Thank you to everyone who participated in the Zoom meeting on Wednesday. It was a good start, and will continue to refine the time. I’m considering the idea of having folks email me who want to be in the Zoom meeting and I will reply with the link and password. This will further refine the group, naturally cull attendees to those dedicated rather than someone who just clicks on the link randomly. More ideas and refinements will be integrated to improve flow and comfortability.
This will be an epic Saturday as we will begin our study of “The Way of Zen”, by Alan Watts. This will be an extremely insightful study to elucidate and clarify a compelling subject like Zen. This week we dive into the preface and you won’t believe how helpful the slides will be in explaining Zen statements like, “Above, not a tile to cover the head; Below, not an inch of ground for the foot”, or “Why is a mouse when it spins?”
Watts taught to embrace uncertainty by releasing from securities. Any claimed assurance in an endlessly variating wonder is ludacrus on its face. Alan turns anxiety on its head by claiming uncertainties are in fact a means of liberation. The whole premise of Zen in many ways is the release from anxiety—not by prayers, pleas, or permission, but through perspective, personal experience, and persistence.
We will begin Saturday with some more words from Professor Jaing who explains how a society is captured. The banking patterns and behaviors he shares are the same patterns that captured society in all walks of life. Everything is an illusion on many levels. He puts substance to this theory. *Please note* it was the Phoenicians who came up with the magic money corruption he explains in the video.
Finally, I received some letters this week from folks who were confused with Jaing’s last presentation in regards to reality/illusion and how an ever-collapsing and reforming waveform creates a personalized illusion and you cannot escape this (now you see it, now you don’t). I’ll use the double slit test as a guide to try and clarify the implications of what he shared. Then I will be opening the Zen lecture with a personal testimony that will explain why the book we are about to take on is a risky endeavor, and so fair warning is appropriate before we begin the study.
See you guys Saturday at 4:43pm for the 17 min lecture from Professor Jaing, and then the show begins at the top of the hour at 5pm Pacific Time. Details in slides.
Ps. Don’t let me forget we need to set the start time for the next Zoom meeting, and to share some ideas I have to refine and improve the sessions. Thank you!
