"You want a quiet, smooth-running brain that allows easy access to what is stored there. A cadillac engine of the mind. You don't want a sleepy, moody, ignorant, slow, or jerky brain with a bad memory as a result of not knowing how to do basic preventative maintenance. It's time to change the oil!" Path Notes of an American Ninja Master by Glenn Morris

Being is the Dharmakaya but Being is not a being. The ordinary being-ness of all the beings is the being-ness of Being, which is the manifestation of the singular being-ness of Being which is no thingness from which everything and anything arises.

It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?

Utopianism substitutes glorious predictions and unachievable promises for knowledge, science, and reason, while laying claim to them all.

"I don't explain anything.  In beingness I am nature and my own nature... explicitly, completely, saturatedly...  unfettered, collosal and infinitesimal simultaneously.

 

there is no truth, or untruth to be grasped... no understanding, no comprehension to be gained or lost.

 

sit here with me, or not. 

 

nature is"

Nice, although, the secret for me is letting go... and exhaustion seems to be my chosen means to this end...

Yes, letting go in an untimely manner may cause one great pain and suffering.

no doubt!  Lately I generally prefer to not let go until my feet are firmly rooted.

I am reminded of the movie, "Contact," where they bolted the chair to the floor for safety despite the plans not calling for it.

There are those who love to get dirty and fix things.  They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work.  And those who stay clean, just appreciate things.  At breakfast they have milk and juice at night.  There are those who do both, they drink tea.
