>21. People are often hindered by environmental phenomena from perceiving Mind, and by individual events from perceiving underlying principles; so they often try to escape from environmental phenomena in order to still their mind, or to obscure events in order to retain their grasp of principles. They do not realize that this is merely to obscure phenomena with Mind, events with principles. Just let your minds become void and environmental phenomena will void themselves; let principles cease to stir and events will cease stirring of themselves. [To FORCE the mind to blot out phenomena shows ignorance of the identity of the one with the other.] Do not employ Mind in this perverted way. Many people are afraid to empty their minds lest they may plunge into the Void. They do not know that their own Mind Is the void. The ignorant eschew phenomena but not thought; the wise eschew thought but not phenomena.

Do you see it out there? Do you see it here in the forum? Do you see it inside? love is the key to happinedss when you are older. Hahahahaha! My boy just wrote that last bit while I was opening one of those big gas station lollipops for him. He's 9. I was going to write more but this is just too perfect. Start loving, you bitter old zenners. Stop employing mind in this perverted way!
