Guest guest Posted June 16, 2001 Report Share Posted June 16, 2001 It is not the universe and planes that dissolve, rather the use of attention to focus the Self effulgent "I" sense into a limited range of images appearing in the conscious field of the mind and assuming that one is these images, that these images and impressions make up and are one's identity. With the recollection of one's Self as the single "I", subject with no object, there is an inwardly pulling sensation that dissolves this use of the focusing power of the mind, as the "I" is drawn in Its ever abiding Singularity and the appearing images are outshined. Rather than contraction, there is release. The old mind and erroneous views simply cease, and we abide as simple pervasive Truth. "Emptiness here, Emptiness there, but the infinite universe stands always before your eyes. "Infinitely large and infinitely small: no difference, for definitions have vanished and no boundaries are seen." from Third Zen Patriarch "Faith Mind" ============================================ - <thoraxe2002 <pietersa Saturday, June 16, 2001 10:31 AM well, i wish i had your mind, so don't dissolve it!!
