"Life is because polarties are. Just that simply" Mr. Alan Watts inspired and taught me to write that, albeit quite small. His vocabulary is the most broad and far reaching that I have ever heard in my nearly 49 years here on this earth. A remarkable, brilliant man.

If you try to catch it, it will elude you.
If you stop trying, like REALLY stop trying, somehow it magically appears.

I am me and that's all I am ...
And that's I'll ever be is me.
Now you is you and that's all you'll ever be.

the closest english speaking word that I can find to mean "zen" is "flow"

Vibrations lead to resonance, which in turn leads to Knowledge. Knowledge to reason. Reason leads to judgment, and judgment leads to will and will leads to wisdom and compassion. Wisdom and compassion lead to the ultimate state of the FULLNESS = ZEN = DIVINE WILL.

Remember ALWAYS
this process is all about YOU!!!
Not him. He is just a catalyst.

Consider, he may be your twin flame. Look into that.

After initiating your trauma, you're now left to heal all that comes up.

Major advice!!!

Listen closely!!!

NEVER CHASE HIM.

He will run further and you will lose yourself more. You are the feminine.
You just be, and approve who comes along.

It's a yes: you meet my requirements, or: no you do not.

Be clear on what you're accepting as a partner
and DO NOT settle for less
(or you just delay what's meant for you, down the pipeline).

Accept your struggle, anxiety, fear, sadness. Whatever comes up.
It's all human, and in need of your attention.
If you push it away, block it, or run from it...
You will just have to deal with it later...

Words use us as much as we use words. This video is an example.

So much time with this knowledge at hand yet it has changed nothing in civilization. I feel as if the universe keeps the chaos that is humanity to teach us.

It's only words & words are all I have.

Hi. I liked the "driving a car" analogy, it becomes second nature, like flying on "automatic pilot". Habituated thoughts, words, actions, and relationships, that do not need constant conscious monitoring. Like a married couple who've been happily married many years, and don't need to discuss everything, they just "know" what their partner's thinking. They have become "as one" with each other. No stress. "What's for dinner darling?" "FroZEN chicken with froZEN peas. Ah, peas at last. Cheers, P.R.

Sounds like " whoever tells you they understand quantum physics , they don't understand quantum physics "

No one is right, and yet everyone is right.

[GodHelpMe]

I pray life and joy,
and complete provision
and hope over your life.
I pray good friends,
people who are interested in you, wanting to do life with you,
someone who loves you, cherishes you, to enter your life, and to stay.
I pray you heal and let your defenses down
and that you treat others, and yourself: with kindness
and that you become full of life: to do exciting things
and that even the mundane things
give you life-nourishing happiness.
In Yeshua's name, I pray.

When a person is curious and asks me what I’m thinking, my immediate response is contemplating

I am you and you are me but only one is the rider and the others is the mule one is the shepherd and the other is the sheep. Maybe that's why a thief immediately recognizes another thief.

Dhyana means the combination of focus, concentration, meditation.

The piano sound in the background of the last moments of the video... Please can someone tell me the songs name, I want that as my medication song

I enjoy zen principles and generally approach life this way...
finding it harder to do lately though, as I see people pulling this planet through their ...
its torture watching mother nature withering away, raped and pillaged by humans for selfish gain.
I never though I would witness the absolute destruction of this natural word in my lifetime.
Our unique planet, the only one we could find that supports life, doesn't matter how far we send our probes into the cosmos.
Yet civilization doesn't grasp it.
Every day that goes by one more species is closer to extinction at human hands...
how do you approach this malice in a mad world the zen way?

[Kinglysun]

So zen is just who plays the i guy best
