Opening to present-moment experience, when conducted with the conscious surrender of a wave-surfer, leads you into the nakedness of absolute reality. It’s a vertical investigation (a movement of consciousness as it moves away from linear thinking) into the nature of thinking and feeling that reveals the truth that all thoughts, feelings, and sensations are temporary. Much as you try, you cannot hold on to them, control them, or even stop them. Each day, each hour, and each minute is filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
An utterance of poetic beauty
like a giant wave
can kill in an instant
