fast moving motionlessness.

[mkirkpatrick]

Be still and know that "I" am here, an ancient saying,but how very true,within stillness wisdom comes "online" and a doorway to that which IS opens up.Our every day existence fools us into thinking that we need to get "things" done! Time is of the essence,we are mesmerised by constant motion,like being in a trance like state and swaying like a coiled cobra about to strike! When we sit down close our eyes and begin to meditate,we start the process of slowing down,the body,the mind,the brain,and switching of the internal dialogue that is mostly useless crap and of no real value,we begin to enter a timeless void,where all is still and inner peace prevails,then when we are stilled in mind and body,a flash of insight will appear,and a new understanding will unfold,we need the stillness as much as we need physical food,maybe even more so.

Nothing really needs to get done, but you might want to start cooking your dinner.

If I had the choice I would rename this thread "fast moving stillness" as on reflection seems more inline with what I want to say,like a ZEN Koan,the idea of fast moving stillness jars the mind and disrupts the flow of thoughts,this then can allow a stillness to arise within the mind and in so doing will open up the doorway to fresh understanding.
