To Scott Mastering Non Doing

[Guest guest]

Dear Scott,

 

Thanks !! your note made some things more clear to me or rather re-inforced to

me what in my heart i think i already knew. Thats is what I meant too. We

cannot stop doing but we need to get out of our way and learn non-doing.., we

can however do what we do with innocence. By innocence i mean we dont let this

trio of ego, nerves, mind etc feed us but approach everything afresh..and as you

say - let the mind be transparent.

 

Non doing does not come naturally because we have all been raised in the value

of strugggle and effort. Some of us play better or reach higher goals when we

are tired out. This is the tough route to non-doing. I had fought as hard as I

could until I had no strength left. At that point once the struggle had run its

course, the wisdom of the body took over and the the solution will just come

from that centre that resides in our core, our sweet spot.

 

Become acquainted with that part of yourself that is beyond reaction, that is

calm , centered, knowing, skillful and always in control. Our ego has never

delivered those qualities to us so why not stop asking it to. We all need to

find our sweet spot within which is our Centre and Core - the Self. It is there

for all of us and we belong there and path to it takes no effort at all.

 

Non Doing is just a way of remembering who you really are. Your are not the

struggle and you never have been . You are the Knower. So just know that you

are!.

 

Thanks for listening and sharing your knowledge

Hello there,

need to get out of our own way. To truly get out of your own way, We

must master non-doing.

 

 

Non-doing is not non-DOing.

 

We cannot BUT DO.

 

What is non-doing?

 

Non-doing is not being dragged around by reactionary thoughts and

mentation, not letting the mind dwell on anything at all, so that all

is completely transparent.

 

If the mind is transparent *wisdom* follows, wisdom in behaviour and

choices.

 

We must not stop or try to stop DOing but stop the mind dwelling or

sticking and reacting to events and circumstances. This non-dwelling

includes non-dwelling on the past present and future.

 

In 'normal' people a puppet like body gets pushed and pulled to and

from events, likes and dislikes, action and reaction, most are not

aware of the effects of their thoughts upon their life.

 

Like and dislike, hate and love are caused by a thinking ME,

that pushes and pulls things toward and away from itself.

 

Ideas and thoughts push and pull empty mind / bodies who think of

themselves as being what they are not.

Mind impacts mind and empty bodies move in the mind of 'God'.

 

A body never moves itself, thought drags it around like a puppeteer.

Consider the consequence of everyday thoughts and the reactions to

others, concepts and thoughts and so on.

 

No-DOing is completely transparent non-dwelling and non-sticking to

thoughts, events and happenings, that sees clearly through

reactionary thought and thought habits.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Scott.
