Genpo Roshi's Big Mind technique

[demk]

Hi all,

Check out this link to youtube videos of Genpo Roshi's Big Mind technique. If you follow it through it can take you to a new level of consciousness and give you a great insight into the workings of the ego mind. It is really amazing. I was lead to this state of vast, infinite emptiness and I felt an immense sense of peace. It was beautiful.

They take about 1.5 hours to go through them all and its best to do them all at once (imho) but they are really worth it.

I’ve written about what I got from Genpo Roshi’s Big Mind technique when I went on the 28th of Oct 06 at the Shambhala Center in Boulder, CO. But I didn’t write about some internal experiences I had.

After sitting at the feet of Zen Master Genpo Roshi at Dharmapalooza, I did have a couple transpersonal experience.

I was actually feeling very bad that day. I had a migraine headache (dehydration from the previous day) that made body weak. It was as if my body was using all of its energy to repair what felt like brain dehydration.
As Genpo took us through the process of allowing the different facets of the ego to talk in the first person (i.e. anger, the victim, the damaged self, doubt - see my description of Big Mind technique if you are not familiar with it) I noticed that my dis-ease felt almost unbearable when we spoke as a negative aspect of the ego. Anger was the worse. But when we were positive or nondual the pain would subside or even completely vanish until I opened my eyes. But that wasn’t the mystical part.

I just went through this, and I found it to be an amazing process that guided me to a higher level of consciousness. Very easy, just follow along, and he gives the skeptic in you a chance too

By going through this, I saw how darkworking and lightworking (for those who are concerned) DO lead to the same source, although Genpo Roshi never mentions it. I also saw how subjective reality is ABSOLUTE. It's actually a very intuitive answer that should be experienced first hand.

Probably not permanent, but a step in the right direction until I can stabilize this level of consciousness.

I encourage people to give it a shot, at the very least you lose and hour and a half out of your day. (pick a quiet time where you wont be bothered)

peace and hard love,

A very valuable experience.

I am whole, one, complete.

That's interesting--I was just reading Come to your Senses by Stanley Block, which explores the same territory. (Even uses the "damaged self/fixer" terminology.)

Good stuff.
