Thank you for sharing your insightful reflections, Jan! 🙏

Your comment wonderfully articulates the profound and somewhat paradoxical nature of deep meditation. The stillness and silence that one experiences during this transition isn't void or empty. It's a resonant space filled with understanding and awareness, a place that words can scarcely capture.

You're right in pointing out that it takes firsthand experience to truly understand this. It's akin to trying to describe the taste of a fruit to someone who's never tasted it. Only when we ourselves bite into it, do we truly understand its flavor. Similarly, only by immersing ourselves in deep meditation can we truly grasp its profound tranquility and transformative potential.

I'm thrilled that you found the metaphorical expression useful in envisioning this 'quiet place.' It's my hope that it can act as a stepping stone for those new to the concept, helping them imagine what can be a life-changing experience. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. It adds a valuable layer of personal experience to the discussion.
