As consciousness is the ground of mind, understanding is its function.
There’s nothing a body-mind can do but understand, and a body-mind cannot understand. Only consciousness does.
Love is to the manifest as intuition is to the unmanifest. And scene.
I see the first two boats upon the famous river sandbar this afternoon. Soon there will be hundreds.
The Massachusetts jungle is in early leaf. I’ve even heard a tree frog or two.
By the time I turned thirty, I thought my transcendentalism was impractical but I could not tell my therapist exactly why.
My mother was agoraphobic so my therapist prescribes hiking in the White Mountains instead of antidepressants and that makes all the difference in the world.
The first mountain that I hike is Pemigewasset, known to the tourists as Indian Head.
There was no one on the summit but an old man smoking a cigarette and drinking a can of beer.
Peak bagging is just more city nonsense, he says. The hike is not about the summit. It’s all about the wall.
Hiking any respectable mountain is like the tantric act of Bodhidharma’s wallgazing.
By hiking through the wall, the wall is known to be one’s own creation, grasshopper.
footnotes
there is reality and surreality
there is lucid surreality and occluded surreality (cloudy, partly cloudy, or partly sunny).
if reality is absolute awareness, lucid surreality is self-awareness.
dante says the door to hellfire says abandon hope all ye who enter here.
julian of norwich says all manner of hell shall be well.
spontaneously is my only addendum
it's not that i am manifesting surreality. of course i am. it's just such manifestation can't be stored in memory. so tonight, i'm making it up as i go.
memory is a pallette and not a painting
it ain't rocket science. enlightenment is self-awareness period
the universe appears in consciousness. consciousness appears in self-awareness.
self-awareness is a feature and not an appearance.
absolute awareness is self-aware. that is all absolute awareness is.
