Meditation . . . cannot be forced. . . . [Y]ou shouldn’t be concerned with how deep your experience is. Consciousness is infinite. You could have a more powerful, more profound experience of it, but it’s still the same infinite current. ~Andrew Cohen
Joe Slicker says he began self-conscious meditation in 1977, thirty years ago. It’s like the old monk who said he participated in canonical hours for forty years, several times daily, before he began to realize their power. Though meditation is unforced, one must be present. Then such old warriors say one begins to meditate without ceasing. ~jpc
Perpetual meditation. Namaste.

Thanks, John. This one is particularly helpful, especially for those of us with busy minds!
John’s spirit journal speaks to us before bed on many an evening. JS
Could prayer be substituted for meditation? I've always loved this passage in 1 Thessalonians 5. Sometimes I feel guilty about not having a "deeper" prayer experience. Then, I think of this passage. It is comforting to know you're never alone and you don't have to go to a special place (physical or mental) to be in communion with Spirit.
16--Rejoice evermore.
17--Pray without ceasing.
18--In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
