"First there is a mountain,

Then there is no mountain,

Then there is."

 

From a Donovan song.

 

But he took it from Taoist philosophy and I did research it one time a long time ago and found the quote that he took and used it in the song.

 

Meditation is similar to this concept. We live with the mountain in view (the mountain is external) then we become one with the mountain (therefore there is no mountain) then we end our meditation and get back to everyday life (and then there is again the mountain).

 

Peace & Love!

We both know I did not do justice to your post

in this symphony that follows

watching skies split moving out in all

directions

away from core

awareness

shaken from this insight into this

intense pleasure from receiving

movements

whispering my senses into

ecstasy

 

and on my way home an idiot perhaps

skipping almost

The last two lines of Tung-shan Liang-chieh's classic, Song of the Jeweled Mirror Samadhi could possibly serve to cap the movement of this little thread hidden within mountains:

 

With practice hidden, function secretly, like a fool, like an idiot.

Just to continue in this way is called the host within the host.

How can a fool stay in hiding?

It has been said that Lao Tzu was the first teacher of camouflage.

 

If we appear as a fool no one is going to bother us. No one will understand our true intentions.

Brought to mind the thought: Hiding in full view.

 

We have become hidden because we have become a part of everything else.

 

Peace & Love!
