Do not seek the truth; only cease to cherish opinion.
-Seng-Ts'an from Hsin-Hsin Ming
Wow! What does that mean and what does it have to do with numbing and mental reconstruction? Well seeking is actually one of the doing activities we may use to numb when we are feeling overwhelmed by emotions. I am a thinking and seeker addict. This gets in the way of me finding what I want.
If I want to understand Truth...truly transcend into truth...I have to stop identifying with and cherishing opinions, ideas, thoughts and stories. I have to stop believing everything I tell myself...and every thought or idea I have.
Does that ring true for you?
All is well
