True Contemplation

Two Truths

There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous." Raymond Chandler

Humble

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a Spirit is manifest in the Laws of the Universe-a Spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we, with our modest powers, must feel humble." - Albert Einstein 

Personal essay

In Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes says, "Any truth is better than infinite doubt." This week, take a moment to reflect on what have become your personal truths, based on your own investigation and experience. Perhaps, as Christopher McCandless did in the Alaskan wilderness, you've discovered that "happiness is only real when shared." Explore what you stand for, what you value, and how you measure your life experiences. Then express these thoughts in a personal essay.

Self-transformation

Four Recognitions

1)    Impermanence:  Every experience is transcient and ever changing

2)    Dissatisfaction:  To the degree that you try to hold to or grasp any changing experience, you will experience suffering.  This is like psychic rope burn.

3)    Selflessness:  Upon careful examination, every experience, and every experiencer, dissolves.  It is impossible to find any enduring separate self in this ceaseless flow of energy-information that weaves an endless field of interdependencies.

4)    You will begin to glimpse a dimension of mind that is empty, clear, and unimpeded like the sky.  This quality of boundless, clear awareness is the true home and essence of mindfulness."

Taste as many as you can

Within each of us

"Within each of us, in the ground of our being, powers reside for the healing of our world. These powers do not arise from any ideology, access to the occult, or passion for social activism. They are inevitable powers. 

Because we are part of the web of life, we can draw on the strength--and the pain--of every creature. This interconnection constitutes our "deep ecology": it is the source of our pain for the world as well. 

(Joanna Macy)

The Source is Full

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change yet the essence remains the same. Every wondrous sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade. But do not be disheartened, the Source they come from is eternal, growing, branching out, giving new life and joy. Why do you weep? That source is within you, and this whole world is springing from it. The S

ource is full, its waters are ever-flowing,

do not grieve, drink your fill. The endless ocean will never run dry!  - Rumi
