                The Meditation Tip of the Day - June 09, 2001
                --------------------------------------------

                      There are only three essential questions:
                      Where are we from?
                      Who are we?
                      Where are we going?

Robin:      In a nutshell, if someone asks "Who am I?" the response might be, 
        "Who wants to know?"
            We get involved in the question of identity while the breeze 
        blows outside, while the flowers release their lovely perfume, while 
        children play and there are kitties and puppies to pet. 
            Do you get it? Of course you do. You know....

                  The Meditation Tip of the Week - June/09/2001
                 -------------------------------------------
 
 Meditation is not anything of the mind, it is something beyond the mind.
 And the first step is to be playful about it.
 If you are playful about it mind cannot destroy your meditation.
 Otherwise it will turn it into another ego trip; it will make you very 
serious.

Robin:      What then is meditation? Is it something 'special' that we do to
        become 'enlightened?' Is it then the means to another end? 
            Or is it just the natural activity of the mind when not engaged 
        in conjecture or argument. I suspect it to be the latter. 
            The natural mind is wholly holy. Yet, meditation is natural 
        and simple; 
        it is the activity of a peaceful mind, not a goal seeking device. 
        It is not what one does to become enlightenened. 
        It is that which the enlightened do, and it is their joy.
