All psychologic phenomena occur in consciousness. However, "consciousness" has two meanings: the faculty and the content of awareness. Traditional psychologies have largely concerned themselves with the content, neglecting the problem of the faculty, thus, limiting our understanding of human psyche. Study of meditation is a viable approach to the exploration of both meanings of consciousness. Meditation aims at a "cleansing" of the mind to reach, thereby, a content-free and conflict-free state--pure consciousness.
所有心理现象都发生在意识之中。然而，“意识”有两种含义：意识的官能和意识的内容。传统心理学主要关注意识的内容，而忽略了意识官能的问题，因此限制了我们对人类心理的理解。冥想研究是探索意识这两种含义的一种可行方法。冥想旨在对心灵进行“净化”，从而达到一种无内容、无冲突的状态——纯粹意识。
