Meditation

During a recient meditation the leader stated that we often have many thoughts few of which are actually deep and that the same is true of emotions. It is not that other’s are smarter or brighter than us because the ability to have real depth of thoughts and feelings is what makes us human. I know what he means sort of. The committee is always rehearsing or rehashing what to do or what has been done. And the full brain supresses the awareness of feelings, which are a body not a head thing. By stilling the mind we can eventually achieve a real deep feeling. Eventually we even get below the feelings to an awareness of life that is impossible to describe but whish is filled with real joy. I have been lucky to have reached that once. It is what keeps me trying to meditate. I would like to know why it is easier to meditate with others than alone however. Maybe one day I will find that out.
