Hi Maarten, and welcome to the squad.
Thanks for your response to my rambling on intellect and zen-life. As I
said, I know too little of Zen and I am sure you are right that I have
misrepresented the ideas of Zen. The tension between quality living (closed
circle) and enhanced awareness (spiral of change) is probably felt no
matter what frame of learning one has chosen, Zen and/or MoQ and/or others.
I do feel it as a very strong tension, where the spiral of awareness keeps
rupturing my circle of living; I should not wonder why this is so, perhaps,
as we live in a period of extremely rapid change - it is only a few decades
ago that we first saw the earth as this beautiful blue globe in space; and
the idea that we humans have become on and out of this globe, with the rest
of terrestial life, is still up for debate; as is the idea that we are
still in this together, that we are part of a larger system of life.
Anyways, thanks for enlightening me on Buddhism!
Hugo
