It is a long time since I last entered in the site. I feel good to see the pictures of my friends. I wonder whether any of them could recognize me or not....!

Meditation of all labels around the globe begin with the premise that you are not the individual ego you think you are. Rather, you are the entire complex process that makes up the whole universe. The entire process is irrevocably connected, and any divisions into separate things or separate events is an illusion. Certain things you do inside your mind cause you to have the illusion that you are a separate entity--"a separate ego in a bag of skin."
Hence, it can be rightly said that meditation is a way to get the mind and the illusion of separateness out of the way. Whenever an individual has done this, in all cultures and in all times, they report the same thing: they contact reality directly, without the filter of the mind. When this happens the person instantly knows who he or she really is--the going on of it all, and the nothingness out of which it all arises, moment by moment, endlessly. When you come to know who you really are, a number of remarkable things happen. First, you stop being afraid because you realize that there is nothing outside of you to be afraid of. You stop striving to get certain things or to avoid certain things. Why? Because you are all of it already. You now can see that there is nowhere to go and nothing to get. Only being in the world created by the mind can make you think that there is somewhere to go, something to get, or something to be afraid of. For this reason those who do realize who they really are, experience incredible peace--"the peace that passes all understanding".- 3 Comments
