Question

QUESTION (resumed) :
Une fois que l'on a retourné son regard vers soi-même et que l'on réalise que l'on "est" une sorte "d'espace" (en fait, l'unique espace), doit-on simplement approfondir cet état? ou au contraire cela doit-il aussi perdre toute importance? Devenir cette sorte de miroir 3-D ok, mais les phénomènes restent hors de contrôle. Ma conscience est certes absolument indéfinissable, un mystère en quelque sorte, mais je reste encore aussi médiocre et petit dans la vie de tous les jours? Demande éclaircissement.

Burned out

I started practicing Buddhism more than ten years ago, I did retreats, etc., but my life is just as miserable as before, or even more. I have lost my faith in chanting mantras or sitting because it had not made me any happier or wiser. I feel old and kind of burned out, I do not feel the slightest inspiration to sit zazen, chant mantras or ...

Strange is really the way which drives to the Cold Mount We see no beaten track, no trace of hoof. The valleys meander to lost of sight, The summits sparkle of dew and the pines mutter under the wind Did you not understand yet? Reality asks the way to the shadow.
