Looking

(Dharma) Bread Crumb #6
BC6You look at a flower.

If you pay attention to the flower, your experience is scientific.

If you pay attention to the witness of the flower, it becomes spiritual.

A scientist and a spiritual man may be standing side-by-side, looking at the same event, being as they normally “are” . . . and they are not looking in the same way.  Nor are they seeing the same thing.

Consider how you “look” at things; what is your perspective as the seer? Quiet down, identify your vantage point . . .

Clear or muddy? Fertile or stale? Imaginatively insightful or tired judgment? Imprisoned or free? Brilliant or boring? Alive or dead?

– Neither grief or a broken heart, or fear, precludes you from doing this.
