- Contemplation in the form of self-enquiry does leads to non-duality.
- However, one must be receptive to self-enquiry, because it takes on a life of its own, and becomes uncontrollable.
- Meditation prepares the mind for relentless, stoppable self-enquiry that takes over your existence.
- Once self-enquiry takes hold it does not stop, regardless of what you choose.
- Self-enquiry does not stop until there is a resolution. It does not stop for mental exhaustion, or sleeping, or dreaming, or talking, or working or walking.
- Self-enquire is contemplation – concerning who you are and what you are, and especially, what the hell are you doing and why?
- Contemplation puts order to the world, after non-duality changes everything.
- Realization of non-duality is like …drop by drop, the balloon fills. Eventually it appears to be full, but the drops slowly continue, one at a time. The balloon gets bigger, fuller. The drops vary in frequency.
- Then one day, or one night as it so happens, one more drop falls into the balloon, and the balloon bursts all at once.
- What’s left is you, to integrate back into the world.
- To again, tap into memory so you know where you are.
- To again, regain spatial orientation of the body.
- To again, think.
- Contemplation puts order to the new world that was always there unnoticed, for purposes of communication.
- You find that rationality takes precedence when nothing is taken for granted anymore.
- However because you're a human bean, you don't become Spock.
