ZEN RESORT BALI


 "Where there is great doubt, there will be great awakening; small doubt, small awakening, no doubt, no awakening." 

― Zen Proverb 

Once it's clearly established that all doubts cannot be cleared, like waves on an ocean 🌊 , can never subside together...a mind learns to have many thoughts without any one really disturbing!

The waves subside soon automatically, so are the thoughts...

RESPECT FULL. GRACE FULL. MEANING FULL. HEART CONNECT NOT MIND ATTACH.

Image
When in a meaning full relationship, protect your partner’s peace.   Stay away from limited people with dogmatic mind attachments who force their issues, who enable poor behaviour choices, who are not transparent and only begrudgingly tolerate your mistakes,  Avoid completely those one track wonders who push you to do misaligned things, and who convince you to ruin something aligned with your own soul.  Limiting people can’t help you grow, mind attached dogma, myopic narrow views will only drag you down and slowly poison your liberation.  Discerningly choose not to follow any proscriptive mindset that is limiting, or become like them just to fit in or avoid loneliness.  Cults of busyness, racist assholes, limiting or conversionist religious models, spirituality that demands blind obedience, any rapacious business models that put corporate greed and profit over human well being are to be called out.  Choose self care, choose maturity, choose boundaries, and ...

You notice options that were invisible when your mind was stuck running the same loop. DISCERNING JOY & PRIORITISE PEACE  KARMA ALWAYS FINDS The right ADDRESS  DO NO HARM, TAKE NO SHIT  BE KIND NOT RIGHT  LIFE IS VERY VERY SIMPLE  IF YOU CHOOSE…  LIGHTEN UP, WHY SO SERIOUS? Unless it is…
