We see through a glass darkly

The real voyage in discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust

Going Against the Grain

The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well?

Verse 50

What good is it to spend your life accumulating
material things?
It isn’t in keeping with the Tao.
What benefit in conforming your behavior to
someone’s conventions?
It violates your nature and dissipates your energy.
Why separate your spiritual life and your
practical life?
To an integral being, there is no such distinction.

Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature,
drawing no line between what is spiritual and what
is not.

Ignore time.

Relinquish ideas and concepts.
Embrace the Oneness.
This is the Integral way.
