I'm new to buddhism, I still believe in a divine power (god) though & I've been very interested in meditation, it was even suggested to me as a means of helping my depression. & I'm a big thinker & always find myself pondering those questions that seem to lay out of the human's minds comprehension, so I think meditation will allow to soul search & find so kind of control over my always reeling mind. I am fairly educated on the topic of meditation, but it's easy said than done, I've found out. This what I know so far (please feel free to point out anything I have wrong)... The goal is assume a completely empty state of mind as well view desires & thoughts through the eyes of a third party or observer to your life. & there are many different ways to arrive at this state of mind. This is my usual method I "try," correct this method if it sounds incorrect, I first start by counting my breath until I start to leave the distracts that surround me, then I start to focus on my mind being a stream, constantly flowing forward, & restrained by nothing, flowing gracefully pass the stones of thoughts & seperate from the shores of life... & I just focus deeply on this alone & ignore all other thought, but then I don't know what to do, next. Please help.
