    As a martial artist. You must be an empty cup in combat. No thinking,no thought,no anger,no fear. Just being and let the Void do it’s own thing. No time for thinking in combat. Just doing.

      Yes you can not stop the brain from working. So you must let it work to your advantage. A very tricky prospect. The mind will only focus on one thing at a time. Out thought process creates the results that we tell It to do. What I call. Purposeful Thinking. Or Creative Thinking. Focus Thinking. As We never get what we want. We only get what we picture in our minds eye. Our vision.our inner vision. And it’s based on the external and internal stimuli. What call “ THE CHATTER”. As a Man Thinks HeIs. So the real question is. What are you thinking. If it’s negative fear based thinking. That’s what you get. Or is it Creative,innovative and positive thinking for creating the correct results of our consciousness. We create our reality with our thinking. Focus on the results you want. Not the results you do not want. Why waste energy and time. On what you don’t want. It’s living life by purpose. Or Default. Whatever happens. Happens. That’s not being control of your life. In Aikido there is a phrase called SHENOGI/ SABAKI. CONTROL AND EXECUTE. START/ FINISH. CHECK AND FOLLOW THROUGH. Control your thinking. Control your life.

    After 40 years of meditative practice, I have found a way to empty my cup …
    Mindful breathing and eyes closed, I let my wander through sounds and touch and slowly let them go, allowing my awareness to retreat away from everything, even the random pictures in my head and the feel of air entering my body. I then let go of words, retraining from observing my thoughts and memories. Being very still, I finally let go of that all-important word “I”, freeing myself from being a passive onlooker of the noise in my brain. At last, I am at a place where time slows, I am an infinitesimal point surrounded by an unimaginable vastness. Self has faded away, language forgotten. It is there I perceive Unity. It is there I join with Peace.

      ‘I’ the biggest ego people have without even realising it. For most people everything revolves around this one letter word.
      What to do is drop names.
      Try to see everyone as a soul, which is pure, regardless of their actions, deeds and desires.
      This is hard, looking at bad people as a pure soul, but in the end that is their true nature.
      When you start looking yourself as a pure soul and view others through the same lens,
      You forget fear, failure of embarrassment and so many thing.
      Peace, tranquility and unimaginable courage will follow.
      Hope this makes sense!

      I believe after enlightenment person also knows that knowing is a bondage and not being anything is the true freedom.
      And when person is nothing he is one with everything. And everything is nothing, appearing as everything.
      Do you believe nothingness to be related with enlightenment?
      I see nothingness to be eternal and infinite. But that nothingness is awareness. As awareness has no feature so to see one source awareness wouldn't it be nothingness directly?
      When we are focused on nothingness we are at level with it. Try focusing on nothingness. When I'm focused on nothingness it seems as if i am nothingness too. That's how i know my real nature is eternal and infinite.
      And nothingness itself is awareness, we can tell that because when we're focused on nothingness we become nothingness yet we are aware. It means it is awareness.

      the moment you "realize" enlightenment, it ceases to be part of you if it was ever there..the whole world just need to stop using buzzwords they don't understand. Go out, make mistakes and learn from them - how much lessons u learnt from the mistakes you don't repeat doesn't make you "enlightened", maybe wise in ur ways but dats it.. he who is enlightened is he who is full of light, no man is - except little children who havent developed the capacity to know good and evil. or as some would say, havent bitten off the apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. buzz word culture nowadays is annoying asf

    The master was teaching The Wisdom Of God through Jesus The Christ, as (for Biblical example) from the "Empty Vessels that were filled to The Brim" in The Wedding at Caana.
    From The Beginning of Time, our Father God commands us to empty ourselves in order to be filled with The Holy Spirit.
    And Humility, which is God's #1 Gift Of All Virtues, is the initial mandate for All Emptiness.
    There are many in Heaven who have sinned, but none who lack the Virtue Of Humility.
    And there are many in Hell who have done good deeds, but NONE possess the Virtue Of HUMILITY.

    Enlightenment is not filling knowledge in brain, its the awakening of heart. Staying in consciousness, feeling and identifying true nature of all thoughts, emotions. It should be done in natural way, with the flow. Naturally, without force 🙏🌊

      @shinehy403 Год назад

      Enlightenment is the ability to perceive all in existence, in its' true form, as opposed to, perceiving all based on one's own perceptions. Enlightenment comes, not from focusing inward, but from shedding one's own identity and realizing the unity of all, separate from self.

      ✉️ Brothers and sisters, I want to inform you that now is the beginning of the last age of (which He called the Age of the Kingdom or age of word) God's salvation in this old world and His work now is to purify the person who will receive His work that in His lowered Kingdom engraved with His holy name and totality of His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 the work He accomplished today is what He prophesied in the great book of Revelation so now is the beginning to be sorted out by Him every type of humanity (the ones He can purify until his last breath is the one who succeeds so that he can enter the approaching New Heaven and New Earth after this 1,000 years extension of God's salvation from now on this old and dirty world, or those who cannot be purified will be destroyed together with this old world, or the one who will be with Satan in eternal punishment in the bottom of Hades of fire brimstone forever).
      📩 So, come and enter the last age in His lowered Kingdom.
      THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      Almighty God said
      In the LAST DAYS, GOD became MAN to DO the WORK He HAD to DO and to PERFORM His MINISTRY of the WORD. He PERSONALLY CAME to WORK in the MIDST of PEOPLE with the goal of making PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAD the SAME ATTITUDE. 🙏
      From the time of creation until now, He has only performed this kind of work in the LAST DAYS. It was only in the LAST DAYS that GOD BECAME MAN to DO such a great WORK. Although He endured hardships that men would find it hard to bear, and although He was a GREAT GOD who HUMBLED HIMSELF to become a common man, no aspect of His WORK was delayed, and His PLAN was not disrupted. even a little. He does the WORK according to His ORIGINAL PLAN. ☀️
      ONE of the PURPOSES of this INCARNATION is to CONQUER PEOPLE, the OTHER is to MAKE PERFECT the PEOPLE He LOVES. He WANTS to SEE with His OWN EYES the PEOPLE He PERFECTS, and He wants to SEE for HIMSELF HOW the PEOPLE He PERFECTS TESTIFY for Him. NOT ONE or TWO PEOPLE are PERFECT. Rather, it is ONE GROUP, COMPRISED of just a FEW PEOPLE. ☀️🙏
      PEOPLE in this GROUP COME from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES in the WORLD, and COME from DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES in the WORLD. The PURPOSE of DOING so much WORK is to GET this GROUP of PEOPLE, to GET the TESTIMONY of this GROUP OF PEOPLE to Him, and to ACHIEVE the GLORY He can GET from them. He does no work in vain, nor does He do any work worthless. It can be said that, in doing so many works, GOD'S PURPOSE is to make PERFECT EVERYTHING He WANTS to make PERFECT. In any free time He has outside of it, He will remove those who are evil. ☀️
      You must know that He does not do this great work because of the wicked; rather, He gives His all because of the few people He will make perfect. The WORK He DOES, the WORDS He SPEAKS, the MYSTERIES He REVEALS, and His JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT are ALL for the sane of those FEW PEOPLE. 🙏
      He did NOT become a MAN because of those who were BAD, and especially they did NOT provoke Him to anger so much. He tells the TRUTH, and SPEAKS of ENTERING, because of PERFECT WORKS; He became MAN because of them, and because of them He could grant His PROMISES and BLESSINGS. ☀️
      The truth, entrance, and life in humanity that He speaks of is not labored for the sake of the wicked. He WANTS to AVOID TALKING to those who are BAD, INSTEAD He WANTS to GRANT all the TRUTH to those who will be made PERFECT.
      But His work requires that, for the time being, He allows the WICKED to ENJOY some of His RICHES. Those who do not practice the truth, do not please God, and interfere with His work are all evil. They CANNOT BE MADE PERFECT, and GOD HATES and REJECTS them. 😪
      On the other hand, PEOPLE WHO DO the TRUTH and PLEASE GOD and SPEND their WHOLE SELF in GOD'S WORK are the PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE PERFECT. 🙏
      Those whom GOD wants to make PERFECT are none other than this GROUP of PEOPLE, and the WORK GOD DOES is for the BENEFIT of these PEOPLE. The truth He speaks is for those who are WILLING to DO it. He does not speak to people who do not practice the truth. ☀️
      The growth of knowledge and the growth of understanding that He says is aimed at those who can practice the truth. When He speaks of those who will be made perfect, He is speaking of these people.
      The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is FOCUSED on PEOPLE who CAN do the TRUTH. 🙏
      Things like having wisdom and being human are dedicated to people who are WILLING to DO the TRUTH. Those who DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH may HEAR MANY WORDS of TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE they are by NATURE VERY EVIL and are NOT INTERESTED in the TRUTH, all they understand are doctrines and words and empty theories, which have not the slightest value for upon their entry into life. Not ONE of THEM is FAITHFUL to GOD; they are ALL PEOPLE WHO SEE GOD BUT CANNOT REACH Him, ALL of THEM are CURSED by GOD. 😪🙏
      From "Only Those Who Commit to Practice Make Perfection"
      Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His clothes were stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God." (Rev. 19:13)
      The kingdom He brought down and built in the worthy holy place in the highest in the sky and when all the humanity He created in the universe was occupied by it and it was engraved in His holy name and owned by His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 this is the fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) The Lord Jesus said, "And I say to you, Peter, on top of this eunuch I will build my Church, which will not prevail against him even the fear of death.". ... and fulfillment of "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... and fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem"💫 "The Spirit covered me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain.

(1 Peter 4:17)
      📩 God's sheep are called and led to His glorious Throne in "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 to submit again to His authority so that He can continue to teach us, guide us and protect us even in plagues, disasters, famines and wild animals It will not move us, and to completely win the war with the big red dragon in this final battle!. ...

This strategy is particularly useful for people who have been burned out like me, to keep our minds empty (as much as possible) and use it when needed to perform useful activities. We will feel lot more content and grounded doing that - I think the point of meditation is also the same.

    There’s an excellent book called “Zen Flesh, Zen Bones”, which is a collection of koans, including this one (which takes a minute to read). It’s one of the few books I have bought for myself, and given as gifts.

    Wow, this Zen story about the empty cup really blew my mind! It's incredible how a simple concept can hold so much wisdom. This video truly reminded me to approach life with an open mind and let go of preconceived notions. Let's all strive to empty our cups and embrace new possibilities! 🌟 #ZenWisdom #EmptyYourCup #OpenMind

      ✉️ Brothers and sisters, I want to inform you that now is the beginning of the last age of (which He called the Age of the Kingdom or age of word) God's salvation in this old world and His work now is to purify the person who will receive His work that in His lowered Kingdom engraved with His holy name and totality of His disposition "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐 the work He accomplished today is what He prophesied in the great book of Revelation so now is the beginning to be sorted out by Him every type of humanity (the ones He can purify until his last breath is the one who succeeds so that he can enter the approaching New Heaven and New Earth after this 1,000 years extension of God's salvation from now on this old and dirty world, or those who cannot be purified will be destroyed together with this old world, or the one who will be with Satan in eternal punishment in the bottom of Hades of fire brimstone forever).
      📩 So, come and enter the last age in His lowered Kingdom.
      THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      Almighty God said
      In the LAST DAYS, GOD became MAN to DO the WORK He HAD to DO and to PERFORM His MINISTRY of the WORD. He PERSONALLY CAME to WORK in the MIDST of PEOPLE with the goal of making PERFECT PEOPLE WHO HAD the SAME ATTITUDE. 🙏
      From the time of creation until now, He has only performed this kind of work in the LAST DAYS. It was only in the LAST DAYS that GOD BECAME MAN to DO such a great WORK. Although He endured hardships that men would find it hard to bear, and although He was a GREAT GOD who HUMBLED HIMSELF to become a common man, no aspect of His WORK was delayed, and His PLAN was not disrupted. even a little. He does the WORK according to His ORIGINAL PLAN. ☀️
      ONE of the PURPOSES of this INCARNATION is to CONQUER PEOPLE, the OTHER is to MAKE PERFECT the PEOPLE He LOVES. He WANTS to SEE with His OWN EYES the PEOPLE He PERFECTS, and He wants to SEE for HIMSELF HOW the PEOPLE He PERFECTS TESTIFY for Him. NOT ONE or TWO PEOPLE are PERFECT. Rather, it is ONE GROUP, COMPRISED of just a FEW PEOPLE. ☀️🙏
      PEOPLE in this GROUP COME from DIFFERENT COUNTRIES in the WORLD, and COME from DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES in the WORLD. The PURPOSE of DOING so much WORK is to GET this GROUP of PEOPLE, to GET the TESTIMONY of this GROUP OF PEOPLE to Him, and to ACHIEVE the GLORY He can GET from them. He does no work in vain, nor does He do any work worthless. It can be said that, in doing so many works, GOD'S PURPOSE is to make PERFECT EVERYTHING He WANTS to make PERFECT. In any free time He has outside of it, He will remove those who are evil. ☀️
      You must know that He does not do this great work because of the wicked; rather, He gives His all because of the few people He will make perfect. The WORK He DOES, the WORDS He SPEAKS, the MYSTERIES He REVEALS, and His JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT are ALL for the sane of those FEW PEOPLE. 🙏
      He did NOT become a MAN because of those who were BAD, and especially they did NOT provoke Him to anger so much. He tells the TRUTH, and SPEAKS of ENTERING, because of PERFECT WORKS; He became MAN because of them, and because of them He could grant His PROMISES and BLESSINGS. ☀️
      The truth, entrance, and life in humanity that He speaks of is not labored for the sake of the wicked. He WANTS to AVOID TALKING to those who are BAD, INSTEAD He WANTS to GRANT all the TRUTH to those who will be made PERFECT.
      But His work requires that, for the time being, He allows the WICKED to ENJOY some of His RICHES. Those who do not practice the truth, do not please God, and interfere with His work are all evil. They CANNOT BE MADE PERFECT, and GOD HATES and REJECTS them. 😪
      On the other hand, PEOPLE WHO DO the TRUTH and PLEASE GOD and SPEND their WHOLE SELF in GOD'S WORK are the PEOPLE GOD WILL MAKE PERFECT. 🙏
      Those whom GOD wants to make PERFECT are none other than this GROUP of PEOPLE, and the WORK GOD DOES is for the BENEFIT of these PEOPLE. The truth He speaks is for those who are WILLING to DO it. He does not speak to people who do not practice the truth. ☀️
      The growth of knowledge and the growth of understanding that He says is aimed at those who can practice the truth. When He speaks of those who will be made perfect, He is speaking of these people.
      The WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT is FOCUSED on PEOPLE who CAN do the TRUTH. 🙏
      Things like having wisdom and being human are dedicated to people who are WILLING to DO the TRUTH. Those who DO NOT PRACTICE the TRUTH may HEAR MANY WORDS of TRUTH, BUT BECAUSE they are by NATURE VERY EVIL and are NOT INTERESTED in the TRUTH, all they understand are doctrines and words and empty theories, which have not the slightest value for upon their entry into life. Not ONE of THEM is FAITHFUL to GOD; they are ALL PEOPLE WHO SEE GOD BUT CANNOT REACH Him, ALL of THEM are CURSED by GOD. 😪🙏
      From "Only Those Who Commit to Practice Make Perfection"

    another may judge the cup half empty
    Some may see a empty cup most useful
    because then it can be filled anew with
    that of our choosing.
    Allow your mind to be such an empty cup.
    Choose your thoughts wisely, they create your reality.

    So Koji says he knows a few things about Zen enlightenment (mostly theory) and needs guidance (humble), yet Takashi admonishes him for thinking he knows everything and needs to be humble. Just to come with the Empty Cup analogy and look smarter. The Master seems to have a skewed understanding of what the disciple says.

    The Mind is a awesome tool. And like any tool. Can be misused not for its true purpose. I did understand as a young man. Just how powerful our thoughts are. In the late 70s living in Anaheim. I got a job working graveyard. It’s was very hard to get use to sleeping in the day and be ready for a long night. I could not get to sleep. Landscapers,neighbors hav8ng morning sex,and garbage trucks. It’s was bruttle. I FINALY found out about Trans Meditation. Where I had to learn to stop the mental chatter. I used two different process. And they worked perfectly. Was not easy at all. I still used them today. To calm the Spirit. To calm the thought process. Give the brain. A break. Why I love martial arts. Let the Body and Spirit work. While the Brain and I’d. Take a break.

      @@DettaOdyssey One trick, use cold water to shower, if the water is cold enough, your instinct will take over, clearing your thoughts and become focused on the sense of touch due to the cold water. Remember that experience and practice getting to that state of mind, as during that time is when your mind is focused on the present without unnecessary thoughts.

    The ultimate in humility and enlightenment is developing a severe, life threatening, incurable disease in your early 20s. A disease with poor medical treatment and marked by extreme pain and often deformity eventually. Then you rwlaize dirty dishes mean nothing. Taking your child to the park is the right choice. Living each day as thouygh it is your last is the right choice. Loving everything and being extremely grateful for days without as much pain becomes your mindset. No one without this experience can truly be humble or enlightened. health is everything. material goods matter little, but whatever you have, be grateful for it. help others whenever you can. be a good person who contributes to the world in beautiful or positive ways whenever possible. Above all, compassion for others becomes second nature. Your own pain changes you and nothing really matters but the things money can't buy. peace, painless existence, love, loyalty, compassion, honesty. Everything else is just ego.

    An empty mind is ready to receive. There are no “masters” on the seekers path, only travelers. Sometimes, to move forward, you must bring someone forward and then the student becomes the teacher. There is only truth and humbleness. True humbleness means that you will not bow down to a master but neither will you allow the lowliest beggar to bow down before you.
