A lot like what Don Juan called living impeccably. And like " wei wu wei " : the doing of non-doing. Nothing is left behind. No trace. So nothing is left undone. Nonseparately, there is nothing to do, and nothing that is to be done that is not done. It is one thing to hear the concept " manifestation is the child of a barren woman.

What I see him pointing to by saying " it's an orphan " is that " the rest of the manifestation " (not happening now) is in thought only. This " orphans " the present moment, in a sense, in that what is happening now is all there is. > Nothing is left behind. > > No trace. > > > So nothing is left undone. > > > Nonseparately, there is nothing to do, and nothing that is to be done that is not done. > > It is one thing to hear the concept " manifestation is the child of a barren woman.
