Andy teaches a technique to get to no mind. It was easy for me… but I doubt that it’s easy for you.
When you are a “normal” human: living more than 70% of the time in your mind, repeating the same mental processes day in and day out, when you relate to the world through the mind, when you don’t spend any time in the present moment, then getting into no-mind is beyond you.
