Merle,
Merle asked:
"thinking does not come into insight... insight just is..
is that not what you have been "preaching" in this forum joe?... "
No. Negative. Negatory. Reason and reasoning, or other movements of mind,
are a hindrance and preventative to awakening while one is practicing
intensively, as on sesshin. I've said this a number of times in this forum so
far, and have agreed with Bill! and I think others in this/on this.
At and after awakening, wisdom and compassion arise spontaneously, and
simultaneously. I've said this a number of times, too.
I never said *anything* about "Insight". I am not an "Insight" meditator,
either.
But I will say now that "insight" goes only so far, ...and so does one who has
insight. The key in our way is to AWAKEN.
