When I first read these sentences in this amazing article, I didn't believe my eyes. Yet, this author explores another point of view on what meditation means and how it is practiced.
"I don’t believe you can meditate. How can your mind control your mind ? When you say ‘relax’, it is your mind telling your mind to do something. You think you are relaxing but I think it actually takes you away from reality".

"So if every day you can plan to die by the night, if every day can be like your last one, then you’ll have a very beautiful life. You summarize your life at night, and make sure that if there is an issue you find a solution and implement it in the morning. I want to be able to go back to my slippers and nightsuit with that feeling. And I should build my empire with that approach"
When I started to read this article I held my personal notion of what meditation is. Now, I am aware of a very different point of view, more-or-less existential, and worth knowing.
