all things are made manifest... how?
western science is catching up with the wisdom of the ancients everyday. for example, the noble prize winning scientist whose work in quantum physics backs up budddhist experiences of the fundamental units of matter (only his discovery didn't bring him inner peace)...the discovery of neurons in the gut supporting the vedic system of medicine.
when will man stop feeling he has to externalise to understand. it is a really wasteful use of the brain we were given. constantly running all information through one piece of circuitry in the lefthand brain.
this constant separation of the logical from the intuitive is detrimental. compare it to the western system of medicine which extracts only the active compound from a herb discarding the rest only to find that the the other compounds had complementary effects. its like stripping carbohydrate of its nutritious bran coating which the body uses to ensure slow release of the sugar in the blood.
we tend to reduce everything to a transaction or reaction. this is why we cannot see the divine. the divine is the mysterious effect which creates something more than the sum of the individual parts. it is beyond logic. it is the difference between knowledge and understanding. when mind and body are in balance then the spiritual arises. the spirit is essential and complete and has no need for language. in fact to try and describe it is the ultimate foolishness. but i'm sure you all felt it at some point as a child.
the mind talks of beta endorphins...the spiritual just smiles and breathes deeply.
we feel the only way to know our bodies is to cut them up and root about inside a corpse. only when we have dissassembled our entire universe like a child taking apart a television will we realize what we knew all along. except we'll all be sitting in a big mess. what is the degree of separation between 'you ' and anything else in experience?
who are you trying to prove things to?
you are of the divine. beware the windmills of your mind. great servant cruddy master.
boundless loving kindness
