Always thinking

[Gem]

Hi.

I'm just going to say the same things I always say, but in a different way. There's nothing new here.

The way I talk about meditation isn't special experiences. It's the truth just as you experience it right now. I understand everyone wants something special, but this meditation will not work that way because it is the cessation of want.

It is essentially a simple satisfaction with what's true, but we tend to find we generate quite a lot of tension and agitation. We don't want to double that aversion by regarding our agitations disfavourably. We just recognise, this is how I generate my own disatisfaction. No opinion. Simple fact.

This is an exploration for discovery. The truth just means you discover what really happens to be there (and what isn't there), and I think we get the sense from nature that allows a reasonable expectation that such discoveries will be... ummm... fulfilling.

What is directly perceptible is the truth as you experience it, and being present where 'this is what it's like' is how you know. It's very interesting to be, like, Let's see what happens next.
