And you're right, what remains is space - it sure is nice when the mind-body is alive but feels like empty space... Another matter is, when the mind-body literally feels like empty space, if it can lift off the in the same way as it feels... ;-) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Hi Tony, >I have never met an atheist! That's surprising... I have. I have had atheists in my meditation classes, too... why not? I don't care what they believe... I teach a method and let them find out for themselves what's real. )) Then they can use any words they like for it. Actually, I think atheists are a lot better off than the people who just don't care. Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
