It is attractive and to my mind, and dangerous to think ok fear or love - leeme just ramp one up to the hilt and get her done -
Who is the "I" choosing the effort to be embrace/accept more fear or love?
These are not things that can be 30 day trialed and junked if they are found wanting.
It seems to avoid awareness that
it is by subtly viewing the learning one is doing moment to moment that leads to subtler awareness -
not identifying with embracing emotions.
Also any sensitivity to the great poetry legacies will show that the soul in its higher evolution - goes through subtle dynamics of fear and love -
it is folly to suspect that someone championing get in or out - is in any level qualified to give good advice on these matters.
It is also prudent to remember that the buddhas teachings on subjectivism were not lay teachings and were designed for disciples in his culture.
(I calibrate above 600 on the hawkins scale - not to boast but to help urge extreme caution beofre taking pavilan steves "just try it" ethic seriously.)  |
