Believing that things thought-about provide the reasons for them being
thought about is the same as believing that looking at the sun will reveal
the cause of night and day.

 

 

Question: If you entered a race imagining the prize to be a solid gold sword,
and upon finishing found that you received not the imagined gold sword
but a real steel shovel, would you be disappointed?

 

 

One man was ultimately surprised to finally find that -- except in his mind
he didn't dislike anybody, wasn't critical of anything, didn't want anything
in particular, and just all-in-all didn't really have much of anything to say

"What is enlightenment but being free of your attitude?"

 

 

Everyone believes they live by a river -- they're mistaken, they live by an ocean.
In other words, thoughts don't actually "run" anywhere, they just bob, up and down,
forever...and ever...and ever...and ever.
