  1. Direct experience is mu, as is the arising & falling conceptualization ?????????
  2. Funny mu’s In the beginning there is mu, in the end there is mu, and that in which the beginning and end arises and falls there is mu. Let’s not kid ourselves now mu. Smoke this, snort this, even stick this up your corn hole, then you will know who mu are.
  3. @Joseph Maynor @DrewNows Can it be seen that Ego is only constant from the perspective that it ignores what is constant?
  4. Fosho.. Stability is not dependent upon things, things are dependent upon stability.
  5. As the Sanskrit meaning for meditation is to be free of all measure, to be free of all comparison, free of all becoming.
  6. Awareness (meditation) is not a state or habit. Habits-states arise and fall in awareness(meditation)...until perhaps they don’t?
  7. The we, life, the movie, all arise in and out of this stillness. The stillness is you, and so is the we, life, the movie. DYNAMIC STILLNESS
  8. All of “it” arsies and falls as stillness itself.
  9. Should I control or not control, that is the question damn it!! Why do I have to choose?!! It’s simple dudes..Do I have to move, choose?
  10. When control ceases to distort the already existing silence, stillness is. Stillness never begins or ends. Then it is seen that control was just a vibration that arose from stillness/silence and is actually one and the same as the stillness/silence. Now/stillness-silence is not from moment to moment in time, but that of time arises and falls all within that space/NOW. Time-control are one and the same arising and falling as the NOW.
  11. Ego Traps are unavoidable To accept or condemn is all one movement away from what-is. That movement is born of time. Awareness can attend choiceslessly and see all the subtlety of time arising and falling in an out of itself.
  12. Or even a mat to lie on would be most excellent.
  13. Own it dude? Have you ever considered getting a hammock to put outside? Meditate outdoors
  14. The silence never comes and never goes.
  15. Isolated entities make meditation a habit/experience, but meditation implies awareness of such habits/experiences ..awareness of I am. Meditation never begins or ends, experiences & habits do. Let’s not make what is beautiful/alive a dead thing.
  16. A mind in motion within its conditioned groove/pattern will always move towards or away from the silence. With this is an unending progression/continuity away from The Unnameable.
  17. I am the silence in the swimming and the swimming in the silence
  18. @Arhattobe I started with subject/object thought/experience first my self through observing.
  19. I'm not sure what you mean by growth here. Im simply referring to learning/observing ‘experiencing’. Sure, that happens, that is why exploring the nature of experience/thought has its value.
  20. It's no idea, no philosophical jumbo jumbo, it is most obvious dude. In fact it is quite direct.
