Completely outside mind. > In my experience, the mind becomes like the air, invisible and as non-existent, concentrated only in response to a desire or outside stimulus. No longer "mine". Acting as "I" is based much more on past habit rather than ownership. In fact the very concept of ownership, of ego, seems very strange and curious, and yet the trappings of same can be donned at a moments notice, if circumstance warrants it, then dropped again, like a convenient raincoat.
The consciousness is stillness, then it interacts with someone and unity emerges, owned by neither of us...then back to stillness, until next time. Having said that, the question is what to do now, having spent decades in pursuit of ego dissolution (or infinite expansion)? The answer is to revel in all of life, "good" and "bad". There are no more artificial distinctions now. I tend to push my physical limits more now, just because it is so interesting! Causes minor problems with the body, but that is simply more to discover. This probably sounds odd, but what is life if not odd? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
