Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 At first you don't see the wall, you see the absence of the painting. That is what it's like with this state of silence; at first you were hindered by thoughts: by the feeling that's gradually becoming vaguer that you were a thinker, then thoughts and feelings disappear, and now you notice their absence. The accent is not on the silence yet, but on the absence of the other things. But now you only have to wait, you only have to make your self open to the Unknown.

Yes this is right in alignment to what Ganga has said about what remains. She also points to surrender and that in the end there is nothing to be known except the unknowing. Something to this effect. OK it's close but maybe no cigar on the total clarity how she has said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Silence runs a bit more slowly than inner dialogue. It allows time for the moment to emerge as it is whereas the quicker thought overides reality in favor of a conditioned view. Concentrating on the space between thought ot moment stalls the interupting thoughts. Do you find that is true?

This may be why she stresses ways and means to allow the mind to slow. It is like a Zen way . Gives one time to really look at what is coming up as I see it. Speaking of which it is time to quit all the interenet lurking and really do the sitting that is needed. Reading or replying to all this garbage goes nowhere. It simply serves to stoke Judis ongoing delusions. If she is replying to anyone it is in her mind that she has them on the run. What a load of crap. I guess she expects everyone to be hurt that she is as she says laughing behind their backs. But in her case that is really an affirmation that one is on the right track. So by all means please keep laughing. You see if anyone actually checks Judi's posts then they will have a big laugh. > > Realization , " RAMANA MAHARSHI " <unbound@h...> > wrote: > > At first you don't see the wall, you see the absence of the > painting.
