The Process of Negation in the Spiritual Path
The negation is so important as you say and it's traditionally the preliminary practice of emptiness in most Buddhist traditions to see that we're taught. I think people can get lost in that negation, that's the problem. The process of negation has a role in our spiritual practice especially in the beginning but then we don't understand the rest of our lives just the negation. If we reside in that awakened mind that non-ego-emanded then it's not like suddenly everything becomes empty or we lose any kind of appreciation to life because we are in this holistic story instead of mind.
