Ode to Change of Essence

Try saying this
In all things know that
I AM THE UNIVERSE
In all things know that
I AM NOT THE UNIVERSE
But it is also useless to be half in the world
and half out of it. Let yourself and the All combine together
So in the moment be completely mindful, and in the spaces between mindfulness be vacuous and achieve No Mind as Weapon and Silence as your Fortress.
Through this one may even transcend Karma.

Very thought provoking, my friend. It kind of resonates on the level of this quote: “using no way as a way, using no limitations as a limitation.”
Bruce Lee
At any rate, I find myself enjoying the things you post more and more. You have always possessed good insight. I look forward to watching it develop as you go forward.

I'm thinking "Through this one may even transcend Karma" isn't as good as "through this one may avoid the misfortune of their actions." Thoughts?

Transcending karma works better, though there isn't (as far as I'm aware) a word which would actually describe it accurately. Liberation from the chains of karma perhaps, but that doesn't quite cover it either. But avoiding the misfortune of ones actions implies things I don't think are either true or you wish to convey.

True, but I'm not trying to promote some religionist karma philosophy. If possible, I would live/teach a way to do anything to "break one's chains" or give them more options and freedom. Call it whatever you want. I'm not advocating being responsible or being reckless.
