Intense looking
ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE
Just looking with the intensity of fire, can simply throw you back into yourself.
Such is the power of looking.
You seldom look this way. You look, but with constant distraction, superficially. This kind of looking is just ordinary looking.
You always look through your mind! The moment your awareness rests on something, you try to verbalize the experience. When you verbalize, you create a gap. You start relating with your idea of the object, not with the object itself.
When you look at something wordlessly, with pure awareness, you close the gap between the object and the subject. Without words, both the seen and seer become part of the continuum of seeing. Only the experience remains.
When this happens, your energy is no longer flowing outward to the object. You are in a closed circuit where the energy is continuously circulating within.
Your awareness takes a U-turn. You are looking out, but your awareness returns continuously to the one who is looking.
Then looking is no longer an ordinary sense experience, but a deep meditation that again and again throws you into your source.
