Meditation -- the perfect action of a quiet mind -- is not the path to the Divine; it is a realization that the Divine is ceaselessly reflecting upon itself in a timeless and sublime state of Being... better known as the "Kingdom of Heaven."...

Meditation is the understanding in action that (your) being is the active expression of a fully reflective experience... One that is ceaselessly changing due to what passes before it and within it, yet unchanging in its capacity to perfectly reflect these changes.

Contemplation is sustained attention on a question the heart holds in its keeping, knowing, full well, that the mind -- of itself -- cannot answer. This form of sustained conscious inquiry is the ground of true meditation: it is creation aware of itself.

Part 2 Meditation -- the true action of a quiet mind -- is not the path to the divine; it is the action of the divine reflecting upon itself, a silent and sublime state of being known as the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mind is not intellect itself, nor is (our) Heart the seat of emotion alone; real mind is the marriage of a higher order of intellect and heart: wherein feeling is wisdom -- and wisdom is, in turn, feeling.

Our (real) Mind is not intellect itself, nor is our Heart the seat of emotion alone; real Mind is the marriage of a higher order of intellect and heart: wherein feeling is wisdom -- and wisdom is, in turn, feeling; these two parts (of us) were never intended to be separated... as they now are for the majority of humanity.
