    Default Re: Some Attitude

    A feeling of 'resistance' to meditation is commonplace. We find ourselves getting sidetracked by all kinds of different things such that we don't get down to doing it enough, and when we do get down to it we may find all kinds of inner voices distracting us in one way or another. Worry not. This is normal. The more meditation you do (within reason) the better you become at being able to motivate yourself to do it in the first place (because, generally speaking, it 'feels good' and you tend to have a sense that this is positively changing the way you feel and the way you look at things in general). Secondly, with practise you should find it more and more easy to 'bring your mind back' from any distraction.
    Perhaps feelings of resistance to meditation may have their origins in an awareness (even if consciously denied) that by looking inside there may be some 'truths' that you would rather not deal with right now. Similarly what we think of as ourselves may really more of a coalition of 'part-selves', and the disruptive parts may feel a little threatened by a practise that engenders more cohesion/integration.
    Don't worry. Be gentle with yourself. Even the disruptive sub-entites may well end up enjoying themselves! If you feel cynical about what meditation can do, then at least be willing to 'suspend your disbelief' somewhat. Give it a try with an open mind.

    The writer asks - we tend to see the "mind" as foe instead of friend, and the writer asks why? - answer - we are trying to create something unnatural in the mind.
    When we believe in "god", the mind creates doubts - obviously - because you are trying to force a concept which doesnt in any way exist and that is where the conflict comes in. When we use the mind to gain something of the mind... does the reader understand? The mind is an instrument, by doing so-called meditation you are trying to force a concept of the mind on it.

    You can repress your frustration and un-stillness to a very subtle level, but it is still there, even if the frustration is only 1 out of 100, it is still there which means you are going against yourself.

    If you dont wanna experience discomfort, dont meditate.
