Summary
There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization.
There is no experiencer and the experience; there is only a state of experiencing.
One cannot think about immortality. If one can live in the state of only experiencing then there is a state in which ideation has stopped altogether.
Is it possible to have direct experience of that which is not thinkable and which cannot be put into words?
Q: Is there a way of knowing what is the truth about myself, without illusion or self-deception?
Q: Is effort a necessary preliminary to tranquillity?
Q: I no longer suppress my thoughts and am I shocked by what sometimes arises. Can I be as bad as that?
Q: Why is it that certain undesirable conditions in oneself do not vanish as soon as they are observed?
Q: Is the artist or musician engaged in a futile thing?
