When the insight lacks in stillness,
Harshness appears.
Before you study Zen,
mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers;
while you are studying Zen,
mountains are no longer mountains and rivers are no longer rivers;
But once you have had enlightenment mountains are once again mountains and rivers again rivers.
Self serving symbolic systems are inherently concave. Like any symbolic manifestation, they may easily collapse inwards. Disharmony makes way for a greater harmony. Ever farther back, the oscillation of harmony and disharmony is harmonious. Even farther, disharmonious. Even farther, harmony once again.
When these ripples in consciousness are embodied with conscious resonance, one’s intuitive sense-making expands farther. Farther still, the symbolic ties no longer support themselves but resonate with all of existence.
