Over time I realized that certain movies captured my thoughts
on meditation. In the beginning it reminded me of "The Matrix". The
concept that what we thought was real, was an illusion. "Do you want to
take the one pill to keep the illusion, or the other pill to see the
reality." Stilling the mind, you
realize all the constructs you have in place, which initially you assume are
requirements, but later discover are non-essential. Later my thoughts shifted
to movies like” Altered States” or “Somewhere
in Time.” While I didn’t believe the
idea that we could visit past lives or alternate realms while in a deep
meditation, most of the class discussion was beginning to center around these
experiences from other Monks.
