What is meditation?

February 16, 2001

If the false is seen as false, then

there must be a link between

the false and true, a " place "

where there is " contact " of

false and true. How else

could the false be known to

be false?

At the point of contact, it would

be impossible to say that there

is absolutely no common ground

between false and true. Lacking

common ground, the true could

not apprehend the false as false,

simply would not register any

perception of it.

The false cannot arise in what

does not exist, and therefore

the false cannot arise in and

from the false.

The false is therefore a version of

the true, is seen truly as

as false by the true, therefore

is an aspect of the truth of the true,

and the common ground which

is shared by true and false can

only be truth.

This means that what is false arises

from the true, is of the same nature

as the true, and in being seen as

false is an aspect of the true being

true.

At this point of apprehension, there

is no longer " meditation " . The false

is seen automatically as false, and

this seeing is the true being true,

without any effort or intent. The nature

of the false is the same as the nature

of the true for there is nowhere else

from which the false can arise.

Knowing this nature, there is no longer

concern for such things as " vigilance " ,

" meditation " , nor any kind of discrimination

against nonmeditation or nonvigilance.

The false, known as an aspect of truth,

can in no way be a cause for concern.

There is no deliberate daily exercise

possible now -- and there is clarity
