True meditation is letting go of manipulating our experience.
-- Adyashanti -
The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating.

Even in great revelations, there is almost always something that wants to claim, "I am this." Every time you claim, "I am this", you just claimed another sense perception, thought, emotion, or feeling.

Meditation is letting go of control, letting go of guiding our experience in any way whatsoever. The foundation of True Meditation is that we are letting go of control.
