“Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.” ThinkingSelfRunningLostBehindsAwarenessActivityPossessionCeaseServingAutonomousSelf Serving Author:Eckhart Tolle
“The point of the overall meditative path is to have Wakefulness (or Consciousness as Such) transcend and include all state-realms, so it ceases to "black out" or "forget" various changes of state (such as dreaming and deep sleep), and instead recognizes a "constant Consciousness" or ever-present nondual Awareness, the union (and transcendence) of individual finite self and infinite Spirit.” SelfStatesDreamSpiritIndividualBlackSleepForgetConsciousnessPathAwarenessInfiniteConstantUnionsVariousCeaseRealmsFiniteTranscendenceDeep SleepAll State Book:The Fourth Turning: Imagining the Evolution of an Integral Buddhism Source: The Fourth Turning: Imagining the Evolution of an Integral Buddhism
“Objects must cease, mind must become just a pure mirror - a mirroring, not mirroring anything - just a mirror without any object in it, a pure mirror. By dhyan, this purity of the mind is indicated. So first, no object should be in the mind. Mind must remain alone without thinking about anything - with no thought, just a consciousness, just an awareness, just an alertness. This alertness without any object is meditation.” ThinkingShouldMindFirstsConsciousnessMeditationAwarenessObjectsPureMirrorsCeasePurityAlertnessMirroring Author:Rajneesh
