On 2000/12/31 16:03, Christopher Wynter posted thus to the K-list:
Simply put ..
The essence of Eastern Path is letting go
of what the mind perceives we are not
and .. there are many ways of letting it go
The essence of the Western Path
is bashing into the mind, some concepts
that the mind has devised as to who we are ..
When Westerners follow the Eastern Path
they forget that the purpose of the remembering
is to forget
so they can remember ..
and thus, the body and the unconscious mind is subjected to
a set of conflicting learned patterns ..
The Western Path sees the unconscious as outside the physical body
and ignores what is inside
The Eastern path sees the unconscious as inside the physical body
and embraces what is outside ...
The origins of Language and the etymology of words used
in the translations of texts from the ancient languages into English
does not recognise this subtlety ..
So, the Western teacher thinks he can teach ..
but the Eastern teacher knows he can't ..
The true teacher cannot teach you anything
but can only remind you of what, on some level,
you already know ...
In the west,
our education system has instilled into us the fear of forgetting
and life has instilled into us the fear of remembering
Thus, the journey home is the journey into re-member-ing ..
or
the reconnecting the fragments ..
bringing the members of the (inner) family back together ..
into a cohesive whole ...
which is why some say love
is the opposite of fear
and love is the experience resulting from
dissolving the boundaries of separation
