These are Moon Minds, who is trying to explain everything with their knowledgeable words. That is the main reason for their confusion while they have to define meditation.First, how we actually experience meditation, when we%u2019re not trying to do it? (It is the awakening to consciousness itself) as if consciousness is the destination. How awareness can focus upon particular object that arise in consciousness, may be they are thoughts, object, ideas. As if thoughts, object, ideas are outcome of consciousness. Moon mind thinks consciousness as phenomena. In summary as he is explaining: consciousness is container and thoughts, object and ideas are contents so in meditation our awareness is released from identification with contents to focus on container.When one becomes aware, consciousness starts to expand towards animal, trees, mountain, rivers, sky and whole universe as one is aware 100% he is conscious 100%. For example: stones, trees and animals has no possibility to be aware, doesn%u2019t mean consciousness doesn%u2019t exist.Human has this wonderful possibly to be aware and if one is courageous enough starts to become aware and the quality to become aware is meditation.Because only an enlighten person can able to invent techniques for meditation and only a courageous human being is ready to experiments these techniques creates an individual process to become conscious.Science base on outer world search has reach to the same problem where these so-called spiritual teachers are. For example, for today%u2019s science, The universe is an object a container and because it is a container they found only 4% contents of universe is known matter and the rest 96% is just dark energy and dark matter. There are few courageous scientist who don%u2019t think universe as an object but everything which is exist is nothing but plasma and whatever is happening is just electricity moving into plasma. They claim 99.999% universe is plasma.As per as inner world is concern, the situation is the same. These so-called spiritual teachers (Moon Mind) are able to say only 4% about consciousness and 96% is just they are covering their ignorance with beautiful words and so on%u2026When a person enters into meditation, he has to face a big quantity of unconsciousness. As psychologists say we have 9 unconscious minds and only 1 conscious mind. That is the only difficulty and that is the only reason why there are very few who is ready make a quantum leap to go beyond Mind to No-Mind.Meditation is not something to define. Unless meditation becomes a part of every day%u2019s activity, there is no hope to grow consciousness.Meditation is The Only Solution!!!!
