If the issues we expertise throughout meditation have any relevance, then they need to be instantly obvious to us. It’s form of just like the previous Philip Ok. Dick line, “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” In different phrases, the reply to all of your meditation questions, life riddles, religious issues, and so forth, is straight away clear to you. It does not matter if you recognize the “correct” reply or not. Just seek for your self, now! That is the primary instruction for this meditation, and – should you resolve to make use of it that method – for all times generally.
After being centered and spending a while within the unassisted focus state (i.e. Shamatha with no object), Michael leads the viewer by a collection of investigative questions. The right solutions to those questions can’t be present in your reminiscence or by fascinated with them. It’s like being requested if it is raining exterior. The greatest approach to reply the query is to open the curtains and simply seek for your self, not look it up in an app.
Too typically we take the place that religious teachings and meditations are about studying the correct solutions after which remembering them and with the ability to regurgitate them on demand. This is simply brainwashing and doesn’t signify perception. Insight comes by trying immediately inside (in-) (-sight). As the Buddha mentioned, “See for yourself.”
Michael places a powerful emphasis on the phrase “look!” again and again to encourage you to interrupt by the shyness, the hesitation, the will to ‘do it proper’, the necessity for solutions. To break the dependancy to the pondering thoughts, and the necessity to depend on linear rational conceptualization. Just look! Now!
