Points of quiet. What are you noticing?
Quiet or a flow of thoughts? First, take note of what is there. The author then guides meditative observation and describes what is happening in spiritual space. You do not need to know in advance what you should feel; what matters is not losing your own perception.
Can I notice quiet and the flow of thoughts without immediately trying to make my state right?
- For those who want to observe their state in meditation more attentively
- For those who relate to the spiritual language of the author's meditative meetings
What you can explore here
Begin by taking note of what is happening in consciousness
Distinguish your own perception from the facilitator's description
Continue observing without the promise of a particular sensation
In the author's words“Are you in quiet, or is there a flow of thoughts? Take note of it for yourself.”
What the conversation covers
- Quiet and the flow of thoughts
- Taking note of your own state
- Meditative observation
- Spiritual space in the author's description
This is a meditation session for you to experience yourself. The text does not replace the recording.
Quiet is something to observe here, not a required result of watching.
Return to your own experience.
- Was there quiet or a flow of thoughts at the beginning?
- What can I note without explaining it?
- Where was I observing, and where was I waiting for a sensation I had chosen in advance?

What to keep in mind
This is not an instruction to suppress thoughts or a promise of a special state of consciousness.
Do I have to stop my thoughts?
No. What matters for this observation is honestly noting what happens, rather than achieving an absence of thoughts. The recording uses the author's figurative language.
