Just as King Lear finds John Smith’s peaceful life boring compared to his dramatic existence, yet John Smith experiences only peace, you, consciousness, experience yourself differently when viewed through the finite mind versus directly. Come back to your self – you never really leave it, but you seem to when lost in experience content. The essence of meditation is letting go of content and remaining as your self alone. Like entering thy closet and closing thy door, you rest in luminous darkness where there’s no experience, just your being shining. When you experience yourself directly, there is no lack or agitation – you are full with yourself. This peace is your nature prior to experience, not something you experience but what you are. When the mind looks at you, it construes you as boring. Understanding meditation is what you are, not what you do, resolves conflict. You remain as your self whilst experience flows through you.
