Will an Everchanging peg Fit into the Neverchanging Hole?

The other day I was talking to Dr. Yuen about a certain type of people—the ones who think ‘they’ve seen it all’,  he called them (with no judgmental attachment).

“Oh yea”, I agreed, “the ones who try to fit the Yuen Method into something they already know, as opposed to  those who leave room for something new to come along.” (I like to explore the effects of human mindsets.)

Pause for exploration.

And now the question:  What type of person, do you think, learns something new faster?  The one who thinks he’s* seen it all, or the one who thinks there might be something new to see?  The one who thinks he has been there and done everything, or the one who knows there is always more to experience? The one who tries to fit the everchanging peg into the neverchanging hole or …..Time’s up!

If we try to fit the Yuen Method into the reality we’ve already structured for ourselves, a large part of its infinite potential is lost from the get-go.

Why can’t it be OK not to know everything about life?  What if someone else knows something more about it than we do?  We aren’t going to lose face or die, or lose the ability to think for ourselves, are we?…..Oh well, enough said.

I find that Dr. Yuen’s technique constantly changes and evolves, but that’s thanks to Dr. Yuen.   I truly believe that if it weren’t for his fearless, nonjudgmental approach to limitless existence that the whole method  would stop and become exactly like a religion.

The first thing many of us do, consciously or unconsciously, when exposed to the Yuen Method is try to peg it—make it fit with what we already know.  It’s kind of a logical mind thing or even a security issue we have with boundary-less  states of existence.   Sad to say, most of us want our boundaries like a baby wants a pacifier.

Dr. Yuen’s approach to life , on the other hand, is limitless and, therefore, much more freaking fearless.  Thank goodness, too.  It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it—be nonjudgmental and fearless enough to connect with any and all of the answers out there.

Somebody has to be OK with not boxing up chunks of infinity. Someone has to be open to everchanging questions, everchanging answers and the truth of infinite human potential, even if most of us can’t stand to watch—even if 99.999% of us want to put a box around life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness— not to mention our afterlife benefits.

Now that I’ve mentioned the afterlife, religions are not content to box up life. They get quite a kick out of boxing up the afterlife, too.  OK, OK, sometimes the box is bigger, as in the case of Snake Handlers, sometimes it’s smaller, as in the case of Unitarians, but a box is still a box.

Let’s face it. Many of those dudes who head up religions have our afterlives in a ludicrously tiny box that we can only access by following ludicrous rules!  I’m sorry, but there are not 72 virgins awaiting anyone in the afterlife.

Why do human beings constantly gravitate towards boxed infinity and make a home for themselves in some infinitesimal part of  it?  Is it the nesting urge?  We certainly defend our philosophical boxes as if our lives depended on it.

Infinity is not meant to live inside anybody’s box.  If you want sacrilege—there’s some for you!

The problem with Infinity is, it’s pretty much an impossible concept for our logical minds to deal with, and the logical mind wants logical answers.  Infinity just ain’t logical, but ((big but)) that’s where intuition comes in.

If we want to connect with all the answers for existence and beyond, we need to be able to access infinity.  If we want to access infinity, we need to use the Yuen Method. The fact that the method pushes us toward destructuring reality as we know it might make us feel shaky at first…at second….at third.  Should something new, however,  stop us in our push towards limitless potential?   Try to put the Yuen Method into the box you already know, people, and you’ll lose most of what’s available.  Let it be!  Just feel it.

Here’s some type of conclusion to my ramblings.  If we want to learn the Yuen Method faster, we open to the possibility that it is something new, something we’ve never run across before.   We shut our logical minds off, pretty much, especially when they start rampaging in a critical direction.

We let something new seep in, if no other reason, than just to see how it affects us.

Full speed ahead!
