Good foggy morning as someone once said!!

Thought is mechanical and meditation is not.

When there is only the organism without the self, perception, both visual and non-visual, can never be distorted. There is only seeing 'what is' and that very perception goes beyond 'what is.' The emptying of the mind is not an activity of thought or an intellectual process. The continuous seeing of 'what is' without any kind of distortion naturally empties the mind of all thought and yet that very mind can use thought when it is necessary. Thought is mechanical and meditation is not.
