Formless Meditating
This is for the advanced meditator who is ready to abandon all worldly ideas and techniques for liberation. Any meditating tools to help pacify the mind such as mantras, visualizations, God concepts, and so forth are of the world and ideas from our worldly existence. This will not liberate you from the world and mind for they are concepts that are embedded in the mind, and attached to the world, and you have to go beyond both for enlightenment. The sincere seeker has no interest in the world or the mind and all of their conditions and concepts are worthless to him, even spiritual contemplation at some point gets boring, and is seen as an unproductive lost of time. He is then ready to move on, and only a formless meditation is the remedy, and this is his sole interest because all else has roots in the mind and world. What is formless and colorless and avalible to meditators everywhere? It's the energy (consciousness) that flows through the body and mind. He observes that as the silent and thoughtless witness, and falling back to the observer thus distancing the Self from consciousness and the attributes that it brings. He constantly looks for that state where the observer and the observed eventually merge as one, which is the Samadhi State. In that harmonious state there is no longer the observed or the observer, just pure being. This state of being is the serious seekers only comfort, and every chance he gets he returns to that state of bliss in being without duality and manifestation. He sits as the formless meditator waiting patiently for the clouds to break and reveal the truth. Nothing else will satisfy him, for there is no satisfaction without realization and he knows this resolutely. There is nothing in life that grabs his attention he is dieing to the world, and sees no help in lifeless scriptures or from the great sages, because the weight rests solely on his shoulders. The final transition depends on his relentless pursuit and his ability to look away from the mind and consciousness all through his waking hours. To him there is only one thing that can change his outlook and he will settle for nothing else but Enlightenment.
