this blog is the continuation of a genuine mystical tradition, unless you get in daily contemplative time and abstain to a significant degree from "entertainment" then you are just wasting your time and mine !
the real shikantaza churns yourself, for just about everybody this state/condition is to be strenuously avoided so they create third party systems like "silent illumination" and "koan study" to proxy their time so they themselves are never subjected to the trauma of C H A N G E
that's a very interesting question and perhaps has to do with that very few people ever realise anything like the true income potential due to their capacities !
these are the best years of your life and is your job doing anything to develop you ?
when you walk away from your job, what do you leave with ? improved driving skills ? that actually is a huge benefit if it keeps you accident free for the remainder of your life ! ?
