[FairfieldLife] Enlightenment in ten seconds
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. 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.

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.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Enlightenment in ten seconds
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. hahahaaha. 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. - Original Message - From: Peter Sutphen To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 9:17 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Enlightenment in ten seconds Comment below:--- rudra_joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.
