Wednesday Zen with Guest Host Jesse Cardin
There is a true person of no rank who is always coming and going through the portals of your face.
Who is that true person of no rank?
We’ve all got an image to uphold. Don’t lie, you’ve got one too! And oh my, all the ways I scheme and manipulate and maneuver to keep that image going. The Good Father, the Good Teacher, the Good Neighbor (I’m seeing a lot of the word Good in there…think that could mean something?).
But there is someone who doesn’t worship at the altar of the self. This person moves freely throughout the world, unhampered by thought, emotion, or even physical form. They can be a God, a buddha, a bodhisattva, an ordinary person, a demon, a tree–whatever is needed.
What is the image you are sworn to uphold?
At what altar of the self do you worship?
What are the consequences of violating the code of your order?
And what is it like to forget all that, even for a moment?
I have questions.
See you Wednesday!
Jesse
