Nondual guided meditation with Michael Taft
Vacancy doesn’t imply one thing doesn’t exist. Even the Buddha refused to say that vacancy means non-existence. Slightly, vacancy is the popularity that an obvious phenomenon is current as an expertise, however that have is solely arising in consciousness. One thing occurring in consciousness is completely different than nothing-at-all; it’s an expertise. However the nature of that have is as nothing greater than an look or arising in consciousness.
(Notice: this says nothing about whether or not there are objects “on the market on the planet for actual” or not. It doesn’t say they’re there. It doesn’t say they’re not there. What we’re speaking about right here is out expertise of the world and ourselves, not the ontological standing (i.e. “realness”) of world and self. We’re solely speaking about our expertise. Don’t fall for this error.)
After we look fastidiously at our expertise, we discover one thing utterly surprising and surprising. Every little thing that we’ve been calling actual is nothing apart from an look within the thoughts. The world, as we expertise it, is nothing apart from an look within the thoughts. Even our self, as we expertise it, is nothing apart from an look within the thoughts. That’s vacancy. (Now return and skim that Notice once more. Perceive?)
After we see straight that every thing is nothing apart from a psychological building (i.e. empty), now we have realized one thing extremely essential. When seen as empty, issues lose their “chunk.” We now not really feel so reactive and upset by what’s occurring, as a result of we see it’s nature clearly. The deeper we see the vacancy, the extra freedom we really feel, the much less reactive we really feel. See just a little vacancy, and you’ll really feel just a little reduction from reactivity. See extra vacancy, and you’ll really feel extra reduction. It’s that simple.
Issues skilled as empty turn out to be fairly stunning. The stream of their arising and passing is skilled as beautiful, like a river or wind within the tall grass. Even the sense of self turns into stunning as it’s seen as empty. That is nonduality.
