When I look to someone else to nurture me, I am headed for trouble. I can only nurture myself through my relationship with God. This nurturing comes out of my childhood and I must leave these childhood notions there. Examine my motives. Breaking this solicitous pattern was replaced by manipulating to get what I want.  Is there anyone capable of nurturing? Did they receive when they were a child? Than how can I expect it. We are not willing to give anything to anyone. Not even to God. (Ed Rowe, 1985).

Opening the window and serving one's activities, without salvation, until the end of the body.--- Dao De Jing;

 

Do not act with intention. -- Zhuang Zhou  

 

Do what is needed without intent of giving or receiving-- my loose interpretation of both above.

There is no prison more confining than no freedom of choice. 

 

If you know of any, please let me know. 

 

Life  and our creator is a state of existence between the two.

"Before the voice can speak in the presence of the Masters, it must have lost its power to wound.

The voice that scolds, lies, abuses, complains, and wounds, can never reach the higher planes upon which dwell the advanced intelligences of the race."

Reading journal entries from 5 years ago is as close to jumping into a time machine as we can get. -  Tom Kruegler from Medium (slightly paraphrased)

The Chinese view of “emotions” is more complex than it might at first seem. Emotions are not seen as merely psychological phenomena, but rather as pertaining to the sphere of existence, of one’s being in the world as an individual entity. For this very reason, emotions are often at odds with one’s inner nature, which is inherently transcendent. When emotions and inner nature join one another, emotions turn into qualities — personality, temperament, attitudes — that allow a person to express his or her inner nature in life, according to his or her individuality.--- Liu Yiming

To contact the deeper truth of who we are, we must engage in some activity or practice that questions what we assume to be true about ourselves.

This thought rang through mind like a bell, upon waking this morning.

Questioning the status quo can result in banishment, imprisonment, ridicule or being burned at the stake, depending on your era, your locale, and the sacred cows you wish to butcher.

He who is born in imagination discovers the latent forces of Nature.… Besides the stars that are established, there is yet another—Imagination—that begets a new star and a new heaven.-- Paracelsus

Golden Elixir is another name for one's fundamental Nature. There is no other Golden Elixir outside one's fundamental Nature.---Liu Yiming, (a northern Longmen master, 1734-1821)

 

It begins with doing, and hardly can one see a thing;
when it comes to non-doing, all begin to understand.
But if you only see non-doing as the essential marvel,
how can you know that doing is the foundation?
