If attention is shifted away from concepts to what is seen or heard, and if this is done persistently, one eventually comes to live in a world that cannot be imagined or adequately described. Thought structures lose their importance, or fall away entirely, and not-knowing becomes a way of life. It is like being engaged in a game of tennis so deeply and intensely that only the activity remains. There is no sense of time, space, separation or even self existence. The mind is engaged when it is useful to do so, but it mostly idles in the background without creating problems. Even the mind is not thought about except when writing messages on an internet forum. Is this duality or non-duality? The posited question elicits a smile and then a chuckle, and then the body/mind puts away the laptop and goes to do what has to be done next.
