The Truth About Meditation

This is an enormous subject. Many books could be written on the subject and many have been, though one of the best is "Letters on Occult Meditation" by Alice Bailey/Djwhal Khul - The Tibetan.
Meditation is not just about sitting still for hours on end. Meditation is the simplest thing you can do and is also the best thing you can do. Many adherents of meditation in ancient times (mostly in India) penetrated into the mysteries of life and the human mind. This is what meditation is all about. With meditation you will eventually become a god and more. Forget about becoming THE God, that job is already taken.
As I said the mysteries of the human mind (as well as the Universal Mind) can be revealed through meditation. These mysteries will also reveal GOD to you as well. As said by many spiritual teachers before the goal of meditation is God-consciousness. The creative imagination will be needed for discovering what I am talking about - creative imagination being one of the things needed for and gained through developing God-consciousness. (Many of us do not use our creative imaginations.)
This brings us to the subject of Nirvana. Nirvana is the state of consciousness where all spiritual and worldly problems disappear and you merge with the Absolute. This should be the goal of everyone, whether monk or yogi, beginner or 'experienced'. None of us want problems and we ALL want the Absolute. This is what meditation will bring although there are other Keys needed to reach this Goal.
