Meditation

I came across a good way of describing meditation.  If you are watching a play, you observe the event taking place as an outsider.  You are a viewer.  Meditation is when you watch a scene from the inside.  You put yourself into the scene.  You are within the event.  With all my senses I become part of what is happening.  I am not just an observer.  I reflect on my response to the scene as it takes place.  This is in fact how I meditate upon scripture, for instance.  At first, I just read to get the information on what is going on in the bible scene.  Meditation is when I enter the scene and see how I react.  Observing the play does not change to play.  Meditating does change me.
