Are you Seeing the Light of Yourself?

Do you think you should be seeing some kind of shapes or colors or lights in your meditation? Are you waiting anxiously for this? Are you judging yourself and your meditation — either positively or negatively — based on the presence, or absence, of these lights, colors and shapes? If so, please stop now. Meditation is not about seeing shapes or colors. Yes, different people have different experiences when they meditate. Sometimes those experiences are visual and include visual imagery. Sometimes the experiences are auditory. Sometimes they are just the felt-sense experience of pure consciousness. All experiences are welcome. None is better or worse, higher or lower, than any other. Meditation is not a competition with levels to climb. It is an undoing of falsehood so the Truth of your Self can be revealed.
