    Dear Eric,

    >> Working about essential meaning I would like to make sure of one or
    two things. Please correct me.
    Perception is "direct", on the present moment, there is no thought to
    translate it, it is just living or being the idea. <<

    One is filled with understanding of the essential meaning. It is an
    infinite amount of information, presented in an instant that is quicker
    than thought. It occurs *before* thinking and feeling kick into gear. A
    large part of learning direct perception is training yourself (through
    emptiness of mind, for example) to slow down and quiet that inclination
    to start thinking and feeling. You must control that urge and postpone
    its fulfillment for a moment or two, and *then* bring those tools of
    thought and feeling to bear upon that direct perception.

    >> It is what transpire behind what appears. <<

    It is what *causes* that which appears. Appearances are
    *expressions/manifestations of* essential meaning.

    >> Mind chatter is not connected with essential meaning but only it's
    translation ,thought, memory and emotionnal response to it. <<

    At best, it is a reaction to a reaction to essential meaning. By the
    time essential meaning reaches the level of mind chatter it's pretty
    distorted, even to being almost unrecognizable.

    >> The only difference with emptiness of mind (as I know it) is the
    "presence" of that particular idea. <<

    In the Self-Healing Archaeous, I describe a technique of taking an idea
    *into* the emptiness of mind and then returning from the emptiness state
    into a thinking state. The emptiness of mind, in which those layers of
    feeling and thinking are turned off, is where *direct* perception of
    essential meaning occurs. Even when I'm looking at an object with my
    physical eyes, the *direct* perception of its essential meaning requires
    a subtle internal shift of my mental state into the type of receptivity
    of perception that's found with the emptiness of mind. The idea I'm
    focused upon or the object I'm looking at, just prior to making that
    mental shift, sets the stage, so to speak, of what I will be directly
    perceiving. In other words, it "aims" my awareness at the essential
    meaning of the object or idea, etc.

    >> What is the nature of essential meaning, is it "living"? is it in
    time? <<

    It is infinite and eternal, manifest through an infinite number and
    variety of finite, temporal forms, each of which expresses a finite
    amount of its spectrum.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
