If you close your eyes for a second, even if you're a nonmeditator, you have a salient glimpse of yourself as empty, whether your mind is trained to think so or not. If the mind can just let go and surrender everything to the moment and reside in presence then the mind has come into the focal point of the real and not the imagined, in the moment of now. That presence of the now is itself ones own cognition, ones own self, as empty awareness. Simple.RJ, you amaze me sometimes. You have got to be the most eloquent dope fiend on the planet.
When you come to understand that that is all that you will ever know and nothing else then you come to enlightenment. A state of knowing and unknowing, a state of dao, of christian rosencreutz. There is nothing else but open presence directly cognized with merely a film of change on the surface. The change is very engaging, but it is of the one taste of the empty mind, the only thing which is ever really known in anything. And nothing that one grasps after will ever be grasped because there is nothing but the empty mind at the end of each day, and life. Because the reflection, because the light, because the crystal, because the bell, because the cross, because the night. Because is why! Surrender the intellect to the moment of now and you've recovered completely. There is no other moment.
