Day off POV.
Went for a little walk at the weekend.
Good afternoon.
Nothing trumps the present moment.
Douglas Harding’s ‘Headless Way’ strikes me as a particularly English, no nonsense, method of experiencing non-duality. Effectively it boils down to the following:
- Point at your own head
- Recognise there’s nothing there but everything
- 🤯 Mind blown
- Have a cup of tea
Seeing what you really are is recognising that you are nothing that you thought you were but are instead everything that is happening.
It’s funny when you catch yourself trapped in the idea and thought about something instead of the thing itself. Transfixed by the menu while ignoring the meal! 😂
Good afternoon.
“The question isn’t whether you live in a free country — it’s whether you’re free to be who you actually are.”
It all counts…
I always forget that gratitude is the most powerful superpower.
Good afternoon.
It’s not about getting rid of one perspective and stabilising another. Swapping one story for another. It’s about recognising and accepting that everything is impermanent. All of it. Nothing survives the flow of change no matter how much you want it or try to hold on to it. All is perpetual flux.
“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
— Ludwig Wittgenstein
“A world where everything must be seen is a world where nothing is understood.”
“Wisdom is not knowing and knowing that I do not know. Ignorance is not knowing that I do not know. Sufficient are the fingers on one hand to count the number of times I have heard a man flatly say, “I do not know.’”
“Zen doesn’t answer questions, it dissolves them.”
— Barry Magid
If you insist upon life having meaning I can only bring your attention to whatever is happening right here, right now.
When all questions vanish, when all frameworks dissolve, when all explanations are unnecessary.
“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”
— John Wooden
