I saw a bead of water waiting in line for its turn to drip. Patiently.

Mind Blinds

Rumi: brother, stand the pain; escape the poison of your impulses; the sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.

Karmic Lineage

Individual life is a karmic unfolding, an unfolding lineage of forms. (Who am I writing this for? For myself. As part of my own unfolding. I am not committed to this language: it's arbitrary. This idea (these ideas) can be phrased a million different ways. Form/phrasing is contextual, thus, irrelevant. But I am committed (if only for now) to the idea behind this form.)

Self-Determinism of Karma

There is no "and" in cause-and-effect. Cause and Effect are one and the same uninterrupted flow of reality. Mind breaks up the flow of this reality into Cause and Effect b/c of its information-processing limitations, essentially, dropping out of the flow of "What Is" to deal with it (by categorizing it). So, when you choose a Cause, you choose an Effect. That's Karma: karma is not fate, karma is self-determinism.

"Symbolism must be eliminated. Once we end symbolism, we are also participating in the demise of cultism and superstition." (Edgar Ridley).
