WHO AM I?

The question, "Who am I?" can be a very effective meditation tool. Contemplating the possible answers without clinging to any particular solution expands awareness to an unlimited degree.


YOU ARE A PAWN

You may feel that you are being manipulated by a higher, more clever intelligence. In reality, nobody is doing anything to anybody. We're all here together, although the rational conscious may not realize it.



THERE ARE NO MISTEAKS

The ancient Chinese said this to each other before business negotiations.

Whatever happens on the relative plane, the cosmos as a whole makes no errors. The uncreated, unborn and unmade always provide new alternatives. There is no possibility of ever straying from the path, whatever its turns may be.

This is not a license to do anything but an assertion that the ego or the illusion of ego tends to create problems.


TRANSMUTATION THROUGH UNION OF OPPOSITES

Tension, when not resisted, can be changed into positivity. A higher state can be attained by mixing different and even opposing energies. Yin and yang or positive and negative energies can always be mingled, as they are universally present.


The Whirling Golden Wheel

This is the symbol of all that is constantly turning and cannot be understood. Awareness of the whirling golden wheel allows the rider to relax in spite of the inevitable friction.
