Karen Maezen Miller Quotes

Meditation Is Misunderstood As Something You Envision In Your Head, When In Fact It Is Something To Be Seen With Your Own Eyes. What You Begin To See Is That The Place Where You Thought Your Life Occurred - The Cave Of Rumination And Memory, The Cauldron Of Anxiety And Fear - Isn't Where Your Life Takes Place At All. Those Mental Recesses Are Where Pain Occurs, But Life Occurs Elsewhere, In A Place We Are Usually Too Preoccupied To Notice, Too Distracted To See: Right In Front Of Our Eyes. The Point Of Meditation Is To Stop Making Things Up And See Things As They Are.
