Important note: All the posts on this blog were written by Bob Harwood (AKA 'zendancer') on the forum spiritualteachers.proboards.com. I have merely reposted a collection of them in blog format for the convenience of seekers. Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

Being at peace

...in the way that we are discussing it here, involves no one who is at peace, and no form of conceptual remembering or "checking" on states of mind. It is a kind of flow happening to no one, so there is no gap--no one who is looking back to see how things are going.

Sometimes people live life like this for short periods of time--perhaps immediately following an automobile wreck. Peeps become pure action without any reflection. 'Has anybody been hurt?" Get the door open, pull the occupants out, get them away from the car if its on fire, check the bodies for damage, etc. Only later, does the reflective mind reappear and the imagined actor return to the scene. If the imagined actor never returned to check on things or self-reflect, this would be the flow that is being pointed to.

In flow there is no idea of projection, inside, or outside because there is no imagining of any separateness. There is just......well.....flow.
