When Banzan was walking through a market he overheard a conversation between a butcher and his customer.

“Give me the best piece of meat you have,” said the customer.

“Everything in my shop is the best,” replied the butcher. “You cannot find here any piece of meat that is not the best.”

At these words Banzan became enlightened.

All my systems are “tuning up”: mind/body, social, love & sexuality, understanding of food, health, the earth and nature and it’s flows, the movement of energy, water, sun, sky, soil, plants, animals, birds, how it all works, and the ecosystems we are a part of, the planet, this unbelievably beautiful Earth and it’s non-separation from everything else (and my non-separation), the atmosphere, on out into space, the star we orbit, our Sun (divine)…at at a yet higher level cosmic quantum mind, timelessness of reality – insight after insight – all my knowledge and skills falling into place. I’m not only a new man, but a new kind of man. This is really remarkable.

All the junk that was not in tune, was from hiding-ignorance/love-God playing a game with itself in the universal Mind, is being cleaned out. This process is beginning very quickly, but I have foresight about where it’s going ( the completion of the human race, to join a cosmic community of beings in multiple dimensions/alternate realities, if I’m not mistaken). Sounds pretty far out, but realty is so much more unbelievably vast and beautiful, and full, bursting forth infinitely full, of infinite love, knowledge, and peace, that we can’t even imagine it.

It’s perfectly understandable that people (wonderful humans: every one a shining unique gem) have fear and hide from reality. But there really is nothing to fear. Quire the opposite. “God”, if you want to use that word (I like the native American way of putting form to understanding better: spirit (in Nature) and Big Spirit) wants to give you everything, or actually is already, if you can only know it. You already have it.

However, right now I feel very “dry” overall. I’m sure that will work itself out. It’s not bad, it just is. (“It is what is is” as the fellows in a pub in Wales said). Maybe I’m just a “dry” kind of human, I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because I spent so many decades being an intellectual (studying & researching philosophy, psychology, spirituality), and then as a technical professional.

I have a feeling the yoga, and the women I meet, will help with this unwinding and flowing process (releasing what’s inside). Diet makes a difference too. Massage will help. None of this has to be forced or analyzed or worried about or “decided” on in the usual sense (people try to use their thinking minds to make themselves physically healthy – they think they know what’s wrong and go buy some products or start practices and they are off-base - it has limited usefulness and can even be harmful) : the mind-body knows what it needs, and you just intuit, in a process of action/movement, quiet attention, and everything you need is right there, like a wonderful artistic process.
