Hunting Original Mind

[Guest guest]

There are certain things a hunter must know:

 

A) The appearance of his quarry, and its

nature and habits.

 

B) The best trap to use.

 

How does original mind looks like?

 

It doesn't looks like this or that. You know the beast by

it's proximity. Everything changes when it approaches:

The forest becomes quiet, a pervasive silence descends

on all things. A soft, ethereal light bathes the forest, an

indefinable sweetness fills the brain, and love is kindled.

 

In hunting original mind, quietness is the only trap that

works because the quarry is the most elusive and shy

of all creatures. Immobility of body and mind are essential.

Deep quietude is required. Not the quietude of somnolence,

but a completely alert one. True mind is drown to this

quietude as if by a magnet. Only this complete not doing of

body and mind is required.

 

As the beast approaches, greed will try to jump on it. This

is a fatal mistake. You must remain indifferent, as if nothing

is happening. If we remain absolutely still the creature will

jump on our lap. When it chooses to leave, let it go. Don't

try to capture it, or find it with your thoughts. Looking for

original mind in ideas is like beating a drum when looking

for silence.

 

It will take several visits before the creature makes a nest in

your head. You must be patient, quiet, alert.

 

Good hunting,
