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.

There will never be an experience in which you are absent

...because if you areabsent, there will be no one to have an experience.

What will happen if the “you" illusion is not attended to for a significant (but unpredictable) amount of time, is a realization that "Mamza" was an illusion. Only a realization can free THIS from the illusion of being a separate entity, and realizations happen when they happen. It is a like a fruit ripening on a vine; the fruit hangs there day after day, but at a particular moment in time it drops to the ground.

Realizations seem to occur more often when attention does not stay focused on imagination. If we think about the two words "realization" and "imagination," we might detect a clue to why this is.
