There is one expression 'Honheo ipjin (混虛入眞)
which summarizes all methods of mind cultivation. Honheo (混虛)
is called the state of nothingness in both the tangible and intangible, it is
the state of no color or no light to the eyes. 'Through this state of consciousness,
Honheo (混虛), we will enter (入) the realm of truth (眞).'
That is the 'Honheo ipjin (混虛入眞)'. However, you should not force
yourself artificially to enter (入) the realm of truth (眞).
Once your study is mature enough then, you will naturally enter this state of
truth (入眞).
The longer you do meditate, the lesser the worldly thoughts
appear. Ten thoughts will be reduced to nine, eight, five, three, two, and
eventually the worldly thoughts will be totally vanished. Through such process,
you could enter the state of oneness with the nature. When you do meditate
continuously within such state, you will eventually attain the state of
'Manghyung mangje (忘形忘在)'; forgetting your form, forgetting
your existence.
You will totally lose the awareness of yourself; both your
existence and non-existence in this universe. 'you will even forget what you
are doing in your position.' - That state of consciousness is called as Honheo
(混虛) in which you will indeed enter (入)
the realm of truth (眞). That is the meaning of 'Honheo ipjin (混虛入眞)'.
