Bodh Gaya – & “THE MIDDLE WAY” – PERFECT TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE MIDDLE WAY… IGNORANCE OF ONE SIDE OF AN EQUATION IS NOT EQUAL TO BEING A GENIUS

Bodh Gaya – Wikipedia

…”At this point, the Buddha was abandoned by the five men who had been his companions in his earlier austerities, as all they saw was an ordinary man; mocking his well-nourished appearance, they said, “Here comes the mendicant Gautama, who has turned away from asceticism. He is certainly not worth our respect.” When they reminded him of his former vows, the Buddha replied,

“Austerities only confuse the mind. In the exhaustion and mental stupor to which they lead, one can no longer understand the ordinary things of life, still less the truth that lies beyond the senses. I have given up extremes of either luxury or asceticism. I have discovered the Middle Way.”

This is explained as the path that is neither easy (his former life as a rich prince) nor hard (living in austere conditions, practising self-denial). Hearing this, the five ascetics became the Buddha’s first disciples in Deer Park, Sarnath, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northeast of Varanasi.[citation needed]“…

SIMPLE PUT – MIDDLE WAY IS…

RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF OPPOSITES…

WALKING THE PARADOX OF OPPOSITES…

NEITHER GOOD

NEITHER BAD

NEITHER RIGHT

NEITHER WRONG

SIMPLY PUT…

BOTH AT WORK AT RELATIVELY THE SAME TIME AND PLACE

IN TERMS OF DOT / WAVE

FAIR

MEAN

MIDDLE

PEAK

APEX

QUITE A WORK OF ART ALL IN ITSELF

CHOOSING NONE BETWEEN BOTH, YET DOING BOTH, YET STILL THE CORRECT THING TO DO AT EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IN TIME

THIS IS HOW YOU FULFILL YOUR ULTIMATE DESTINIES

SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE ON AND NOT BE TIED TO THE PAST AND FREE FROM FEAR FOR THE FUTURE

FREE WILL FREE WORK FREE FROM TIME

NOTHING MATTERS IN THE MOMENT

OTHER THAN

THE MOMENT ITSELF – VERY MUCH LIKE OPEN EMPTY MIND

DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE BECOME A PUPPET OF SOMETHING ELSE…

MEANS YOUR CHOICES WILL ALL BE SOUND WITH VERY LITTLE MISTAKES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT SURROUNDS YOU…

MISTAKES YOU MAKE WILL BE BECAUSE OF LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND / OR IGNORING YOUR OWN GUT INTUITION

OTHER THAN THAT…

YOU ARE GREEN FOR GO BABY GO

SKY IS NO LONGER THE LIMIT !!!
