Sati
excerpt from Mindfulness in Plain English by Venerable Henepola Gunaratana
Mindfulness is the English translation of the Pali word 'Sati.' Sati is an activity. What exactly is that? Well, this is one of those questions without a precise answer, at least not in words. Words are devised by the symbolic levels of the mind and they describe those realities with which symbolic thinking deals. Mindfulness (Sati) is pre-symbolic. It is not shackled to logic. Nevertheless, Mindfulness can be experienced - rather easily - and it can be described, as long as you keep in mind that the words are only fingers pointing at the moon. They are not the thing itself. The actual experience lies beyond the words and above the symbols. Mindfulness could be described in completely different terms than will be used here and each description could still be correct.

What is meditation
Category: Other meditation
In the field of metaphysics, meditation has been the preferred tool since the beginning of time. Contemplation over the principles of reality transcending those of any particular science, eventually led to higher levels of awareness. Subsequently, mystics created religions and agnostics created philosophies in their quest for answering the basic questions: what is reality and how do I relate to it?.

Mind quotes
Energy conveys to us the idea of motion and activity. Inside a living organism we see a source of power, which by some manner is released in terms of movement. Life is energy. It is the creator or initiator of movement change, development. We are different from moment to moment because the life principle is at work with us. The spirit of humanity, like the forces of nature, and like the physical life, is at bottom energy. Spiritual life, therefore, is just as much a development out of what has gone before in the evolutionary process as physical life is. Which means that the origin of spiritual life is from within.John Dietrich
