There are no concepts here, no ideas, no stories, no meaning, no style, no art, no aesthetic — only everything in its place just as it is.
As our relationship to thinking changes we don’t cease to think, we simply lose the continual manic narration.
Can we recognise that hope is just fear in disguise?
Nothing is merely a means to an end, nothing is merely a step on the path to somewhere else. Every moment, everything, is absolutely foundational in its own right.
Barry Magid
Can we see how we tend to slice and dice our experience of the world, divide the seamless whole into ‘this’ and ‘that’?
This behaviour is easy and reassuring but only serves to solidify the abundant and infinite difference and variance of the world into immutable and distant objects to like and dislike.
“At some point there is a line we cross, and we find ourselves beyond the line.
Francis Lucille
We discover that there is something else, independently from me as a person… we are interested in something bigger, you see, and that’s when it becomes really rewarding and interesting. So we have to discover in us this impersonal interest for the Truth, not always coming from this mercantile view that we do something in order to to get something for ourselves.”
Can we allow our thoughts to simply be without judgement or enchantment? Allow them the freedom to come and go.
Thoughts only capture and control us if we identify with them, personalise them and hold onto them as true representations. Can we simply notice them, accept and acknowledge them, then let them go and watch them evaporate as quickly as they emerge?
There is a there, there, but when we’re there we find there’s nothing there.
If we look and listen with open awareness can we find the infinite, the absolute, emptiness is expressed through all things, all forms, everything.
