John Tan: What do u find lacking in Alan Watt's "The silent mind" talk?
He spoke of anatta, seeing DO, emptiness of mental constructs, effortlessness and spontaneity, in the flow but what is missing? Or do u see anything missing?

[12:35 PM, 9/1/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Didnt describe intensity of luminosity?
[12:37 PM, 9/1/2020] John Tan: Yes. Directness always have this clean, pure, pristine and transparent taste because there no imputation blocking.

On someone else:
[6:13 PM, 9/1/2020] John Tan: Possible but experience should b natural and spontaneous, no strain and no effort.
What appears is fully transparent, vivid, pure, clean and pristine as the layer that blocks dissapears.
Until each moment of experience is free from observer and observed, just natural spontaneous pellucid appearance in obviousness.
When we de-construct more and more, we will also notice the relationship between radiance energy and mental deconstructions. The universe will reveal itself more and more as radiance of vibrational energies in dance rather than "concrete things".
[6:16 PM, 9/1/2020] Soh Wei Yu: Oic..
[6:23 PM, 9/1/2020] John Tan: As for non-conceptuality, it is not a mind trying to free itself from symbols and language. Rather it is the insight that sees through mental constructs (reifications) and conventionalities. It is an unbinding process of freeing the mind from being blinded by the semantics of conventions (existence, physicality, cause and effect, production) that is more crucial.
