#No Mind

[chillwithnea]

you don't have to fulfill anything or anyone. no inner man, no outer man. you are already fulfilled. detach and disidentify from the stories that say you're not. you're fulfillment itself.

[mountain-sage]

If you become enlightened, all delusions are eliminated. There is not even a trace of the act of having rid oneself of those delusions.

This state is what we call "No Mind." But this is not a state of suspended animation. It is the recovery of the state of the Great Light.

Its the principle of coming out of darkness into Light, but Light which is beyond light and darkness.

It's the same as a dust-covered mirror being cleaned and recovering its function to reflect light. When you open the Eye, everything is the Great Light, everything is Buddha, and every place is a Buddha-field. And when this happens and you have the purity of the heart of a child, you see that mountains are floating on water.

This is the world of enlightenment.

“With no-mind, blossoms invite the butterfly;

With no-mind the butterfly visits the blossoms.

When the flower blooms, the butterfly comes;

When the butterfly comes, the flower blooms.”

Mind clearing hack: ask yourself “what will my next thought be?” ~ when you’re stuck in a mental loop, when your mind is loud, when creating or meditating - this question will immediately still and silence your thoughts. Repeat as needed.

How To Achieve No Mind State In 1 Minute

[mountain-sage]

Between two thoughts there is a period of silence which is not related to the thought process. If you observe you will see that that period of silence, that interval, is not of time and the discovery of that interval, the full experiencing of that interval, liberates you from conditioning

"Some people really are great naturally at living in the Beginner's Mind and usually these people question a lot. And sometimes we think, 'Oh, those questions are stupid.' *laughs* 'Why is someone asking that question?'

But NO, when you're asking a question you're allowing yourself to admit and sit as a student in the situation, and say, 'Wait, wait, wait. I don't understand that part.' Or, 'Wait, tell me how that part works.' You know what I mean? It's good to question!"
