"I often hear people
saying they can't meditate.
But what they are really saying
is they won't meditate.
Whatever reasons they give,
the truth is in meditation
they have come across an experience
they do not wish to experience.
Whether they are conscious of it or not,
they have felt a sensation
that they do not wish to feel.
The reasons on top of this
are just excuses.
The moment you allow yourself
to experience those sensations
you are avoiding,
then you see the futility of your reasons,
the futility of your thoughts.
The futility of trying to figure it all out.
It really has nothing to do with mind.
You just didn't want to feel
a certain sensation,
and once you did,
it wasn't so bad,
ironically,
it was quite blissful.
Suddenly you are filled
with love and peace
until the next sensation
you unconsciously resist
makes itself known.
Once you realize
this one very simple point,
that the reason you can't meditate
is that you do not wish to feel
a certain sensation,
then meditation becomes very clear.
Then you see the power is in your hands.
Most people are just looking
for the bliss
and they don't want to do the work
to get it.
And that is perfectly fine,
a little relaxation and meditation
will give you this.
But if you want more than this.
If you want freedom
from this constant conflict
of seeking pleasure
and avoiding pain
and all the stress & suffering
that goes with it,
then you will be willing
to sit through
the uncomfortable experiences
and enjoy the peace that goes with it.
Unconditional peace
does not come
from feeling happy all the time.
Unconditional peace
comes by being present
with what is here
regardless of how you think it feels.
You give it a try
and I bet you'll really like it.
Blessings,
Kip"

Does the Law of Attraction mean I should stop working toward my goals and just wait for them to happen?
