and here is an end to time. Timelessness. Eternity. An enlightened Monk was asked what it was like to be enlightened and living in the every day world. He answered "exactly the same except [I'm] two inches off the ground." Can't recall the source, dang it. "Suppose that, after having got rid of all sensations, one should goWow, and I thought my brother-in-law was just stupid and drunk all the time! Just goes to show you. @boniface  The Heart Sutra says : form is only emptiness, emptiness only form.form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form, feeling, thought and choice, consciousness itself are the same as this. All things are the primal void, which is not stained or pure, nor does it wax or wane...so the bodhisattva comes to full and perfect vision. braw laddie I am currently fascinated by the concept of 'ma', which crops up a lot in discussions architecture and art. Rooted in Zen, hence Tao, it is roughly the same as space or interval, and is involved in questions of the presence of emptiness, the absence of form, and questions such as whether zero is something or nothing.... Hm, I haven't heard about the word "ma" in that context. Although I am, I believe, familiar with the concept. In thinking about a void, or emptiness, what comes to mind is the old saying, "nature abhors a void." In creating a composition, whether the artist is a painter, architect, musician, sculptor, or what-not, an artist must always think about and make allowances for the "interval," or the "void." This is because in knowing his audience the artist knows that the natural inclination of the viewer is "expectation" when confronted with the "negative space" of a void and will naturally want something to fill it. However, the audience in not thinking of themselves as a integral part of ... unanimously assert that they have attained to this complete vacuum of particular mental contents, but that what then happens is quite different from a lapse into unconsciousness. On the contrary, what emerges is a state of pure consciousness - "pure" in the sense that it is not the consciousness of any empirical content.after going through a deep meditation i have visited that state of no particular affair .. -) yet then, one of the Q is : what's then?? can you be "there" and "come back here" and on? .. if u just stay "there" - and no come back to tell (why do or act at all in a state of pure consc?)..... could it be communicated to one other than oneself ?? .... |
