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.

...includes both direct perception and imagination with no imaginary controller trying to control anything. The classic statement of this by Hui Neng was, "Without hindrance let the mind function freely." This free functioning includes thoughts of every kind, but there is no one at the helm directing or judging what the mind is doing. It is neither personal nor impersonal; it is simply the flow of isness.

Purposely avoiding imagination is pursued until the one who is purposely avoiding imagination is seen to be non-existent. Afterwards, __________________________.
