraid of too many things. It is necessary to overcome both attraction and repulsion to still the mind.
I observe many people who say they are meditating, but I sure don’t see them meditating. They sit and touch a lot of people, places and things psychically, but they sure don’t meditate.
Whatever you focus on during meditation, you psychically travel to and touch. In meditation, when you think of somebody, you actually go into their aura. That is the issue. Keep your meditation pristine, unalloyed.
When a lot of people meditate what they do is they’re thinking about other people. This is a terrible mistake. If you do this, stop!
If you focus on another person you take their energy in your body completely.
If you allow people, places and things, to pass through your mind during meditation, you will pull in all those other auras and you be much more confused and dissociated than you were prior to your meditation experience.
If you start picking up other people’s impressions while you are meditating, then instead of clearing yourself, you are just going to completely glom yourself up to the point where there is no meditation.
When your mind drifts away from one of the secret meditation techniques, do not become upset or frustrated. Gently move your mind back to the technique you were practicing and begin again.
Only when there are no impressions of others clouding our mind, can we sit and practice the glorious practice of meditation.
People focus on things that vibrate very slowly during meditation and because they are so open they make themselves really sick, psychically.
Meditation will do you a disservice. It will confuse you more than clarify you. It will bring tremendous impurity in you – if you are allowing your mind to wander during the empowered experience.
Many people, including Buddhist monks, spend thousands of hours sitting in what they call meditation. In reality, what they’re doing is thinking and ruminating upon their problems.
When you are meditating, thinking about things in this world is not going to help you. Instead, forget about everything for a while and look at something that is perfect, this will help you deal with the world better.
Once you’ve done that, push the thought of no thought away.
Love is the shortcut to meditation. Above thought is love, and within and below thought is love. Love is a ladder that we can climb through thought.
Instead of tryig to stop thought when you meditate, focus your attention on love. Suddenly you’ll find your thoughts are slacking. Light is everywhere and suddenly there is no thought.
