Comment to 'Intellectual Understanding vs. Direct Insight'

    I also do not have an inclination to dwelling in bliss states. I don’t trust bliss. Maybe if I ever experience “supreme” bliss I would never abandon it!  For now, for me, bliss is shifty. It is inconstant. Stillness is more what I long for. In stillness I have tasted security, contentment, fullness. 

    What I share on this Forum is my experience. I’m not trying to fit it into a neat belief box any more. Teachings have changed throughout the centuries. Interpolations have been added. Omissions took place. Oral repetition is not perfect.

    I’m looking for the essence, not the convention. I find it helpful to share experiences and hear of others’ experience. Direct insight is what I strive for and what I wish for others.“

     

    I find the above noble and personally relatable.
