Not I, Not other than I: The Life And Teachings Of Russel Williams

by Russel Williams

I do not believe in long meditation practices. Once you make contact and get the process going, a quarter of an hour or even 10 minutes is quite adequate. Do it seven times a day, until you have a continuum going all the time, rather than once a day. If there’s a gap you lose the momentum, but if you keep it up, every couple of hours or so, there is a continuum. Switch it on, switch it off – learn to do that and you’ll find you have a continual flow all the way through, which can even penetrate through to sleep as well. You could compare it to how a horse eats. Did you know a horse’s stomach is only as big as a human being’s? That’s why it has to continually eat, all day long. It doesn’t chew the cud, it goes straight through. In the same way, meditatively, here, there, there, there, throughout, we should maintain that quality.
