“Within the chain of thoughts, and within the chain of the chain,”zero” appears as the gateway to “zero”. Nor is this a result that can be reached only by specifying the moment in a particular way (for example, through meditative practice directed at “immediate experience”). Fully open, “zero” is not preconditioned; it depends on no particular “read-out”. KTS 94
…and thus is always available.
“Tracing out “zero”, we find that the wholeness of Time, Space, and Knowledge together cannot be said to exist, for existence cannot determine its structure. As a way of inquiry, it is available to whoever, whatever, whenever, and wherever.” KTS 96
…what a relief.
“Motion, acceleration, and change, as they are, present the heart of Great Knowledge. This is not a potential way of seeing or a mystical vision; it is not a future situation to be attained. Nor is it a doctrine to be maintained, a truth to be defended, or an insight to be won. Simply to allow for this possibility, without claiming it as our own, can transform the steady momentum of time and the “friction” of the lower order into the joy of Being.” KTS 100
…yes, that’s what I want: Joy of Being
“Zero” is far from absence; perhaps we could say that “zero” is intrinsic. Without “zero” there is no door to enter – only impenetrable substance.” KTS 104
…thanks God, there’s “zero”…
