Meditation is to let the space between thoughts expand in passive listening presence

The instance, which is using the past to preserve the thoughts in a linguistic form, is the inner thinker, who reacts to challenges by dividing, evaluating, comparing.

To finish thoughts, so that they can end and renew themselves, is therefore equivalent with ceasing to preserve them in a linguistic form, which again is equivalent with meditation: that, to let the thoughts rest in longer periods of time, to let the space between them expand in passive listening presence.

It is as simple as that. 

Can the past´s reaction be delayed, so that there not immediately is formed an image?

The past always reacts immediately; and to postpone the past´s reaction – when you are facing a challenge - so that there is a space between the challenge and the reaction - is to make an end of the image.

In the same way, there are no images in the space between the thoughts.

If this doesn´t happen, we will always live in the past.

We are the past, and there is no freedom in the past. We have our identity in an absence. This is consequently the way of our lives, a constant struggle, the past which, modified by the present, moves into the future – and that will say that it still is the past, the self-image and the world-image, which is moving, though modified.

As long as this movement takes place, Man can never be free, he must always live in conflict, in sorrow and confusion, in wretchedness and misery.

The question becomes whether the past´s reaction can be delayed, so that there not immediately is formed an image?
