"To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain
wisdom, remove things every day."
-- Lao Tzu
-- Lao Tzu
How do we take something away? As we cultivate higher
awareness, we begin to see just how much we have added
things that really aren't there to our picture of
reality. Our beliefs, concepts and emotions all add
layers of meaning to physical reality, but that
meaning exists for us only - it has no objective
existence. For example, the word 'mother' has a
complicated network of meaning for each of us.
Become aware of how your beliefs and emotions colour
your perception of different events in your life. See
if you can begin to step out of your fabrications to
experience the truth and spaciousness of what is.
"When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it
and let it go. The past is over. ... Forgive yourself
and move on."
