You are correct in surmising that meditation is an intelligent means of Self-knowledge. It's been used for centuries all over the world and other places over a long period of time - so it's a proven program. Meditation, which simply means to think things over, has been explained by Patanjalio and Parasara, two of the most illustrious psycho-physical therapists in history. It's the original thinking-man's program, but it's known to only a few. Apparently, this technique, while once very widespread, has been driven underground due to the machinations of the corporate types who have the name meditation copyrighted, so we just call it "Thinking". Go figure. But, in fact, "Thinkng Meditation", or "TO", which is a form of special knowledge, is just about the deepest type of activity on the entire planet! This notwithstanding, it took me 5-7 hours in order to realize this. TO is a really wonderful way to enjoy, relax and have a good life. It's simple, direct, and effective and it doesn't require accepting an elaborate belief system based on secret philosophies or erudite theology. I'm not responsible for the fury of those who say that thinking can be difficult. No! And, it's not necessary to retire to a cave, isolated and alone - I sometimes practice TO on the corner of rush hour traffic!
