For me, formlessness is an experience that can not be described in conventional terms. I wish I could explain it better. It is when you mind shuts up and only a mirror is there - a reflection. When it happens to me I almost come out of it like when you wake up from a dream.


Why call an experience "formless"? I just don't get it...




Interesting... you may be right that experience isn't a good word to use. IME the formless is not dependent upon the senses to see.

Then what is it dependent on?

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

Nothing so far as I can tell. It just is.

What do you call something that cannot be described with language? :laugh:
