In this introductory talk about Sufism, Llewellyn Vaugh-Lee explains Meditation. He says, “It gives you direct access to higher states of consciousness. You experience a reality beyond the mind that is a state of dynamic nothingness. Our normal state of consciousness keeps us separated from this. To explore states of consciousness, while still living in this world, is the most wonderful thing you can do for yourself to open new doors to what it really means to be a human being. You open the doorway to your heart and surrender your consciousness to God.” At the end of the talk (1:02,) he explains Indian Meditation techniques as “using love to still the mind and put all of yourself into your heart. When thoughts come as they do, put them into your heart.”
