Freyah

Thank you @Leo Gura But..darn... must the The Truth be massive, vast, paradoxical, freaky, and so multi-dimensional....?!! I'm tired of looking for it....Can't it just be that pile of mess on the kitchen bench I'm about to clean up, and my kids sitting the breakfast table....? I have a feeling if I keep this relentless searching I might miss the beauty of it all...

@Nahm not sure what you mean... but anyway, I'm happy with the answer I've received:)

Thank you @Preetom wonderful! And @Amanaki for your replies. @Preetom please can you tell me about your 'moment of truth'....Do you mind saying? What flipped things over? How long did you look for, until that moment?

@Alexandar Edwards this is worth a look. I learned from this just recently. It's been posted somewhere else on the forum already, but yup, "The Work" is probably worth doing.... What do you think?

@Leo Gura Can you explain how Zen monasticism is blue? I thought most of the western folks ending up there would have seen through materialism and be looking for something deeper in their lives. I guess I'm thinking of people that have become dissolutioned with their materialistic orange based societies and seeing that consumerism doesn't make them happy. Are they not training have love and acceptance of all, and being more tolerant of all others, and ultimately progress up the spiral??
