Oh Jeremiah I'm so sorry. I didn't want to suggest that I knew your mind. When I wrote that I was thinking of my own experience to make the joke that, despite communing with oneself not usually being the stated aim of meditation, the thoughts that arise are almost always very self-absorbed."My mind, sir, is my castle. Mind your own!" - Aristophanes
"Did I leave the stove on?
Surely that's half an hour.
I wish that seagull would shut up.
This is great.
This is boring.
That girl at the office is pretty.
Oh, I really meditated there for a bit.
I want a drink."
That is not what I was talking about and you know that full well.
"Believe it or not meditation isn't really meant to be about communing with yourself."
Believe it or not, I have my own ideas about the nature of meditation. Crazy, I know but I am big on that think for yourself gambit. Perhaps, if you'd just simply asked I would have clarified.
I should have realised that was going to come across badly. My brain is a little fuzzy from the flu.
I'd be interested to read your ideas about the nature of meditation. For instance, could you explain what you mean by higher self and how that differs from yourself?
