Bill (Not Bill!), It'd take a lot of strain and effort to go around staring all day (Not to mention how weird you'd look). Alternatively, not opening your eyes renders you blind and makes it extremely dangerous to cross the road. Maybe blinking is the middle way between the two? It certainly helps to have enough ego to cross the road safely.

Maybe that old Barbarian from the West was on to something, after all! ________________________________ From: William Rintala <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 29 August 2012, 3:51 Subject: Re: [Zen] for mike Note to everyone: Please check your egos at the door.

There is a mystery to the universe that needs no name. Indeed, isn't the Tao that can be named not the Tao. Just because I don't see the world the same as you is no need to condescend. The 'universe' is all I need. I don't need to add to the lexicon by naming it anything other.
