Healing the Cracks: Generosity and Interdependence
|
| "The human mind is the point in the universe that can reflect, review and understand. The result of this is to realize how much is given. Consequently it becomes natural for us to be generous, loving and compassionate."
"Everything we come into contact with can be sensed as a mere object, and measured in terms of our wishes and opinions. This is ignorance. In reality every created thing is a subject in a cosmos of interacting subjects. Whatever is taken as an object - the earth and its creatures, other people, and finally our own bodies and minds - becomes liable to abuse. This 'objectifying' is the source of both our demonic power and our terrible loneliness and hunger. But it doesn't have to be this way." |
