The now is the beginning, middle, and end. As there
is no ability to cognize anything other than empty mind at last, there is
nothing that can be cognized but empty mind. There is no question, and no answer
more than that. This is more than nothing, less than anything, it is the
single most practical and profound technique of all ages. And you say it's a
beginning. hahahahhhhaha. If everyone stopped for a second ten times a day
and merely took a deep breath and shook out their tension, and gave up, and
surrendered all their thoughts and feelings to the now then many many better
actions would be produced and all that better karma could undo some damage from
occuring. People would see each other and nature and appreciate it more. Before
they have heart attacks and have to take to the recliner on the porch and
watching squirrels. If you ever forget the message then dance. They might think
you're crazy but your really sivasakti. The master of the temple has no specific
instruction.

Simple.
That's the beginning of (no)Self realization and a
very good
technique to transcend the vrittis of the
chitta. An empty mind does not =
(no)Self. There's
still and implicit "I" thought or identity with
subtle
aspects of mind. True vipassana meditation cuts
through this
identification very quickly. If you can
quiet your mind through intent,
vipassana is the way
to go. IMHO!
