Heaven

Interpreting the six lines of Heaven in terms of Buddhism, a
dragon is something that has spiritual capacity and adaptive
creativity --- a metaphor for the buddha-nature.

In the stage where one practices mediations to buddha-nautre, one should
continuously direct one's vitality to advancing in this exercise, so one
"works by day and is wary at night."

In the stage where one conforms to buddha-nature, one does not hold
religious attachment, an imitative path, ans do one "may leap in the abyss."

Speaking solely in terms of cultivating inner qualities, yang is the
quality of knowledge; this is the practice of insight. The infertile insight
of beginners needs concentration to balance it --- it should not be used
alone.

---------------------------------------------------------------
At the peak, the characteristics of knowledge and insight
connot be apprehended, cannot be grasped.
----------------------------------------------------------------

At the peak, the dragon has regret.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Earth

At the peak, it is because intellect has concentration that one knows to regret.
In battle, when concentration lacks wisdom, the path comes to an impasse.

Now if we concider Heaven to be the main practices and Earth the auxiliary
practices, the the six line os Earth represent the six ways of transcendence.

Giving is like treading on ice; mastery of this can being on "ice," which represents
celestial qualities.

Wisdom

Of all the virtues wisdom seems to be the most

difficult ... The first thing to understand is how

does wisdom differ from love. Well, for me this

is a difficult question to answer because I've

watched it more than I've used it. But it is the focus

of a moment and love is a continuous process ...

It is a hard thing to understand - especially in relationship

to the idea of beauty into which it is woven.

the presence of the rose

in the presense of the rose-

the leave and the petals and the stems -

the thorns and the odor -

that lingers and mingles -

alive ...

the angles which radiate out ...

and radiate in ...

small circles - that go on ...

large circles - encompass them ...

and us ...

being that crazy ...

Awesomeness

What I can't deny - or hide but feel -

Experience wonder and regret -

Being satisfied - exhilerated -

Seeing that light - in everything -

And I feel - always feel - without regret -

For that - moment - all the moments -

----------------------------------------

oh - yes - like the reasons for
everything and everyone

----------------------------------------

grateful.....

-----------------------------------------

for you ...

-----------------------------------------

regular shadows

The woman in the golden dress - from -

the glass-bead game - symbol of all

that is - the answers - the questions - the

murkiness - the shadows - the endings -

the truth -

And so are the shadows - the breaking the

becoming - so is timelessness - and if I could

know ????

Only in the shadows does time really tell -

because - why are the shadows - they don't

know - were they told ????????? Did they

ask - and if they were not certain why was

it like that ???????

I never spoke with the woman in the golden

dress ... Not that time - And I guess I was sorry

- I should be sorry about it .... It should have

been easy - it should have been nice - it should

have been .... but from behind a block of ice ---

no one knows.

focus

Glass eyed men - who stare

through the rain - looking for

questions or remarks that have

never been said -----

then eating tuna fish from buckets

forever ....

-----------------------------------------

they are looking for the light in the

tunnel ---- the excape route - through

infinity - just one quarter turn -

rotating grimmly I ask ---

okay ??????????

Like fire and like ice ....

like water and thunder ....

like water and wind .....





" when your lost in the rain

Juarz and it's Easter time tooo -

And your gravity fails and negitivity

won't bring you through .... "

Bob Dylan


----------------------------------------

If high way 61 is blowing in the wind

----------------------------------------

In remoter circuits -

Intimacy, eroticism or angles

-------

Looking back at a given moment or forward to

the next - when the option is available to look forward

to that moment --- but say at a given moment ----

what is in it -- the sound and texture, the colors ---

the emotions .....

--------

and I just keep thinking to myself -----

--------


How does a Jedi sharpen his light sabre ????

--------

It's not a joke ........

It is a joke ........

--------

stuck in the middle --- on the floor ---

holding a candle

----- against the rain ----

and the wind

--------

crys ..

--------

while the rain

never stops

---------

--------

Everthing that is

Everthing that is - is for a reason ....

Anyway - that would imply that everthing
that is not is not for some reason ....

Now just add the reasons for everthing that
is and everthing that is not and tell me
how many reason is that ????

10,000 ?????

Initiative and love

-------------

So let's just assume that love is the ultimate force
in the universe or galaxy or just in some 12x12 container.

Would love then stretch like a pole from one point to the
next ???

--------------

Is there a horizon ?

Is there an end ?

---------------

In this world or out of it ?

---------------

And if this where the last moment

What would there be to say ?

--------------

Alternatives

-----mystery, randomness, all that murkiness ---------

-------- You know what is just standing over

to the left and just behind the universe ????
-------------------------------------------------

A puzzling question

------

So suppose the universe is this wide ----

Now suddenly the universe gets bigger ----

Now - does it necessarily follow that the

universe - would choose or maybe - just

actually get smaller - in another part ( ???? )

For me this is perplexing ?????????????

And I think that the reason is that - I imagine

that within all the change - which is continously -

and mysteriously happening at ever moment - that

- there sould be a moment of coherence - where

all the dots should line up - ---- like really ????

Simple to think ...

WHAT EXACTLY IT IS

What exactly it is ...

A place - a time -

a motion - or change -

a beginning or end -

a direction - a question

being here or there -

it's just the wind -

the sound ...

and the birds ...

Confrontation

And so, my thought was that about confrontation -

and the big issue of defeat - everything in which

engages to this concept is about not be defeated

by your enemy - there is almost no other way

to describe that concept - but look - really -

--- the enemy ???? ---

We are all designed with this in mind - after all

our enemy can only be something reflected from ourselves.

Another kind of way of expressing our being

- after all -

it's economical to design it that way.
