...The Path to Enlightenment boring? Zen Bollocks. <br /><br />Anonymous I feel your vibe because I have exactly been there. <br />For me Advaita Vedanta and the likes of Soto Zen are truly helpful for Final Realisation, but if you do not have the method to cultivate, transform, redirect and use the earth’s nurturing ground energy, food energy, sexual energy, primal fight or flight energy, emotional energy, mind energy, voice energy, the cosmic energy taken in through the breath and the pure nurturing energy from the mysterious art of sleep, rest, relaxation and meditation, to create a multi-dimensional expansion of consciousness, which reveals the Truth of what you really are, then life is indeed boring. <br /> <br />But when you realise this body has multi-dimensional functions and that you have the ability to enter and exit the conditioned temporal state and the unconditioned primordial state at will, incarnation is truly multi-dimensional and awe inspiring.<br /><br />True meditation methods are dynamic, active and passive and when this is found to be so, the body, its animating energy, heart-mind, intention-power, awakened Intelligence and the all-immersing void that interpenetrates and transcends all matter, energy and Intelligence unite and all action comes from emptiness, your true stateless state.<br /><br />Death, deep dreamless sleep and meditation are exactly the same door and people spend years in useless meditations that do not take them to the door, not realising there are many other dynamic and active methods that lead to the passive stages and if through a dynamic method you go to the point of death consciously and scientifically, guided by your own Unconditioned Intelligence that is with you moment to moment, you will find in one session you cannot die; will not die and that you have incredible dormant internal power in this body for all action in this temporal dimension, including the ability to leave it like a shell at will.<br /><br />Exciting stuff for the bored. <br /><br />Take a leap of faith; trust your 'I Amness' and find your true nature, because once you find your method to unlock your internal power - and as stated by Edji there are many, you will surely find the Path to the ultimate convergence in Oneself is anything but boring and there is no kick in the balls and no need to escape the world, because in this very body is the Buddha and you are That.<br />No Zen Bollocks! <br />Lord Sam RamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-32639159433315572082011-06-06T05:32:54.590-07:002011-06-06T05:32:54.590-07:00All that exists, exists in Awareness, it is itself...All that exists, exists in Awareness, it is itself Love. Voids or no voids, bliss or no bliss, consciousness or no consciousness it all happens in Awareness. And we are THAT.<br />A man comes to forest, he sees an animal, suddenly he tries to pet him, to control him, he can't help it, he was trained like that, he was taught Love can be pursued and directed. What a joke. Animal flees away when man is seen. Why? Simply because animal recognizes that the man is disconnected from Spirit.<br />But when man just stands there and just loves that animal, just LOVES it, does not direct Love anywhere, does not try to heal anything, but just LOVES, i.e. recognizes That which is in him, the same is in animal, thus humbles himself before animal, suddenly a miracle happens... animal starts to interact, it does not go away, it is not afraid anymore of a man, because now it feels that man, just by BEING=LOVING, accepts that animal as the same.<br />Thus, opening up to this Love, letting the mind to just rest in it, one starts gradually (or not) to see that this mystery interacts and teaches man through various ways: through people, animals, situations, patterns... and one stands in awe, it is like a veil has been lifted, like to a diseased eye glasses have been given... suddenly man starts to understand what LIFE is really. It is fully organic and moving non-boring mystery. Now nature is seen through different eyes...<br /><br />And all of it happens in Awareness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-21501716935460606202011-06-05T22:13:36.191-07:002011-06-05T22:13:36.191-07:00The point is not to get caught in concepts.

But if you love it, rather than just dive deeply into the Void, it will show you everything.<br /><br />And, meditation is far from boring if you feel your own existence. The I Am. Until then you can get lost in nothingness, darkness, or even the vastness of the clear lighted Void.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-9941318584228718752011-06-05T21:42:58.470-07:002011-06-05T21:42:58.470-07:00"Sasaki Roshi, one morning in Taesho at Mt.

Baldy in 1972, said enlightenment can become boring and talked about the need for involvement in life."<br /><br />Not much of an endorsement is it?<br /><br />Meditation is also boring, but I persevere because I've been led to believe the destination is worth the journey.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering why, or anyone bothers - apart from hoping to find escape from the world.<br /><br />It's beginning to sound like a rip-off.
