Dan's resonation

[Guest guest]

Dan: The senses are one sense.

There is no inside or outside

until sense differentiates

itself into "layers and directions".

Joyce: Thank you so much for this!!!! All of it - I had gotten into

such a tangle with something so simple.

"The senses are one sense" - for some reason when I read this I wept

and had to go and throw up. Which seems to be continuing. Which is

fine. Can't say much more - no words.

Joyce

Dan: Eventually, such differentiation

proceeds to "become" different senses,

and the different senses "triangulate",

that is interact with each other in ways

that give confirmation to a form of

reality -- including space and dimensionality,

as well as a "body concept".

Through differentiation seeming objects form.

If the original undivided sense is comprehended,

what objects are there, to which "attachment"

or "nonattachment" could be possible stances?

Similarly one cell differentiates, "becomes"

different cells, then forms various connections

as "a body". Yet the original body remains

undifferentiated, the "womb of the tathagatas" ...

Intriguing it is to realize that all senses are

one sense, with no inside or outside -

 

And this primordial undifferentiated sense

is the literal "breathing of the universe".

Nothing "made" this sense, so why try to make

sense of it? ;-)

Various chants, images, and activities refer

to this original sense, which can't be

referred to, as it is all that is ...

The human urge to give form to the formless --

how interesting that we give form to that

which is forming us, in the process

through which we find ourselves giving form ...

Namaste,

Dan
