Then: thing, thought and worry.

Now: no-thing, no-thought, no-worry

Between then and now:
see the goal, hold it in mind, work towards it.
Then, of itself, effort ceases and the journey ends.

Then there was like and dislike, friend and foe.
Now there is no argument or contention.

"When the mind has changed you may do as you please."

It is said:

"The angels simply live, getting what they give, not brash enough to have an understanding."

The goal is:

• to know yourself;
• to know the illusory nature of common sense;
• to know the source of perception, thought and feeling;
• to know the limitation of words;
• to know the impermanence of created things;
• to know the process of creation/destruction;
• to know the futility of knowing

The road to the goal involves:

• watching the creation of self;
• noting the origin of thought;
• letting thought go.

"When walking walk, when sitting sit."

unchanging Change.

Thoughts flow like a waterfall;
some fly out and involve you.
Notice this.
Throw them back.

The waterfall is background noise;
ignore it.

Deep in the jungle is a still clearing
with no earth, sky or horizon.
No edges or limitations on the changed mind.
Beyond the power of words; inconceivable, unspeakable.

The unchanging Oneness is the source of ten thousand no-things.
doubtless Doubt.
unchanging Change.
