As soon as you see something, The unenlightened only see what their preconditioned constituent sentient beings (beliefs, attitudes, opinions, moods, values, etc.) will allow or force them to see and nothing more,

As soon as you intellectualize something, As soon as sentient beings process something, it is no longer what you saw. only the mental results of what sentient beings made up your mind to see will be seen. The Enlightened see, hear, touch, taste, smell, and think immediately without opinionated processing. --- In Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com, "Bill!" wrote: As soon as you see something, you already start to intellectualize it.
