The Meditation
Meditation has been a part of life for the Jedi for many years. It has been used as a way of recieving premonitions, reaching across time and space, and as a way of becoming more focused, and for improved concentration.
During meditation, you must let go of everything. Everything. You must empty your mind. Let your thoughts drift away. This can be a very difficult thing for most people. While we are attempting meditation, for some reason we have thoughts about not thinking, and when we think we are not thinking, then we are thinking, and we must start over. Confusing? Don't worry. Give it time.
Look at your arm. What comes to your mind when you see it? Most likely the word "arm". This is logic. In order to empty your mind, and let go of your conscious self, you must also let go of logic. Think not of your arms and legs, or any part of your body. They are what they are, and nothing more. If you lost all of your limbs, wouldn't you still be who you are? If you then lost your torso (and were still alive), wouldn't you still be who you are? You see, none of it is you. Not even your brain is YOU. That part of you which can't be seen with your eyes, the part that is aware that YOU exist, is who you really are.
Let go of the room you are in... let go of the things around you... let go of the building you are in... let go of the things outside... and float comfortably.
Do not think of the things that you see, hear, smell, and touch. Think about seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching. Empty your mind of the names of things around you. Experience them, do not think, "I am doing this", just do it. Know it and feel it. For example: pick up a small stone. Don't let the name of it come to your mind. Just pick it up, and feel it between your fingers. Feel it's texture, it's shape. Experience things, do not name them.
