[SFS] Re: Sant Mat and the Void - a catch 22
Sounds practical enough :) I have one other question. Does one actually become able to see other groups meditating and where they end up? In other words, when I spoke of Dzogchen and The Void, that is based on books I have read. When I speak about Nirvikalpa Samadhi and Zen Buddhism, that is also book learning. When I speak about Advaita Vedanta, more textbook learning. And I have some text book understanding of Sant Mat. But is there someway to actually directly know that a Zen Buddhist is only getting so far? Because right now, all I'm doing is playing "label war", which is a mind game.

You keep your attention harmonized with Naam and esperience It taking you beyond the Void (aka Maha Sunna) and into Sach Khand. Peace, Michael --- In SFS@yahoogroups.com, Terrence Brannon <TheQuietCenter@...> wrote:
