Absorption: Welcome back to NTD Ep#159. Meditation Thursdays I will be reading from Tao 365. today we are reading on Absorption. Crimson light through pine shadows. Setting Sun settling in the ocean. Night follows the setting sun, they follows the fling moon. All too often, we tend to think of absorption as a static sing, water is absorbed into a sponge, and there it stays. But true absorption is a total involvement in the evolution of life without hesitation or contradiction. In nature there is no alienation. Everything belongs. Only human beans hold ourselves a aloof from this process. We have our civilization, our personal plans, our very own petty emotions. We divorced ourselves from process, even as we yearn for love, companionship, understanding, and communion. We're constantly defeat a selves by questioning, asserting ourselves at the wrong times, or letting hatred and pride cloud our perceptions. Our alienation is self generated.
