Meditation Is Our Natural State Of Being

When we are not in vacancy or thinking and talking, we are just being aware, open to the elements with the the senses fully experiencing, watchful, able to see clearly and at peace, that is meditation. In this natural state, we can do everything mindfully.

There is nothing religious about this. Nothing convoluted. There is no system, no outer worship, no beliefs – just naturally being aware. That is the innate presence of pure consciousness. It is home, our permanent being.

So what is unnatural, and why are we all confused?
Consciousness doesn’t know its natural state, and so becomes addicted to selected ideas which have no permanent reality.

When we are lost in vacancy, thinking or talking,
we are in our dream state of memories.

Merely notice that which is aware of this dream state,
and there you are, back in natural wakefulness.
