The Treasure Hunt
August, 2002
When you meditate, try to think of it as a process of exploration. Don’t have a lot of preconceived notions about what you’re going to find. If you go into it thinking that you’re going to reprogram your mind, well, you could reprogram your mind into seeing almost anything. If you believe firmly enough that if you saw iridescent clouds all around you that would be a good sign, you could make yourself see iridescent clouds. If you believe firmly enough that if you saw the whole world as blue you’d find true happiness, then you would make yourself see the whole world as blue. But that’s no indication that the world really is blue.
