The Act of Not Doing – 08.04.11

Student Question:  I have been thinking a lot about not doing, not trying to silence the mind or trying to do this or that.  I can see that, or from what I think I have learned is that it will maybe seemingly get us closer to what we are trying to do but won’t get us there because it is an act of doing.  Tonight you mentioned dissolving any thoughts or any sense of understandings of the ego or language or anything.  So I was trying to figure out, I was trying to use language and figure out, if you’re not doing something, what would be the opposite of that?  Not doing implies doing in some way and then maybe being is maybe a better word but it’s just a word that I’m trying to ask for that maybe it will help me understand the concept of dissolving because even dissolving implies something?
