Title: POSTMODERN ABORIGINE

I live as simply as I can each day.
Bicycling year-round has been my prayer.
Mindfulness with breathing is my true home.
Every moment is the same new moment.

I believe that the world is perfect in the absolute sense. In the relative, each person may be inspired to take their concept/feeling of separateness and move towards integration in this samsaric existence. No matter what anyone thinks, the Mystery will remain and at the same time there is no Mystery. I believe in the finite evolution of life and that spirituality is based on that evolutiion. Human beings, who have to deal with their own ultimate deaths, have expanded finite consciousness into infinite, intangible and “other than” consciousness. The world/universe is changing itself. We are the universe. Be yourself, unconditonally accept /love yourself as you are each moment. It's easy and not easy. Feel yourself breathe… right here and now :-)

This self-originated Clear Light, which from
the very beginning was never born,
Is the child of Rigpa, which is itself
without any parents - how amazing!
This self-originated wisdom
has not been created by anyone - how amazing!
It has never experienced birth and has nothing
in it that could cause it to die - how amazing!
Although it has wandered through samsara,
no harm has come to it - how amazing!
Although it has seen buddhahood itself,
no good has come to it -how amazing!
Although it exists in everyone everywhere,
it has gone unrecognized - how amazing!
And yet you go one hoping to attain some
other fruit than this elsewhere - how amazing!
Even though it's the thing that is most
essentially yours, you seek for it elsewhere -
How amazing!

Padmasambhava

   When I look upon the work of nature it doesn't work for a dollar and a half
a day; it works for results only.  God's pay for labor and time is truth, and truth
only.  If it takes Him a million years to make a stone as large as a bean, the time and labor are freely given and the work honestly done.  No persuasion whatever will cause that mechanic to swerve from the line of exactness in any case.  Therefore I can trust the principles that I believe are found in the human body.  I find what is necessary for the health, comfort, and happiness of man, the passions, and all else. Nothing is needed but plain, ordinary nourishment.  We find all the machinery, qualities, and principles that the Divine Mind intended should be in man.  Therefore, let me work with that body, from the brain to the foot.  It is all finished work, and is trustworthy in all its parts.
