Up late night drinking with Sue. Really drunk. Four Colorado Bulldogs.
Promised not to reveal what she talked about…but it got me thinking…
Am I zen because I can accept the totality of my experience as me…
Or can I accept the totality of my experience as me because right now it’s good and easy?
If the shit hit the fan again…would I become someone I don’t like/respect once again?
Am I who I think I am?
Answer: All self is impermanent. Concept of self is a conceit. You are who you are from moment to moment. Who you will be tomorrow is dependant on acceptance of being. Striving, self-concept and fear are antithetical to this. Self doubt is a sign of not being…but of striving and self-concept, which should be abandoned.
So the answer is: "No, you’re not there yet."
I'm not enlightened AND I have to wake up again in three hours??
Crap.
