‘We have to peel off layer after layer of self-conscious awareness–not try to become something we perceive as over there, outside ourselves. When we no longer divide everything we see into “seer” and “seen” but go to the root of oneness, we realize that the five senses are not separated; they are all one total perception. As we gather our senses into this oneness, the flower and the person who sees the flower are naturally one. We are blooming. Hearing the insect, we become the insect. We can see each thing perfectly, and we realize that so far as we are free from delusive ideas we have nothing but purity in our nature, for it is the delusive ideas that obscure suchness.’ (Not One Single Thing)
We end up in the same place as yesterday, I believe. Better get used to it.
