Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Mind looking at itself sees nothing.....because there is nothing to see. If mind is persistent in the endeavor....the swirling mnemonic debris becomes transparent enough to get glimpses of the natural-world that expands as far as the I can see. This is the Kingdom of Heaven.......The Elysian Fields....Dulcinea....Beatrice....The Peace That Passes Understanding..... This is Shams of Tabriz....The Mother's Gaze.....Long and Lazy...Happy Daze. Along time ago......after a month of fevered night sweats...my teacher placed his hand on my forehead and whispered: " Stay the course.......and all things will become clear.

The " I " emerges downstream from the thinking and assumes ownership. >But does that mean it isn't there? The " I " calls the conceptual flow " mind'. In truth there is no such thing as mind. > Can you see your own thoughts thinking? Thoughts cannot 'see' other thoughts. There is no such thing as a separate...isolated thought There is only the conceptual flowingness......that emerges concurrently with the dream of separation. Conceptualization is illusory separation. toombaru The contents of mind are hidden but present. > Yes?
