"Total Transparency - What You See Is What You Get" Sunrise/Afternoon June 17, 2015

6/17/2015

Without stirring abroad,
one can know the whole world;

Without looking out of the window
one can see the way of heaven.

The further one goes the less one knows.
–Lao Tzu

The ancient Masters
didn’t worry about the future,
and didn’t regret the past.

When they made a mistake,
they corrected it and moved on;
when they achieved something
they didn’t stop to take credit.

They scaled the heights, never dizzy;
plumbed the depths, unafraid.

Wherever they went in the world,
they were at home.

They realized that the less they knew,
the more they understood.
Thus they embodied the Tao.

COMMENTARY

How clearly the Master lived, how close to the bone!
It’s total transparency; what you see is what you get.
Since she understands that alternative pasts are only thoughts,
she knows that ultimately there are no mistakes in the universe.

What happened is what should have happened, there’s no other possibility.
This insight allows her to confront her own mistakes
as soon as they’re pointed out.
Because they’re not personal,
she can take full responsibility,
correct them,
and move on.
There’s no mental residue:
no muss, no fuss.

Nor does she stop to take credit for her achievements.
Taking credit would never even occur to her.
As if the achievement weren’t its own reward.
As if, in the freedom of not-knowing,
anything were required but the next step.

As you simplify your mind,
you will see how simple life is.
As you learn not knowing,
your heart will find its way home.

Logan - First born son of Jerry and Brandy

Content as a suckling infant,
mindless as a newborn calf,
you will no longer exhaust yourself
looking for impossible answers
and wandering in search of Why?

You will come to rest in the Tao,
happy with what life brings you.

Commentary
re: Second Book of Tao quote above

Given a choice between being Einstein and being a newborn calf,
most people would choose the former.
But this chapter is not about stupidity versus intelligence.
There’s a great deal of intelligence in the mindlessness of a newborn calf,
which is further along in its self-reliance than a newborn baby,
even a baby Einstein.
The calf, in fact knows everything it needs to know.
All the important questions are answered for it, forever.

“Simplify, simplify,” our friend Thoreau said.
He could simply have said “Simplify” since a word to the wise is sufficient.
But for our unwisdom, he raised the decibel level.
He may even have had to shout at Einstein, who was a master of simplicity, thought not of simplifying his own life.
All honor to him, and yet he would have given his eyeteeth
to understand the mind of God,
which every newborn calf or suckling infant can manage.

A Theory of Everything?
What is is.
How simple can it get?

Luminosity's POOF! + "don't-know mind hearing" Sunrise/Afternoon June 15, 2015

6/15/2015

Without the concept of an other,
there is no separate I.
Without the sense of an I,
nothing can be seen as other.
There is some power that determines things,
but I don’t know what it is.
It has no form or substance,
acts without doing,
keeps the whole universe in order,
and seems to get along
perfectly well without me.

The Second Book of The Tao
Compiled and adapted from the
Chuang-tze and the Chung Yung,
with commentaries
by
Stephen Mitchell
#29 - p.58

In the mind’s spectrum of awareness, solipsism and paranoia
are located at about the same point.
There’s not much difference between an inflated I and an inflated other.
Wisdom means no separation.
It’s easy to keep things at a distance; it’s hard to be naturally beyond them.
The more intimate you are with yourself,
the less anyone can be an others.

The power than determines things isn’t me,
but it isn’t anything else.
Realizing this is freedom.
It has nothing to do with the credos of religion,
those hundred-piece oom-pa-pa bands
meant fo drown out the sound of doubt.
What keeps the whole universe in order
speaks with the still small voice of silence.
Only the don’t-know mind can hear it.

You have heard of flying with wings,
but can you fly without wings?

You have heard of the knowledge that knows,
but can you practice
the knowledge that doesn’t know?

Consider a window: it is just
a hole in the wall, but because of it
the whole room is filled with light.

Thus, when the mind is open
and free of its own thoughts,
life unfolds effortlessly,
and the whole world is filled with light.

The Second Book of The Tao
Compiled and adapted from the Chuang-tze and the Chung Yung,
with commentaries
by
Stephen Mitchell
p. 32

Wisdom is not a something, to grasp or to have.
When you discover the extent of your own ignorance, it’s like a revelation.

“You mean that nothing I believe is true?”
Suddenly a window appears in the hermetic chamber.
A little openness becomes available.
A little humility.

Eventually you realize
that there’s nowhere the light doesn’t penetrate,
nowhere the non-wings can’t fly.

Stephen Mitchell Commentary
The Second Book of The Tao
p. 33

This frog jumped seemingly out of nowhere onto camera bag as i was rinsing feet at the hydrant. He then jumped up to my shoulder and sat for the longest....with head turned towards the heavens the whole time........then onto the pole near my window.
Perhaps this is one that i rescued when it was a tadpole?
He certainly seemed to know me.

Backward Eyes-Pure Space-Timeless Stillness Sunrise/Afternoon June 12, 2015

6/12/2015

With all its eyes the natural world looks out into the Open.
Only our eyes are turned backward,
surrounding plant, animal, child like traps,
as they emerge into their freedom.

We know what is really out there
only from the animal's gaze;
for we take the very young child and force it around,
so that it sees objects - not the Open,
which is so deep in animals' faces.
Free from death.

We, only, can see death;
the free animal has its decline in back of it, forever,
and God in front,
and when it moves,
it moves already in eternity, like a fountain.

. Never, not for a single day,
do we have before us that pure space into which
flowers endlessly open.
Always there is World and never Nowhere without the No:
that pure unseparated element which one breathes without desire
and endlessly knows.

A child may wander there for hours,
through the timeless stillness,
may get lost in it and be shaken back.
Or someone dies and is it.

For, nearing death,
one doesn't see death;
but stares beyond,
perhaps with an animal's vast gaze.

Lovers,
if the beloved were not there blocking the view,
are close to it, and marvel...
As if by some mistake, it opens for them behind each other...
But neither can move past the other,
and it changes back to World.

Forever turned toward objects,
we see in them the mere reflection of the realm of freedom,
which we have dimmed.
Or when some animal mutely, serenely,
looks us through and through.

That is what fate means: to be opposite,
to be opposite and nothing else, forever.

–Rainer Maria Rilke

FLIGHT LESSONS
Today we got IN the ocean.....only in the shallow tides as breakers very strong.
Remembering a few days ago, that Big Bird swooped over me AFTER i was in the water with the seaweed...

....today, i wondered if she would do the same.
...and SURE ENOUGH,
1) she came within 10 ft of my head AFTER i got out of the water.
About 20 minutes later, we suddenly knew to honour her appearance with practicing my own Winged Flight at water's edge...afterwards,.i rested flat on my back with eyes closed...
2) a shadow came to my inner closed eyes...and with quickly opened eyes i saw her flying above me, then towards the oceanfront homes on the dunes.
She had returned again! Seemingly out of nowhere...
3) After a quick nap, i strolled back to the north....smiling and infused with the appearance of the bird today.....re-remembering how the bird appeared before when i was IN the water..... the sun is very bright....a shadow comes across my form...look up.... it is Big Bird circling between me and the sun...circling and gliding for about 30 seconds before she flew south...

.......man postpones or remembers;
he does not live in the present, but with
reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of
the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe
to foresee the future.
He cannot be happy and strong until he too
lives with nature in the present, above time.

–Ralph Waldo Emerson
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/06/there-is-simply-rose.html

I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
With whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth; I was
Reared in the lap of Summer and I
Slept in the bed of Autumn.
At dawn I unite with the breeze
To announce the coming of light;

At eventide I join the birds
In bidding the light farewell. The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
Is scented with my fragrance. As I embrace Slumber the eyes of
Night watch over me, and as I
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is
The only eye of the day.

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to
The voices of the birds, and dance
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.
I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;

I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
But I look up high to see only the light,
And never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn.

—Kahlil Gibran
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/06/song-of-flower.html

These roses under my window make no
reference to former roses or to better ones;
they are for what they are;
they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them.
There is simply the rose; it is perfect in
every moment of its existence.

Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts;
in the full-blown flower, there is no more;
in the leafless root, there is no less.
Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature,
in all moments alike.
There is no time to it.

But man postpones or remembers;
he does not live in the present, but with
reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of
the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe
to foresee the future.

He cannot be happy and strong until he too
lives with nature in the present, above time.

"blessed are those who know nothing for certain" Sunrise/Afternoon June 10, 2015

6/10/2015

blessed are those who know nothing for certain,
whose curiosity keeps them beyond the claws of conclusion,
who seek as an impulse of wonderment rather than for gain,
who question everything the pundits proclaim as truth;

whose questions deliver them, willingly or not,
to the fiery face of the Unnameable, and
who find the courage to keep a “yes” alive in spite of terror;
who come back speechless and trembling with gratitude

blessed are those for whom the encounter enlivens a capacity
and a willingness to hold both hands out to the world
(one to hold grief, the other, gratefulness)
for their heart knows the two as one;

who, without choice, stand naked in knowingness;
whose fulfilment is refreshed with every breath;
who are quietly content (which is not to say inert or passive)
in spite of all that life appears to heave at them

Below: Left Click to see enlarged photos

blessed are those who know these contented ones,
who count them among their friends and neighbours,
who seek them out for their simple wisdom, knowing
they have nothing to spin or sell – nothing to bestow
other than their crazy head-shaking heart-healing joy:

Though the Tao is the realest of the real,
it has no form or substance.
It can be pointed to but not seen,
embodied but not achieved.

It is its own source, its own root.

It is above all things, yet it isn’t lofty;
beneath all things, yet it isn’t low.

It existed before existence,
began before time began,
and gave birth to birth and death.

Thus the Master isn’t fooled
by appearances. S/he honours
the genuine, wherever it appears.

her longing

Before this longing,
I lived serene as a fish
At one with the plants in the pond,
The mare's tail, the floating frogbite,
Among my eight-legged friends,
Open like a pool, a lesser parsnip,
Like a leech, looping myself along,
A bug-eyed edible one,
A mouth like a stickleback,-
A thing quiescent!

But now-
The wild stream, the sea itself cannot contain me:
I dive with the black hag, the cormorant,
Or walk the pebbly shore with the humpbacked heron,
Shaking out my catch in the morning sunlight,
Or rise with the gar-eagle, the great-winged condor,
Floating over the mountains,
Pitting my breast against the rushing air,
A phoenix, sure of my body,
Perpetually rising out of myself,
My wings hovering over the shorebirds,
Or beating against the black clouds of the storm,
Protecting the sea-cliffs.

–Theodore Roethke

On the road returning from sunrise, as we took photo of this wild flower,

was suddenly swooping up and down around my head!
We walked on to find Mr. Guru Rooster and his Golden Hen

Below: The Songing Bird who is usually songing from morning to evening in the evergreen tree, was songing at top of its voice below....reminding that if you have a Song, it can be sung even when surrounded by man-made techno.....

A spirit that lives in this world
and does not wear the shirt of love,
such an existence is a deep disgrace.
Be foolishly in love,
because love is all there is.

There is no way into presence
except through a love exchange.
If someone asks, But what is love?
answer, Dissolving the will.

True freedom comes to those
who have escaped the questions
of freewill and fate.
Love is an emperor.
The two worlds play across him.
He barely notices their tumbling game.

Love and lover live in eternity.
Other desires are substitutes
for that way of being
. How long do you lay embracing a corpse?
Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.

Anything born in spring dies in the fall,
but love is not seasonal.
With wine pressed from grapes,
expect a hangover.
But this love path has no expectations.

You are uneasy riding the body?
Dismount. Travel lighter.
Wings will be given.
Be clear like a mirror
reflecting nothing.

Be clean of pictures and the worry
that comes with images.
Gaze into what is not ashamed
or afraid of any truth.
Contain all human faces in your own
without any judgment of them.

Be pure emptiness.
What is inside that? you ask.
Silence is all I can say.
Lovers have some secrets
That they keep.

grace approaching

There is a grace approaching
that we shun as much as death,
it is the completion of our birth.

It does not come in time,
but in timelessness
when the mind sinks into the heart
and we remember.

It is an insistent grace
that draws us to the edge
and beckons us surrender
safe territory and enter our enormity.

We know we must pass
beyond knowing and fear the shedding.

But we are pulled upward none-the-less
through forgotten ghosts and unexpected angels, luminous.

And there is nothing left to say
but we are That.

And that is what we sing about.

“Really important meetings are planned by the souls
long before the bodies see each other.

Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit,
when we need to die and be reborn emotionally.

These meetings are waiting for us,
but more often than not, we avoid them happening.

If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose,
or if we are full of enthusiasm for life,
then the unknown reveals itself,
and our universe changes direction.”

Since there is no place large enough
To contain so much happiness,
You shrug, you raise your hands

Into everything you touch.

For the moon, but continues to hold it,
and to share it,
And in that way, be known.

but to be perfectly placed –
in choiceless awareness
– to act in the instant.)

give up the habit of pretending to be an unawakened ‘me’.
It’s entirely dishonest.

Repeat – fail to follow.
The lifemap wearing one’s name is unique –

Just as the difference between the space in a pot and the space outside it disappears when the pot is demolished,
so also does duality disappear when it is realized
that the difference between
the individual consciousness and the Universal Consciousness
does not in fact exist.

It is not the work that hinders (peace)
but the idea that it is you who are doing it.
—Sri Ramana Maharshi

Are we not at peace in the interval
when one thought ceases and another does not yet arise?
–Ramana Maharshi

One does not experience suffering - one suffers an experience.
One who is aware of his true identity does not, and cannot suffer.

Everything has its place in the world as well as in our daily routine.
Devotion and reverence are all right, for example,
so long as one recognizes them for what they are - affectivity -
and to that extent a form of bondage.
But when one sees something for what it Is,
it then loses its force and cannot effect any further bondage.

Those who don't feel this
Love pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink
dawn like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,

let them sleep

This Love is beyond the study of theology,

If you want to improve your mind that way,

sleep on.

If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words around you,

The Tao of Transparency - Another Ouroboros Milestone "Primal Lucidity" Sunrise/Afternoon May 28, 2015

5/28/2015

On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the world is full of beauty ...

Today is such a day.
–Rumi

Living is the reaction to stimuli, to
People, events, and thoughts.
To examine the reactor is to
Inquire deeply into
The root of being.

That which contains the mind
Cannot be known
Via the mind.

In pristine silence,
This primal lucidity makes itself known.

Wu Hsin
http://www.happycow.org.uk/inspiration/quotes_wu_hsin_random.shtml

The power of the will alone cannot
Bring one to the goal.
Only the One Who
Brought you to here can
Take you to there.

Being a person is
Only an idea.
It serves to mask
The underlying essence
In the same way that
Clouds obscure the sun.

When this idea is seen through,
What remains is brilliance itself.

Wu Hsin
http://www.happycow.org.uk/inspiration/quotes_wu_hsin_random.shtml

Oh soul, you worry too much.

You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.

Of anything less,
why do you worry?

You are in truth
the soul, of the soul,
of the soul.

A happy and sanguine attitude is what you need if you are to extricate yourself from a troublesome situation.

This journey involves a transformation of our being
so that our thinking mind becomes our servant rather than our master.
It’s a journey that takes us from primary identification with our psyche
to identification with our souls,
then to identification with God,
and ultimately beyond any identification at all.

Life is an incredible curriculum in which we live richly and passionately
as a way of awakening to the deepest truths of our being.
As a soul, I have only one motive:
to merge with God.
As a soul, I live in the moment,
in each rich and precious moment,
and I am filled with contentment…..

When we begin to see that black mud and white snow
are neither ugly nor beautiful,
when we can see them
without discrimination or duality,
then we begin to grasp Great Compassion.

In the eyes of Great Compassion,
there is neither left nor right,
friend nor enemy,
close nor far.

Don’t think that Great Compassion is lifeless.
The energy of Great Compassion
is radiant and wondrous.
In the eyes of Great Compassion,
there is no separation between subject and object,
no separate self.
Nothing that can disturb Great Compassion.

The Tao of Onliness:
An I Ching Cosmology--the Awakening Years
Martin Treon

The Heart of Lao Tse was filled with the Great Transparent Calm.
He listened to this Calm since the Great Silence
became filled with the words of Tao and Te* when necessary.

In this way Lao Tse was learning Wisdom about the meaning of human life
and about the laws according to which people
can live without destroying
the harmony of the terrestrial and the Heavenly,
as well as about the steps of the stairway
that lead “from the earth — to the Heaven”,
that is, to the Divine, to the Primordial.

He listened about the Great Love,
under the Guidance of Which the interaction of yin and yang takes place,
about how Tao loves every being,
about how Te nurses and nurtures all souls,
about how to cognize Tao and how the person should live
who wants to know all this on one’s own experience
and achieve the Supreme Ultimate:
the state, in which there is only the Primordial Ocean
That creates everything
and includes entirely in Itself everyone who reaches It.

This Living Ocean of the Subtlest Primordial Consciousness — is Tao.

** Tao in Chinese is the Primordial Consciousness (the synonyms of this word are the Creator, God-the-Father, Ish-vara, Allah).
Te is the Holy Spirit (or Brahman). (See Tao Te Ching, under the editorship of Vladimir Antonov).

In the point of rest at the center of our being,

all things are at rest in the same way.

Then a tree becomes a mystery,
a cloud a revelation,
each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses.

Sunrise 12/14/14

I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.

Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.

Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually,
without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.

–Rainer Maria Rilke,
Letters To A Young Poet
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/questions.html

Discard all you are not and go ever deeper.

Just as a man digging a well discards what is not water ... so must you discard what is not your own,
till nothing is left which you can disown.
You will find that what is left is nothing which the mind can hook on to.

You are not even a human being.

You just are - a point of awareness,
co-extensive with time and space and beyond both,
the ultimate cause, itself uncaused.

If you ask me “Who are you?”,
my answer would be:
“Nothing in particular. Yet, I am.”

–Nisargadatta Maharaj

"A Sublime, Formless Radiance" Sunrise/Afternoon May 25, 2015

5/25/2015

Through all my wanderings in this world,
Through the lustfulness of youth,
And the ambition of middle age,
I held, among my other desires,
The desire for...

A fairy tale.

A Dream of Heaven, of Love unconditioned,
A Dream of Ecstasy, not of the body,
A Dream of Peace, beyond imagining,
A Dream in which inherent suffering,
Was no longer.

A fairy tale.

Born empirically minded, yet full of Longing,
I would have none of faith or belief,
In things unprovable, and likely imagined,
Of impossible dreams born of the suffering,
Of simply being incarnate.

Fairy tales.

And so one day, seeking and end to Suffering,
I turned within, to the Unbearable Longing,
For what I knew I must have been,
Before ever I learned a word,
Before ever I knew what "i" was.

A fairy tale.

So many words I had read,
So many teachings of so many paths,
So disheartening, all, in the course of time.
Of the “Truth” they held forth, and the Ways to it,
My weary Heart would have no more...

Of fairy tales.

Within… Within… Within...
Past words, concepts, and images,
Of myself and the world,
And all that the senses presented,
Presented to... what?

A fairy tale.

There, beyond within and without,
Through Unimaginable Grace,
"i" Vanished, and all creation with me,
And that which Is before all that arises,
Was what I was, without myself...

The fairy tale no longer.

The Love, Ecstasy, and Peace I sought… I was.
That dream of Sufferings end… I was.
My Heart’s Desire… I was.
All of this… I was…
When I was not.

Heaven, found to be True.

This is not my tale of Grace alone,
But each of ours, who ache with Longing,
Along this Path of Love and Surrender,
Loving that… for which no words exist,
And which disheartening experience deems…

A fairy tale.

Within...
Within...
Within, Dear Heart...
To the Feeling of yourself,
Before the Feeling of your self…

The Heart’s Desire… Fulfilled.

Jerry/brandy's first born photo from May 2015

And when the world reappears,
The Light of Heaven, your Own Pure Light,
Will Shine as it Shines already,
Within your Longing Heart,
Into this world of ever-changing Duality…

This… fairy tale.

You will exist in Fullness,
In the world of Fullness and Emptiness,
You will exist in Bliss,
In the world of Ecstasy and Agony,
You will exist, a Sublime Formless Radiance...

A fairy tale come true.

I did not want to be anything more.
I was entirely happy.

Perhaps we feel like that when we die
and become a part of something entire,
whether it is sun and air,
or goodness and knowledge.

At any rate, that is happiness;
to be dissolved into something complete and great.

When it comes to one,
it comes as naturally as sleep.

The purpose of spiritual paths is to enmesh you in the world of knowledge,

our consummation flowering

My groom is the keeper of nothingness:

And so, tonight

I drink my wine and dance

The Self is like a powerful magnet within us.
It draws us gradually to itself, though we imagine we are going to It of our own accord:
when we are near enough, It puts an end to our activities, makes us still,
and then swallows up our personal current, thus killing our wrong personality.
It overwhelms the intellect and over floods the whole being.

We think we are meditating upon It and developing towards It,
whereas the truth is that we are iron filings and It is the Atman-magnet
that is pulling us towards Itself.
Thus the process of finding the Self
is a form of Divine magnetism.
–Sri Ramana Maharshi
http://peacefullpresence.blogspot.com/2015/05/divine-magnetism.html

Just be the Self. The ultimate truth is so simple;
it is nothing more than being in one’s natural, original state.

It is a great wonder that to teach such a simple truth
a number of religions should be necessary,
and so many disputes should go on between them
as to which is the God-ordained teaching.

What a pity!
Just be the Self, that is all.

Your spirit needs to follow the changes happening

Rumi

All day I think about it, then at night I say it.
Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.
Rumi

I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
Rumi

Lovers of Truth- rise up!
Let us go toward heaven.
We have seen enough of this world,
It's time to see another…

No, no- don't stop here.
The gardens may flow with beauty
But let us go to the Gardner Himself.

Let us go,
Bowing to the ocean
like a raging torrent.

Let us go,
Riding upon the foaming waters
of the sea.

Let us travel from this desert of
Hunger and tears
To the feast of the newlyweds.

Let us change our expression
From one of saffron
To the blossoms of the Judas tree.

Our hearts beat fast
We tremble like leaves about to fall.
Let us become the immovable mountain.

There is no escape from pain for one in exile;
There is no escape from dust
For one who lives in a dustbowl.
Let us be like the birds of paradise,
That fly about drinking sweet water.

We are surrounded by the forms
of a formless creator.
Enough with these forms!
Let us go to the Formless One.

Love is our steady guide
On this road full of hardships.
Even if the king offers you his protection,
It is better to travel with the caravan.

We are the rain that falls upon
a leaky roof-
let us miss the holes
and fall smoothly down the spout.

We are crooked bows
With strings that run from our head to toes;
Soon we will be straight
like an arrow in flight.
We run like mice when we see a cat -
yet we are the lion's roar.
Let us become that Lion.

Let our souls
mirror the love of our Master.
Let us go before Him
With a handful of gifts.

Now let us be silent
So that the Giver of Speech may speak.
Let us be silent
So we can hear Him calling us
Secretly in the night….

We are surrounded by the forms
Of a formless Creator.
Enough with these forms!
Let us go to the Formless One!

He is just a "vehicle."
