Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
Meditation explained by the Theravada Monk Ajahn Brahm is maybe the best way i found Meditation explained.
And yes out of my own experience in meditation i can say this explenation does seem to be correct,
But so far i have not come to the end part of what is explained here.
Meditation can well be summarized as going into the
center of things. One goes first to the center of time, called
the “now.” Then into the center of the now that is free of all
thought. Then into the center of the body with one’s breath.
Then into the center of the breath, which is the beautiful
breath. Then into the center of the beautiful breath, where
one experiences the nimitta. Then into the center of the
nimitta to enter the first jhāna. Then into the center of the
first jhāna, which is the second jhāna, and so on. This is
yoniso manasikāra, “work of the mind that goes to the
source.” As one goes deeper into the source of body and
mind, one comes to the source of will, the seat of the doer,
the citadel in which potential doing abides. And one sees it
all empty of a self.
Any thoughts?
