Yeah!!!!!! I thought that might do it........sometimes it's difficult to hit the right note on these old banjos.

Yes. And the sticking point is usually to conceptualise it as a container. Greg Goode deconstructs this very elegantly in his teachings (where he refers to it as the "container metaphor": - http://www.heartofnow.com/

Very good point!

The named is the mother of the ten thousand things (although its nature is satchitananda)

Try v.2.0 - if that doesn't keep you awake, you're already dead.

As anamatva says, Lovingkindness (metta) meditation is an extremely powerful practice. You might also find that Iron John by Robert Bly is useful. However, you really need to interact physically with people who walk the walk.

But that doesn't include the Heart Sutra?

Have you found the Truth within at first hand?

Good luck with that one. Let me know how you get on.

Namaste ihsus

Where is the best place to look for evidence?

How do you know that your interpretation of the Heart Sutra is correct?

Feel free to ask for clarification from me Stosh. I struggle with the written word; I'm much clearer in person (I hope ). (PM me if I don't respond within a reasonable time-frame )

Thanks 3bob Correct me if I'm wrong but is this what you're saying? Trusting The One What you now have to do is to take up His invitation and go on seeing your way Home to Him till your seeing becomes much more than seeing. Till it ripens into trusting wholeheartedly the only One that's absolutely trustworthy, and merging whole-heartedly into the only One that can really be merged into. (Douglas Harding.)

@ 3bob Very interesting post. Thank you.

Hi TI I'm not sure that you derailed the thread. I was very interested to read about the bhuta shuddhi mantra and I did a search that led me to some very interesting information about bija mantras here: - http://swamij.com/chakra-meditation.htm and the universal mantra here: - http://swamij.com/soham-mantra.htm So, thanks for the post, it's appreciated. I may give this bhuta shuddhi mantra and the soham mantra a go myself. My own practices are going well thanks; I hope that yours are going well too. g

Beautifully put. Thank you.

Thanks Apech. Could you point me towards the personal practice forum rules and the technical handbook please? Namaste :-)

No.

Yes. That's it.

@ Owledge I actually found it quite nouvelle vague (but I enjoyed the rant).
