Effortless ‘Insight’ Meditation

Zenfully Quool Quotes Quommentary  – by rog

In the deep end of one’s ‘sadhana’… Spiritual Path…

When an earnest meditation practice transcends from one of much effort…

To an ‘effortless’ meditation…

The act of surrendering… becomes the last action…

The action of ‘non-action’.

No thoughts arise, no movement…

In fact you can’t move, you are so blissfully peaceful you don’t want to move.

But,

Unlike when this occurs when heavy sleep takes over…

This Jhana ‘Insight’ meditation, your awareness becomes very clear.

To explain how this feels…

It’s like how you feel when you are in love.

The love for a lover… has it’s flavor…

The love for your parents is another flavor…

The love for a pet you adore is another flavor…

But,

They all have a common feeling.

It’s wordless, yet

Blissful, peaceful and joyful.

During this bliss…

The roots of ‘Insights’ grow.

You experiencially ‘know’ things…

Without thinking or mental contemplation.

It’s only after the afterglow of Parvastha fades…

And this may take several hours or even days…

Can the analytical mind even begin to contemplate

the wordless Wisdoms gained during these deep meditations.

When this type of Jhana ‘Insight’ meditation is allowed to

deepen towards its full fruition…

They ‘after glow’ never stops.

It becomes your Natural State.

You become fully ‘Absorbed’ into the ‘Absolute’.

Full Enlightenment is not far from this perspective.

Craving and desire will have no place in your perspectives…

Wether you live or die, or your body suffers …

There is no difference in your Bliss.

Equanimity, Love, Joy, Bliss and boundless Peacefulness becomes

unperturbable.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
