Non-meditation meditation: I do not give "you" hope (Part 2)

Reader: Sir, can you talk about the emptiness of self? In fact, the emptiness of the physical substance is better to understand, because after the anatomy, there is nothing, but the emotions and feelings of the heart are really blocked, and you can’t get emptied. How do you understand the emptiness of the self?

Bright: For example, is there a "horse" in a horse? No. Is there a "flower" in a flower? No. Is there a "person" in a person? No. Is there a "stone" in a stone? no.

There is no self-nature in everything, self-nature is the attribute of independence, self-nature is to think that a certain contour of experience consciousness really has independent attributes belonging to this contour, and self-nature is an illusion.

does not have any "thing" with its own independent attributes. Because everything is like a movie, except for the manifestation effect, there is no independent thing in the movie.

The meaning of "empty" does not mean that the effect has no effect, but that the effect does not really contain the "things" that you think exist. In terms of visual effects, you will see countless "things". In fact, they are not things. They are all effects of emptiness similar to movie projection.

Reader: I can look down on my body now, but my emotions are so ugly and empty! Sometimes it feels so congested, it’s so hard to get away!

Bright: There is no "thing" at all, only the unspeakable TA is yourself. Why do you take your body empty? Why eliminate feelings and emotions? Why?

Reader: At the end of the dissection, there is nothing, so the body is empty, and I feel that I cannot bear it.

bright: not like this. It's not what the mind understands.

Reader: Not cool.

is bright: I still don't understand. The effect of the body is certainly not empty. Even if you use your thoughts to dissect, you will never dissect nothing, because your mind will always explain a certain concept or situation, saying: This is the situation. The basic function of ideology is to draw a conclusion. Thinking and rationality may come to this conclusion: "It is impossible to draw a conclusion." You see, is the thinking and reason cunning, not cunning? "No conclusion" is actually a concept or definition or conclusion.Thinking and rationality can never really understand what "unconceptual" is. Don't use your thoughts and reason to dissect or analyze.

Let me ask you again, what is empty? You still have not answered my question.

Reader: Is it an illusion?

Bright: If you say "empty is an illusion", this sentence is equivalent to nonsense. I can continue to ask, what is an "illusion"? I still don't understand.

Reader: I can't answer.

Bright: What is empty? Yes, you can’t even answer what is "empty". What are you upset about?

Reader: Everything is nothing, so empty?

Bright: If you say that the body is empty, it must be visually. It’s not empty, so what is empty?

Reader: Trying to understand...

Bright: You think the body is the "body", and there is something called the "body" inside the outline of the manifestation effect. This concept is not valid, but the appearance effect has these appearance effects of the outline, color and feeling, and the effect is definitely not empty. What is empty is not an effect, what is empty is a definition or concept or self. There is no such thing as a "body" in this manifestation outline.

Reader: Wow, for the first time I know that it is an empty concept and definition! So this concept is fake?

Bright: Yes, emptiness is emptiness without conceptual meaning. In other words, although you know that the mind is telling you: this is the body. But you can't be sure that this is the body, in fact, this is an effect that appears infinitely. It's not really a "body" thing. No concept is valid.

does not hold any concept, it is tantamount to non-self. The statement is different, the meaning is the same.

Interestingly, there is an important saying in Judaism that everything originated from "words". That is to say, all thoughts that exist are concepts, and “words” mean names and definitions of concepts. The function of ideology and reason is to choose a name, and the name taken out is not the truth, but the abstraction.

Reader: This is the so-called upside-down dream, right?

Bright: Read those "unsure" articles,I have written a lot of similar articles, in which I said more carefully. Yes. To understand the manifestation effect of no concept as a certain concept or situation, and to think of contour images without self-nature as having their independent self-nature is to reverse the dream.

said "empty", this word "empty" is not a good word, it is easy to be misunderstood as a void with nothing. Once the misunderstanding becomes a void of nothing, it is tantamount to negating the effect and negating THAT. Although it can be said that the content of the story appearing in the effect is empty, but as the manifestation effect of THAT, THAT is the only reality, not a void (VOID) with nothing.

Everything is not everything, but not nothing, only THAT. A better way to say it is "unsure", unsure = the concept is not established = everything has no self.

Reader: Well, at least I broke another blind spot. I used to think that emptiness means nothing. It is true that everything is dissected to the end, and there is really nothing. It's just everything in the concept of the human eye, which is also a concept.

Bright: When a "house" appears in the visual effect, the mind immediately says: This is a house. Thoughts don’t even need to be said, because thoughts immediately form a logical definition implicitly. This is the house. As soon as the thought rises, the definition is faster than the speed of light, and the concept immediately appears.

But this is not a house, it is an infinite energy manifestation effect, just like the "house" in the movie is not a house. It is just like the house in a dream is not a house. Although the outline seems to be a house, the color seems to be a house. It seems to be a house, but there is no such thing as a house. This "house" concept is not valid.

If you believe that the concept of "house" that your thoughts tell you is true, then you have self-nature, as if the house is really equipped with an independent thing like "house", the self-consciousness illusion is established, this is " Turn your dreams upside down."

is right. The concept of "all things" just doesn't hold. This is the emptiness the Buddha said. But it does not mean that there is no manifestation of "everything" in the manifestation effect of awareness energy.

You said: "Emotions are so ugly and empty!" It is no longer valid to define this emotion as "unsightly and empty". Why should we eliminate the awareness effect of "emotions" that don't need emptyness at all? When you understand,Emotions cannot really be determined (defined) as "emotions". It is infinitely uncertain that the concept of "emotions" has been conceptualized, and there is no need to eliminate the effects of "emotions". Only when something is taken seriously, something needs to be destroyed.

It is the discovery that "emotions" are not emotions, "feelings" are not feelings, and "thoughts" are not thoughts. It is the energy manifestation effect of THAT, or energy flow. In this way, we can subtly surpass these very hidden and stubborn concept determinations or definitions without any effort.

Reader: I also realize that both human and air are made up of atomic electrons. There is a large space in between to move around small nuclei, so there is no separation between human and air, and the world should be connected together. Yes, in this case I am empty.

is bright: this is how it can be understood from the beginning. But this is still a superficial understanding of the concept. If "human" is dissected into molecular electron atoms, it is actually equivalent to transforming the concept of "human" into the definition of "molecular electron atom", replacing old concepts with new ones, or going around in a conceptual illusion. In this way, "things" are conceptually defined. In fact, it is neither a molecule nor an electron, and it has no concept at all. TA is TA, there is no other way to say.

On the contrary, if you rely on your intellectual and rational intelligence to dissect everything, even if you use an infinitely magnified super microscope to magnify, even the "molecular atom electrons" will diverge in the manifestation effect at the end of the dissection. You can't be sure, you can't find it , But the rationality of thought will still define a situation or state, which may be called the "XYZ energy state". It seems to be a clever and complicated concept, but a conceptual definition is formed, and the indeterminate THAT is defined as a certain kind of Confirmed state.

Reader: Really thorough! This has subverted my cognition again.

Bright: It is to question all thoughts and concepts that you think cannot be questioned. It is not that I help you subvert, but you can only increase your sensitivity and subvert yourself.

For example, what you think of as "empty" is not what I mean by empty. What you think of emptiness in your mind is trying to empty and eliminate the manifestation effect of awareness. This is impossible. The real "emptiness" is to discover that they are not "their things" or "their circumstances" as thought in the mind, without establishing a conceptual definition,I don’t name them anymore. Empty does not mean annihilation effect, but does not hold a conceptual definition. I am pointing to "infinite indeterminability".

Even the concept of "infinite indeterminate" itself cannot be established with certainty. What is going on? Unspeakable!

For example, when you see "light", your mind immediately tells you that it is light. NO, this is not light, what is this can never be known, this is the unspeakable THAT. If it is simply defined as "light", then the limited understanding of THAT is an abstract concept, and THAT is named.

For example, when you wake up in the morning, the first thought in your mind is "I woke up". NO, there is no "I" and nothing called "waking up". What's the matter? Unspeakable! unconfirmed!

The more basic sensitivity perception is that when "seeing" occurs, the mind and reason has unaware that it defines the concept of "seeing" faster than the speed of light. Only you, who are very sensitive, can perceive such basic conceptual illusions. NO, "Looking" is not watching! The concept of "Looking" is a lie defined by thought and reason! what exactly is it? Can't say! If you have to say it, just say this is THAT!

not only defines "seeing" quickly and rationally, but also quickly defines that there is an "observer" there. Is this observer an alternative individual definition of "me"? When an "observer" appears, it is equivalent to the "center" illusion. Therefore, if your sensitivity is very high, even the two concepts of "observation" and "observer" are found to be the definition of rational thinking, not the truth.

NO, reality is neither "observation" nor "observer" nor "object of observation". Reality is an undefinable TA, and this TA is the true self. But don't obliterate or eliminate the manifestation effects of "observing, observer, or being observed", knowing that they are not such a thing, just laugh it off.

Reader: I am a bit fragmented, because the definition of empty is different from what I thought I understood in the past.

Bright: When you touch your thigh, your mind immediately tells you "the thigh is firm". NO, this is not the thigh or the hardness, what is it? This is a mystery that can never be known and cannot be determined. You can only say that this feeling of touch is just some kind of conscious manifestation effect of the infinite self.All the definitions, concepts, stories, and logic that thoughts tell you are empty. What is empty are concepts, logic, definitions, and stories.

is like watching a movie. If you don't know that the movie is fake, your mind will say: Look, I saw a living person! When you understand that everything shown in a movie is an energy manifestation effect, are there any "live people" in the movie? No more, so the definitions and concepts that thoughts tell you are not valid. These, for example, claiming that there is a "living person" in the effect is the definition of the concept. The concept definition is empty.

Reader: It means that everything that thought tells me is not true, but how can I transcend thought?

Bright: There is no need to transcend the energy manifestation effect of thought. As long as you know all the concepts, conclusions, logic, and situations that thoughts tell you, all of them are not valid. Knowing this means transcending. Nothing else needs to be changed.

I said, there is no need to eliminate the energy effect of thought, and allow the energy effect of thought to flow through the ups and downs. Don't take the content of the story that the thought tells you as true. Since everything the thought says is not true, let the thought say it. ,harmless.

Reader: I believe what you said, but how do you proceed in life?

Bright: "you" is equivalent to a concept of thought, because this "you" is an untrue concept defined by thought. How can it be possible for an untenable concept "you" to surpass the equally untenable "thought concept"?

Just see it clearly, "thought" cannot surpass "thought". The good news is that you are not your own concept of thought. When you understand that the concept of thought is not valid at all, and you no longer have all the story logic of the thought narrative, this is beyond. But it is not to suppress the flow or ups and downs of the energy of thought.

If there is a specific thing to do, it is to be sensitive to the fact that all the "concepts, situations, logic, and stories" that your thought and reason tell you are not the truth. At this moment, it is completely not the situation that your thought and reason tell you, this is you The only thing to do, there is nothing else that can be done specifically.

Constantly reading my articles, it is equivalent to understanding how to train sensitivity. In fact, I have carefully explained the meaning of empty in my article, but no one understood it. They read it wrong and misunderstood it. People mistakenly thought that what I said was the same thing as a famous master in society.

Reading my articles constantly is the specific approach.

Reader: I can only live by faith before I have the proof. I believe your words 100%, and I am a imaginary person who can’t be true. I only have to keep reading. I hope I can understand, but I can’t even let me go. All misunderstood.

Bright: Attention, do you notice how many unfounded concepts and logics created by your thoughts in the sentence you mentioned above? When you said the above passage, you probably didn't realize that none of the words in it were valid. That "I don't have proof of XXX" is not true. To question the thoughts and concepts that arise in these minds, none of the words in this sentence are valid.

You believe that there is a "you" in your mind, and you also believe that this "you" needs proof. This is not the case at all, there is no such "you" at all, and there is no empirical task assigned to "you". You see, such basic logic is no longer true, but almost no one doubts it. It is very difficult for intellectual reason to perceive that its own logic is untenable.

not only does not have the individual center of "you", there is also no empirical task belonging to "you". For example, does it make sense for you to complete a task in a dream?

The dream in the dream You say: "I want to prove that this is a dream", is it possible? It will never be possible. Because Mengyou has assumed the existence of "Mengyou", this assumption has been established. Needless to say, it's all fooling.

Reader: But this imaginary me makes me think I have to do something to understand the truth and find myself. That must be TA's will?

Bright: It can be said that TA is just playing, "you can prove it", but in the end you find that the fundamental problem is not that it can't be proved, but that the concept of "you" itself does not hold. This discovery is truly empirical, instead of letting an "I" complete the empirical story in the empirical story.

Why does RAMANA suggest that you ask the question "Who am I?"? Instead of asking you to verify what the situation is? RAMANA wants you to find out by asking this question: even the concept of "I" itself cannot be established with certainty. Once you find this, your jaw will fall off in shock, without any problems.

Your goal now is to let a dream character prove what the situation is in the experience story (in the dream),This can be done, but it cannot gain any meaning. But you have the freedom to do so, and until a certain moment, when you are tired, you realize that the original desire to prove itself does not hold. This is the real proof. But before this discovery, this desire can only be dissipated slowly.

Reader: I still have a desire to see the truth, strong.

Bright: To put it another way, you will ask countless questions, and you feel that the questions you ask are logically flawless and are beyond doubt. But you can never get a definite answer. For example, you have been seeking to obtain "truth", but you will never be able to obtain the truth that can be established with certainty. Until a certain moment, you suddenly discovered that none of the logic of the original problem itself is valid, and they are completely unfounded.

For example, "Who am I?" The "I" of the question can never be established. Is there a concept of "who"? Now you will feel that the question itself is a big joke, ridiculous, then no more questions, no answer. At this time, it is equivalent to the real answer: that is, all the situations imagined by the mind are not valid, and the infinity cannot be understood by limited thought and reason.

If you have this strong desire, go explore it, it's the only way to kill the desire.

Reader: And I feel more and more unable to start. At first I thought it was meditation, but later I realized that meditation was useless, so I started to break the illusion again.

Bright: Yes, until the desires are completely despaired, and then? Haha... That's interesting! The good news is that you are not your desire, you are not rational, you are not conscious, you can understand yourself. Suddenly you will find that there is no need to "understand" anything, because you are already yourself. Is the default, is the DEFAULT. This is "no effort".

still return to this basic point: all the logic imagined by thoughts are not true, and all the words spoken by it are not true.

Reader: Then I have to wait for complete despair, but the six ancestors, Robert Adams, Ramada are so young and naturally enlightened.

Bright: Yes, this is TA's will. Maybe it can be said to be LUCK. Real understanding is not something someone can teach you. Who knows how it got here.But I have said everything I can say. If you feel the taste of despair, this is a good thing, because it is a good thing to despair your mind and reason, and it is a bit of experience. It's close.

If someone is hopeful and still in the real world, it is still far away.

Reader: Yeah! Sixth Patriarch is not literate yet! No matter how much we read, what's the use, it can only depend on TA's will.

Bright: Six Patriarchs did not come from studying Buddhism at all. He has not read any scriptures. Yes, it is good to make "you" desperate, because this "you" is not a valid concept.

Reader: I have surrendered and I can't catch anything. I don't have that blessing. I just keep reading. I'm not afraid of death, anyway.

Bright: After all, it is suddenly discovered that nothing has a self that belongs to him. Therefore, "you" does not have the nature of "you", and there is no "you" at all. But there is a feeling of "you" in effect, and there is no need to eliminate this feeling effect. Don't worry, you won't lose the feeling effect of "you" after you understand it. Many people are afraid of losing the feeling of "me" and being unable to be human. This is too much to worry about. No such thing.

Your exclamation above is still the concept of illusion. You said "I surrendered." Where is the surrendered "I"? Have you found this "I"? Where is this unblessed "me"? Go find it, is it in your mind? Or in your body? So, if you can't find the "me" that complains at all, how can you have the concepts of "surrender" and "no blessing"? Don't own these concepts! These concepts have nothing to do with the true self!

Reader: It seems to understand a little bit, no chair has the soul of a chair, you can sit on it.

Bright: The "I" of "I have no blessings" is not the real self. Don't own him. Actually, you see, do you take "me" seriously when you notice it? Think "I" is established? It seems that there are "me" and "my blessings."

That's right! There is no "chair" inside the chair. It can be said that the chair does not have the soul of the chair. In the same way, there is no "you" with a soul that belongs to "you".

But you are still criticizing the "you" that does not need to be criticized.Criticize him for not being blessed, and give him the task of surrender. This "you" is simply an illusion. How can the concept of illusion be blessed? How can you surrender?

Reader: It's just a definition. It's a bit confused to understand it for a while, but it's a stuck point and you have to go over it.

Bright: This is the sensitivity training. Constantly perceive various logical illusions. Slowly mature. At a certain moment, as long as the thought comes together, you will understand that what the thought tells you is an untrue concept, and it is not true. Even "I want to understand" can give up. This is the real understanding. Even "I want to be happy" gave up, which is really blessed. Everything is TA, there is no "you" thing.

I have no hallucinations. I don't want happiness. Because I am TA. Only the "I" in the illusion hopes to be happy. Once you stop pursuing happiness, hey, what does it taste like? Only you can taste it! Unspeakable taste.
