"Meditation is a bath to your personality of noble thoughts."
I saw this quote this morning on Twitter and was really struck by its truth. (The person who posted this quote did not attribute it so I'm sorry I cannot accurately reference the original author or scripture from which it might have derived.)
Meditation is something I practice as well as something I teach, and only through years of experience have I started to truly integrate its value. I have always understood its benefits, but the deeper I go, the more clearly I see those benefits and how meditation can truly change lives.
In the Mystery School we teach that the personality is the mask the negative ego wears, and we must connect to our true, higher self beyond the personality. We also teach meditation and recommend students meditate for 2 hours a day... that is a long a bath! But well worth it.
So if meditation is noble and good thoughts, then yes, please let my personality be awash in them, let me bathe in them! In meditation my mind is free from masks and I am connected to my truest self.
FYI: Last Max Meditation session of 2009 at the Modern Mystery School Canadian Headquarters Tuesday night!
