Observe the observer
Another Monday morning bus ride and I was able to think through some stuff about fear and group consciousness. I'm reading a good book by Derrick Sweet right now and one of the things I'm taking away from it is the idea of Japa meditation. I know Wayne Dyer has talked about this form of meditation as well and I remember thinking at the time that I was reading his The Power of Intention that it was similiar to buddhist teaching on transmission. When you do an initiation you visualize your guru as the buddha and also yourself as the buddha. So the japa meditation is familiar in that you see yourself doing the thing that you want to do. I am starting to use that form more actively now, starting this morning, on the bus!
