Bo and Scott and All
If you see a Budda on the path Kill it. If I don't know it I don't want it.
When mindless will acts millions can die or a hero can be born. "On a
dark night, Kindled in love with yearnings-Oh, happy chance!-I went forth
without being observed, My house being now at rest." John of the Cross.
All ways to knowledge can be suppressed voluntarily? Can such a possibility
exist? Oh! but I am certain I know what is true, I have no more doubts.
And even that is not enough? The first shall be last and the last shall be
first. Knowledge and Good! And there is a way to bring this about? What
kind of violence? Define intellectual Pattern? I think not. To suppress
the instincts kills the organism and a mystic dwells in the instinctive
experience. Not easily!
Hope this answers something some words are the same
