Nirvana and Enlightenment #64

Life becomes a non-stop series of habitual reenactments of previous experiences.

WHY?
Because they are known.
Known--nothing is new.
With nothing new, no uncharted emotions or experiences must take place.

Meditation is a habitual experience.
As a habitual experience, after the initial stages of its mental focusing have been achieved, nothing new is gained from it.

This is the reason that people meditate for a lifetime but do not achieve realization--they lock themselves into the limited experience which they have already mastered.

Meditation does not have to be habitual.
It can be new each and every time you sit.

Do you allow it to be new?
Do you allow yourself to encounter new experiences behind the walls of meditation?

Life is your choice.
Meditation is your choice.
Do with it what you will.
