Giving up objects of knowledge, humans make experiences which liberate them from suffering.
Is it possible to grasp the ungraspable reality, which could bring this liberation about?
Instead of trying to describe the indescribable, which is beyond rational thought, Zen does not explain what “swimming in the ocean of the universe“ is like; instead, it points to the ocean. Thus the individual can experience the ocean for themself.
Julian Polzin works as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher. While earlier on his journey he emphasized the importance of the scientific method, he later came, through profound mystical experiences, to the insight that the current paradigm is largely insufficient to approach any super-physical phenomena. The occurrence of visions, past life memories, telepathic communications and the discovery of ancient knowledge within himself, led him to the understanding that it is of importance to teach meditation techniques rather than concepts and theories, in order to make those experiences directly accessible to anyone who is determined to do so. Liberation from suffering is not to be found in the world but by transcending it through spiritual experience, therefore going beyond the illusion of death. As such, healing can occur, the present be realized and the joy of eternal life arises.
