"<br />I thought that this practice; asking oneself these questions; create an experience that is not rational. <br />Here words are used in a way very different from every day life: they create, when listened to, a strange emptiness; space in between ... the strange thing is that one can't hang out there a long time, unless trained with practiceDarienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702194675921345663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735806083613637800.post-60046166266082552002014-12-19T08:09:40.207-08:002014-12-19T08:09:40.207-08:00Re: When you let go [and when ‘you’ are let go] so...Re: When you let go [and when ‘you’ are let go] so completely, what's left?<br />It all leads to this, doesn’t it?

We do need to ask ourself constantly: why do I practise (or not practice, sometimes...)Is it to suport my image as a Do-It-Yourself philosopher, psychologist or neuroscientist or to experience knowing? If I'm to be honest, my ego does struggle with this, and yet my experience is that the more I rest and not resist, the stronger my practice naturally arises. It seems the only thing I have to "work" with is myself.Todd Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598448980793213666noreply@blogger.com
