September 23, 2022 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 39 excerpt)

Story 39 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

My father would go apoplectic when he was near gum chewers.
He would physically recoil as they mashed away in complete
obliviousness to the consternation they were causing him.
Though I didn’t understand the reason for his meltdowns, over
time I absorbed his attitude. Each time some unsuspecting
gum smacker tried to engage my father in a conversation, I
could feel my father do a slow burn. Like a tuning fork hearing
a note played on a piano, I would commiserate with him, and
my habit patterning would...

Story 38 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

The Buddha was also the first neuroscientist. He confirmed neuroplasticity,
the mind's ability to change by restructuring itself at the
neurological level. The Buddha altered his mind to such an
extent that he transcended the final two complex, problematic
stages of the thinking process. He declared himself enlightened,
which is to say free from the shackles of greed, hatred, and
delusion. This was proof positive, as James Olds, a professor of
neuroscience, said, that the mind is not just plastic but “very
plastic.” So much so that...

Story 37 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

The Buddha was more scientist than spiritual seeker. He
wanted to understand human suffering using himself, his body,
and his mind as his laboratory. After many years of ascetic
practices, while sitting under a pipal tree in Bihar in northern
India, he took a vow not to move until his experiment gave up
an answer. As dawn broke so did the yoke that tied him to this
earthly realm. Enlightenment. He was now awakened. He was
now the Buddha. The one who knows. And what does he ask
of us? Reverence? Obedience? Blind devotion? Not at all. He
asks...

Story 36 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

One night a man lost his keys. He looked for them under a
street lamp. A friend walked by, saw him looking for something,
and asked him what he lost.

“My keys,” he replied.

“Oh,” said his friend. “Where did you lose them?”

“Over there. In the woods,” came the reply.

Stunned, the friend asked, “But why are you looking for them here?”

“The light is much brighter here!” the man replied.

Story 35 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

For my father’s entire life, I was not a parent. In his presence
I reverted to a child-like sense of entitlement. His world
revolved around me and this, I thought, was how it should be.
I had my family after he had passed away. And it was only as
my boys got older and I dealt with all the practical aspects of
child-rearing that I fully appreciated all my father had done. I
loved him all the more and grieved his...

Story 34 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

Nature doesn't lie. It acts according to natural laws. And
human nature, too, doesn't lie. It plays out as a series of
causes and effects. If the inputs are negative, stifling, abusive,
or spiteful, the immediate effects may be unpleasant. Even
if there is no evidence of any negative aftermath, in time,
inauspicious acts invariably lead to a myriad of unintended
and unforeseen negative circumstances. Rare is it to find a
criminal who doesn’t feel remorse about his deeds and who is
not also suffering ten-fold due to substance abuse, turning as
he would to...

Story 33 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

A healthy component of the practice is to stay awake to
encroaching spiritual materialism. This danger begins to
raise its head after you think of yourself as an experienced
practitioner. You may judge your practice as quite advanced.
You pat yourself on the back. You start acquiring compliments.
Thoughts that you might teach someday may flutter through
your consciousness. Don’t indulge in these meanderings.
Keep an eye on them as you would a spot of crabgrass on an
otherwise pristine lawn.

Story 32 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

An abscessed tooth forced me out of my hut and into Bombay,
as it was known then, to see a dentist. I had his name on a
piece of paper and was assured he was ektampukkha, “a cheap
but best” dentist. No one was in the waiting room, and he said
he could take me right away, two facts that should have warned
me to be careful. Once I was in the chair, he quickly concluded
my tooth was...

Story 31 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

I had an aunt who lived on a forty-acre estate west of Toronto.
The manor house was an Elizabethan structure with separate
breakfast and dining rooms, a full maid's quarters, apple
orchards, and a forest with deer and other wildlife. In the late
afternoon we would dress for tea and retire to the screened
porch off the living room. My aunt would put Mozart on the
hi-fi, and we would eat cucumber sandwiches. The tea service
was...
