Alan Watts on meditation. Interesting reading:

"Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. And therefore if you meditate for an ulterior motive, that is to say, to improve your mind, to improve your character, to be more efficient in life you’ve got your eye on the future and you are not meditating. Because the future is a concept. It doesn’t exist. As the proverb says, tomorrow never comes. There is no such thing as tomorrow there never will be, because time is always now. And that’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only a present, only an eternal now."
