Subject: Re: [MD] chasing ghosts
> SA previously: What are ghosts to you?
Marsha:
Something conceived in the mind; a concept, plan,
design, idea, or thought.
SA: ok.
I see them in our practices. They are flesh
and blood, too.
Flesh and blood are ghosts. But a ghost still holds some power.
> SA previously: You bring up "Certainly not in the
> Prasangika-Madhyamaka tradition." Why not?
Marsha:
"With one voice all the Mahayana masters proclaim
that analysis of objects,
and not mere withdrawal of the mind from them, is
the path to liberation.
One must analyze well whether the inherent existence
of phenomena, as it is
conceived by the innate non-analytical intellect,
exists or not. Through
reasoning and scriptural citation one must ascertain
that objects do not
exist as conceived and penetratingly understand the
falseness of inherent
existence. It is very important to analyze again
and again with
discriminating wisdom." (Hopkins, Jeffrey,
Meditation on
Emptiness,Introduction)
SA: And this is your inkblot.
Liked my word, did you? I thought it very appropriate. Life is an
interesting Rorschach Test.
Marsha:
In choosing you choose.
There's a small, fearless, red fox that has been
visiting Bebe and I. It
makes me smile, and Bebe bark.
SA: Has that been what all the barking was about?
Maybe. Yes, it just might be what has caused all the mysterious barking.
(You've got a good memory.) It's adorable. I do love wild things.
spirit,
ghost,
the understanding of 'legend' helps hint to these too,
without the glory part that chats about pride that may
be inflated,
yet, the holding on of these patterns are not only
heritage,
not only culture, not only geographic, but the knives
carving wood in art, yes, something to do with karma
and incarnations, idea, yes, they can live on,
motivations and energies intending where and how we
will live, choice, yes, choice is here, yours and
everybody else's its' a collage, many voices to choice
from, merge, and be original,
SA
I hope Ron is doing okay.
