Japanese Rock Garden
I like the caption on the top image by the NYT because the raking around the garden in creating the patterns in the sand is an art and well worth researching it is a profound meditation in itself.
However one might try to find enlightenment which I feel is a misleading goal, it has a catch in it, one cannot find empty peace of mind by filling the mind with the goal of being empty. One might get a logical belief and convince oneself that the happy peaceful mind can be cultivated but this maybe just a 'mind affirmation and momentary buzzes of highs which might be beset by oscillations and yo yo between exaltation and depression.
No amount of mantra, yantra, affirmations, chanting, imagery, visualisations, meditations, hypnosis, drugs and so on will achieve that Satori, that Nirvana until the mind has given up and become empty of any solution, surrender and appeasement. It happens when 'something drops through the safety net, the trap door, the platform collapses and there it is absolutely nothing' this has been my experiences in the Ko Satori the minor glimpses.
The brain has tried every design in it's sand neurons so to speak, raked every angle and possibility and exhausted and either retreats to distraction, madness or suicide and lets go of everything in despair and perhaps the safety net fractures and the rent in the fabric of conditioning sets one off again in the pursuit of nothingness and one realises the fabric of conditioning is brain washing as set out in many earlier articles.
