Explanation and mystery, creation and destruction, dream, growth, change, and letting go

***

Beneath every explanation lies a deeper mystery.

Have no effect and you shall be cause.

Demolish to bring forth, create to destroy.

Be that which is effected, and that which is not;

be that which causes effect, and that which does not.

To be One, be both.

Allow effect without prejudice.

There is no time, there is only change.

Thought is dream.

The greatest giving is in receiving; the concavity redeems the convex.

Never own the action and the dis-involvement will happen naturally.

Do not own the defeat nor the progress.

What you think is happening is not actually happening.

There are no centres, only nexus points reflecting the whole.

The last thing to let go of is yourself. Let go man. Let go.

There are things which erode or exude but do not move.

There are things which move but do not grow.

There are things which grow and die,

And there are things which grow and change and do not die.

Be the latter.
