I tried meditating in Church once
too much singing, Hallelujiahs and stand up/ sit down goings on
squirrel prefers hanging out on the branch in solitude
why escape the thoughts ?
why not invite them in and ask questions ?
there is a time for everything a time for thinking and a
time for not thinking. do not believe everything you think.
meditation goes beyond thought. because when we cast away our thoughts and
enter deeper states of conscious. when we experience peace love and bliss... we go beyond the. apparatus of thought. when thoughts come back and thinking comes back we we re-enter human consciousness. we must get beyond ourselves to reach higher states of consciousness; this includes getting beyond our thoughts. for as we think we are in our body we also think we are in our thoughts.
yet in reality we are much much more.
