Impermanence and Bliss
Impermanence and Bliss:
Here we go again:
Supposedly the Buddha,
said something along the lines of:
"Life is suffering"
la, la
one could quite sweet do the
Byron Katie work on that
to wit:
Judge Your Neighbor/ Reality/ Have a concept-thought.
Write it down.
Ask four questions.
Turn it around.
The 4 Q's???
1. Is it true?
2. Can I absolutely know it's true?
3. How do I react when I believe/ attach to it being true?
4. Who or what would I be without the story/ thought/ concept?
And the turn around.
Is it true
that
"Life is suffering"
Ans: I don't know. Sometimes I suffer. Sometimes I don't.
But "life????"
I don't know, the state of newness, a nice state.
Can I absolutely know that this thought
is true?
No.
How do I react when I attach to the
thought that
"Life is suffering"?
sad, worried, stingy, blaming, feeling sorry,
looking for the grungy lining,
cynical, resigned, gloomy
Who would I be without the
story that
"Life is suffering"
Watching my own life:
when am I suffering,
and where is the thought behind that suffering,
is that necessary.
when am I not suffering,
what is the action/ attention/ organization
behind my
happiness.
Turn around:
Sometimes life is suffering,
and sometimes not.
And impermanence:
this seems to be what is.
And the sweet way of Byron Katie,
or Katie as we call her,
taking on the 100% winning bet
when she goes for loving
What Is.
My relationship is ending.
That's What Is.
That's impermanence.
Can I love that?
Yes.
Wow:how can that be?
Not only easy,
but extremely pleasurably, like, you know, bliss,
coming to this
from a place of joy, clarity
and understanding how big love
really is.
Best to you,
this is right there for you
to find, too.
