:
: Yes my friend, please help yourself to

: " Yes indeed, it seems that I spend a

: "Why are you and I different, pu gong

: don't?"
:
: Perhaps, my friend, is that you move and i
: don't.
: I don't seem to need to project the future
: because everything i need is already here.
:
: You, on the other hand, need to remember the
: past so you can imagine the future so you

: " So what is the (te) of sitting

:
: Perhaps, humming bird, as you sit quietly in
: that bush and see without projecting, your
: minds map will become better suited for your

The wily hummingbird hitches a ride on an Albatross.
Ant doggedly crawls up hummingbird feeder pole covered in grease to satisfy his sweet tooth.
Yin/yang is a projection of the Tao.
Yin/yang is a real projection.
Yin and yang is not.
The adept is not blind to causation.
When one is unable to discern one thing from another this is called a guest looking at a guest. Linji.
A ghost looking at a ghost.
Moutains are mountains again.
Rivers are rivers.
There is a grain to existence. It only runs one way. The complex mind can extrapolate backwards and forwards. Such thinking can be useful or a distraction from what is right before one. It is all a matter of one's level of awareness.
The center does not move because it is already everywhere for there is nowhere that is without It.
We are both center and surround. Each a unique surround abiding in the same center. From the first nothing is. Not a thing is. From the first totality is a unitive one. A unity. Not One, Oneness. A quality that subsumes all quantities. The center is eternal. The surround is finite. Real, but finite.
I could be wrong but rat doubts it and Nina swears by it and Wayne plays with it when no one is looking.
Everyone's gone to the moon.
