Let go of race. Let go of gender. Let go of pride. Let go of signs. Let go of titles. Let go of positions & perspectives. Let go of form. Let go of purpose. Let go of thought. Let go of gravity. Let go of hearing.
The universe is just wishy-washy mushy nonsense. Definitions are constructs of a mind that is also wishy-washy mushy nonsense.
I know this is a radical notion that would be impossible to live by, as human beings. Yet, I believe it is something worth considering, and something to practice. Hence why I practice Zen & have an attraction to surrealism.
Our way of living was formed by our reaction to the external. Our thoughts are consequence of what we fill our mind with.
This is to say that separation, self, society, morality, etc. have been constructed; and they can also be deconstructed.
Yes, we need something to believe in, and some kind of science to build our life upon.
BUT, you also need to remember that there is no you or that!
There IS value in the reality you choose to accept, but the value is only weighed by how tightly you hold onto it.
Sometimes, you need to just let go.
