Title: Finding the Way
Post by: The Master on June 30, 2007, 02:57:14 PM: The Master is in search of disciples to guide on the Way of Illuminating Fire. Those who seek to embrace emptiness may apply here for membership. All are welcome, and none will be accepted.

Post by: Thyatira on July 03, 2007, 01:15:40 PM: As it happens, I find Gryphonnic ways to be uplifting -- owing to the eagle's wings. I find something in everything -- owing to the Gryphon's nest. Away from home, I seek something to sink my lion-like talons and bird-of-prey-like beak into -- rending it utterly and savoring it thoroughly. Thus, while I respect the Way of Emptiness, I must confess myself puzzled by it. I could not wholehearted embrace emptiness, though welcomed to do so. And I hope that "none will be accepted" will also apply to me.

Pupil Thyatira, puzzlement is the beginning of the Way. Through thorough savoring, one may indeed come closer to the secrets of the Way. If one is confused, one may ask questions. One must only expect no answer.

Having read this over (and over), I must confess myself to still be confused. Is there a handbook of Emptiness -- or is it a book with all blank pages?

Post by: B9 perspective on December 14, 2007, 12:21:13 PM: more emptiness, of course, more isn't better

Post by: The Master on December 20, 2007, 06:47:55 AM: More is not always better? The Master believes this to be only denial of largeness.

Post by: B9 perspective on December 20, 2007, 06:55:39 AM: large emptiness, no one's denying largeness...

But we're friends, right?

That is quite hostile for a "master" who is supposedly One with the Way. :(
