a quote from a book I am currently reading,
“One way to understand mediation practices is that they help us integrate and develop the dynamic synergy of both our active or creative mind skills, and or quiet or receptive mind skills. Insights and inspirations emerge first as subtle, formless impressions, gossamer-like and transparent-so elusive that they are easily ignored. If our “quiet mind skills” are keen enough, however, even the subtlest emerging insights will be noticed and drawn into awareness. Once these impressions are brought onto the screen of concious awareness, our “active mind skills” come into play, shaping and developing them into thoughts, images and intentions that can be communicated to others and guide our action and work in the world.”
