In meditation, thoughts sometimes arise that we consider extremely valuable. We definitely don't want to let them go - they seem so brilliant to us.
But if we are honest: do we still remember what we thought an hour ago or yesterday?
Most of it is forgotten — and thank God for that!
I have experienced hundreds of times in prayer that, in a relatively deep state, I would start to formulate teachings in my mind. Often, good inspirations for lectures would emerge from this.
In the past, I would always get stuck there, sometimes even writing down the thoughts.
But then I dared to let them go and opened myself a little more deeply to God.
In those moments, I had my deepest prayer experiences.
They opened up a level within me that went even deeper. These experiences later became the true foundation for better lectures.
I have never lost anything by letting go of thoughts and ideas.
What is truly important always comes back. Today, when my inner teacher becomes active, I rejoice - and let it go without worry.
Through the experiences in meditation, we recognize how strongly we cling to our thoughts.
In the moment when we entrust ourselves to God's presence in prayer and let go of our thoughts, we release a part of the ego.
This is a crucial practice on the spiritual path.
Each time, it is a small step toward the zero-point state -
the state in which we can fully open ourselves to God.
