HOW DO I PRACTICE MEDITATION?
Q: How do I practice meditation?
A: I am not a meditation instructor.
Q: Do you meditate?
A: No.
Q: I’ve heard that there are many health benefits to meditation.
A: I understand.
Q: Do you think meditation has any benefits?
A: Yes.
Q: What?
A: It can help a person feel a bit calmer. And somewhat recharged. There are likely also physiologic health benefits as you mentioned.
Q: Then why don’t you meditate?
A: I do not do things purely for health.
Q: Why not?
A: It isn’t a sufficiently powerful motivator for me.
Q: What do you think is more powerful?
A: Meditativeness.
Q: What’s that?
A: To be lost in what you are doing.
Q: Isn’t that mindfulness?
A: Mindfulness is forced awareness. To be lost in what you are doing is to lose the self. Instead of trying to improve the self.
Q: Meditation doesn’t do this?
A: Meditation is an independent activity. Meditativeness is to make your entire life a meditative experience.
Q: Do you think the world would be better off being meditative?
A: Not by force.
Q: Do you think meditativeness is more powerful than meditation?
A: Whether it be meditativeness or meditation, it must be an effect rather than a goal. That which one pursues as a goal never arrives. Any prescription that one pursues, he becomes imprisoned to.
Q: You seem to be speaking of the ultimate heights.
A: Why pursue scraps, when the ultimate heights are available to you?
