you don't focus on the concept of nothingness. this is detailed in the platform sutra. the mind is already empty, and already pure. you don't meditate on purity or nothingness, those are concepts. once you reach a certain level of meditative practice your mind will naturally become empty. and you don't meditate on it.

if you meditate on Emptiness you idolize the Nothing from the Neverending story. this is the falseness of the Mahayana teaching, to reify nothingness as a concept, the Nothing, who is the villain witch destroys dreams

Anon, dont let anyone on here deceive you; meditating in THAT way (which is most common) is the spiritual equivalent of leaving your car unlocked and windows rolled down.

Your mind goes on overdrive because its literally trying to help you. You are constantly supposed to be thinking of MEANING and PURPOSE; if you arent constantly searching you will get literally robbed and invaded; willfull thought is your friend not your enemy

I forgot to mention that when I focused on nothingness, my third eye started vibrating.

Focusing on a thought is like observing one pipeline in a megalopolis. Focusing on 'nothing' is observing the motion of everything in the entire city all at once. When you can 'see' the whole picture, really seeing with your mind, you will find that your brain has higher depth and resolution of imagery than what your eyes can see.

your third eye didn't start vibrating your gonna get copped (spiritually which is a million times worse then physically) dude

I'm OP and this guy is not me.
I am a straight normal male.
I was just curious as I experienced this spontaneously and decided to make note of it.

Interesting. It kind of looks like shades of black and white in different patterns and textures.

Bump.

>what causes this
satan trying to put negativity into your head
mediate and contemplate the power and love of God, Jesus Christ, & the Holy Spirit and pray. satan works in part trying to put things into our heads
our Father in heaven
may Your name be kept holy
may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
give us our daily bread
and forgive us our debts as we forgive those in debt to us
and put us not to the test and deliver us from the evil one
for Your's is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever
in Your Son Jesus Christ's name Amen

For the same reason that you cannot imagine a square circle, nothingness is illogical in itself, by already imagining something (in this case "nothingness") you are paradoxically already thinking about something.

the brain works overtime trying to bring you back to this physical reality
thats why scans of brains of people on psychedlics are more active, its because its working overtime trying to bring back its observer to return to the delusion of reality

Pi = 3.1485?

A square circle, a 7-sided triangle, a married person single. Nothingness is a logical impossibility, it cannot exist and therefore cannot be imagined. If you try to imagine nothingness you would already be imagining something which contradicts the concept of absolute nothingness.

Interesting.
So is the brain itself a prison for the soul/consciousness?
Is that why people who did alot of hallucinogenic drugs or had Near Death Experiences end up breaking that aspect of the brain and gain psychic powers/awareness?

Is the human organism itself the Black Cube of Saturn that was tailor-made to imprison and enslave souls?

Bump.
