i remember being little and recognizing the voice in my head as mine after reading a book for the first time
i didn't know what to think of it and even tried turning myself off
its hard to do. my friend says dont think about anything. when i try i still drag a sound out and instead ride on possibility through a series of images played out in the mind. the other day in meditation i found myself saying things like, i want to get past these images- past the knowing, past the voice. the deeper i got, the louder my subconscious would throw something at me. like honing in- i was able to see what my mind could not let go of. eventually, the images come and go with ease versus struggle. the feeling of creating the image is gone but things persist. even than i feel the need to go past that. i hope its not going to deep because a lot of beautiful work is done with the help of voice and image- yet at the same time, has proven to be hindering.
once in meditation i've experienced something, perhaps the craving i desired last night. there was no i to describe, there was no voice. there were no images. it was a feeling of absolute and a rising vibration. it was very brief and when i told my friend about it(he was meditating with me) he described it as transcendental.
im wondering if anyone else out there ever feels the same. like you just want to go past your mind and if anyone else has experienced a transcendental meditation. how would you describe your experience and what conclusions were you able to draw?
thanks

i would concur with your experiences. The mind is a lunatic. It gives little peace.When it's chatter is turned off transcendental experiences take place. But there are times that we use it as an exercise in focus and direction. When we arrive at the destination it is no longer necessary to have the vehicle.
