Reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.
From Alan Watts
In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.
Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.
