mat black Posted January 10, 2008 Jakara, that was nice. Thanks. It could be the intro to the whole site. A reminder of keeping perspective so to speak  The result is a complete absorption into a view of ourselves as part of a universal whole. We view and feel the world and everything in it as part of ourselves and celebrate this with our daily practice without need for a goal. Real compassion is an unavoidable consequence which requires no effort.  Yes. Because it's our true nature which is known when it is revealed. Like a bubbling spring from inside.  From this point on a continual practice of non-conceptual meditation results in a natural journey through further states that include a naturally arising intention for yoga, alchemy, ritual and eventually leads to earthly and heavenly immortality and the return to the source itself.  This is when that within us which knows and remembers the source begins to awaken and we follow the lead to nuture it.  Your post reminds me of this from The purity and Tranquility Scripture:  ...... Get rid of desires for good And the mind will be calm Cleanse your mind And the spirit will be pure.....  Those who have abandoned their desires Observe your mind by introspection - And see there is no mind......  In purity and tranquillity Gradually enter the true Tao When the true Tao is entered It is realised  When we speak of 'realised' Actually there is nothing to attain Rather we speak of realization When someone begins to tranform the myriad beings  The highest gentleman does not fight The lesser gentleman loves to fight Highest virtue is free from virtue Lesser virtueclings to virtue  All clinging and attatchments Have nothing to do with the Tao or the Virtue  ...........Those who understand the realization of the Tao Will rest forever in the pure and tranquil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
