Appearances
as a sky, and your thoughts as the weather in that sky.

And sometimes there are little clouds, fluffy and happy, rolling across the blueness above
voice-verified
Sometimes there are larger, greyer clouds that bloom over.
voice-verified
Sometimes those clouds turn to storm.
voice-verified
Sometimes they may rage with rain and lightning.
voice-verified
But as of the clouds in our sky,
voice-verified
The clouds of the sky of the mind will always eventually drift past.
voice-verified
They always keep rolling by to be succeeded by something different.
voice-verified
But you
voice-verified
you are not the clouds you are not the weather you are the sky and in my opinion the art of meditation is
voice-verified
using this metaphor and understanding over a lifetime of being very reactive to our thoughts and embodying them in a way such that, as I say, they feel like they are yourself, that they control you.
voice-verified
you have placed yourself in a position under the clouds, looking up at the sky.
voice-verified
So we all do.
voice-verified
But the practice of meditation is trying to
voice-verified
place yourself above those clouds, as if you are flying in a plane, looking down at the weather.
voice-verified
The fluffy clouds and you can see the storm clouds raining in also.
voice-verified
They no longer rain down upon you.
voice-verified
You can see them raining.
voice-verified
But they do not rain upon you.
voice-verified
This is the profundity of meditation.
