When there are no memories happening about 'the past', no expectations happening about 'the future', and no opinionated commentary happening about 'the present', comparing it to either 'the past' or 'the future', what remains?
Be still, and know.

Be still, and know. Its something good right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be pointing to it, right? |

Be still, and know. I'm sorry the about the ill beast. I remember stuff and the future is like a hopeful thought. Sometimes that can be a pain but people can be a bit funny like that. |

But you are not pointing this out because you think that what remains is bad are you? Even if its not actually good or bad, I hope that you think its good, otherwise you are just being mean by pointing people to something you think is bad! |

I still don't know. That's coz you're not being still enough. Maybe you just don't want to know. Nothin wrong with that.  |

Even if its not actually good or bad, I hope that you think its good, otherwise you are just being mean by pointing people to something you think is bad! No, no. It's DEFINATELY not bad!! As a result, it could be described as good, but not without engaging memory. I'm pointing beyond that. |

And anyway, you'd need to engage memory to describe it as bad as well. Or as anything else.
I'm not requiring a conceptual answer from you.

I know you think you are pointing beyond good and bad, but you're not really because you would like peeps to 'get' something that you have 'got', which you think is good, right? |

I'm sure that Stillness will teach us how to be still so that we can learn how to know. All I can say is that it is not contained within memory, expectation or comparing commentary of the mind. However, these things don't remove it. If you want to know, look for yourself. If you don't, well, don't. |

I know you think you are pointing beyond good and bad, but you're not really because you would like peeps to 'get' something that you have 'got', which you think is good, right? Again, it certainly aint bad!  I'm just looking for 'others' to rez with, what ever that means. |

Actually, thinking about it now, because what I'm pointing can not contain 'badness', I do indeed like it. It's not ACTUALLY good, but my reaction to it in retrospect (once memory is re-engaged) is to call it good.
