 167. The 'Way' (The Law) |
The WAY is not a path, or a way to accomplish something.
The WAY is not something you can understand with the intellect, the WAY is the practice of being perfect consciousness, or spirit; it is an experience.
The WAY is the same state of SELF-REALIZATION as the word VIRTUE used by Socrates.
The WAY is not a method, technique or strategy which is the action and activity of the body personality, the ego-I to find its way out of suffering. The WAY is the action or activity of The inner true self to be free of any attachment by becoming PRIOR to the body-brain and thoughts.
The WAY is the "PRACTICE," (but not a method or strategy) for the inner SELF to RESURRECT itself in order to experience the miracle of life FROM the body, but not AS the body.
The WAY is also called: Nirvana, Satori, Tao, Virtue, Form of the Good, Samadhi, Kingdom of God, Heaven, Self Realization, At-Onement, etc., etc.
The practice of MEDITATION is the practice of the WAY.
The WAY also means the same as RIGHT MINDED as taught by the Buddha.
The WAY is the SPIRITUAL WAY, and not the way of the animal body personality, i.e., the ego-I state of mind.
The WAY is not seeking, only the ego-I seeks.
The WAY is the practice of being PERFECT no matter how imperfect one's spiritual development is.
The WAY does not belong to any religion or spiritual school. How can the divine state of SPIRITUAL SELF-REALIZATION belong to any-thing?
The practice of the WAY or MEDITATION is the gradual uncovering of the inner self, and the process of unlearning the concepts formed by the physical body-brain, a self programming bio-computer.
It is important to follow the central spiritual course without being misled by the monotheism (from Judaism), Karma and reincarnation (from India), the doctrine of emptiness (from Buddhism), the I-Ching (from Fu Shim). The naturalness of life (from Chuang Tzu), or by intellectual scrutiny and logic (from the west). All of these need to be reviewed in order to find their essence. THE WAY is all encompassing. Be forgiving, like Jesus. Be brave, like Mohammed. Be detached like Sakyamuni. Be balanced, like Fu Shi. Be gentle and decisive, like Lao Tzu. Be non-partial like THE WAY. If we become partial to only one of them, we will be incomplete and unnatural beings.
