"Don’t ponder: You don’t need to figure everything out. Discursive thinking won’t free you from the trap. In meditation, the mind is purified naturally by mindfulness, by wordless bare attention. Habitual deliberation is not necessary to eliminate those things that are keeping you in bondage. All that is necessary is a clear, non-conceptual perception of what they are and how they work. That alone is sufficient to dissolve them. Concepts and reasoning just get in the way. Don’t think. See."

Wow, and see, I'm not even thinking about the letters that I have no idea about in these comments back and forth. So I MUST be making progress.

I am particularly fond of "You don't need to figure everything out." This sentence was written just for me.

LOVE!
PEACE!

(And I hope you are feeling better too.)
