These notes are taken straight from Meditations from the Tantras, my battered pink book of many years ownership and sadly, less use. Writing this blog may change all that. Here we go - a picture through statements:
Higher stages of meditation are difficult to attain if we don't remove most of the compulsive fear that we have in the lower mind.
The ideal situation is where an external object is experienced, yet at the same time awareness of oneself is not lost.
The aim of meditation is to give a glimpse of the inner life and eventually to connect it with the outer life.
We are continually in a state of tension because we do not know ourselves (our inner nature). We often do things that are contrary to our nature which causes conflict.
Unity between what we are and what we want would cause meditation to occur spontaneously.
We can experience knowledge as a feeling or emotion. We can mentally feel the truth of an idea or emotionally sense that something is true.
The deeper aspects of life show themselves during meditation.
I am a believer in meditation. I must be, because whenever anyone tells me they have a problem and asks for advice my immediate answer is 'meditate'! (They don't ask me any more.)
