I actually started the "what's your story" thread to explore this.What makes a life story so sticky is: "Why it's someone else's fault I'm the way I am".This is the deception of believing the intellect. It's chock full of complicated convoluted wordy justifications for why we are right when we're wrong.Most people cannot reach this state because their "story" is clogging up the space that zanshin (i.e., alert awareness) would otherwise occupy.Yes. It's quite easy to displace wordless insight with noisy intellectual verbiage, as it never forces itself on anyone because the prerequisite for seeing is silence. When you can first give up what you have, you will already have what you need.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I'm kind of enjoying the image of Godzilla in a half-failed attempt at emitting a rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
