Meta Meditation

          Meta meditation is a meditation technique by which we experience whatever arises in the mind at ever earlier stages of development (like bubbles arising from the bottom of the ocean) and make no judgment of whatever it is that we are experiencing in the moment. Judgment would be feeding it in some way, giving it energy. Then the bubble gets bigger and we become lost in it. In Practicing the Presence, we experience what arises in the mind, at ever-earlier stages of development, as it is, in the moment, fully. The Meta meditation is that with greater awareness, we see through the appearances, (what the mind has made up, interpretation) to the Presence that is the reality in everything that is real. (What is not real is what the mind has made up.)

          That is why this meditation technique is called meditation Meta-Hermeneutical Meditation and Practicing the Presence. The hermeneutical (from the Greek word hermenoia, meaning to interpret) is what your mind makes up (interprets) about what is happening. Nothing is the matter with that. That is how we understand our reality. The problem is, when we get lost in the made up reality, it experiences us. It controls us. We react to it. We believe it to be real.

           That is the past. That is not now. That is separation. The Meta-Hermeneutical is beyond the hermeneutical. It is what is already there, your true nature, your true Self. Beyond what the mind makes up "about" things, beyond the made up, beyond the dream, beyond past, present and future, beyond thought and concept is Presence.

           Meditation, to many people, is using the mind. Concentrating on something, affirmations, visualizations, declarations, developing powers, contacting guides or spirits, seeking some higher authority-are all not Meta-Hermeneutical Meditation. Meta-Hermeneutical Meditation is the going beyond the "doing" of meditation, to being that Presence in every moment and bringing Presence (your true nature) into everything you do. Through all appearance is Presence.
