When Jesus says take the lowest place at table it reminds me of meditation. In meditation I have no expectations. I don’t expect something good to happen to fatten my ego, like a “spiritual moment.” I simply sit at the lowest place and wait. Maybe the host, God, will invite me to a higher, closer spot to the host, God. Maybe not. My job is to show up. Prayer of this type is about the experience of union, presence, but I am not in charge of this. So ultimately, meditation is very humbling. People often say they are atheists because they do not experience anything when they tried meditation. Either they are doing it wrong or there is no god. So they give up.

I never know if I will 'feel' anything, sometimes yes and sometimes no. I have no doubts that it works, either way, the results speak for themselves throughout the day. ❤️
