Acting And Meditating

The path of meditation accomplishes

what acting, the experience of being a

character, does naturally.

Here’s a myth…it’s difficult to experience

non ego…takes hours of meditation…no.

All it takes is the willingness to be a

character on stage. There’s no way that

can happen if you’re dragging the baggage

of yourself along with it. You get into the 

character….it takes a while to see that you

can be that role…when that happens…while

it’s happening….there is no discursive thought….

just the next line....and the person you're
pretending to be, who is as real as the person
you think you are.

Confidence in your role

brings a satori…a rush sometimes.

The problem with acting is that it does’t

dissolve ego….just postpones it.

Harsh example….and I loved Robin….

Did he kill himself because he was losing

his time on stage?
