I like this quote...

I happened to see it at...

...Which was linked at the site of the supplier of Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts I like to use for baths, footbaths, and hand baths, at a 1% solution...as 'salty'-tasting as tears.

It is even more interesting to me since the baths seem to produce a 'still' feeling as well...grounded...soothed.

"The western way is to take a heroic stance in life, to battle our way past great obstacles ... This plunge toward what we want sets up opposition in the unconscious.

The East teaches quite a different attitude ... if one finds an antagonism he is taught to withdraw the cause of the antagonism by meditation, detachment, finding a stillness in his attitude and thus bringing the opposition to a stop. If the antagonistic forces are diminished the battle will stop.

The East has described this cessation of antagonism as the Divine Nothing, The Great Void, the Stillness, the Creative Nothing, Nirvana - the Still Point.

This is not to say that one way is better than the other ... But the contrast is instructive from either point of view."
