The misconception is that meditation is about focused thinking on a particular subject or mind-based physical element. In reality, it is an experience of the conscious awareness of who you are, a spiritual being having a human experience. You are pure energy; however, most people use the mind in an attempt to define something beyond form.
“Meditation is not some ‘thing’ you do…it is the experience of Being that which you are!” – Terry Swejkoski.
When you finally recognize that meditation is beyond form, you will begin to understand that meditation is about Being in true character, a Spiritual Being, period.
We can all disassociate ourselves from form-based objects and thought; however, few ever really experience their true essence at a level of energy vibration capable of even starting to understand the unlimited scope of what that means.
Once you discover the reality of formless, conscious awareness, it will be possible for you to take the physical body beyond thought into the realm of non-thought and natural Conscious Clarity. Everyone can experience this; however, most allow the mind to cloud the clarity of this natural experience. Until you allow yourself to return to your true character, a Spiritual Being, you will only experience yourself based on form-based definitions. Therefore, you will always live a life based on limited form-based identification with other form-based by-products and through the experience of life-situation illusion. However, you can do much better than that – if you choose to tap into your Higher Self awareness.
Most people live life backward; they think – therefore, they believe they are. In reality, you are – thus, you think. The Spiritual Being was first created and then stepped into the body, created by the formless energy. You (the Spiritual Being) are housed within the body and are part of the body only while you are within it. You are much more than what the body will ever be. You will leave the body and move on when your destined work is complete. This deep knowing is found in the meditation experience, not in the mind’s limited perspective of what it is.
What is exciting is that you can discover how to merge the Spiritual Being (Higher Self) with the body at any time, such that the mind aligns with your original intention for being here. Once you integrate cosmic knowledge, life perception changes exponentially, and you open yourself to the unlimited possibilities of the Universe.
