 the fault-lines* of philosophy are

 the cracks in the pavements of civilisation

through which grow the 

weed-flowers 

of art and drama

 

* by this i mean

the place where two 

parallel lines meet

The moment you set your foot on the path of liberation, you are apt to find that all your karmic creditors will come to your door. And that's why it's often said that people who start out on a serious work of yoga suddenly get sick and lose their money and their best friends drop dead and all kind of ghastly things happen. That's because they served notice that they were going to do this [. . .] Even if you serve notice privately on yourself that suddenly you're going to drop it all, already the Devil knows–because who do you think the Devil is?

- Alan Watts

hence zen (and not the formalised ritualised sitting and spouting)

 there were signs all along that i wasn't smart,

but i wasn't smart enough to see it

once i remembered the bus stop i had to get off at

as the one before X

once X came, i realised aha i had to get down

and it was of course , too late

 ever since i put my mobile phone down (it fell down and cracked its face), i seem to be belong more to the larger whole of reality

movies the spiritual seeker can enjoy matrix - the universe is an illusion, maya, and you must wake up, but once you do, it's the same but different revolver - your ego/enemy sits in the last place you'll look, rather, you look at the world through its' eyes (it's not an enemy though) fifth element - the battle with evil is always on , not to lose faith, only life is important
