    Dear Stu,

    >> I think is is a different thing, though. EOM, as I understand it,
    requires a willing and a doing. (Maybe "holding" might be a better word,
    and holding off.) It does not just come to you, doesn't "happen".
    The state I refer to is devoid of holding and also doing. Some initial
    willing is required, though. Thoughts are not held, not stopped, not
    observed (a doing). Life is just... happening. I would describe is as a
    strong opposite to busybody-ism.
    Or maybe I misunderstood EOM? I see it requiring a lot of will and
    effort. <<

    This is a common mis-conception of EOM and the one which makes achieving
    EOM difficult for many folks. True EOM is a completely passive state
    although it does require "some initial willing" to *attain*. Within the
    EOM, there is BEing and perceiving, but there is no 'doing' or 'willing'
    in the mundane sense. It can become an *active* state but this activity
    is not the same as mundane 'willing' and 'doing'.

    If you are willing and doing then your mind is not empty of thought. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
