Hi Anthony,
I understand that you trying to discuss from a logic or definition of
words. I am not saying whether I am correct or wrong. At the beginning
of my journey I am like you. I struggle with these terms as well. As I
said, it took me six year to conquer my terminology.
Actually, all my posts are from my experience. My experience like
Daniel's youtube is center in the heart and not in the brain. It is a
whole body experience. And this experience coincide more and more with
my Teacher's teaching as time passes.
Don't mean to confuse you. I also like to say, in my states, there is
no mind and no heart, just chi, electricity and lights. The key point
IMO, is that state of kensho, satori, or even just Jhana can not
sustained without chi, which is labeled as vital energy by Daniel.
Of course, my experience could also be labeled as maya by Bill. :-)
It is not important what I say or experience. It is only important what
you experience. As you well know, Buddha said clearly in Diamond sutra
that He said NO dharma.
Best, JM

JM,
What is 'mind'? What is 'heart'? What is the difference between 'mind'

Wow, Thank you ED. I have watched the first one.
HuangDi Neijing said it very clearly for 2,000 years, "Our Shen,
or inner divine, requires the support of Qi or Chi."
Personally, having a high tech BG, it took me 6 years to wake up
to the fact that our Teaching is not about our mind. It is about
our entire being. And at the center of it, is our heart.
That's my witness. Now there is someone else too. Thank you
again, ED. Lovely day today.
:-)

BTW, I was just informed that our version of Diamond Sutra is on
youtube with English subtitle.
