Limits of Meditation Impose Itself on Us: Dead Ends everywhere: Try and see for yourself!
Limits of Meditation Impose Itself on Us: Dead Ends everywhere: Try and see for yourself!
Some think we can attain anything by meditation. Meditation can, to them, resolve all our problems.
We can achieve miracles by meditation, such as self-control, self-knowledge, universal knowledge, self-awareness, universal awareness, master our life, master our problems, and have absolute control on our destiny, making it as we desire and comprehend the universe and its relations becoming universal consciousness, being illuminated and enlightened and finally radiating our cosmological knowledge to others who are in need of our help, being miserable as they are.
But, this is utter bullshit of wishful thinking and absolute none sense leading only to conjecture. Meditation is nothing but thinking, whether by focusing on a point of interest and indulging into its internal knowledge as well as external knowledge. In fact, whatever the object can reveal to us of its secrets. But this has its limits for thinking is limited.
Our brains, all powerful to look into things and understand something of their presence and the how of their structure. When we come to grips with its why questions then the problem becomes insurmountable. This is when our knowledge, whether achieved by science or otherwise, arrives at a certain limit where the borders of knowledge impose itself and cannot be further revealing.
Any example is good for our case-study. Take the presence of a planet like Mars or Neptune. We see the external form and shape. We can measure its dimensions, density, and gravitation. We can find out about its structure, its elements, its radiation and other features where science can tell us a lot.
But once we inquire into its presence, that is the why of its presence, the why of its structure, the why of its function, the why of its characteristics, the why of its nature, the why of its essence, the why of its origin and the why of its finality, then science as well as other means of acquiring knowledge are unable to provide with answers. Our question for knowledge at these levels is sterile, unless you know better.
We simply have no access to these things. Then our object reveals to us what our minds can perceive and what the object permits to reveal of these identifications. We cannot get to better knowledge of these things, no matter how we exert our powers of meditation. No meditation can claim any knowledge of these ultimate knowledge issues which remain absolute enigmas until the time being.
To think that we shall have more knowledge of these questions later on and by meditation is not at all a valid proposition. This is only wishful thinking and exerting more than what objects can unveil to us of its knowledge.
No one knows, a scientist or a philosopher, about the origin of our universe, for example, which remains a complete mystery and enigma. The presence of our planet with all its manifestations of life remain as well mysteries, in presence, origin, function, structure and finalities.
We simply have no access to such knowledge.
Now then, to pretend that thinking, or meditation, reflection and understanding can reveal ultimate knowledge is nothing but wishful thinking on our part.
