Consequence
With palms together
Good Morning Everyone,
There have been no consequences: a simple, though powerful, sentence. This does not mean which bad things do not follow bad things, or which good things do not follow good things, though rather, it means:
1. things have been what they are, in a impulse they are,
2. as well as when you have been one with (and in) them, notions such as good, bad, right, wrong, past, future, have been meaningless.
Consequence assumes linearity of time as well as a dualistic subdivision of subject as well as object. When you reside in a moment, you have been residing in a impulse as it is.
Some competence disagree which if there were no consequences, which is, no subdivision between subject as well as object as well as perception of linear time, you competence misbehave, run amok, as well as otherwise cause disgusting devastation. To them I say, Look around. Living in dualism with consequentialist ethics has not shown us much.
What is a alternative? Simple really, live precisely, exactly, as well as squarely in this moment. Focus your complete attention on your goal in a situation, not a consequence. Consequence, karma, is what it is: do not be afraid. Here is a thing. When you practice, when there is no self, no ego-driven intention, behavior can be other-centered. When our goal is other-centered, adore can arise, care can be present, as well as our fright falls away.
With no interruption in a mind, no fear.
Be here now.Zen knowledge for daily living.
