jedi meditation

In the northern climes, the old farmhouses have a "boots and coats" room, an antechamber between the outside storm and the house proper with its cheery warmth and light. Similarly, in formal meditation, one enters a psychic antechamber away from the external storm of being, shucks one's accumulated garb, and prepares for entry into the warmth and light of Being. Over time, one walks through daily life in all three places at once. This is sometimes called in-form-al practice, practicing without form.
