Orb Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 For some "time" I got the sense that something was bring overlooked in this investigation of direct experience. And finally it has been revealed, the magic of non reaction. Ever notice reactivity in the most silly moments? Like you might try to eat a sandwich with too much stuff in it and the food just falls all over the place and there's a reaction, that reaction is completely unnecessary. The less reactivity there is to thought, the more they are let go! Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
