In Voices of the Confederation, they keep stressing the importance of meditation. Hell, every LOO material stresses the importance of meditation, but ESPECIALLY Voices of the Confederation. You'd think a skill THIS ESSENTIAL to one's spiritual development would be a lot more easy and intuitive, so how come it's so difficult?
Meditation is not difficult. It is the person who is attempting to Meditate that is the problem. The solution, you are trying too hard. Just relax, sit quietly, and allow Still Mind to find its place. A technique that I was taught by my Spiritual Master is the easiest. Simply stop thinking. First begin for a couple of seconds, and slowly extend the time. Meditation should be the natural order of things, in that is to return to your natural State of Stillness. When I was first taught Meditation, it was the labour-intensive Mantras. Why spend fifteen minutes trying to still the Mind with Mantra, when simply stilling the Mind is just that. Stilling the Mind. The advantage with that technique, it can be done anywhere, eyes open or closed. Who says that Meditation must be done with eyes closed?
Be Still and At-One.
