Meditation and spontaneous manifestion Meditation is a useful practice for one on a spiritual path. However, at a certain stage it can actually be a hinderance. This is when Will and goal is set for meditation.
At a certain level of realisation, one realises that all manifestations are spontaneously appearing. One discovers that Presence is always there and is not induced by meditation. Presence is experienced when the 'sense of self' is greatly diminished. During this stage, meditation with a purpose become an act of 'sense of self' and Presence thus will not be experienced. At this time, Isness becomes apparent and all activities that are the doing of 'sense of self' become obvious too. It is during this time that meditation for the purpose of experiencing Presence may be discarded as the futility of such activities is understood. Presence is realised as being obvious when there is no attachment to objectives and thought contents...and thus can occur anywhere and anytime. The dynamics of Presence is understood and the attachment to meditation is discarded. All of phenomena is clearly understood to be spontaneously appearing and any form of trying to modify the moment is seem as counterproductive.
While meditation with a purpose is not productive, I still meditate regularly even after this newfound insight. However, meditation took on a different quality. It is now done without much of a desire to experience Presence. Instead, there is now a more thorough letting go and this include the dropping away of ownership to any experience that may arise. Additionally, the need to stay conscious through the meditation is also dropped away. This opens up a vastness without center. Well, in a nutshell, these are my findings. Thanks for reading.
