We all need to visit a large emergency department—to linger there for a few hours, observing and encountering the reactions that arise within us. We need to do this to truly understand that everyone entering those doors is—or once was—one of those wide-eyed, open, and utterly unreserved children who first met life with unspoiled senses. And we need to truly grasp the nature of the reality we have created—a reality reflected in our inner responses when we stand unguarded and vulnerable, unable to simply observe our reactions as they are, free from the interference of the ideals, ideas, or notions we hold about the reality we fundamentally share with everyone: both within that setting and in the life we create through our own conduct and encounter all around us. Also, realise this as the experience of nature as a hole, with all beings, with the experience of the mental expanse of its basic space, and you will be greeted with the full extent of its compassion. Of what this is. By suppressing or identifying with our reactions, we create trauma and mental suffering. Both contribute to our dualistic hell —an endless cycle with a recurring theme that forces us to ceaselessly navigate between Scylla and Charybdis in a samsaric conflict. But relief may come by the preternal void. By the primal sense of a wholeness. By its view, observation and its emerging fruition.
