Key Lesson Part 1
A tree has many leaves, and -- in one way or another -- the wind touches all of them; some shake, some quiver, some hardly move at all. And, yes: it may be said the tree "knows" their trembling; but neither the wind, nor the leaves it stirs are the tree that feels their passing touch. Thoughts and feelings are like leaves; learning to watch them move is much better than being carried away with every breeze.
Part 2
No reaction has the wisdom, let alone the awareness to realize the purpose of its temporary appearance; it is powerless to solve the mystery of itself.
Part 3
We are, at once, both the intersection of active and passive forces, as well as the interaction between them, ceaselessly becoming what is newly conceived in their marriage... So that we are at once not only invited as guests to witness this union but -- if we agree to attend these moments, whatever their nature -- we will see that it is, and always has been... our wedding.
Part 4
The seer neither has, nor needs words to be in an undivided relationship with what is (being) seen; seeing is wordless, while the "words" for whatever is revealed conceals its truth. Higher self-understanding has no reason for (the moment) of (its) revelation.
