Truth doesn’t exist in a book or in any word written or spoken or otherwise, the word itself is empty, a number of symbols, which represent a mental construct, it can not be expressed or passed on by communication or physical touch it must be experienced by the individual alone, people can only direct you, guide, lead, a person so that they can discover it for themselves, you can not make somebody understand or even learn what they don’t want to, or even understand, even the wisest soul upon this planet can not make another soul know the truth, but he or she would be extremely good at showing the way. Which is different to knowing things about truth, which is not the same as the actual truth itself. The truth of the universe I speak of cannot be spoken of, but all I can do is chip away at a stone to reveal the truth that exists within us all, but only can the individual, reveal the truth for them self. For one thing you wont experience it in this blog or any other, or anywhere on the internet, all you will find are “road signs” that will lead you down a path that could lead you any where, but step out into the “world”, and you can see it every where you look, (I don’t recommend you do it in a city if that’s where you live), though many people have not trained their mind enough to experience it. Only when the mind is really quiet, and I mean really really quiet, to the point where all those thoughts we have each moment of our waking and possibly sleeping life, that never seem to cease, begin to cease, and in the beginning it will be hard to notice but the more and more you try, the longer and longer the gap between each thought will get, and in between those thoughts you will be able to experience life for what it is, without ego, without judgment, without like or dislike, and that’s where you will also experience an ecstasy of happiness far beyond any drug you can find, and you will find your being come into line at the same level of vibration as energy itself. The path is not easy cannot be found with knowledge alone, but an equal amount of practice as well, they are both “different ends of the same stick” as the great and late Ajahn Chah would say. Knowledge and practice are both sides of the same coin, useless on their own, but boundless when joined together.
"Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself",
ZEN saying
LOVE IS ALL WE NEED, CONCENTRATION AND ENERGY ALL WE HAVE.............MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY, MAY ALL BEINGS BE HEALED AND HEALTHY, MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE FROM HARM AND SUFFERING, MAY ALL BEINGS BE AWAKENED AND LIBERATED, MAY ALL BEINGS ENJOY INNER PEACE AND EASE, MAY THERE BE PEACE IN THIS WORLD AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.............MAN IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, ONLY THROUGH THE MIND CAN EVIL SURVIVE.............
