Our ability to 'silence the mind', 'turn off the internal dialogue', 'meditate', is a supreme challenge for all of us who are inclined to accomplish that .
What I've seen is that, for the most part, we only talk about those things yet never really learn how to do them. The root reason for our inability to accomplish that 'inner silence' is that the 'thinking mind' is all that we know!
So, even when we say, for example, 'I meditate', we don't really know that that really is. Our 'meditation', then, is usually a contination of our 'thinking mind'. Yes, we say that we are meditating, for example, and while our intentions are pure in that endeavor, the truth is actually that we have NOT really learned to turn off the internal dialogue or even what that really means.
So, we meditate, then THINK that we've done something of value, and yet we've not REALLY actually silenced the mind. Thus, our speaking about 'meditation' is really no more than a platitude.
Feeling peaceful or more centered after meditation is cool, yet if it doesn't result in a connection to the 'spirit' ... to that realm beyond thinking... then it is, and I apologize for saying it, NOTHING other than more thinking.
Tell me your thoughts on this! Ha! Language is what we have to communicate! The realm of true inner silence is beyond words. But let's continue with word as that is what we have for communication!!!
