Ilie Cioara ~ The Psychological Zero

Excerpts taken from the book by Cioara, "The Supreme Reality" -
translated by Petrica Verdes.


Ilie Cioara (1916 - 2004) was an enlightened mystic who did not
belong to any lineage. He is unique in a way, in the sense that
he lived in almost complete isolation, in Romania, Eastern Europe
in a communist country, completely oblivious of nonduality, Zen,
etc. Originally a Christian mystic, he practised a mantra for
over 20 years. One day, he felt an intuitive impulse to drop the
mantra, and just practice the silence of the mind, by listening
to the noises on the street, in the now. After following this
practice for a few years, one morning, as he was waking up from
his sleep, he realised the veils had completely dropped. His
description of meditation is fresh and devoid of any tradition
and jargon.
