During regular enquiry there is a quiescent state, peaceful, deep, suffused with pleasant warmth and light like the Sun. No thought permeates, or at least the thoughts have zero energy, just passing clouds in a clear sky.
However it is still an experience of a type, still scenery although it has no obvious component. I'm reminded of the film 'poltergeist' where they say not to go into the light. I experience this light and the comfort and attraction it holds gets stronger and more intense with enquiry.
Some part knows this is a honey trap, it means forever sleeping, like a relaxing anaesthetic and isn't really truth (although, just like the thought of a deep refreshing sleep it is very seductive).
By asking the question "to who does this experience happen" some small chink appears, but it is tiny and weak compared to the huge pull of the blessed out peacefulness of this new illusion.
It is like leaving the muddy banks of the shore to be cast adrift on an endless shining sea with a gentle warm, fragrant breeze allowing the boat to drift. Bloody hard not to like that sensation as it's like the perfect feeling on a perfect holiday.
Self enquiry feels very weak as an antidote, is there a way of delving deeper, faster to avoid this ? Someway of supercharging the enquiry?
Floating on an ocean of serene eternity for the moment and shall enjoy it for a while[
