Zenless Zen (Negating the Negation)

This is a 1 1/2 minute video describing Zenless Zen a much advanced teaching of our ultimate goal towards Nirvana and detachment to existence itself. Christianity refers to this as 'Letting Go and Letting God' or connecting with the Divine Source and just Being.

When we talk about non-attachment to all ideas and concepts, we should always include non-attachment to the concept of negationism itself. Zen, Dao, and similar words are used as a path to letting go of the mind's confusion. Negationism, like Zen, is simply a term of convenience.

The ego, which is our concept of self, desires only to expand its sense of existence to include all things within itself. Spiritual teachings are often welcomed by the ego, because they offer it an opportunity to identify itself with grandiose concepts such as infinity, God, etc.

In order to negate this final desperate attempt by the mind to attach its own concepts to reality, we must negate the concept of negationism itself. Our Zen must become non-zen, our Buddhism non-buddhism, and our Dao non-dao. Only by taking this final step can we free ourselves.

However, you may wonder, what self is freed when the concept of self is negated? The answer is the non-conceptual self. But do not become attached to the words, "non-conceptual self." It is only a term of convenience, pointing directly to our ineffable ordinary experience.

When all concepts are negated, what remains is the non-conceptual. This is all there really is, but the mind has confused itself with thoughts, ideas, and beliefs about it... Negationism is simply a way to stop chasing our tails mentally and make room for direct, wordless experience.
