"There’s nothing wrong with sitting in meditation; it’s just not a pre-requisite for realization. If it helps to reign in the monkey mind, then why not...
Sitting in meditation as a pre-requisite is part of the story. Its supposed “goal” is more immediate and aware OF the movement that makes that story possible."

"Pause. Relax into what has been realized. Then, notice how you then try to use your mind and its logic to justify the realization. When it is realized there is a clear distinction between the Still Peace that you are “and” the movement of consciousness within that stillness, clarity can arise. It’s genuine, and cannot be verified by mind. I can pretty much assure that your mind will try to re-assert itself as master." SomeNothing

"Sure, realization influences the conditioning, but mostly by undermining the thought-based validity for "reality". It is the broadest viewpoint and is creative outlook. The thoughts that might give substance to such entities as SVPs or other "things" (and then assuming they are anything more than mere distinctions in awareness) are known to be fleeting, impermanent. So, things don't actually exist in their own right. The question might be "Nan yar?", but there really isn't an answer." SomeNothing

"You know, I used to try really hard to 'be in the now'... until I realized that it's actually impossible to not be in the now. I mean, I laughed at the first snowfall of the season this morning. Hello, how ya been? Welcome back. Yeah, cold and wet. I know." Rowan
