Why do we get negative thoughts during meditation????

Negative thoughts during meditation is  like stirring up still and settled sand at the bottom of a jar.

When we are not meditating our conscious mind is active  that Holds memory required for our day to day activities.  Conscious mind stores a very small percent of our total memory. Major part of our memories, thoughts and desires etc are all stored in our subconscious mind. When we are awake our subconscious mind sleeps.

But when we sit down to meditate, conscious mind slows down.  We have only 3 to 4 thoughts per minute in this area.  We are in Alpha or Theta state of brain activity. Now our sub conscious mind  starts to awaken..  The stirring begins.

First thing that comes up is the sand at the bottom of glass that looked like containing clean water from above. The water now becomes muddy n dirty.

Our trash, negative and wasteful thoughts emerge from bottom of our subconscious mind.  Our mind is full of such thoughts.  As they come up and you label them as waste, they begin to fade away.   Beginners of meditation need to understand that this is essential and part of meditation process.

As we continue to make regular efforts to meditate,  These useless thoughts start to vanish.   These are replaced by thoughts of clarity.  The peace and calm starts to set in.  We can now connect to Universal consciousness too.

The  water is now free of sand and crystal clear.

Do we come with a blue print of our life

Yes I too believe that major part of our life is scripted though our emotions and feelings are not part of that.  Our reactions are part of our free will.  We make an intelligent plan before coming but the moment we enter earth that memory fades and during  that period between birth and death we experience the drama of life.  We get involved in our roles so deeply.  

All saints and wise here say that we have to be Knower and observer only and not to get emotionally involved in various scenes of life.   But for many it becomes very difficult especially when hit by tragedies.   Some come out of it and reinvest in life While for some remaining life becomes a burden especially if we are very sensitive. I think, Being overly sensitive is a big obstacle in our development.  Only through being vigilant and with strong will power we can come out of our emotional mess. 

 AND knowledge is the key.  Knowledge of how things work solves the puzzle called life. Here,   It is said we can understand this knowledge and find a way out  only in human body and that most of us waste it when we get entangled in pain and pleasures of this world which is temporary.

  Nothing is permanent here. All is subject to Law of Change.  Only the knower and observer within is eternal.  If only we could remain centered on this 'I' within me that is watching this show of world. But we are so lost in show itself we forget who is watching.
