December 31, 2011

We are our own worst enemies.  We grind ourselves into disease and dust with our constant resistance to "what-is," no matter what it is.  The grass is always greener and the mind a many-tentacled thing.  Nevertheless, I resolve again this New Year's to take notice of my ceaseless restlessness as it happens, to stop squandering this peaceful present moment, and to cultivate awareness of no-mind until it becomes the autonomic default undergirding nothing, no matter what.

"...it is the One before whom words recoil." - Shankara

"...human craving can never be satisfied except by the unitive knowledge of God..." - Aldous Huxley
