https://invinciblemarketing.org/how-tm-works/The mind will go inward when there is nothing to draw the mind’s attention outward. This means no perception, nothing we do, no thoughts, just a state of pure “being”, being yourself. Knowing yourself is the same as being yourself.
But how can we get into this state? It’s easy to see or do nothing, you just sit down with your eyes closed. But to think nothing? Anyone who’s ever tried to think nothing knows it’s very difficult, because the more you try not to think, the more you are thinking.
This is where meditation has gotten on the wrong track, the fact that people started trying to get into this state.
The Transcendental Meditation technique is a rediscovery of an ancient technique that involved a completely natural process. With the proper technique and the proper guidance people don’t have to try to go there,
the mind will go there by itself, completely naturally, completely spontaneously, because it wants nothing more than to go there. For the mind this is the state of coming home. [...] The fact that TM is easy and effortless isn’t just a pleasant side effect, it is
the only efficient way to experience that state of pure being.
