: Friends,
:
: By "Faith" I do not mean anyone
: has to have the same faith in my God or gods
: as I do. By Faith I mean that no matter our
: personal philosophy we rely on something we
: have "named" to get us through our
: day. Especially the difficult ones.
:
: For ren ying it is faith in the
: "swing". For some it is simply
: faith in existence. For some it is the
: eternal Tao. Others Allah. Others the Great
: Spirit in the Sky. Others claim no faith in
: anything at all. Some have faith in no
: faith.
:
: We all trust in something. I trust in
: existence. And for me there is something
: behind or beyond the One and the Many.
: Beyond temporal existence. Something
: eternal. Something Moses called "I AM
: THAT I AM".
:
: Letting go of our conditioning is what it is
: all about for me. Being born again. Waking
: up. Returning to our original self, our
: original nature.
:
: And for me I find this best done when I let
: go of words.
:
: Butcho
:
: Letting go of conditioning is what it's all
: about for me too. Your "We all trust in
: something" gave me pause, wondering
: what it is I trust in. On reflection,
: strangely it's cause and effect, process,
: AKA Tao, the Way.
:
Yes Josef, letting go of conditioning, i like that!
in peace,
