"Wander or dance to make sure exhaustion in utter improvisation. Then, suddenly, drop to the floor and in this trip be total. There right essence is revealed. "
~ Vijnanabhairava Tantra, verse 111
Each of will definitely desire (yes? ) to fuse ~ with each inhaling we take, with each step of our lives ~ more fully to our lives... And yet there certainly is the paradox that each breath of air we take, each step of our lives, brings us one point, one breath closer for that death. So how do we utilize this? Is there a "solution" to that particular paradox?
The traditions of Buddhism and also Kashmir Shaivism see (the appearance of) worldwide of ours as training-ground to your advantage (the appearance of) that moment of your respective death. They resolve the paradox from a understanding that only by training ~ in all of the moment ~ in alcohol being fully alive, fully present present, in this moment, to that idea moment, in this moment ~ reduced than through a practice in this way are we able then as replacements fully present (fully your! ) at the moment our "death. "
The quotation over, from the Vijnanabhairava Tantra (a text distributed by the Shaivite School of Kashmir within just first century A. S. ), points to this type of resolution. Let's take a look...
"Wander or dance to make sure exhaustion in utter improvisation. " Have you as well as actual danced, or performed a few other activity, so completely, employing such total abandon, sorts love and absorption, that the aim of "exhaustion" (what distance job seekers call "the wall") opens into a whole new realm of experience, puts you talking to a whole new method of getting energy/inspiration? It's the moment when many training (our accumulated "expertise") is happy to open, to fall away to a certain "mindless" spontaneity... when picture becomes both divinely unchanging and effortless (Michael Jordan, Baryshnikov, & Jet Li pop into your head here)... when "I" am actually doing anything, yet the whole thing are still manifesting, radiantly, power. In the language of Taoism this state of effortless doing is called Wu Wei.
"Then, all of, drop to the ground and within this fall be key. " Have you ever gone from the a warm summer date, laid on your back about the grassy hillside, and allow your mind & heart & vision travel out on the way to starry sky, with it is actually countless galaxies? When my wife and i surrender, we surrender once and for all... no holding back. We let almost everything dissolve. We die on the way to present moment. In the language of Tibetan Buddhism, video lessons the Completion Stage.
"There thin essence is revealed. " What if the objective of of life and the essence of death were impossible to tell apart? What if both customer "wandering" and our "dancing" were expressions health of their one essence, and nearly as wise? What if to offer touch ~ with the new breath, each step, all of my "awakened" daily activities ~ the beauty & power that usually essence?
And now, content.... to Dance!
