It is like emptiness. If you grasp at emptiness then you are a fool.
But if you use emptiness while knowing that emptiness is also empty
(thus not grasping at it), then you are wise.
The same for the Middle Way.
It would be a shame if you were to miss this great opportunity just
because you are tripping over the flowers in the carpet design.
Stop playing the fool. You are wasting your time. Death is closing

And here you make them incompatible. Which is wrong.
That is the hinayana view; the opposition of samsara and Nirvana.
That is indulging into dualism.
They are not incompatible. In fact they are inseparable, fully
compatible.
And after being drowning into dualism, you claim back non-duality as

You are still to confused about everything; stop faking and return
studying, and meditating. You have not understood/realized it yet.
Sorry.
Gileht
First: Emptiness, or the Tetralemma, or the Middle Way are
non-affirming negation; not you !
The question was about the Middle Way, not about the self.
Second, you are underestimating Nagarjuna's teaching. It is a lost
for you. You "suppose" too much without any proof.
Maybe you are afraid that emptiness, or returning to the ocean as
you said, would mean that you completely lose your identity, your
self.
Well, that would be falling into nihilism.
Emptiness doesn't deny you self, it only deny its independent
existence.
So you see there is no reason to be afraid of water. You are already
immerse in it, but still you are dependently arisen and functional.
No ? :-)

*****SPV....And this is so true. And Buddha said the chance for
Enlightenment is so small it would be like a man in the ocean hoping for
a life preserver to fall from the sky.
And why? The greatest thing the devil ever did was convince people that
he did not exist. The ego is the same thing but at a different level.
The Ego is the devil in all of us. And it does not make sense to change
thy brother. It does not make sense other people should show you the
way for they are lost themselves. Only you can fight the devil that
inside yourself. If everyone purged the negativity out of their own
hearts then the world would just get to be a better place. But that is
not the way. Everyone is Enlightened and they are trying to Enlighten
others to their own personal non-enlightened point of view.
I got up this morning knowing the PGA Golf Tournement is going to be on
TV all day. So I got up at 7:23 am when my eyes openned and I realized
I was still with a slight sore throat. I put on some jeans and went
across town and bought $20 of steaks of high quality for $9.95 because
of the discount in that the five steaks were getting old. Or did I mean
aged. Then I went up the street to the liquor store and got a pint of
whiskey. Then I came home and I went across the street and got eggs and
lettuce and a bell pepper and then a cup of designer coffee and then a
Petite Pain of French Bread at the Breadworks and then I came home. I
have the air conditioner on. I have my business all caught up and
everyone is happy. I have a few cigarettes and a pint of Whiskey and 5
nice steaks and salad and dressing and gravy and bacon and eggs and
French Bread.
I don't expect to see daylight for the next few days and I am going to
just throughly enjoy myself and being absolutely alone. If I need more
liquor I just walk across the street. I don't have the slightest need
to drive the car drunk. None whatsoever.
You see the deal. I am working on myself to have a good time. At 50
this is the time I have and I can do this everyday but the body will not
stand for so much fun and the whiskey burns a hole in the gut if I drink
too much. Everything in moderation. Everything right down the middle
of the road. Nothing so good, and nothing so bad. Nothing much of a
great idea and nothing much of a bad idea.
And now women look at me like I am a bum. Yet I am so successful.

**********SPV.......You never answer my posts because I fear you don't

would give an example of my own experience. In the case above you do
not give an example of your own fear and what you are afraid of. Why
should you tell anyone anything unless you prove you have gained the
lesson of anger and fear and being afraid yourself?
You see the weakness. It is east to look at others, and it is almost
impossible to see your own fault because you are in denial of them. You
do not want to face them so at the slightest hint you repress it into
your unconscious mind and those insecurities and fears and greed and
hatred and envy and all the negative emotions are buried wounds that
make up your ego. They are wounds deep down inside your own being that
you must go in and cleanse from your own soul.
I could help you but you can't see what I am saying.

*****SPV....The very nature of man is to destroy and repress or silence.
But that is not freedom because that which you repress is there to
take it revenge later. A real man would go in and remove the struggle
and striff of the wounds in the unconscious and then thoughts are not
created to begin with. You got to cut the root. You got to face the
desires and see them for the insecurity that they are.

*****SPV.....The first clue for you Gilbert is that everything you say
is negative. Get it. If it's all 100% negative you are an expression
of Ego and not of any Enlightenment at all. If you were a little
positive you would be showing some light, but every comment is negative.
Sorry fellow you lost before you tried. No wonder you will not read my
posts. They must be painful for you.
*****SPV......No, I will show you. Nirvana is the extinction of the
mind, of the daydream, of thought. It does not mean the extinction of
all consciousness. I know this because I go beyond the mind and there
is an extinction of thoughts, of desires, of daydreams. You are aware
in the present. You have learned the word Nirvana wrong because it was
not your experience and only your knowledge from a book. Knowledge is
first level knowledge and awareness of experience is wisdom or second
level knowledge as the Greeks would say. Socrates was a man of second
level knowledge and known as the wisest man in Athens.
Do you see the lesson?
Extinction of what is the question.
Extinction of grasping doesn't mean extinction of activities, or
speech, or self. That would be annihilationism (nihilism). And the
Buddha didn't teach annihilationism.
The simile of the blowing out of the candle is just a simile to make
a point; it should not be taken literally. Otherwise you would just
have to kill yourself to do it.
Your understanding is very superficial, not deep enough.
Gileht
now that is pure nihilism.
i salute you comrade,
but unfortunately we
cannot be extinguished
so easily.
trust me, i have been
trying to terminate myself

so you may as well get
used to being immortal.
**********SPV.....Compared to your understand I am the H-Bomb and you

*****SPV.....Who says I did. Just watch I will chew him up because he
is nonsense and I am telling the truth from experience. Just watch. He
will not even show up for the meet.
The so-called Middle Way is another lie, another deception that helps delay
the realisation that there is no awareness but your own and no other
conscious or unconscious beings. To say that everything does not exist
inherently, means that everything does not exist independently of you, when
it says everything is not non-existence it means that everything is just
like a dream.
In the void self-awareness persists despite there being no sense of
other-self. This may be heresy to your intellectually formed views and even
to your partial experiences of peace. There is no consciousness without a
sense of self however subtle. The humour is that the Great Unconscious Void
becomes conscious through a point of view or a self-awareness which is
dependent on having a story or continuum of consciousness that is actually
created in the present and involves a fantasy that there are things and
beings that exist even if only as mere appearances to the self-awareness.

T---this shows that you have never gone beyond the script but as only I can
have done that I cannot hold it aganst you. My view is so far beyond even

And vice versa. You don't exist independently of the rest. That part
you don't get yet. Right ?

I would go deep into meditation and thoughts were extinish and I would
then be alone and floating then the bliss would come. How could this
not be the way? Where am I wrong? If not bliss what then do you want?
Bliss is the nectar of the Gods. And if not bliss for a goal then
what are you struggling for?
I keep showing you the correct and proper path and there is no ignorance
or stupid or abuse of even cost and you guys reject.
I give you the perfect path and you reject for all kinds of reasons.
Now how fucking dumb are you? I don't ask for money, nor sex, no
worship nor anything. I give it all and who will take it? Nobody even
is interested. Look, Look here is gold! And people look at you funny.

*****SPV.....Oh, look I have found a hook!
Ok ok let's take the wave and the ocean, it is more common.
The question is "are they one or two?" "Can we distinguish one from
the other."
The usual answer is : no.
The detailed answer is:
They are not separate/different, but still not the same.
One cannot exist without the other, one implies the other.
They are inseparable, conceptually interdependent, non-dual: not
two, not one.
And this also applies to cause and effect, to space and objects,
time and objects, mind and apparent world objects (concepts and
matter), self ad others, no-self and karma, one and two, good and
bad, left and right, pure and impure, Nirvana and samsara, wisdom
and method/merit, emptiness and dependent arising, non-existence and
existence, discontinuity and continuity, conceptualization and
non-conceptualization, duality and non-duality ... to all
conceptually related pairs (or duality).
That is non-duality beyond all conceptualization (even beyond the
duality duality vs. non-duality).

******SPV...Tell us your experience of the void then.
*************SPV.......Now how could the void exist without some type of
consciousness to be aware of the void? By it's very nature it must be
full of consciousness. So to call it a void would only be saying that
it is void of something. Not totally void then nothing would know it
even existed and something imagine in the mind is not a real thing. So
if the void is real then it must be experience and to do that it must be
full of your own awarness so when they say the void, it is not a literal
void, it is a high state of conscious void of thoughts and daydreams and
wounds and emotions.
**************SPV.....The void is the space in deep meditation where the
body is so still it might as well be asleep and the mind is not thinking
and desires are not desiring and the emotions are not emoting. You are
alone, existing in eternity. You are floating, a point of pure
awareness floating in eternity or the void.
But you guys have never meditated watching the breath so you don't know
what I am talking about. You would rather imagine you know.
I've never experienced it. No one does. There's nothing to experience. ..
Ape;)
*******************SPV..........So not knowing you read books and fill
in your febble understanding with beliefs that are just simply untrue.
A real man does not have beliefs. He knows what he knows from
experience and verification and then he knows what he has not verified.
He would have no beliefs at all. He would say, "I don't know."
Now being you guys are maybe above average in intelligence and can work
a computer and at least write English you are like ants and maggots in
your efforts to verify the silly shit you profess from your febble book
learning of religion.
So considering I have very little to work with, we shall work the void
for the World Zen Championship.
Do any of you children have any experience with the void. If so could
you tell us what experience and how you attain to the void. In other
words could you verify for us your silly beliefs.
OK, who wants to go first. Which of you think they know what the VOID is?
***********SPV......Now isn't that a dumb answer. So the Void does not
exist? But if it doesn't exist then how can it be void of anything?
Your logic is not sound. To have a void you must have something that is
empty. And if something exist then you can experience it if nothing
else but a void of something.
You will not admit that your understanding of the void is wrong. I mean
I can prove it to you a 100 different ways. Keep trying.

********SPV.......This is true. The void is beyond the mind and
thoughts and daydreams and emotions and the body. It is that spot in
deep meditation when your pure awareness has grown from watching the
breath that everything goes to sleep but your awareness of being.
Just take a deep breath and look around the room you are in. Just
stopping the breath stops the thoughts and pure awareness is there for a
few moments. Just be aware of the held breath and the room and the body
you inhabit. The human machine is just something to carry the awareness
that is really you. In that moment where the mind is not thinking you
are aware of your world in the present. You can experience the void in
the marketplace. It is called the first Satori. And in the new World
Zen Championship we will be arguing and some of the arguments will take
us into the void. Let us know your experience.
>

*******SPV....Tell us of your experience. Tell us the details. Tell us
the momment you realized you were moving through the void?
> does watching one's breath on a

********SPV.....Cold day? Warm day? What difference if you watch the
breath? I will tell you the difference between you and me. When you
are cold you dream of it being warm and you think about the girlfriend
at home near the fire and the wine and the sex later in the day. When I
am cold, I get up and put on a jacket. When you are hot you daydream
about getting in the cool tub with the girlfriend giving you head over
the side of the tub and the cold beer, and I just take of my shirt and
moving into the shade.
You are full of thoughts and daydreams and desires and I live my life in
the Void.
Your life is a wreck and my life has some grace to it.
You must admit that I live better than anyone without much money at all.
You got to admit I live with tons of grace.
I'd say a void filled by your consciousness isn't a void. It's something
else. .. Ape;)
ji agree about the beliefs
and i have experience with the void
lol
but i did not attain it or anything
actually i don't see any attaining anywhere
but it is difficult to explain why not
9 Stages of Samadhi
1. Sa Vitarka; This stage is the fringes of initial samadhi accompanied by
supra-mental deliberation called vitarka. In this initial stage there is
ideation but not thought. At this stage samadhi is still knowledge bearing.
2. Nir-vitarka; This stage is without supra-mental deliberation and can
contain astral and causal sounds, light and knowledge.
3. Vichara; In this stage, supra-mentation renews reflection of ideation but
not of thought.
4. Nir-vichara; In this stage the supra-mentationional ideation has ceased
and gives way to transcendent knowledge which is clear and truth-bearing.
5. Ananda; In this stage you withdraw from all objective realities. This
stage is an enstasis that is connected with the awareness of supreme bliss.
In this stage one must relinquish the attachment to bliss to progress
further.
6. Asmita; This stage is an enstasis with the scepter of being. Asmita is
the last of the samadhis classified as extroverted enstasis with
supra-mental cognition of matter. These stages are known as samprajnata
samadhi, meaning with transcendental knowledge.
7. Purusha-khyati; This stage is total , uninterrupted discerning vision
between universe and the self. This stage begins the transcending of
supra-mental knowledge.
8. Asam praj-nata; This stage of samadhi is the enstasis obtained by
complete renunciation of all worldly objects. This state is devoid of
conscious impressions and only subconscious impressions remain. These
subconscious impressions are called samskaras
9. Dharma-mega; Dharma-mega samadhi is the enstasis producing an involution
of the primary energies, or gunas. This samadhi crosses over completely from
relative existence.
Emancipation; Kaivalya
After these 9 steps of samadhi are obtained, and one can dive right past
certain steps when in deep meditation, Kaivalya is the final stage. This
state can be symbolically described as amorphous clay; it can be changed
into anything.
******SPV....Fair enough. And I would say that a void that does not
exist is not a void either. You can't have it both ways.
If "you" still exist, and "you" are aware that "you" are alone, and "you"
have the sensation of floating, "you" are not the experience of "you" not
being "you." Anyone can go to Disneyland. .. Ape;)

*********SPV.....There is no *I* because there is no thinking. There is
no lonilness because you are *alone* and you exist in this void. The
moment you daydream you are somewhere else and in a dream. The void is
the absence of thinking and dreaming and feeling like the body. Body
idenification is gone. You are alone and existing in eternity.
Where were you before you were conceived? Nowhere as nothing, right? If my
memory serves me right, that's the void that got this discussion started.
Being aware of my unawareness has never been my bag. .. Ape;)

the breath and the body is the body and your emotions the emotions yet

*********SPV.....You are sitting and you can hear the kids playing down
the street two doors down and you can hear the cars on the street and it
is subtle but you are more aware then ever before of what is going on
around you. (I had a van once and I lived in it on the street. The
crickets and I would just fall into tune because I have a Buddhafield
and those near me fall into tune with me. That is why I always send
them away. So they will grow and become real men on their own. So the
crickets would churp and I would just be aware and when an animal came
like a fox or a racoon or a skunk they would drop into a half note.
Then when nothing was there they would go back. When a man came buy
they would stop altogether. You couldn't but a more sensitive system
for alerting you to what was going on for about 1/2 a block around you.)

*********SPV.....Going deeper you feel the wound of your being for the
negative repressed emotions that they are. You feel guilt but there is
no mind and no blame. You feel anger but there is nothing to be angry
about. There is no thought.

you are not pissing on everything or trying to leave your sent.

********************SPV.......Just as I have said, "No Bliss then no
Samadhi". You remember me saying that? Oh look it is a requirement of
Samadhi. This is like saying, "Unless you catch a fish you are not
eating tonight." And yes you must go beyond the bliss and you must
transcent everything. Drugs, smoking, drinking, women, everything.

******************SPV......Oh I just said this. You must have
experience going beyond all the vices, going beyond sex and thoughts and
emotions and the body. You must have knowledge of the transcendental.

*********************SPV....This is where you exist in the void.
Nothing of samskaras should remain. You are beyond all of that now.
You are totally alone and yet you exist. It took me a long time to
understand. God is awareness and when I was floating in the void I was
merged with God. Only God exist and each of use has a spark of God in
us. We all make up God and God is all of us. It is ONENESS.

*****SPV.......The opposite of existence is the void. You go beyond the
material into that which is strictly and completely spiritual.

**************SPV.....I was floating in the magnetic field of the earth.
Where were you? The magnetic field of the earth is like a carrier
wave. It can carry your spirit, your essence, your thoughts and it is
everywhere all the time. It is my next level up and what you would call
a God aspect. You have no experience and only think you believe the
things you believe in. I know the reality. I know where we came from
was no *void* as you call it. I came from somethere and that somewhere
can be verified and explained. So your logic breaks right down here.

*****************SPV.......But there must first be bliss in Samadhi to
go beyond. My words were, "No Samadhi, then no bliss." Or "No Bliss
then no Samadhi." Sure you got to go beyond everything. Pure awareness
flowing in the void in bliss is beyond everything material. Then you go
beyond that and you are *ALONE* merged with God. And God is very
orgasmic. God is incredibly blissful. But it is more subtle. It is
the final wholeness of being with bliss. It is a subtle feeling of
fulness, just being content.
If you weren't there, how do you know? Oh, by the way, I've experienced
those same sensations, and more. Hallucinations come easily to me. ..
