Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hello Peter, first of all thanks for your articles her on the list. This is really appreciated. Makes my heart sing when it is made clear, that there are no contradictions between Yoga and Advaita, for example. Sometimes other voices can be heard, claiming antagonies between Yoga and Self-Inquiry - your work shows that obviously in the end its all the same...(self), so thanks again! i have one Question regarding the neutral mind: My understanding up to now was, that the neutral mind is not the same as the Self, but that in the neutral mind the object/subject duality still exists, being only balanced and calmed; that there is still a subject seeing objects while staying in the neutral mind. So neutral mind for me was more like "the observer". When i read your article, it seemed to me that in reality there is no difference between neutral mind and self: That only then, when "neti,neti" and "you are that" merge together into the Oneness of Self, the neutral mind is established. So in KY, is the neutral mind more like the observer or is it the self shining through ? Blessings and Sat Nam Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Jordan, I'll say something here about the neutral mind you can agree or disagree. The 'self' that I'm speaking of is the mere-I or the mine. This is mine or iam this. This self is toally non-existant. Yet existant. It comes from misconceptions of the transitory collection. What we really are anatman or emptiness (which doesn't mean doesn't exist) It believes the mere-I exists. We are under that delusuion. Neutrality is talked about in many religions. Karma begins with attraction/repulsion. Mahayana is what's called in hindu/buddhism. Try Nagarjuna. Sounds like he might be just what you're looking for.
