We are all wounding, being wounded, and healing each other constantly. This is the wonder and terror of humanity. Breathe deeply, the universe is now... The universe is born in fire, pulsates, rebounds upon itself, moves on. Birth and death are infinite; birth and death are a dream. The Biblical text states, "by his wounds we are healed". To be shattered is to be born. Jung said that utopians want to return to the womb. The Garden of Eden is a dangerous place. Love wounds and heals. Zen is Ken, meditation is war. William Blake viewed the human being as suffering because we make war physical instead of mental/spiritual. Peace is not to favor unity over disunity, existence over nonexistence, nor to seek nonbeing over being. Qabala speaks of the "breaking of the vessels (spheres)". To be broken is to be opened. To open is to heal. Otto Rank said there are two basic anxieties, anxiety about birth and anxiety about death. These, ultimately, are the same anxiety. The ambivalent stance we take toward our own nature (as if there were a stance to take!). With love, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
