Hi Beverley,
Contemplating one's own mind-states with the six realms as a guide can furnish insight into which realms one's mind tends to want to inhabit. --ED --- In [email protected], Beverley Huish <beverley.huish@...> wrote: > Hi Mel, I found the 6 realms fascinating, and insightful, but not useful in a real sense - it doesn't apply to the inner / hidden world that Buddhism, it seems to me, is tapping into. It also seems to me that Zen is allowed to think and think and think about refined intellectual Zen (good luck to it!), but beginners and non-Zen thinking is somewhat frowned on. I will continue decluttering my room. :-) Beverley.
