INNER POISE OF STHITAPRAGYA
################
BLANK SCREEN
A2A
Eckhart stopped being depressed, not because his clinical depression evaporated, but because the feeling that “he” was depressed disappeared. He had a spontaneous collapse of the identification with his mind, and saw that his thoughts, including the thought “I am depressed,” were not him, but rather, just random phenomena passing by on a blank screen…and that he was the screen.
So the same thoughts & feelings like “I am depressed,” “I am sad,” “I’m unworthy,” or “Life is not worth living,” might still be there, might not have evaporated at all. But since he now saw himself as the impression-less, phenomena-less blank screen upon which those thoughts appeared, and no longer as the thoughts themself, he could say “Interesting thoughts…but they have no bearing on Me,” and remain in peace.
