Guest guest Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 ... You don't need visions of merging with the totality of the Universe. Just be what you are, where you are. Clean the toilet. Walk the dog. Do your work. That's the most magical thing there is. If you really want to merge with God, that's the way to do it. This moment. You sitting there with your hand in your underwear and potato chip crumbs on your chin, scrolling down your computer screen thinking " This guy's out of his mind. " This very moment is Enlightenment. This moment has never come before and once it's gone, it's gone forever. You are this moment. This moment is you. This very moment is you merging with the total Universe, with God Himself. source: www.hardcorezen.com Era > First there is the *taste* of nothingness. > It may take a long time to find the savor. > But when it comes, it is unmistakeable. > > Then there is the release of attachment > to that " little nirvana " .
