1. "Being...what do you 'do' with it?"--Echart Tolle "The New Earth"

The collective consciousness...affected by all individual thought...awareness taps you in to all that is.

Tolle says "To say I think is the same as saying I beat my heart or I digest my food. Thinking happens"... also..."Breathing is something we witness not so much something we do but it is done in the present moment and by just thinking on it or witnessing it we put space around our thinking as it keeps us focused in the present moment."

This is all akin to Zen which is akin to all and you know this...your being says so. Sometimes it is so hard just to 'be' after a lifetime of 'doing' huh? Yet being is how the formless is brought into our world and is an outer purpose of progressive existence. Just being aware of your breathing several times a day is more transformative than most educational courses we could take.

Oh, but to have a place where people could come together to just express being. It's what happens when one looks into the Zen Diaper-ha. Thanks for posting...interesting school statement.
