Kind Regards

Thank you for the suggestion, Spacester.

 

I'll second that as I've just ordered a second hand copy from Amazon.

I enjoy 'taoist meditation' a lot, Spacester :-)

When you perfect "empty-minded meditation" I would say that you are where you should be regarding meditation.

the void is not oblivion, one should keep the awareness sharp and avoid oblivion rather pointedly.

 

if you want the body to disappear....well there's those cranial nerves to tackle, again...

 

as always, enhance signal to noise ratio, limit noise, focus on signal 

 

oblivion is merely uniform noise

 

the void is when the noise is gone

Seeing the void as not empty is right and seeing the void as empty is wrong.

Unless you are Buddhist then it's okay to see the void as empty of permanence.

the foundation of zuowang is superlatively conditioned body mechanics, the more efficient that is, the deeper the practices will be  (and the mind will be conditioned by its gongfu of conditioning the body) :)
