morning musings

We come in layers. Beneath all the layers is being. Being has no subject, has no object.

Being is neither lust nor drive nor will nor desire. Being is pure awareness.

"The sage (wise person) acts without making decisions," says Chuang Tzu.

This is not impulse.

Action comes from being. Being is of the Wellspring, the Source.

The Source enters daily life through the action of being. All beyond that is layers (I, me, mine) and metaphor (all the images and stories we make up).

This is why the wisest of all keep silence.

Those who break the silence are called bodhisattvas. But the bodhisattva is another story.

The daily world of humans is a world of story. We love our stories and do not wish to shed them. Beneath and outside them is an entirely different world.
