HELLO AGAIN PERSPECTIVE...
IF YOU DON'T MIND FORUM I WILL JUMP IN ON THIS ONE...
LIKE YOGA ZEN IS ANOTHER CLOSE TO THE HEART
FOR THOSE THAT KNOW NOT I USUALLY SUM IT UP AS THIS
ZEN THOUGHT IS THE PLANTING OF A SEED
AND WITH TIME THE SEED WITH GROW AND THE THOUGHT WILL BECOME YOU... ZEN USES STORIES PARABLES AND EXAMPLES IN VERY SIMPLISTIC AND VISUAL TERMS SO THAT A DEEP THOUGHT/MESSAGE CAN BE PLANTED... AND AS FOR THE PHYSICAL ABUSE THAT IS SOMETHING I DO NOT AGREE WITH AND IT IS NOT A ZEN THING NECESSARILY IT IS A METHOD USED BY SOME "TEACHERS" TO GET THE STUDENTS ATTENTION AND IS THE SAME AS SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE WEST USED TO CARRY CANES AND WHACK YOU....WHEN I USED TO DO THE TAROT I WOULD USE THE ZEN SEED PLANTING AS PART OF THE SUBLIMINAL WORK...!
AND AS FOR THE SPONTONAITY THIS IS THE ULTIMATE BEING HERE NOW AND IS A SELF GENERATION WHICH REQUIRES NO OUTSIDE HELP OR INFLUENCE AND IS VERY "ZEN" WHICH IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM IMPULSIVE WHICH IS A SUDDEN IMPELLING FORCE AND IS PREVALENT IN THE RE-ACTIVE PERSONALITY TYPE...NOT THE ACTIVE PERSONALITY TYPE OF BEING SPONTANEOUS IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENTATION AND YES IT IS SUBTLE BUT AS I SAID IN MY SHIVA STORY THE CONCISE AND PRECISE USE OF LANGUAGE ...!!!
AND SPEAKING OF BOOKS
"ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE"
I HAVE RECOMMENDED THIS BOOK THOUSANDS OF TIMES IS A MUST MUST READ AND CAN BE RE-READ AND RE-READ AND GIVEN AS GIFTS ETC...
TO PRE-DAWN AND SAMANA AND OTHERS... THERE IS ANOTHER THOUGHT THAT I GIVE OUT AND USED TO BE ALMOST A PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE WHEN EVERYBODY INCLUDING OPRAH WAS DOING THE "DEEPAK CHOPRA SAID THIS AND DEEPAK CHOPRA SAID THAT BLAH BLAH" THE WORDS HE PUT OUT MADE HIM A LOT OF MONEY BUT... THEY WERE UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE AND CAN BE FOUND BY ANYBODY SO INCLINED IF THEY TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE GITA AND READ THE UPANISHADS ETC AND SORRY FORUM DON'T WANT TO FALL INTO THREAD HYJACKING WILL END THERE..
"IT IS THE MESSAGE...NOT THE MESSANGER"
