Nibbana and Other Experiences of the Absolute, "Isness"

 


I’m currently working on a short e-book/tract called Nibbana and Other Experiences of the Absolute. Yesterday, I came across this in my readings…

“In this state there is no longer any experience of ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’. There is not even the experience of ‘I am’. It is simply a state of is-ness or pure Being.”


– Peter Russell, The TM Technique


I’m not sure if I’ll include it in the book or not, but it would fit. “Suchness” is a related term sometimes used in Zen Buddhism, and Meister Eckhart also uses the term (Is-ness) in his writings.

There is no lack or want in the meditative experience of “Isness”. It is “sufficient and complete”.
