    There are no noumena, only phenomena.

    It would be good to start from precise "essence" definition. Do you have one?

    Do you believe in rebirth?

    I try to stay away from beliefs.

    Where do Thoughts come from?

    Thoughts are the echo of culture, and we have the power to change them as they arise. We are not creating them. This may sound unusual, but that how it is. There are simple practices (like labeling every thought as "illusory") which lead to detachment from thinking. In other words, one sees that...

    Noticing space

    Nonsense. "Try it for yourself", is not an answer. Nitpicking. Some theories just can't handle scrutiny.

    Noticing space

    I am not trying to dismiss the practice, just showing its illusory foundations. Instead of going personal, you should prove the authenticity of your practice. I forgot, you already tried with "try it and see". If you don't know how to explain it, keep it for yourself, instead of being touched by...

    Noticing space

    I have already asked you precise questions, you were struggling to answer. I'm not interested in magic stories. Space is just an idea which you can take as a practice target. But what good is it, if you don't know even that? Go notice this space: Or this one:

    Noticing space

    The point is? What did you get from noticing space? Don't bother making up the answer.

    Noticing space

    You feel many things. Your clothes, air, temperature change, your inner sensations, feelings, sounds... You say you feel space, how and with which sense?

    Noticing space

    And how will you experience emptiness? By not experiencing stool with your pinky?
  12. Banjankri

    Noticing space

    How real is the world?

    Depends on the definition of reality and the world.

    Is Strict Routine a Prerequisite to Meditative Progress?

    It wasn't suppose to be. Some people think that they need to inspire every meditation beginner, but will always fail to explain why. Not blindly.

    An Interesting Question About the Mind

    I agree with what allfoak said, but I will add something from what I found. First of all, we control things through stress, and that is basically what we are. Our mind is a pendulum of thoughts and emotions. When we look at our feelings during thinking, we will notice that they are shaped by...
