RT @nick_routledge: @TheaEuryphaessa Isn't he wonderful? The world's wisdom traditions likewise acknowledge this particular locus of personal, moment-to-moment experience (literally, as close as the light in one's eyes) as a deceptively simple pivot-point for awakening into life, and aim supportive practices at it.

Copy of tweet here: A disturbance representing a/the primary quotidian trigger and locus for refining ourselves in the divine image? Dogen: "When the Self advances to confirm the ten thousand things, that is delusion. When the ten thousand things advance to confirm the self, that is realization.” “Observance of the soul can be deceptively simple. You take back what has been disowned. You work with what is, rather than what you wish were there." Thomas Moore Quote tweet: 'We see the world as we are, not as it is,' is an ancient insight, common to global wisdom traditions. But oft credited to Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani in the Talmudic tractate, Berakhot. What truly matters? We ourselves may access the transfigurative alchemy such insight empowers.
@stephenrjmullan @lukeburgis 1/11 You’ve noticed! Yes, the Ayes have it. Some cultures hold that the light of the soul is filtered through our glance and, concomitantly, in depth, "souls connect at the meeting of the glance." Refining the directed glance, common practice in the world's transmission lineages.
