Things are the way they are
because we think they’re that way.

Good or bad,
acceptable or unacceptable,
they conform to the way we see them.
Originally, in themselves,
all things are good and acceptable.

That is why all things—a blade
 of grass or a hundred-foot pine,
a leper or a legendary beauty,
a national hero or a traitor---
are equal in the Tao.
None is more important
or more valued than any others.
Their difference is their completeness.
Picture
Only the person of true vision
can recognize them as equal.
Picture
He sees past his own judgments,
doesn’t think more or less,
and accepts without even trying to.
Picture

This is called “honoring the Tao.”

COMMENTARY

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”
This one liberating truth can be said in a hundred ways.
 Each goes to the root of the matter.
Picture
 What happens when we realize that the world appears according to our perception of it? 
For one thing, we don’t take our judgments so seriously. 
The judging I begins to unravel.
Picture
Eventually, we discover that everything exists in itself,
beyond comparison, beyond judgments,
as it did for God on the evening of the sixth day:
 
“Behold, it is very good.
Picture
When we look at creatures from this point of vision,
it’s easy to see that a blade of grass is as important as a pine tree,
a minnow as valued as a whale. 
Size and complexity have nothing to do with it. 
Evolution doesn’t mean progress. 
Which is more conscious,
the butterfly or the flowers?
Picture
The Master sees that we’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve been given. 
Realizing this, he doesn’t expect anything of anyone. 
Thus as he  honors himself,
he naturally honors the Tao.

Whereas awareness is the eternal potential
Consciousness is the eternal actual. 


Consciousness is the surface;
Awareness is the limitless ocean.


Consciousness is the guide for the journey
Through the known and into The unknown. 


In truth, they are not two, but
Aspects of a unified whole.

Below are a few samples:



The Secret

Since I am
Somebody's dream,
I have a good life.

Sometimes I go away in my sailboat on a cloud
and take a quiet little trip.

I have a secret
which I have learned how to read inside myself;
if I told it to you,
it would make you laugh.

My heart is naked
and no one can put clothes on it,
and nothing can be put on
that will not immediately fall off.

My secret is ignorant,
it doesn't sing songs,
no lie,
it has nothing to tell you.

My two eyes
are maps of the planet -
I see everything
and nothing upsets me.

Just now
I was in China
and saw there a great piece of happiness
that belonged to one man.

And I have been to the center of the earth,
where there is no suffering.

If on your loneliest nights,
I visit other planets
and the most secret stars of all,

besides being no one,
know that I am you
and everybody.

But if I go away
without giving you a name to remember me with,
how will I find
the right dream to return to?

You won't have to mark down
on your calendar that I am coming back;
don't bother to write me into your notebooks.
I will be around
when you aren't thinking about me,

without hair or a neck,
without a nose and cheeks
no reputation -
there won't be anything.

I am a bird
which God made.


–Thomas Merton
