Paradise Lost - When Insights Slip Away

We are meditating, or perhaps just walking on the beach, and WHAM! the insight strikes. Wow! But then what happens? In a millisecond, the interfering mind elbows right in, “WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT WAS THAT?” and our insight evaporates like ephemeral foam on a wave.

If only we could keep that meddlesome, nosy mind away for one more moment, then the insight would remain, and deeper and deeper we would go until there would be that immense flash that shifts our consciousness into glorious new levels.
