What meditation shows me is that the essential me exists without thoughts. So, all those concerns, worries, dilemmas — the essential me is independent of that. I find that comforting.
The philosopher, Descartes, famously said: I think therefore I am. Yo, that’s whack, Descartes. You precede any thinking.
Why is that important?
Because we’re here to personify spirit in our own unique way. That means fearlessly. All those concerns, worries, dilemmas, get in the way of living life fearlessly (not recklessly).
So why meditate? So that at least once a day, I peel back those fear thoughts and feelings, and shake hands with the essential me (as best as possible).
That reunification with my essential self allows me to go into my day and shine.
