Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Isn't enough to get on your own direct introduction to your own nature, avoid any doubt concerning this unique state and keep up being in this state? For, when you see directly the absolute state of your mind, you can stabilize this view and integrate it into your everyday life😵

Indeed. It's relative anyway. I think I have a pretty strict vision of what I would like to achieve with my dicsipline(s).
How is your beloved kid? What did you teached it lately?

My boy is learning new words and things everyday at this age. He is currently doing a headstand on the couch. I'll ask him what he learned and post it here tomorrow🙂

You already know that your young boy has a physically sharp zen. If you could only learn at the rate your son is learning, you would become a muni in no time. I am sure you could remember how to do such a thing the very moment that you would choose to start seeing the world and your self constantly with the eyes of a child -and: keep up being at that state

Its a way to reject spirituality with the appearance of embracing it. 😛
Or are you really ready to demonstrate how exactly your religious way is more, say, spiritual than any other religious or non-religious way?

Perhaps I am being pedantic but I think it would be more accurate if it said:
There is nothing either good or bad,
but feeling makes it so.
Anyone agree?
