What you are doing is making the mind sit still by offering it something to play with. A pacifier. You no longer allow it to run here and there. You put a short leash on the mind and make it go where you direct it to. It becomes a servant rather than a master....
In this path, meditation is the centerpiece. Adherance to some restrictions in diet. And you're right, you will have to read the book.

X, though what you are saying is not particulary new to me, you have a very eloquent way of putting it and it sounds as if you have achieved a certain degree of mastery in regard to these beliefs.
As far as the meditation is concerned, I have come to the point where I am able to "quiet the mind" i.e. stop all random thought from occurring but I am alway interested in hearing pointers and new methods.
What you are describing about the inner sound meditation sounds a lot like the "grounding" process described by many "chakra practitioners" (for lack of a better term). It involves grounding your 1st, 3rd and foot chakra with the energy of the earth. Is this of which you speak?
Also, please explain this a little further:

What do you specifically mean by pacifier? Give me an example of this process. Also, where exactly do you (or would you prefer to) "direct" your mind to go? Meditation for me is about clearing the mind and feeling the soul and source energy.

Most people will spend many lifetimes creating things that will only make their lives more difficult. Creation has to be mastered, therefore desire must be mastered first.

Agreed, however, why would one wish to "master" desire? Need and desire are different concepts. Need being a desire that creates a negative discord in your being if that desire is not met. Whereas pure desire being merely a preference. It would seem to me that overcoming the feeling of need is what is desirable to be mastered. Is this what you mean?
