What's Happening?


Our minds get so anxious about the world, about vast and tiny circles turning round their eternal centers, when in fact hardly anything is actually happening but the mind's own self-agitation. Take a clear look at this phenomenon called "the world": constant repetition of the same patterns and karmic cycles, the same stories furiously told again and again, with only slight variation in names and faces.

What changes? What actually happens? Atoms and galaxies swirling in the void, keeping very much to their orbits and cycles in a great waltz. What changes is mind, superimposing its fickle chaos onto the screen of energy. If we want to bring the world some peace, settle down the mind. If we want to save the earth, save it from this mind.
