8. Experiencing the state of immortality without ideation - 7 August 1949.

  • There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization.
  • There is no experiencer and the experience; there is only a state ofexperiencing.
  • One cannot think about immortality. If one can live in the state of onlyexperiencing then there is a state in which ideation has stopped altogether.
  • Is it possible to have direct experience of that which is not thinkable and whichcannot be put into words?
  • Q: Is there a way of knowing what is the truth about myself, without illusion orself-deception?
  • Q: Is effort a necessary preliminary to tranquillity?
  • Q: I no longer suppress my thoughts and am I shocked by what sometimesarises. Can I be as bad as that?
  • Q: Why is it that certain undesirable conditions in oneself do not vanish as soon as they are observed?
  • Q: Is the artist or musician engaged in a futile thing?
