Teaching
different in their practice. I have to remind myself that all too
often we only see what we are looking for and miss much of what lies
before us. The real practice is in allowing the experience to live
us so that we stop getting in the way.
Essence
The essence of life is the bitter/sweet nectar of
emptiness.
Our struggle to fill the emptiness is the root of our suffering and discontent. The meaning of life are the words themselves. And yet the meaning of a thing is not its name. Living motivation stems from the flowering of curiosity, rooted in direct observation. Ambivalence is the terminal by-product of self-delusion. The purpose of living is to express the ever more subtle metaphor of existence. Conversely life has no purpose without the creative act. Fear is a shadow cast by an imaginary being. To Love you must surrender to yourself and die a little bit everyday.
