Bill,
Roger that.
For those who understand Action-and-Re-Action in Physics/Mechanics, it is funny
to us when people (used to) ask how a rocket could possibly work in a vacuum,
"When there is nothing to push against."
They were thinking of propeller-planes, and didn't yet have a feeling for
action-reaction of jets, nor rockets.
Well, developing the desire to Awaken sometimes takes "something to push
against" (it's called developing the Bodhi-Mind, I think).
You've got to be DIS-satisfied with something, to look elsewhere.
I thank my lucky stars to have been so well-raised Catholic!
Lutheranism is so similar!, at least on Sundays. ;-)
Greetings, Brother,
--Joe
