Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (Every once in awhile I need to post this somewhere..) From Scott Morrison. His website open mind open heart now matrixed in the Universe. The following I printed out on 11/30/04. " That's the remarkable thing, isn't it? Enlightenment is ruthlessly intelligent. Peace doesn't get involved in any of the details -- one's historical, moral, religious, spiritual, racial, political, educational or social background and so on. Not one iota. Wisdom cares nothing about these things. Freedom knows only this one eternally present moment. That makes it all very, very simple -- no need to complicate it. With no historical or future entanglements, there is just this one immediate choice: Are you completely willing to be that which you say you love and revere, no matter what the circumstances? No pause, no hesitation, no deliberation. If you say yes and proceed to speak or think or act in a way that contradicts it, then it begs the question, are you serious about this? This simple question, " The way you are living this instant, does it work? " is profoundly useful. If it isn't working, then what will it take? If we are not wisdom, if we are not freedom, if we are not serenity this very instant, then what good is any of this? If we are, then in our very being here, we offer the most precious and joyful gift in the world to everyone around us. Infinitely more than thousands of philosophers or religions, or millions of words. It's that simple. ~Anna Scott Morrison died way too early; I hope some day all his work will be available again on the net. http://www.sentient.org/past/scott-morrison.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
