Meditators Get-It-Together

… or should do.
🙂

To meditate is to make a decision, and take positive action in one’s life to have a sense of direction. The decision is to achieve one’s full potential of a harmonious frame of mind, an enlightened mind.

If we do not get-it-together, we become depressed, or spend our life covering up depression with distractions, which isolates us. There are many indicators of depression: over-talkativeness, brain fog, indecision, doubt, hopelessness, guilt, aggression … In fact, everyone is depressed in some way, and it shows.

Empathy is recognising depression (suffering) in others, without condemning them. We’ve all been there and felt that, but we usually ignore it.

If we meditate and do not recognise others’ depression, then we’re not meditating properly; we’re doing something for our own aggrandisement.

A harmonious frame of mind is realising
the inseparability of that which perceives,
and whatever is perceived.

An unharmonious mind just perceives and judges.

Pure perception does not pick and choose – it merely notes, witnesses, and understands how things are. We are this pure perception and, in recognising this, can empathise with others’ insecurity, rather than shunning or avoiding them. Our ability to listen indicates a positive, caring attitude.

Getting-it-together is making a positive decision
never to forget that we are pure perception, pure consciousness.
