Question: I like to meditate. I am not like the rest, who is into sex and everything. Am I on the right track? Do we need to explore everything before we meditate? Is it ok for me to like to be alone.

Answer: If you like to be alone, enjoy meditating .... that's what everybody else is trying, but first they are trying to get finished wit sex, their problems and etc so that they can enjoy being alone.
You are in a better position, you don't have to pass through the hell. You have already pass it through somehow; perhaps in your past life. You are out of the hell; now don't try to get into the dark tunnel again.
You are enough unto yourself, and that is the most important thing for a meditator - the enoughness of aloneness.
Nothing is wrong with you. Just enjoy being yourself, your meditation, your silence, let others pass through their darkness.

Let them play whatever style they want; you simply don't get distracted from your meditation. You are perfectly right. And all these people are trying to reach to your position. You don't have to descend into their troubles, into their problems.

You are blessed. It rarely happens, what is happening to you. It happens only because of your past life; there is no other explanation.

In your past life, you must have been meditating, you must have been with a master; you must have come to a point where sex become meaningless, where the need for the other dropped, when u become enough unto yourself and your loneliness changed to aloneness; hence in this life you are carrying all that you have achieved in your past life.
Nothing is lost. Once you have achieved it, it goes on with ur consciousness into new lives, into new bodies.

Somehow I felt accepted. I who never aspire for meditation, suddenly found myself fell into it and I love it. I just simply do it, and most time don't follow the correct posture and yet I can connect with the Source immediately. I am still a food lover and yet I am receptive to the Energy. Unexplainable, except for past life.

It has even taken over my love of food.
This evening, by right I would have taken food but I wanted to do meditation more. And it was a good one.

(8 July - Yeap, I enjoy my aloneness. Just closing my eyes, enjoy the silence. But deep down, there is still a part of me that still want my partner and thats why I enjoyed romantic korean drama. The part of me that think that if i have my partner, my well of love will be filled up. Of course, while I still want my partner, now I am willing to accept myself to be without a partner.)

One has to very much aware of the mind creating problems which do not exist in reality.
The mind is almost a problem-creating factory; whatever u do, whatever happens to u, mind is going to raise problems about it. That's its old strategy to disturb you.

If you are feeling perfectly ok, then listen to the heart, not the mind. One has to learn the knack of not paying too much attention to the mind, trying in every possible way to listen to the heart.

Soul
Tell me about it.

Love is a flower that grows in ur meditation .. Love can be known only as a fragrance of meditation, not before it.
Once the flower opens up, it is beyond the capacity of the flower to be miserly about it's fragrance - the fragrance will go with the winds, it will spread all over.
And spring will come, it always comes. Trust existence. The flower will blossom, and love will flow from u.

Soul
Thanks for the reminder. I jus focus on my path. The rest I leave to God.

(8 July - this is the same message like Ripeness. Well, at least it is flowing to my staff and D)

Nobody can be miserly about love; that is an impossibility, for the simple reason that love follows a totally different economics.
In the ordinary economics, if u go on giving, you go on becoming poorer, one has to be hoarder to remain rich.
Love is not part of these mundane economics. The more you give, the more you have; if you don't give it you will not have it. In giving it grows, in sharing it becomes more and more purified, more and more beautiful, more and more a blessing.

Soul
Still have not experienced it yet.

Becoming a meditator means an effort to get out of the slavery of the mind, to become its master.

You are in a harmonious state. The mind will try to disturb it, and your harmony is so new and the mind is so old and so strong that if u don't stop it from disturbing your harmony, it is going to be disturbed.
All that mind wants is to disturb your meditation because they are enemies. Mind knows perfectly well that if meditation grows, mind has no place in ur life; it will be reduced from being a master to a servant.

Soul
Will take note and take rein of my mind. Or rather, just focus on meditation and let my Energy takes care of my mind. Frankly, cannot do it on my own, mind is still too strong.

The strangest phenomenon is that when u r the master of the mind, the mind functions far more efficiently than it functions when it is a master, because naturally it is destined to be a servant.
As a servant it is perfect, but when it pretends to be the master, it cripples you. It does not know how to be a master - that's one thing and it does not allow the master hidden deep inside you to have any say in your life. This is one of the psychological sickness of mankind.

Soul
I have experienced this. Will take note not to take my mind seriously.
