Meditation

Although I am a bone fide Catholic, I don't think it is unCatholic to speak of other religions reverently. Marcus Aurelius stressed a more meditative form of philosophy, and thus began the meditative movement.

When one meditates, one tries to reach "samadi." What is the thought between two thoughts? For American Jewish people, silence may mean pain, God's silence, or something ineluctable... but when one reaches silence in meditation, one listens for deep thoughts or realizations that transform one's life in a spiritual manner.
