Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Orientals armies placed prisoners they wanted to break in torture boxes. A cage so small that you could only squat, with no room to stretch. Sometimes, your mind gets trapped in such a box, it's called boredom. Boredom is a magical sadhana box. Stay bored and observe your mind trying to escape, if you do that long enough, the bottom of the box falls off, and there is only floating in infinite nature, silent, dark, fully aware of itself. There is no thing to do, but fear not. No thing is as before, and there is no you, but somehow, you are still there, and thoughts are thoughts, and you can still think, and although there is no doer, you still feel like you do things, and you can even forget, for a while, that there is only emptiness. And you can always go back and float in empty, intimate, infinite true nature whenever you want. Try it, you will like it. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You call it emptiness but that's still a to romantic term, to close to Buddhism. Therefore I prefer " nothing " which is closer to psychology and sociology, to be no one, nothing, nada, a zero-soul Werner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
