Zen and the Art of Lost and Found
If we
choose to content ourselves with an intellectual appreciation and
understanding, often referred to mistakenly as ‘wisdom’, we will remain lost in
the sphere of delusion and self-deception.
It is
fascinating to be able to look back at something … especially with my now
well-trained analytical eye …
I can
always see what I did or did not do … what was right or wrong … that was always
easy …
When
I am lazy as Hell, which is often, … I can be content with seeing what I did or
did not do … watch and do nothing.
What
eludes me is the comprehension of the metaphysical drive forces that act as the
engine of my passions at times … that pushes me on to do things … to create
thoughts … safe imaginings … pretense … and grand illusions about who and what
it is that I think I am … or should be … or could be …
Discovery
Made:
These
grand illusions are what keep me prisoner in and of my own mind.
These
grand illusions are the concoctions of my diversions … they allow me not to see
… not to feel … not to be … while all at the same time appearing to be filling
all those supposed functions … and doing nothing other then wasting the only
true life currency I have.
