Are you like the wind in the trees… sure its whining & whistling proves it’s ‘solid’? Examine imaginary existence and non-existence.
Blow in to examine your perception of life, existence, and non-existence.
‘We’ are temporary be-ings blowing through landscapes of beauty and woe.
The storm only ‘appears’ to be unaware of your presence - like the arm does the hand and the branch does the leaf.
Change only happens from ‘state’. All things flow from state. The change from thought or knowledge brings you to a different place, then back again. Change from thought only effects the ‘outside’ you. As your state changes, the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ world ‘change’.
All be-ings travel upon roads that are eventually seen to have receding horizons.
The elements seem slow, the breezes zip around from canyon to beach, saying to one another, “Elements can’t think”. Yet the elements are in their knowing, and thought seldom occurs. All the while wind-knowledge moves nowhere, a stagnation of attached distinctions - no longer ‘necessary’.
From the point of a breeze, the perceived time of an element ‘thinking’ is a very long time indeed. Because the less you think, the more you know. And the more you know, the slower and more inconsequential you appear to the ‘thinking’ beings.
Wrapped up in their breezy egos and unaware of who makes the decisions of their ‘life and death’, the eddies of wind rarely comprehend their state of be-ing.
Here, the ‘elements’ do what they wish. Sentiently they create, which ‘destroys’ much of the breezes. The elements do not fret, nor do they think themselves evil or good, nor are they perceived that way by the infinite number of breezes.
But alas, it’s the elements that make decisions birthing new worlds, countries, cultures… all while obliterating untold populations of breeze ‘lives’.
This my breezy friends, if you understand, is our next larger nature… some of us are to become the new ‘elements’.
