If only there were a word for that...3. Find yourself at a level of focus where you are only thinking of the task at hand. For athletes, it's doing the sport at your highest level. For musicians like myself, it is completely giving my soul to the piano or my voice.

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

We're sorry, the answer we were looking for was "meditation," or "what is that thing everybody here at the Temple talks about, but precious few people display an understanding of?"

My point wasn't that the word was wrong. My point was that there's a lot of discussion on the topic here and most of the people engaged in it (myself included) make the whole process far too complicated. On a website that discusses meditation as much as we do, you'd expect at least a better general understanding and not scads and tons of folks who "can't" meditate.
I'm just saying that if we're going to talk about it as much as we do, maybe we should look at the way we're presenting it and help one another grasp onto the concept more firmly.
