Tao Speaks: Wu Yu and Zi le

Wu Yu and Zi le

Greetings all,

After talking to my wife the other day about Zi le, consummate contentment, and how desire is born from discontentment, the light of day brought with it new eyes.

Why would we do anything if we were fully contented?

From rat's Apophatic Mysticism,

With the realization of "zi le," (sovereign, or auto-generated contentment), the individual's fundamental satisfaction with life will no longer be contingent upon external circumstances. Mystical contentment depends exclusively on the manner by which one perceives, processes and responds to circumstances. How our minds consciously and unconsciously characterize the quality of our reality is not merely descriptive, it is causative. The effectiveness of our responses to the perceived changes in the world around us depends entirely on the emotional and intellectual predispositions with which we assess such changes.

So, what seemed a paradox now seems to fit in the Wu Yu reality of the double walk.
