*Returns from lab*
I think I found it *reads label*
It is called a 'mixed drink'
The closing of the mind is a denial of what 'is'. To truly appreciate this you must understand that a state of reality exists beyond your body. To have no mind, no body, to live now and realize that life is a series of nows and thens, and that future is not something that exists...thats when you can leave your behind fears. |

What does this 21 represent? Is it merely the unlocking of a higher reality? or is it the same reality that you are letting yourself be barred from? When a Zen Master was asked what the Way was he asked the monk if he had eaten his rice. The monk said yes. The master then said "then go wash the bowl"
the monk was thus enlightened. |

| I'd be blue with a silken texture years old.... but only on even numbered days, on odd numbered days I'd have more of a granular texture. |

| Orbax |
| would that texture be you or your perception? would your nature change or you the way in which you saw nature to be. The point where Mu occurs is when you realize silk and granularity feel the same. |

the texture would be a method of posturing myself to the world in general. My own perception remains my own and therefore it changes constantly and cannot really be described in any form that any person aside from myself could reasonably understand. |

While washin the dishes one should only be washing the dishes, which means that while washing the dishes on should be completely aware of the fact that one is washing the dishes. At first glance, that might seem a little silly: why put so much stress on a simple thing? But thats precisely the point. The fact that I am standing there and washing these bowls is a wondrous reality. I'm being completely myself, following my breath, conscious of my presence, and conscious of my thoughts and actions. There's no way I can be tossed around mindlessly like a bottle slapped here and there on the waves.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
When we pay attention, whatever we are doing - whether it be cooking, cleaning, or making love- is transformed and becomes part of our spiritual path. We begin to notice details and textures that we never noticed before; everyday life becomes clearer, sharpers, and at the same time more spacious.
