Non-meditation
Ciska Matthews
Not trying your best, doing nothing special; no purpose, no special focus, no conscious mindfulness. Awareness is naturally always there. We don't have to achieve it, not create it. This way you are automatically in your natural state.
Inspired by your previous meditations on this forum, I find myself looking for silence and emptiness. But (oh irony…) with that search I try to achieve something…
In any case, it is a nice meditation. thanks.
Nice Bart! Yes, that's right, even to the silence - paradoxically enough - a restless search can come. But… you can observe that (or rather: it is being noticed). Which implicitly means that this seeking is not 'you', it is just a mental response. You can also see this reaction come and go. No problem; you are still there, as a silent presence. That's what this meditation is about, everything may come and pass by itself. The natural awareness is always there, your true nature. This pure awareness is silent and empty in itself. No matter how much noise passes by.
Beautiful insight: This pure awareness is silent and empty in itself,
deepening.
Thanks again.

My 'pitfall' is that the awareness is perceived (which is also a mental reaction). That seems to contain infinity.
Keep practicing.
Thanks again.
