Hi Roark, I thought in the interests of scientific experiment I would attempt to meditate the way you describe. Oh dear it has been funny, I have had numerous attempts. I am very well rested now.  Yes my brain has changed since I last tried to meditate, I had no idea how much! anyway, the experiment shall continue and I will report back in due course. but so far from my perspective what it did was catapult me into deep snooze without taking care of business first. I didn't like stopping most of my thoughts and found it a bit uncomfortable at times, but on the plus side was the instant catapult into being face to face with feelings. I loved that bit. But i think you have to grasp life with both hands. so I think I'll keep on doing the thinking. One day, when I was still a premie, I was lying in a hospital bed with broken bones and in a lot of pain - I started to meditate. It didn't help at all. Quite the reverse, it meant my attention wasn't there with me helping me handle the pain. I could hear the cries of a man across the corridor who had lost it in the pain and I didn't want to be him. I stopped meditating and started on the long road home. It was a very bumpy road but it evened out when I found the forum and got a helping hand. One thing I remember saying was that it wasn't just that Rawat wasn't what he said he was, it was that he was so horrible. You know, you pick up an imitation apple and bite into it, it's not just that it isn't going to feed you, it matters what it's made of. I agreed with what Cynthia was saying in her post below about the peace for prisoners thing - we know what's in the package - enhancement for his charity status translating into dollars and aggrandisement for Rawat. You can't separate the meditation from the giver.
