Awakening in Daily Life, Letter from a Student.............................
Dear Ed, thank you so much for responding. I
am glad to hear you say that meditation is not
essential. In your book “Autobiography of a Jnani”
there seemed to be only talk about what was
experienced in meditation and not how this
nothingness is lived in daily life. None of the levels
that you talk about which one can identify in
meditation applied with what happened to me. All
was just being dissolved, happening in daily life - until
nothing remained.
It seems here that awakening is of no real use
when it is just a state that is arrived at via meditation.
The human programming will still need to be
addressed in daily life as there will be many parts of
the programming that continue to run even after truth
has been seen. Seeing truth is not the end all - that is
what I am experiencing anyway. Would you say that is
correct?
The main question, which seemed to not have
come across in my first email is this: It is a whole
other story to live this nothingness in daily life. I am
living this nothingness not only as an inner awareness
but also am living this in practical, every-day life as I
lost all financial and material safety and security;
