Katha Upanishad: “The Self is without sound, without touch and without form…You will know the Self when your senses are still, your mind is at peace, and your heart is pure.” What a great historical quote, I don't even have to fix it so it can be read comfortably by the modern secular mind. -Buck: Yes, evidently Harris is a transcending meditator even as a Buddhist! That is wonderful. -Buck in the Dome
Did you see that even CurtisDeltaBlues is a transcending meditator now that way too? It's all the same Unified Field once you get going. I was reading a discourse recently by Guru Dev, Maharishi's master and he was urging people to just do it, meditate and it [the transcendence] will become more familiar. It is very beautiful in nature that way. -Buck sharelong60 writes: Richard, sense of self vanishing and having greater well being sounds like what happens during TM!
