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.

Activities such as ATA and shikan taza

...are initially a means to an end. After satori, some people lose interest in meditative activities and some don't. If those activities continue subsequent to satori, they are no longer pursued because there are ideas about someone getting something as a result. It is more a case of what Adyashanti describes as "allowing things to be as they are." The universe ceases to identify as a person, but continues to look non-conceptually both within and without. This naturally leads to a kind of wholeness, service, and love. Service is rendered without reflection or conceived motive.
