Meditation is not a magic cure-all that can be taken in doses to work overnight. Your approach is definitely an important factor in your selfrealization. Although there is no failure in meditation, your attitude can make the difference between ease and difficulty. Cultivating the right frame of mind is very helpful if you are serious about continuing your practice, because it supplies the internal inspiration and enthusiasm that will fuel your meditation and color your thoughts and actions throughout each day.

The essence of Tantra Yoga is the joyous affirmation that “there is nothing that is not divine.” Instead of proclaiming, like many traditional philosophies, “God is not this, God is not that,” the Tantric affirms, “All is God; I am God.” By recognizing that all forms in the universe are manifestations of the same consciousness, your attitude becomes positive and dynamic. You see the universe as the arena for spiritual endeavor. Perceived and utilized properly, it reveals, not veils, God. Rather than concentrating on admonitions of “don’t be this way, don’t do that,” you concentrate on the positive, using all your physical, mental, and spiritual potential as part of your path. Meditation is not a process of elimination, but of inclusion, expanding your awareness of that consciousness infinitely.

In the progress toward truth, let us notice that each step is from particles to waves, or from material to mental; the final picture consists wholly of waves, and its ingredients are wholly mental constructs. It seems more and more likely that reality is better described as mental than material.
