Meditating on emptiness can be an entertaining intellectual exercise. What is this emptiness? How can one meditate on it?
We can try to grasp a concept, conjure an image. But then we are only playing mind games … immersed in the mind of conceptual ideas...images...opinions...beliefs. The conceptual reality matrix.

"meditating *in* emptiness" - I love that you point out this distinction. Really hadn't had the awareness of this distinction before, but now that you mention it - I have *felt* the difference - experientially.
ReplyDelete"simply resting (waiting) in awareness" - yes, like the pause between breaths... suspended in Emptiness... Simply aware... Simply being...
