Meditation is Not Something You Do
"Meditation is Not Something You Do
Meditation is not something Wizards, Seers and Sages do. Meditation is not a group sport. Being in simple repose in the midst of any and all action, unencumbered, is meditation. It has no form. The Wizard’s way is to surrender doership; surrender reaction. Meditation happens. Meditation is Wisdom. Meditation already is.
When you have a glass full of muddy water, there is nothing you can “do” to make it clear. Let it be and clarity will naturally come about. That is the mechanism of meditation. The clarity is Now, sans distracting stirring thought.
Simply put a capital “M” on the Mystery and trust it. That will release attention that is addicted to the narrator I-thought belief and control issues that steals the show. Naturally allow attention to Segue from the I-thought to one’s simple ground of prior Being. There is no transmission or even presumption of a separate self; just natural seamless stillness as existence; already present, already Now. One is re-cognized as non physical existence and the narrator “I” becomes transparent as the primacy of empty sentient being emerges to the forefront. Allow yourself to do what comes naturally. Be innocent. Everything appears and disappears. See all action as perfect. That is the inclusive pathless path. In relationships, that deep feeling of peace is atonement and contagious. That is sacred Love. True Love is choice-less. Love is not something you do. Seamless Love is what we are.
There are many who traverse the schools of thought, bodily yoga, states of consciousness, mental and energy manipulations and form hierarchical guru-disciple relationships. There are countless such carrot stick schools and learned ignorance. The extraordinary experiences and light shows generated are fascinating and the shifting imaginings are never ending.
Divinity is always in the eye of the beholder. Energy centers open and bloom like flowers. It is exciting and enticing. Experiences come. Experiences go. You will never grasp it. You will never “graduate”. The more you seek these experiences, the more you will suffer.
These experiences are laden with rigid belief, knowership, burdensome doership and inferiority - superiority complexes. They create deep impressions in horizontal memory where their grandeur haunts your attention and holds you captive seeking a return. They are called Samskaras or Vasanas. None of it is really permanent. None of it is real. That is the downside of psychedelics and yogic phenomena. Super illusion is even more of an obstacle, a super Samskara. It is only the bifurcating mind machine on steroids. It is a distraction for Sages, Seers and Wizards. Wisdom says to take the bypass. Come directly home. Renounce doership and all paths. Leave the Yellow Brick Road and Oz behind and come back to the peaceful ordinary Now."
