-- same holds true for "being psychic" or astral projection
it is a habit born of trust -- you trust yourself, you always have the knob tuned to this dial so that, quickly (when you want to), you catch up with what's playing on that channel
meditation is not a means for earning a merit badge (one you can PROUDLY wear), it is simply allowing your essence to remember what is is all "about"
anytime you stop, even for a moment, and look at something or think abut something and it catches your attention
and you're not thinking of problems or the utility bill or whatever, then (to me) you are "meditating"
I am always "on" yet I can turn it on and off whenever I want
a paradox?
or simply a statement that I have the choice to listen to whatever station I wish
and the serenity within to focus on what's playing on whatever station I choose to "listen to"
