Hello Bats and Butterflies,

I hope all is well for your family in every realm of life. While we all speak English here, some times some concepts we may be considering do not have contemporarily accurate English equivalent terms or concepts. Such is true for the term "meditation" when our focus is on more mystical, subtle and transcendental, transpersonal or spiritual considerations -- beyond emotionality or seeming upgrades in sensuality that the term "meditation" most often connotes in English. Centuries of anti-exploitation in English-based and English tangential cultures have also denatured us from both experiencing or even acknowledging subtler realms of our being innate to each and every being, including non-humans.

In mixed company, "meditation", in English, may mean anything from receptivity to subtler realms to contemplating a relatively positive sentiment to make it part of one's life more fully, to contemplating the most heinous actions and sentiments with presumptions of righteousness.

In transcendental, transpersonal or spiritual realms, reaching toward, accepting of, receptivity to and cultivation of subtler realms of being are the more progressively truthful meanings and practices of "meditation", which goes by more exactingly specific terms in other languages.

When you've been at your happiest, most joyful, contented and feeling safe, what was that experience?

The most valuable ingredients innate to a meditation technique, meditation methodology, intuitional discipline will include among them, sentiment, volitional engagement, rapport, the merger of subjectivity and objectivity -- of subject with object, and maximum expansion reaching toward and into infinity. The architecture of such may vary from person to person, more exacting speficities are involved. The architecture of such practices will use natural proclivities and continuities to further arriving successfully into meaningful thresholds.
