Meditation wakes us up from this dream. Judgment would be feeding it in some way, giving it energy. Then the bubble gets bigger and we become lost in it. In Practicing the Presence , we experience what arises in the mind, at ever earlier stages of development, as it is, in the moment, fully. That is why I call this meditation Meta-Hermeneutical Meditation and Practicing the Presence .
Nothing is the matter with that.
That is how we understand our reality. The problem is, when we get lost in the made up reality, it experiences us. It controls us. We react to it. We believe it to be real.
