do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet.
Ch’an (Zen) Buddhist aphorism
Ultimately, in one form or another, we must all answer for our actions
and those that can operate with clean conscience due to the rightness of their actions
will always be better served than those that seek to rationalize their self-serving or otherwise malevolent behavior.
And we all would do well to remember that, when confronting a swordsman,
our own blade must be fast and true and without hesitation, for the
“fluent blade cuts cleanly…”

……limit your interactions wherever possible to avoid those that would employ the ancient strategy of,
“To hold a sword behind the smile.”

...Malachi Martin says is the greatest of all evil....

due to the power of The Smile.

by destructive or antisocial impulses in oneself and others is as valuable today
as it was in the time of Jesus, the master Exorcist.
Just as modern biblical scholars suggest that the demons that Jesus cast out
may have been forms of psychological illness,
so we can see our own inner demons as arising
from forces that we feel are beyond our control.
Shamans, for example, conduct rituals
for the release of negative spirits
from a person’s soul.
To include this among your family of archetypes, however,
you would have to find a life-long pattern or exorcising the negative spirits of others or of social groups or society.
The shadow Exorcist attacks the evil in others
without having the courage to face his own demons.

the moments when you have really lived,
are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.

But it's not about some abstract, infinite number of beings.
It's the attitude that you will relate in a benevolent way to anyone who comes into the field of your attention.

there is contained a singular treasure concealed in the form-mountain--
—the numinous radiance of sentient things.
Utterly empty, still, and difficult to perceive within or without,
it is styled the “mystery of mysteries.”
Its skill reaches out beyond the [celestial palace] of Purple Subtlety,
and its function resides in the very midst of empty nonbeing.
Unmoving among manifold transformations,
it is solitary and nondual.
Its voice brings forth wondrous reverberations;
its form spews forth iridescent displays.
But look as you will, it has no locus;
it is known to us as the emptiness of emptiness.

and dive into the work that needs to be done.
At other times all we have to do is spread our wings and let the winds carry us.
It is connection- to self, others, the world, and the Mystery
that is larger than us all- that guides us in knowing if this is
wing-flapping or effortless gliding
(or often a little of both)
kind of day.

Explore that which can't be returned to.
From which there was no departure.
