Gui4De5 Peng2You3 Ni3 Hao3 !!! Everyone has his own demons. I can understand yet why you do have so many problems with the emptiness exercise ! This exercise is, more and less, giving up his own consciousness (perception of the phsychical and physical environment) and to feel what's left in this emptiness : calm, peace, joy, ammobility. Sincere Regards, Woce --- "chenxsi <chenxsi@...>" <chenxsi@...> a écrit : --------------------------------- I've read a couple of messages saying that if u enter into emptiness of mind from your one-pointed focus, u will get deeper and deeper into the true meaning of the point of focus. But why is it tat i can't feel as if i have gone deeper into the meaning of my focus?? I have just started my emptiness of mind exercise...is tat the reason why? Anyway i have this question tat have been confusing me for months. I like acting, and often act a lot of charactors, but the problem always goes like this---I would first decide upon a charactor to act as. I would use the technique actors often use, to Feel, Think & Do, meaning to feel what it feels like to be tat charactor (emotions etc..), to think of the intent of that charactor, and to simply do what u have to do on stage. Initially, i would be so successful tat i sometimes forgot who i am for a while, and simply believe tat i AM tat charactor. However this succes is ALWAYS short-lived. After a few days, i would always wake up one day, and simply cannot feel or act as tat charactor anymore. This is rather frustrating, as people would often wonder why i seem to have lost the ability tat i once have. Observing my mind, there seem to be a "feeling" tat i have lost the ability to act, and many thoughts tat suggest tat i have lost the ability. I would exclude all these negative thoughts, but in the end my mind would be so blank tat i cannot act. Acting requires a natural flow of thoughts to my mind, but there seem to be a demon in my mind blocking this flow of thoughts to assist in my acting. Can someone enlighten me about this??
