[10:01 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: I think this guy realised anatta and maha
[10:01 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: From 11 minute onward he describe maha
[10:05 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: He said he is experiencing nonlocality beyond nonduality

[10:15 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: In 17 minutes onwards he describes emptiness of awareness and no container
[11:23 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: Yes.  But he still need to go through the 90 days cycle. Now clarity vibrancy just released.
[11:25 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: Ppl that do not go through the phases of insights between I M will not know the difference but it is important to go through I M to realize the intensity.
[11:27 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Ic.. yeah he went through I AM
[11:27 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: He also went through mahasi sayadaw stages like daniel ingram
[11:27 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: Ic
[11:27 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: Daniel 4th path
[11:28 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Yup.. the 16 nanas and then fruition cessation then the four paths
[11:28 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: I think his recent breakthrough is similar to daniel 4th
[11:28 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: Yes
[11:28 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: However can still fall into AF or further into emptiness
[11:29 AM, 6/6/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Ic..
[11:30 AM, 6/6/2020] John Tan: A breakthrough of seeing through self is not graduation, same intellectual obscurations can manifest as many blind spots.

[12:15 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: If one does not penetrate deeply into DO and Emptiness, then he must resort back into seeing the deep dark abyss of silence.
[12:17 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: The opposite side of vivid presence must b integrated.
[12:21 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: ic..
[12:21 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: is it like the cessation he mentioned?
[12:22 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: he said consciousness blinks out for him everyday
[12:22 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: in a meditative state
[12:22 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: He overlook cessation, many do when presence vivid aliveness is revealed.
[12:22 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: i think he still access cessation everyday due to mahasi practice
[12:23 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: also 8 jhanas
[12:23 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: That is not important...everyone knows sensations blink in and out of existence...it is how one penetrates and integrate with mature insights.
[12:23 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: oic..
[12:25 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: Look at his eyes and expressions like u wanted to look at the surrounding as if there is more to see...more to feel...lol
[12:27 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: thats how i looked like last year lol (comments: after breakthrough i described in The Magical Fairytale-like Wonderland and Paradise of this Verdant Earth Free from Affective Emotions, Reactions and Sufferings)
[12:27 PM, 6/7/2020] Soh Wei Yu: now more normal
[12:28 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: When one has same insight of presence from anatta directed into silence, then the "wanting" to be more alive, more vivid, more radiance will be balanced...
[12:28 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: Buddhism imo has its unique way of dealing with this balance...
[12:29 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: Taoism focuses deep into this abyss of darkness ... But a balance is needed...
[12:30 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: Like when u hear sound, it is always silence/sound...the flow of music is also the continuous flow of silence...
[12:30 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: Can u hear that?
[12:39 PM, 6/7/2020] John Tan: In total exertion, an instantaneous arising of sound exhaust everything.  Just that "tingsss"....

For a Taoist master, the deep dark abyss gives rise to that sound...same immensity and power...

Can u feel both?
