The Last Frontier of Mind

"In meditation, I reach a threshold of mental static rather than a ‘blank canvas’. How do I get to be one with understanding rather than witnessing the static? Rupert says: ‘The experience of boredom (the static) in meditation is the last frontier of the mind. You’ve traced your way back through the layers of experience. And you’ve got to this last frontier. If you experience boredom you’re standing in your mind. You’re not standing as awareness. The Sufis refer to this as the passing away of existence and the passing away of that passing away. Just sink down deeper. Stay with the boredom. You’ll find you naturally begin to sink down into awareness. And this peaceful presence will outshine the boredom.’"
