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.

When the mind is quiescent

...there is only __________, and I use the dash to indicate that there are no applicable words or ideas which apply. There is no cognizance of qualia, awareness, consciousness, experience, time, space, thingness, selfhood, patterning, or anything else because there is no mental reflectivity occurring. There is just ___________. We could call it the void or emptiness or suchness, but when ____________is the case, none of these words have any real applicability.
