Читать книгу The Book of Rest - James Reeves - Страница 12

This restful quality we’re pointing to is hard to pin down. The challenge is that it isn’t a thing. It’s no-thing. Nothing.

It’s not something that you do; it’s something that’s always the case. You cannot get hold of it, you cannot grasp this restfulness because it’s here right now, behind and around all your thoughts.

It’s near impossible to imagine something that has no qualities. Something that by definition is necessarily indescribable. Therefore, our task now is to take you beyond your thoughts, beyond your imaginings, and into the experience of rest itself. Everything we present and any practices we have set out here are based on experience, very intentionally, to mirror this non-thing.

— No-thing is best met by nothing.
