The will to witness is one of the last obstacles ( third picture, next one but you may have a look)
Put it another way, don't glimpse it but glimpse the one that glimpses it...
The great pitfall is to go to it like we would go to the movies. The ego loves to see its own death. And turns it into another bloody interesting show.
Shoveling snow is the way. Not staying with any glimpse, just doing the work, endlessly. Fun or no fun.
Things do fall away when we sit. Make sure the witness does too.
Thank you for these words about our stupid efforts to generate goodies.
I can't agree more about death, it is okay to die...until one is diagnosed with terminal cancer( not my case, yet).
We are involved in a dying process. It is painful. Resistance is making it even more painful.
Nevertheless, Chet, I DON T WANT TO DIE. Well, people pretending it is okay to die and blablabala, sorry...
Do taxes, kiss your girl, go to work. 100 % with you.
My clumsy take on what you wrote.
Thank you again for your teaching
