Guest guest Posted January 1, 2000 Report Share Posted January 1, 2000 Dear Antoine, You wrote: Is calming the mind necessary to "see", "become" or "be" what is behind it? ----------- Very cogent and perceptive question! Perhaps the answer is No. But it may be necessary if only to REALISE that you are seeing (or rather that you ARE) IT. But then again, what does it matter whether you realise it or not, since you anyway are already IT. ------ To Realize oneself, some could say... Does the mind needs to be dragged, "dissolved out of personal choices into the substance of peace", for us to meditate? In other words, does meditating require any form of action? or sentiment? ------------ Again, I would answer No. Best wishes, Nitin Homepage: http://personal.vsnl.com/ntrasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
