An Exercise in Insight

Pick a place to sit, ever so quiet and totally dark and then close your eyes and stare into this nothingness.  Let there be no distractions from noise, changing light, thoughts, or from the posture.  If there are any distractions from these, then it is not time to enjoy this exercise.  Focus on the forehead between the eyes, right above the bridge of the nose, and concentrate on the blackness and the absolute quiet. Depending on the ability to concentrate to the exclusion of everything else, there will appear after a time something interesting.  There really is not nothing there, but it may take a while to sensitize one's self to experience what is really there.  It may take a day, weeks, months, years, a lifetime, depending on the ability to direct all the mental energy to that spot.   Once you travel deeply into the quiet, breathing relaxed, listening ever so intently, there comes a time when one realizes that there is a current of energy and information flowing through everything, including this nothingness, so the darkness is full of information, and if your mind is wired in such a way to decipher this information you will be able to create with it.  So the deepest experiences within this realm can take a short time or a life time, depending on the ability to seize this moment to the exclusion of everything else.  Realize that we are living within the mind of our Creator so all this which flows through us is anyone's for the taking, but the proper neural networks have to be in place to interpret and bring to Creation that information.  Likewise, what appeared to be so quiet and dark is really full of light and life-- this is when you will be able to perceive the bioelectrical core, the central Light, which runs the thing called Life within you.
