This is an interesting perspective, seen by Alan Watts and others…in short, if your feel that you need perfecting, you are also the one that is tasked with doing the job, so the imperfect person oversees perfecting the imperfect one…which leads to a vicious circle. If you see yourself as needing improvement, you have merely solidified your imperfection…
Free will or destiny?
Is our self-talk trending toward survival?
Life is something I have no control over. It’s just something that happens, win or lose. Now, video games, I’ve got a chance! I focus all of my attention, and die a thousand times and keep coming back…just to get to the next level.I wonder what would happen if I focused on my life with the same intensity, and searched to find the magic sword? #findthemagic
The eternal song of NOW.
Intelligence is not an “adding to”; the usefulness of a cup is its emptiness…
It’s a dangerous state when our mind-held beliefs become calcified even in the face of irrefutable evidence.
We attach meaning to an event in order to explain it, to justify our actions, to expose the Truth about something. But meaning is just an interpretation of an experience that, at best, can be used as a pointer to the event, in the hope that another can derive the same experience. MEANING isn’t real. It certainly isn’t static, and it does the opposite of our best intentions; it tells more about us than it does about what it is…
Take action. Observe the results. Act again, observe again.repeat, repeat, repeat.Eventually your purpose will reveal itself,but the more you try to think and plan your way,the more lost you may become.
This came from one of my friends, Rod Allen, and is perhaps the “cleanest” way to describe within the limits of language what the nature of reality and consciousness may be…I have said “we’re all hair on the same dog”, but I think Rod’s description is more accurate, and certainly more elegant. Thanks Rod!
