This much I can tell you:
I have experienced brief moments of the stillness of my mind; what he calls the gap between thought. The absence of pain and suffering while in these moments is beyond the ability of words to convey. This is the place to be, but my mind is so powerful, it draws me back in to its suffering and madness; its horrid disease of compulsion.
My goal is to put together some type of study group to review his work, to go through the teachings together. My hope would be that perhaps a group setting would enable presence to be sustained for longer periods of time... power attained in the raising of a collective consciousness. Maybe then a teacher can be found to help deepen the understanding and an end to suffering might be possible.

As a temporary solution may I try to help. You can envision yourself in a room full of others all like you. Different in looks, but the same goal in mind. To create the power of "Nothing" within yourself.
Here goes: Go to the quietest place you can find. Somewhere that noise will not find you for a while. Pretend you're all sitting in a circle, legs crossed, holding hands. Now, all eye's are closed and you seee only the color black. Your minds are at peace, there is no sound (even if you hear one, you remove it). This black takes you to a movie theater, the darkest one can find. No one is there and the screen is devoid of any light. The screen is Blank, The Screen is Black and there is No Sound. You can not think of anything but this screen. Focus on this screen and Nothing Else! Until the only focus you have is Nothing. There is no thinking in Nothing, so if a thought creeps in you remove it. Use your obsession as a strength to stay there. Stay there and do not allow yourself to come from there.
Do this exercise longer and longer each day. Do not loose that screen, that blank screen in a dark silent movie theater. Do not allow your mind to deviate from any thought besides "No Thought"!
Thank you. This is helpful.
