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

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??

Sorry for writing so much!
