Blindness

A friend of mine, Clay Houston, has sent me this powerful reflection on blindness that affects our interior sight within space-time.

A blind man "believes" in light: the rest of us see it with our eyes. "Faith" is the hi-jacking of causes and conditions, a non-reality. Existence is verbs. Delusion is nouns. Suffering comes, in part, from discrimination, judgment. This is always linked to thought. The human mind breaks up the normal chain of being into suffering by worshiping permanence, which does not exist. If a man believes in permanence, he deceives himself. All reality, everything, is built of compounded entities. All entities are impermanent.. Everything is changing: it is the rate of decay that deceives. All entities are interdependent. Ethic follows this Wisdom. Thus says this Most Noble Senator.
