Excursus : Within the Realm of Enlightenment

A Sacred Forest

The moment that you quit your Zen practice was the moment when you truly began your Zen practice. It took quite a while for you to get around to it, I know it must seem. But then, all things come into fruition in their own time. And yours is now. You cannot accept or reject the truth, for you are already in its center of actualization.

Now that you have realized that there is nothing to gain, as well as nothing to lose, the inner truth that consumes your presence has, at last, found the awareness of its thusness that you have so long sought.

If you choose now to call it Bobo (or Frankenstein for that matter), it really makes no difference to anyone else. With your awareness, this knowing remains present. Just as it already dwells in the now of which it is becoming.

The truth is that since you never left the “primal state”, you had to learn to let go of searching for it to notice its presence in your life.
