One-pointedness!

Saturday 6:20 p.m.
                              I got a book called Chakras by Harishi Johari about ten years ago.. I think it might be about Tantric yoga from the hindu side. Yoga anyway. Here's a bit:
                              - Until the mind is free of distractions and a permanent one-pointedness develops, the state of salvation is impossible to achieve.-
                              One Pointedness .... -is a state of mind wherein, on the fading away of one thought, another thought follows in succession with the previous thought; when there is a continuous succession of such thoughts, the mind is called 'one pointed'. ... when one-pointedness is mastered, one acquires super-conscious concentration. This samadhi (realised non-duality) is true yogic samadhi, leading to salvation. -
                               Well, there it is.

To give the boy his due, he's right that the state of salvation is impossible to achieve.

Albert? I don't think he quite said that! Have you got a pointy head already? A right forceps delivery you turned out to be! Hotboy
