One of my goals is to meditate regularly. I am convinced it is a very good thing to do. All the people that I know/ know of who attained an admirable spiritual depth and attainment meditate. Now it is easier said than done of course. When i start my attempts I try to silence my mind. when thoughts start flocking into the screen of my mind - like invisible television broadcasting, I pick up my remote and turn of the TV, all of a sudden, the TV automatically turns itself on. I see myself sitting on watching that TV , holding the remote, and trying to turn the TV of.
I am trying to stop my thoughts using the same thing that generated them; the mind.
