It's simply a matter of attending innocently to the sensations, allowing them to "breathe" -- a way to unravel our learned-response- story that they are "bad" or "ignorance" :-) > Seriously, Rory, that kind of stuff just doesn't > resonate with me.

Well, I admit it's harder to describe than it is to practice -- MMY's "feeling the body" is perhaps a simpler way to describe it; "rebirthing" is another. > Transcending, I get.

It steeps us in the wholeness, safely away from all the troubles. This "rebirthing" or "feeling the body" is what I would call the other half of the equation -- learning to incarnate the body *as* transcendence, using our well-trained attention to transform all the apparent troubles or densities into their true nature -- being, or radiant bliss, or love. > I'm not complaining about my situation, as some > would like you to believe (because it provides > greater opportunities for them to make putdowns). > > My "complaint," such as it is, has always been > about people telling me I can't trust my own > experience and should believe what I'm told > my experience "really" is by those whose > experience is different. Understandable. I was only trying to point out that just *underneath* the interpretation of the experience as "suffering" or "ignorance" is an easier way to appreciate it as bliss -- a bit like an old TV set, where we had a choice (for example) of looking at and getting involved in the sturm-und-drang of a soap opera, or looking a little closer and seeing that the whole drama was actually just little light-beams zipping across the screen :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
