How are you today?

[ceez]

I'm at the core of a battle between life and death.

LOL... that made me smile

Actually though, it's a real battle inside of me...

...Actually though, it's a real battle inside of me...

Verywell, then, which side are you on? ... The side of light, life and love, or the side of darkness, death, and hatred? ...

Or, perhaps, you have begun to find that "third side," the center of every conflict ...

... around which all chaos revolves ...

... that place of insight where one realizes there is no need to fight one's self ...

... only to see clearly in a moment what is ...

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

There was once a Samurai, named Nobuchika, who approached the Zen master, named Hakuin, and asked whether there were really Hell and Heaven. The Zen master asked him, “Who are you?” The Samurai answered, “I am a Samurai, sir”. “Uh! Are you?”, the master exclaimed, “You don’t look like a Samurai; you look like a beggar”. The Samurai got angry and grabbed his sword. When Master Hakuin saw this he said, “Uh! You have a sword. It looks very dull. What can you do with a dull sword?” Nobuchika drew his sword out of its sheath. Then Master Hakuin said, softly, “See! There the gate of Hell opens.” When Hobuchika heard the master's wisdom he calmed down and began to re-sheath his sword. "And there," said Master Hakuin, "lies the gate of heaven”.
