“What moves is mind.
Its nature is awareness.
If primordial purity is realized
They are said to be one.
Wisdom is the primordial purity of consciousness.”
From The Vajra Garland
The Lotus Garland
Translated by Yeshe Gyamtso Published by KTD Publications ISBN 0-9741092-6-6
We could use a much, much greater abundance of wisdom. Each of us, if we want to, can deliberately grow wisdom.
“… to do that you have to access the innate capability of the brain, and the tools, the key, to really develop the brain holistically is to experience the holistic reality, the meditative state, so-called spiritual experience, the experience of the unified field at the source of thought.”(my bold)
Quote from What tHe Bleep Do wE (know)!? the book. ISBN 0-7573-0334-x
Shamata Meditation is precisely the experience of the unified field at the source of thought.
Buddhism is a verb. It is the deliberate pursuit of the higher, non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Lama la
Shamata Meditation, a most direct path to all our unrealized potential. Looking… looking…always looking for only the source of thought, Emptiness, the absolute nature of reality.
We have to meditate and reach non-ordinary states of consciousness before we become the creator of our own reality.
Quantum Activist Amit Goswami, Ph.D.
“The New Physics is more mystical than what you’ll hear in any Sunday sermon. Science is on as much of a spiritual journey as we in the monastery.”
Cistercian priest, FR. Thomas Keating, 2006
Space is not empty. People and things are not separate from each other.
One thimbleful of space contains more energy than all the matter in the known universe. (I think this is a quote, but I’ve forgotten who said it.)
This energy soup that’s in the spaces between people and things is called Zero Point Field in quantum physics.
There is no such thing as no thingness. We are in this soup, and we are all connected to everything.
