The meditative Mind

What is meditation? Is it sitting quietly in a posture to bring about some result? What are the minds motivations with regard to meditation? In true meditation is there a mind which seeks escape? If one is at all serious about going beyond the petty aspirations of a mind that is caught in its own self importance, then one must lay the ground work for a mind that is capable of meditation. Meditation that is practiced today in most circles is influenced by an organization with an agenda that is seeking proliferation and legitimacy. Meditation that is the result of a continuity, can only be a conformity to illusion. Meditation has to have an element of originality that involves the natural progression of a mind that is quiet and still. The realization of meditation not as a 'practice' but as a natural state of the unconditioned. One moves away from meditation as an activity of accomplishment to a state of consciousness that is without the self and its motivations. Moving away from meditation as an activity separate from the organism to existing as meditative. The meditative mind is the outcome of the full realization of the unconditioned which is consciousness of the selfless. One is not separate from meditation one is meditation.

One is not postulating a position with regard to the 'practice' of meditation. Only that one should be fully aware of mind and its motivations. To be aware without conclusion or authority. Discover what is natural for you. Do not force yourself into a position based on conformity to a system or a tradition. It will only discourage and confuse you. Meditation is awareness of the movement of thought and the discovery of the true nature of self. In Meditation there is passive awareness; that is, one is in a state of complete vulnerability in which there is no controlling influence. If meditation is controlled effort, then there is control and the one who is controlling.
When one is attempting to utilize thought to influence thought then there is the conflict of opposition. There is comparison and conclusion. One is looking for results. Whatever you feel has been accomplished through meditation will only be a projection of your own aspirations and you will have missed finding the real treasure which is realization of the true nature of self.
