2010 SUTHEN SEMINARS ANNOUNCED AT END OF COLUMN.

Replacing Illusions

You live in an illusion created by the way you view what happens to you. The illusion is the result of all your previous experiences being projected into the current situation.

There is a Zen story about a man who was sitting in the middle of the road drawing his arms forward and back as if rowing a boat.

Since he was blocking the road, a traveler asked him, “What are you doing? Are you crazy?”

“I’m rowing a boat,” replied the man. “I have room for you if you want to join me.”

“But there is no boat,” said the traveler.

“No boat? Oh my God, we’d better start swimming,” replied the panicked man.

When you finally realize the illusion, do not immediately create another one. It is time to explore what is -- what is reality and what is illusion, what can be changed and what cannot be changed. It is time to recognize the difference.

In a dim light you might see a length of rope lying on the ground and believe it to be a snake. The snake is not real, but your mind projects the fear as real. Naturally, you respond to the fear. Maybe you tremble. Maybe you run and fall. You could even have a heart attack and die. But all the while there was never any snake at all. You created and projected it into reality.

It follows that your familiar world is not real. It is simply your projection of the world, which is why the eastern mystics call it maya -- an illusion. Yes, the world exists but your mind distorts it and creates great misunderstandings. Your conscious beliefs about philosophy, relationships and society confuse it further, and your deeper beliefs about who and what you are blur reality even more.

If your mind is wrong, maybe no-mind is right. No-mind would be a matter of ceasing to compare one thing or person to another. No division. No prejudice. No judgment. No blame. It would mean you accept unalterable realities (what is). There would be no past and no future -- only now.

Meditate upon comparisons and illusions and how they could affect the manifestation of your desires.
