Transcendent Paradigm

New Transcendent Paradigm

More than ever the middle way brings to us complete relevance. The beauty of Buddha is that he is so pertinent today. “Keep death close,” he might say. “Beware of extremes.” That is how I like to think of him anyway. Still and happy, gentle and calm; he was a friend to all creatures great and small. Have you heard the story of Buddha having his face spit on? Buddha thanked the guy for seeing if he could still be provoked!

Reflecting everything as if you are a mirror you learn acceptance. All things are allowed in this Universe or else they wouldn’t be here. Guaranteed; whatever it is that gets your goat has a lesson coded within. It is hilarious how the Universe is always trying to get our attention. This supercedes all temporal phenomena. The very fabric of space/time itself can come alive and change all the rules with a wry wink.

As the observer we are neither for nor against. Of course in the everyday world we make choices and do what we have to do, but from the eye, all simply is. Pretend to be a sacred spy with holy boots on the ground. Every dark motive transmuted by love. All offence diffused. War made into peace not anti-war. Recognize each other and work together to build the bridges that will bring the new transcendent paradigm.

From here we will be aware of all realms simultaneously and still be able to put one foot in front of the other. When we do we walk a straight path and enjoy the fruits of non-aggression. Flowers bloom around our feet as we recognize the interconnectedness of all life. Physical reality manifests around our Will as we align it with the highest truth. The divine energy comes out through our strength, sincerity and humor.
