Still the Mind

Simply watch everything going on without attempting to change it in any way, without judging it, without calling it good or bad. Just watch it. That is the essential process of meditation.

Sight vibrations, emotion vibrations, touch vibrations, sound vibrations — all these things come together and are woven, all the senses are woven, and you are a pattern in the weaving, and that pattern is the picture of what you now feel. This is always going on, whether you pay attention to it or not.

The thinker behind the thoughts and the feeler behind the feelings are only thoughts;

In other words, you are no less than the universe, and each one of you is the universe expressed in the particular place that you feel is here and now. You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at itself and exploring itself.

As long as we think we are motivated by something external, however, and therefore feel insufficient, as long as we have that conception of ourselves, we are playing to win, because what we want is to win more, and become more.

You can make any human activity into meditation simply by being completely with it and doing it just to do it.
