What seems to be new, is but a small bit less ignorance of what is so. If we were to truly use our own words, they would be unintelligible to others. Gibberish. Instead, I use these words, borrowed from what is commonly called the 'English Language", as a symbolic way of sharing thoughts and experiences. Recognizing the representative/illusory nature of this form of expression, I realize whatever I share is not Zen, nor is it other. Today's term to make you squirm, a koan to make you moan: 'Original Suchness' ;) K On 6/1/2012 9:46 PM, Bill! wrote: I second this motion.
