Then we seek a path, practice, goal and so on. But the problem is a creation of thought. Without the thoughts, is there a problem!? The concept on which all other troubling concepts is based is the notion of the separate “I”. The one with the problem (the “I”) is the problem itself! Until this is seen, the seeking, suffering and doubts cannot help but go on. How can an illusory character let go of an illusion which is, in fact, itself? - <a href="http://thenaturalstate.org/">John Wheeler</a><br /></blockquote></i>M.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13310971675352307226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684813694075901545.post-35997552064328468442008-08-04T21:14:00.000-04:002008-08-04T21:15:37.197-04:00Duck Pond<a href="http://lightskyland.com/img_permalink.jsp?imageid=525" target="_blank" title="M.C.'s photography page for this image"><img src="http://lightskyland.com/images/525_720.jpg"/></a>M.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13310971675352307226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684813694075901545.post-24392999153434543982008-05-11T19:16:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:17:18.289-04:00Porter's Creek<a href="http://lightskyland.com/img_permalink.jsp?imageid=502" target="_blank" title="M.C.'s photography page for this image"><img src="http://lightskyland.com/images/502_720.jpg"/></a>M.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13310971675352307226noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684813694075901545.post-73459594438238556602008-05-11T19:15:00.001-04:002008-05-11T19:15:57.869-04:00Little River Dogwoods<a href="http://lightskyland.com/img_permalink.jsp?imageid=498" target="_blank" title="M.C.'s photography page for this image"><img src="http://lightskyland.com/images/498_720.jpg"/></a>M.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13310971675352307226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684813694075901545.post-24484236838251822402008-05-11T19:11:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:12:34.750-04:00Tremont Spring Colors<a href="http://lightskyland.com/img_permalink.jsp?imageid=514" target="_blank" title="M.C.'s photography page for this image"><img src="http://lightskyland.com/images/514_720.jpg"/></a>M.C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13310971675352307226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684813694075901545.post-53678966768648568782008-05-11T19:07:00.001-04:002008-05-11T19:09:48.781-04:00You do not create the next thought. . .<i><blockquote><br />If you look closely at thoughts moment by moment, you will see that the thoughts are not generated by a conceptual "I" at all.
