The earlier stages of meditation are often associated with psychic phenomena. This has led to the false belief that all the stages of meditation are so associated and to the gross error of taking the absence of these phenomena as indicative of failure to progress. The truth is that they are not inevitable and not essential. When they do appear the seeker is so easily led astray that they often do more harm than good.
