Jesper

“If we say, 'This is it,' the words create the very split they attempt to point beyond. If we say 'All is One,' it is one too many. If we call it 'nothing,' it seems to deny the undeniable presence of everything. If we assert that 'there is nothing to do,' it seems to overlook the necessity of doing whatever we are moved by life to do. If we assert that 'there is something to do,' it makes it sound as if something else is required in order to be what we already are. The dualistic mind grasps, reifies, asserts, denies and fixates. It takes positions and clings to those positions, mistaking them for reality. It identifies with its positions and feels threatened when they are questioned. But to cling to any conceptual map of reality is to miss the ever-changing actuality of this-here-now.”
― Joan Tollifson, Nothing to Grasp
