True awakening - part 1

Excellent! Thank you!

I was very intrigued by your teachings. I recently attended the teachings of The Dalai Lama. A deep meditative way of reaching nothingness,the non self. Both of you have tickled my way of thinking, (or not thinking.) It is rather funny when you think about it, removing thought about future, past, fantasy, it seems that that Takes Thought. My comment about your part 2 is; when you said the present moment, nothingness, is not bliss, or enlightenment, but being present in the moment, I feel differently about that. When one can be in the present moment, (which is a difficult place to be, given our ego, past, future concept), still, when one can reach this place, (state), then I feel this is the moment of the beginning, if not more, of Bliss,and Enlightenment.
