What does meditation do?

I'm glad you asked!

I notice you've been reading a lot of Q'uo lately 3DM, take a gander at this session. It's got some good general info on meditation, even what we're discussing here, the difference between sleep and meditation:

...However, meditation is much more than entering the silence, for there can be a silence of mind which simply indicates boredom. Silences within the space/time world may not offer anything except a quick exit into sleep. However, silence is a key that opens the door into time/space. Silence is the transit between the world of the mind and the world of consciousness.

The mind of space/time is handy and useful for many things within your outer world. It is not useful for becoming more aware of one’s own deeper nature. It is not a good tool with which to investigate the world of spirit. People will often think of the mind and of consciousness as one and the same thing. However, we would differentiate between them. The mind is a space/time mechanism, whereas consciousness is a time/space phenomenon.

...

We suggest that one avoids sleep when in meditation for the simple reason that sleep ends the meditation. The sleep state or states, we should say, are in and of themselves useful and we may speak upon those, if you wish. However, the practice of meditation is only useful when the entity meditating remains conscious. For once one’s consciousness is taken away there is no will to meditate or a person who is meditating. That set of intentions and activities vanishes upon the onset of the sleep state.

Now, that's not to say that some great spiritual work can't be done in sleep. But even with lucid dreams, your will struggles to find a direction. The key to good meditation is strong will and strong focus. These things combined will propel you into spirit and open doorways within yourself.

Lol, honestly, I can fall asleep sitting up.

Actually, I can too. But not laying on my back for some reason! The only problem I have meditating laying on my back is I'll unconsciously turn onto my side and drift to sleep.
