bodhidave<a href="https://micro.blog/activitypub/thisness" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thisness</a> I wrote a thesis years ago that focused on this passage from from the 4th c. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/contemplative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemplative</a> Christian theologian, Gregory of Nyssa:In this way the mighty David became intoxicated and went out of himself: he saw, while in ecstasy, that divine beauty which no mortal can behold, and cried out in those famous words: *Every man is a liar* [cf. Psalms 116.11], thus giving us some hint of that ineffable treasure. (Commentary on the Canticle of Canticles, 10)🙂 🙏

bodhidaveI've studied and practiced <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/contemplative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemplative</a> traditions rather intensively for a long time. And it seems to me the heart of those traditions and their practice is something both elusive and simple:the utter wonder that anything at all is happening.And a best way to realize and honor and appreciate that, is, as <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Zen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zen</a> teacher Mazu put it, to just "not contrive." It's always already this — before we have a plan, or a theology, or even any thought-up ideas.

There he says this about the poets:

bodhidaveLanguage for expressing <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/contemplative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemplative</a> practice can sound hyperbolic and romantic ... until you find it's matter-of-factly descriptive of what you're experiencing.In tonight's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a>, the practice came to expression for me this way:Be the miracle that is this moment — in not being anything that you aren't.

Attention is a kind of "mental light" that extends towards a thought or phenomenal object and illuminates it and touches it and grasps it.

And that helps me realize that my waking thinking "ego" self isn't the starting point — like sleep, it comes from somewhere; it's generated; it's an expression.And that further helps me in allowing a kind of balance between the need to dis-identify with and let go of the ego, on one had, and allowing a kind of embrace with its occurrence, one another.Our waking, thinking, egoic self is a sample of the living truth.
