Make way for the Content Brigade! A strange little non-koan koan that I'm working with today, and it totally might not have anything to do with Zen, but it might. Just saying.

My non-koan koan that I'm working with at the moment is capturing this concept of a 'person' as it moves about and does things today. I try to consciously see this 'person' while I am typing, moving about through the house, talking shit and cleaning. As I do something and my mind drifts for a moment and tries to let go of this 'person', I'll immediately think, 'person!' and my attention snaps right back.

Now here is the heretical part that will really piss Voldemort off and get his panties in a bunch. The more I do this 'person' non-koan koan, something becomes luminous to me, for lack of a better term. This luminous force, lets call it dharma-nature, becomes blindingly apparent to me. Its there, and never left. The more I observe and feel this dharma-nature, the more I realize that this is the true Mind, and not this 'person' construct. To merely be bound up with this limited 'person' is a great waste. That's my little bit of non-Zen sacrilege for the day, so blah blah blah, smoke your mummy dust, Ewk, and try to drag me down from the heavens while I peacefully destroy this concept of a 'person'. Oh yeah, and Dogen is still dunking on fools just like LeBron is almost 800 years later. Peace.
