“Meditation is not a religion or a belief system; it is a simple technique that can be learned by anyone, regardless of race, gender, or physical condition. Many people wonder how to meditate and what they need to do to achieve a meditative state. The solution, though, is that mediation happens while you aren’t doing anything.
It’s as though you’re asking yourself, ‘What can I do to relax?’ To achieve a state of relaxation, you must stop doing everything. Meditation is the same thing. Meditation is a state of peace in which you are not doing anything physically or mentally.
The life energy travels towards the center when you are not doing anything physically or mentally, and it settles down in the center. When you’re doing something, your energy is expended. Doing is a form of spending your energy. Non-doing is a method of gaining energy.
Physically, you may easily cease doing anything. However, it will be difficult to cease doing anything mentally at first. Because when you sit silently and don’t do anything bodily, your mind will create massive thoughts. Thoughts are similar to things. They have no roots and don’t belong to YOU; they wander around in your head. They come and leave as if they were visitors. YOU, on the other hand, are the master.
Thoughts will continue to come at the beginning of your meditation practice due to old habits and old momentum. But keep in mind that these are rootless objects wandering around in your head that don’t belong to you. It will be challenging at first, but only because of past patterns.
Your mind wants to catch a thought, follow it around, and enjoy it. But don’t stick to the thought. Keep an eye on what you’re thinking. If you forget your observation and associate it with thinking, return to your witnessing condition as soon as possible.
Within a few days, your thoughts will begin to slow down and become less frequent. They will begin to vanish, or if they do appear, there will be large gaps between one thought and the next.
One thought will come and go. After then, another will not appear for a while. Then another will appear, and there will be a gap once more. 
You will discover about the Fifth Dimension for the first time during those gaps. Even grabbing ahold of it for a single moment will bring you tremendous happiness!”
