Thought and Meditation - Rob Burbea
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/thought-and-meditation/
Instructions for dealing with thought and meditation can be confusing. Are we supposed to stop thinking? It's an important question. Thinking in a painful way, for some people, can lead to suicide. With misunderstandings and poor instruction, the practitioner of meditation has some hurdles to overcome. When the practitioner tries to stop thinking, they will find that the results are only temporary, and they've suffered a lot of strain in the attempt. At other times the practitioner gives up development and surfs on interesting thoughts and concepts. If thinking is allowed in meditation, what kind of thinking is good thinking?
A lot of the following material comes from one of my favourite masters Rob Burbea, so I would like to let the audience know, if they don't know already, that he's fighting pancreatic cancer. Yet despite that he's still has the fortitude to teach, for example his new retreat teachings have been uploaded about Imaginal practice, and there are links below. Rob like the rest of us is impermanent and the gifts he provides and are not guaranteed. If you are in the position to do so you can donate via this link to help with his expenses:
