Dear Paul3

I understand that the way you are doing now is not ‘Satipatthana’ and not the way to 'Sunyata' or 'Nirvana' as taught by the Buddha.
If I am not wrong, the condition which you felt should be called 'Akincannayatana'.

Prince Siddhartha learnt to do this from an ascetic. But then, the Prince found out that it is not the way to "Nirvana".
Because this condition happened only during the meditation. When he exited from meditation, this condition disappeared.
So, Prince Siddhartha tried other ways until he was enlightened.

I guess that you can enter such confition of void which you mentioned only when you do the meditation.
At the time you do not do the meditation, e.g. eating, drinking, talking, walking, typing or reading etc.
You cannot enter into such condition of void. If it can be in and out, it is not Sunyata or Nirvana.
If it is 'Akincannayatana' as I expect, after you die you will reborn in 'Brahmaloka' (the Brahma world) and will still have to be in the wheel of rebirth.

If my guess is correct, I would suggest you to quit the way of dissociation from all thoughts & feelings, and try doing ‘Satipatthana’ instead. Your way is not to create 'Sati' but is to remove 'Sati'. So, it is not ‘Satipatthana’.
The void has occured because you did not aware of anything, not because you truely understood the four Noble Truth and absolutely put down the self.

Anyway, I accept that going to your stage is not an easy, and I rarely heard about it.
However, it is still not the way. So, be dare to leave it in order to find a more precious thing.

Your respectfully

Ngodngam
