Deep Thinking

by juliepenkova ^Pro @ 2009-11-05 – 22:20:04

The forces of the universe are ruthless
They treat everyone impartially
Wanting and dreaming obscures the way things are
Decide to struggle against the universe or decide to move with it
Between everything is a space that changes shape but not form
It is an emptiness that charges everything with an inexhaustable breathing
the more it breaths the more things happen
try to explain it and it just becomes more confusing.
But beyond words, deep within, something understands the breathing emptiness
As effortlessly as deep breathing.... deep think

How do you interpret this quote from the Tao

I have to admit I can't... it fries my brain a bit

For me it's just... open one eye at a time. Ignore all the swirly bits, dazzles and black spots.

Make legs move to side of bed... ignore pain, cramp and the feeling that someone has shoved a red hot iron rivet somewhere between knee and ankle.

Get up very very slowly. And try not to fall in the wardrobe....

And once all this is achieved, somehow everything else (spiritual and practical) just falls into place!

  Oh Tyll... so sorry....
  I think you hit the nail on the head when you expressed
  somehow everything else spiritual and practical falls
  into place.
  I posted this quote because in part it puzzled me to!!
  especially the first part as I presumed, like nature
  it knows best... maybe nature gets enoyed with us
  at times...
  Usually the Tao is like a quiz on the mind anyway
  Lets take our time and go with the flow

  I perfectly understand
  Sometimes the Tao quotes intrigue me very much
  but this one needed more thought and relection

Deep thinking is as natural to me as breathing. Helps me sort out the fluff from the genuine.

Oh yes - sunyata. I am reinded here, of the Greek notion of 'zero', originally defined by the indent a pebble makes in the sand.
