The Paradox of Meditation
The meditation experience is interesting because on one hand it is about
completely letting go of everything, and on the other hand, it is about paying more
attention. It's a paradox. Let go of everything and have the courage and faith
and conviction to keep letting go, fearlessly, no matter what arises. But don't
let go of consciousness, don't let go of attention, don't let go of awareness.
Meditation is the paradox between those two positions.
