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.

Intellectual understanding limits

When we get to a point where intellectual understanding has gone as far as it can go, it's time to relax and live life without reflection. Any time the idea of waiting for anything arises, shift attention to whatever is happening at that moment. There is no one waiting for anything; that's another aspect of the "me" illusion. Your ordinary life is the Way. Remain attentive. Simply look, listen, and act. Moment by moment the body knows what to do. If there is attentiveness without self-referential "checking," or any kind of expectation, the sense of being a "me" will sooner or later collapse.
