“A human being
has so many skins inside,
covering the depths of the
heart.
We know so many things,
but we don't know ourselves!
Why, thirty
or forty skins or hides,
as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's,
cover
the soul.
Go into your own ground
and learn
to know yourself there.”
~ Meister Eckhart

individuate,
we learn to remain open
we learn to remain open
to the nature of uncertainty in the
journey,
allowing ourselves to fearlessly unfold.
allowing ourselves to fearlessly unfold.
At the same time,
our active participation in the process
our active participation in the process
functions as a kind of dialogue
between the ego and our Buddha-nature.
between the ego and our Buddha-nature.
We still pay the bills, do the
washing up,
and take the kids to school."
