Title: Simple meditation explanation
Post by: Stookie_ on April 26, 2012, 11:34:17
I watched an episode of Parks & Recreation from a couple weeks ago last night, and one of the characters was trying to get another to come to a meditation center with him, and the guy really didn't want to go, but did to please the first guy. He ended up just standing there waiting for the session to end. So when they were done with the session, he says:

"I didn't do anything when we were in there. I just breathed softly and didn't think about anything. My mind was completely blank. I don't know what the rest of those crackpots are doing."

They might have been, om, transcending.

It takes people a long time to get to that stage, and the guy did it without realizing it.
