We live in a world obsessed with absolutes—right or wrong, success or failure, stay or go. But real life? It unfolds in the gray.

It feels like you're drowning without a lifeline to hold on to, my coach said last year. A little hesitantly she suggested I might want to explore the mother figure of my own cultural background, rather than straying too far, being overly rational, chanting buddhist mantras and whatnot. Soon I bought a rosary at the fleamarket and started to wear it as a talisman, something to hold on to when the waves get rough again. Healing rests in the unlikely sometimes.

There's much more nuance to meditation than "thoughts bad". Thoughts aren't the problem. It's identifying with thoughts that's the issue.

So anyone who has taught you to be adversarial with your thoughts during meditation is not thinking things through.

Would you like to learn the nuances of meditation & rest in the stillness of your soul? Even if you have lots of thoughts? And are convinced you can't meditate?

Meditation is not about having no thoughts.

That's silly.

Because you'll have the most highly creative thoughts during meditation. And the most intuitive ones too!

It's just one way your soul communicates with you.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé (1813–1899)

Creative impulses. The urge to be human.

In our modern world, a subtle influence is reinforced that we must be skilled at what we do. We must work well. We must perform well. We must sing well, dance well, make art well. Even in intuitive spaces, a fog of perfection pervades. It is not enough to just express something, we must also attenuate its expression so that it is palatable to others, to society.

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say this is why love and light is so heavily emphasized within spirituality. There’s an underlying desire to make things appear good and well. In order for us to have an enriched experience, we are sold the idea that we should forgo anything which is not positive.

With this Venus/Neptune conjunction I want you to rethink what is good and well. What if, instead of dancing well, you just danced? What if instead of singing well, you just sung? What if instead of painting well, you just create? What if instead of labelling a spiritual experience as good or bad, you just surrender to what is?

Humans need not do things well. They must only do. The must only be.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Now that you have this unique opportunity, free and well-favored,
Use it, I beg you, to practice Dharma for the benefit of future lives.
Human life is like the sun shining between the clouds:
It can be gone in a moment, with nothing accomplished.
And regret at the moment of death will be to no avail.
So practice straightaway with diligent enthusiasm. — Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé (1813–1899)

If we had no thoughts in meditation, then we'd have no inspiring, creative thoughts, right?

So meditation is not about having no thoughts.

Rather, it's about reconnecting The Infinite. Your higher self. Your soul.

It's when the flood of valuable, creative thoughts enter your mind.

Wouldn't you like to experience this connection again? You knew it well as a small child. It's easier than you think.

Happy Beltane to those who celebrate it. In 2023, I made this mixed-media artwork inspired by the Pagan tradition.

A splendid (if I do say so myself) portrait showing a reindeer standing in a grassy land before a Ribbon-wrapped Maypole while a cloudy yet bright sky hangs over the mountains in the background. A blue fire burns in a cauldron opposite the deer. In the corners of the portrait are illustrations of plants. Inscribed over everything is a magic circle with a pentagram, elemental and astrological symbols, and the Wheel of the Year.
