Evolving Spirituality
The perennial Eastern traditions referenced the unborn absolute yin and the goal of spiritual endeavour and this is most evident in Daoism, but in Buddhism, and Hinduism as well. "Realize the unborn emptiness, the womb of dao and be free of the world of suffering."
The Western traditions referenced absolute yang as the goal. "Die and go to heaven, the shining glory of god" - also forever removed from the world.
What does it mean to live a life grounded in the unborn with a profound realization of emptiness as evidenced by ease of being, and to give one's self absolutely to yang as the evolutionary impulse now (not later when we are dead) - literally bringing heaven to earth ?
This is a new, third way. Its the perfect synthesis of the Eastern and Western teachings into an entirely new dimension of humanity. The fusion of the two brain hemispheres into one functional unit and no doubt a profound new maturity in the extent of connections across the corpus callosum.
Who will we discover is this newly emergent man and woman ? What does it mean to be a women without the obsessive need to see her reflection in everything ? What does it mean to be a man with real strength as opposed to the constant fluctuation between the poles of bravado and weakness ?
