Whatever You Think It Is, Thats Not It (Neti, Neti)

Amir Mourad explains that whatever you think it is, that's not it. Being beyond all categories of thought, he introduces the attitude of neti, neti ("not this, not this") as moving beyond mind altogether.

____

Amir Mourad is an Egyptian yogi, contemporary mystic, and spiritual teacher. After coming to a series of inner transformations during a six-year period of hermitism, he founded the Shunya Yoga system. Combining the ancient technology of yoga with the spirit of Zen, Shunya Yoga is a method which moves beyond one-sided belief systems and philosophies, and into a direct seeing of the inexpressible truth of one's own being.

With a blend of sensitivity and intensity, Amir Mourad's work is an effort to assist social transformation through transformation of consciousness at the level of the individual. Adhering to no particular tradition and addressing both individual and social concerns, his teachings have focused on self-knowledge, meditation, zen, enlightenment, love, death, the recognition of one's ignorance, morality and doubt in the search for Truth. Amir presently teaches through programs and satsangs in Montreal, Canada.

Perfect video for my day today. I was thinking about this earlier, which is ironic, because my thoughts were that I think too much, at least linguistically. My mind is always labelling, defining, attempting to understand, etc. I have a very hard time letting go of words and symbols in my mind and just...experiencing life. This vid helped. Thanks.

Whats the different between the idea neti neti the indescribable and Apophatic theology?

[xlapj]

but we fight for your ego, cause some must stay the only good and reality broken, as for my ego i can do without it, im eternal

[chazzat]

Realised when I was doing deep meditation earlier after trying day after day after day to experience nothing that I couldent experience nothing, that it was literally impossible to experience nothing because everything you experience and think of is something, so I suddenly realised there was nothing for me to do and I was already nothing and for a second it felt like instead of seeing my self as something experiencing reality that I was reality

Dear grasshopper... the moment you say "you", you've already missed it. So "my" mind and "your" mind may be useless for understanding Tao. But Mind can. All you have to do is climb out of yourself and see. Lower mind divides everything, but higher mind sees unity. In a dream there are many characters. Which one is "you". NETI NETI "Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful..."

nihilism from the Latin nihil, nothing) is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.[1] Moral nihilists assert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism can also take epistemological....see wikipedia ok?:)
