		<description>Hi Pamir, it's good to be back :-) Silent meditation is revealing so much to me. It gives me new eyes as I move around the world.</description>

		<description>My Friend.

It's so good to see you are back, and sharing your experiences over the past few months.

I'm in the middle of another one of my blogging breaks myself.  Thank you for the reminder that sometimes we need to step back and evaluate where we are and the direction we are headed.

And thank you for the recent comments and links... I'll respond to them eventually. ;)</description>

		<description>Yes, good to see you blogging again. 

Meditation is many things these days. Because it has real relaxation &#38; health benefits, it's being used that way a lot &#38; promoted in this limited manner. Then there's guided meditation which can be powerful in personal growth, but often becomes an easy way for someone to feel spiritual.

Silent meditation which you're practicing has for ages been about Spirit. It happens at a soul level. And yes it will sensitize you, but also strengthen. There are powers that may come about. 

One way to deal with the melding is to simply notice these perceptions as packets of information. These packets don't belong to you, come inside you or stick to you in any way. They only increase awareness &#38; perhaps help you or others involved.

As for creation, hey why not?! If you're connecting in meditation on a regular basis, are aligned with good, there will also be the wisdom to discriminate about your creations. 

As for being an expression of Divinity, silent meditation is ultimately the only way.</description>

		<description>Your last sentence in the last comment says it...
"The answer is clear-TRUST."

I am very glad that you are back.  You were missed!
My experiences with meditation have been like yours
with many breaks...
I find that what truly works well for me is conscious breathing and centering in on the moment...the what is happening Now.  

As for the attunement with others and the molding of the world...that is a powerful thing ....one that needs to be tempered within your highest self....</description>
