Meditation 2025.0: From Here to Now Presentation with John Duncan

Meditation 2025.0: From Here to Now Presentation with John Duncan We are going to talk about meditation, which is a very challenging endeavor. Because meditation is not a thing, a noun. It is not something you do, an action, a verb. Rather, it is a dimension, a realm. It is like the neighborhood you grew up in or that you live in now, only it is much, much more vast. That neighborhood, the entire world, the universe, the dimension of time itself is a small dimension that exists as a tiny sliver within the dimension of meditation. It is not unlike the dimension of dreams, where an entire reality takes place in silence, even though there appears to be talking and noise, and every character in the dream is really you. Except that in the dimension of meditation, everything takes place in silence, and none of the characters are you, not even you! Regarding meditation, Krishnamurti said, “If you don’t know it, you are like a blind man in the world of bright color, shadows, and moving light.” And that it has the “sense of living in a vast space where you are part of everything.” In his public talks, it would always be introduced at the end of the series after much discussion about what it was not. Only after fragmentation and its attributes, conflict, loneliness, et al. had been understood, seen, and negated was it reasonable to go into the question of what is meditation. It is an impossible question really, one that cannot be answered adequately with a response from the outside, so we keep that question alive, by listening. And listening is silent, it is present and alert, it is not going beyond itself in terms of seeking its own desire, its own security. That is all it is, and it is everything, the summation of all energy.
