#1 The four initial stages of meditation are: making the groundwork and foundations solid, then moving on to the bliss states of meditation. You should spend a lot of time making the groundwork and foundations solid, then move on to the higher stories when they are ready.
#2 When you work with your mind, you find that it is so strange. The mind can do wonderful and unexpected things. When you think during your meditation, How many more minutes are there to go. How much longer do I have to endure this. that is just wandering off into the future.
#3 When you anticipate the future by thinking, How many more minutes until the bell rings. you torture yourself. So be very careful not to pick up the heavy burden of How many more minutes to go. or What should I do next. If that is what you are thinking, you are not paying attention to what is happening now.
#4 The second stage of meditation is silent present-moment awareness. It is the silent awareness of the present moment, and it is more important than any thought.
