Excerpt from a Tea Time conversation ~

Master Jenny: In essence, meditation allows us in many ways to become omniscient – all-knowing. And that is why people say through meditation you become enlightened. Because you do, you become all-knowing. You start to know and feel things you don’t necessarily know you are aware of in the conscious world. You start to retain a much bigger perspective on life. What my father calls the grand view.   A lot of times in our conscious life, we are looking at life through a window. But through meditation we open up, we can see everything very clearly, which very often helps us solve problems. So you will find that when you meditate, problems that you have that you want to overcome are no longer very big problems. They become very small problems. Solutions become very imminent and you have no reason to be scared or fearful or confused because you now know. A lot of times we are scared, we fear, we are confused, because we do not know. So meditation allows you to become more aware. In this way we are able to prevent or overcome many terrible troubles that come into our life.
