1. **Everything that is happening in the world is happening within my mind.** I was just meditating and I had about three realizations. The first realization is that everything that is happening in the world is happening within my mind, and it gives me a sense of power or control or understanding. It's a different kind of connection with reality, and I find that extremely interesting. So, for example, everything that is transpiring before my eyes is actually just happening within my mind. And when I think about that, it gives me a greater sense of confidence.
2. **Events that I am not witnessing are still transpiring in the universe.** The second thing, perhaps, is the idea of how events that I am not witnessing are still transpiring in the universe. And if I think about that concept and expand my consciousness beyond just myself and just trying to envelop the entire universe, then in this case I feel much calmer, immediately feel much more at peace. And I feel like this concept connects back to the Stoic concept of viewing yourself as a minuscule dot in the grand scheme of the universe. And you find great solace in this mind trick.
3. **Meditation is not trying to find a blissful state.** Yes, and then there is one more, which is meditation is not trying to find a blissful state, but rather it is just observing how things are, so good or bad. And this makes it a greater practice because even in situations where you might feel dismal or negative in some way, this is also a prime opportunity to practice mindfulness and realize its potential and power.

**所有發生的事情都在我的心中發生**

我剛剛在冥想時有了三個領悟。第一個領悟是，世界上發生的一切其實都在我的心中發生，這讓我有了一種力量、控制感或理解感。這是一種與現實的不同連結，我覺得這非常有趣。舉例來說，所有在我眼前發生的事情，其實只是在我的心中發生。而當我這麼想時，這給了我更大的自信。

**未見的事件仍然在宇宙中發生**

第二件事，也許是關於那些我未曾見證的事件，卻依然在宇宙中發生的想法。如果我將這個概念思考並將我的意識擴展到自己之外，試著包容整個宇宙，那麼在這種情況下，我感覺更加冷靜，立刻感到更加平和。我覺得這個概念與斯多噶學派的思想相呼應，讓自己視為宇宙中微不足道的一點。在這種心靈遊戲中，你會找到很大的安慰。

**冥想不是在尋找幸福的狀態**

是的，然後還有一個領悟，那就是冥想不是在尋找一個幸福的狀態，而是觀察事物的本來面目，無論是好是壞。這使得冥想變得更加有價值，因為即使在你感覺消沉或有負面情緒的時候，這也是練習正念並體會其潛力和力量的最佳機會。
