Her I am surfing late at night, integrating and deconstructing. Seeking that which is unseekable, and yet I look for it with the tap, tap of my finger tips. Maybe one more idea, one more data point, will create the critical mass. Silly me. It is the Doing that throws me. Being and Becoming seem so natural. Easy. It is the data lock on my worldview prior to each Action where the fear arises. Sure, I’d like to think I step forward from Keagan’s 5th order perspective, but can’t help feeling that the concretization of my perspective that heralds each Action is inherently flawed by its solidification. Well maybe that’s just what it means to be human. I guess the only action that isn’t imperfect is the action of taking action. We gotta do something with those 1440 minutes we get each day, eh? Roll the dice! Shit or get off the pot my uncle used to say. That’s still good advice. Nice to stumble across you again Vince. It was just a few days ago that a grad student reached out to me for some coaching after bouncing through your website. I hope you are doing well. Keep the faith. Blessings. Serendipity.

That almost sounds like mediatation on emptiness.
1: Identify the object of negation – the inherently existent self (which does not exist from a Budddhist point of view)
2: Negating this misconception.
