Jikwan 131 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Its in the gap We have a constant stream of thoughts, but there are gaps between each thought We have a constant stream of bodily sensations...theres always something going on. One sensation runs into another seamlessly. Actually, there are gaps inbetween. One memory runs into another, into another. What you truly are lies inbetween those gaps When you see whats in the gap...you see your true nature How to do this? Simple and easy Use a fleshy part of your body, say, the lower part of your thighs. Press down with your finger on that part so as to give a distinct feeling One second later, press down on the other thigh giving that similar sensation Do it again putting close attention to those short sharp sensations Do it 5 or 6 times, then stop Notice, what is there...what do you see?

Jikwan 131 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 The secret is in the gap At anytime, day or night we look at our minds, bodies, exteral objects... We see an endless stream of thoughts, feelings, impressions, movement. When one thing ends immediately something replaces it From a thought our attention moves to a feeling. From the feeling to a memory. From the memory to a visual object.....wheres the gaps? Usually there are no gaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jikwan 131 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 But sometimes there are gaps Everybody on earth has experienced an empty gap for usually a short time and dont know what to make of it. Its quiet, its strange, its mystical, its uncomfortable , its boring, its empty, its dark.....i hope it goes away soon etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jikwan 131 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Our true identity is revealed in this mysterious "gap" But there are no gaps! You say Dead right there are no gaps We make some coffee, IMMEDIATELY after our attention goes to making the toast, straight after that our attention is we sipping the coffee. Coffee cup down back on table we think about the shopping list. That ceases when we hear scraping and gnawing sounds in corner of kitchen...our eyes search the floor looking for mice. While we do that we are interrupted by a pain in lower back. Suddenly the thought....the banks are closed! Non stop action of some sort all day and all night Non stop means exactly non stop Non stop is our natural mode of operation No gaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jikwan 131 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 If there are no gaps we must create them Thats the purpose of the crude elementary pressing flesh to cause a distinct sensation. There are many such tricks Whats in the gap? Awareness Thats it? Thats it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
