Meditation

[Guest guest]

Re: MeditationMeditation is the ending of everything that can end.It is one's opening as beginninglessness, the uncreated.-- DanDan! I'm impressed. No one has said it better. See! the less

you write, the more you say. But this is too clear for most people.

A light could be too blinding to see clearly. So let me obscure it

a bit with my version of meditation.

 

'We' ( don't get throw off by the pronouns, they are only grammar)

are a limitation in infinity, a limitation with an urge to expand. This

urge is manifested at all levels. Physically by hunger and thirst by which

we try to incorporate the world, also by sex, and by aggression. Mentally it manifest

itself as the hunger to know. Spiritually as a hunger for infinity and eternity.

 

This hunger for expanding the self (the limitation) at infinitum is doomed to failure.

Only by vanishing can the limitation equal infinity. Let's take the example of expanding

a small rectangle drawn on a piece of paper. There are too methods by which we can

make the rectangle as big as the paper:

 

1) The gradual method of drawing bigger and bigger rectangles until the outline of the

rectangle coincides with the edge of the paper. At the point of coincidence, the

drawing disappears because we have run out of paper.

 

2) The direct approach simple erase the limitation of the drawing.

 

The second, is for me meditation, to simply sit in awareness of being. Not of being this, or

that, just being without goals, motives, or willful activities. Just pure observation of

the here and now. As you so well said, in this ending of everything that can end, in that

ending there is infinity.

 

And people will ask, and after that, then what? What do we do then? Just as before.

The drawing of limitations go on. A blank piece of paper has no meaning. The only

change is that limitations are no longer view as something to be transcended.

A kid throwing pebbles in a still lagoon doesn't see the expanding circles as blemishes.

 

Best wishes,
