In this episode, I'll share a few of the early concentrations our ancestors had for unlocking the second stage of meditation.

The first stage of meditation is looking inward, which is what comes to mind for most people. It’s about focusing the mind. It leads to contentment.

The second stage is outward looking and it’s often overlooked as we are busy figuring out the first stage. It's associated with the emergence of step change in an individual, community, society and civilization. It's authentic ambition.

Think of meditation like pole vaulting. It takes the first stage of meditation to figure out how to get over the bar and the second stage to see how high we can go.

In the first stage, some give up as they don’t see how they will ever clear the bar and others find contentment in their pursuit to clear the bar.

Once we clear the bar, we’re enraptured. We’ve found our groove and meditation becomes as essential as breathing. When we discover how to grow this stage further, we become who we are meant to be.
