Meditate to connect to your eternal Self

It's my belief that lurking beneath all of the major meditative practices is one objective, and that is to rest in that part of ourselves that has always been there.

Think about it. There was a piece of you at your fourth birthday eating that chocolate cake or whatever you were doing on your fourth birthday that's still here, no matter how old you are, because there's a continuity of experience throughout your life, even though that four year old is radically different than who you are today. But there was that part of you that witnessed life through the lens of the four year old that is still here witnessing your life through the lens of however old you are now, through the lens of this being.

So no matter what kind of meditative practice you might be engaged in, underneath it, whether it's a stated intention of the practice or not, there is this hidden secret, that really what we're tapping into, hopefully, is that eternal part of ourselves.

So see if you can notice that next time you meditate.
