TURIYA (EXCERPTS FROM A READING)

Because it's a little hard in this nothingness, this tathata, this suchness, but even nothingness like everything else, like all the archetypes, they all have a positive and a negative side to them. If I am experiencing the unfamiliar how can nothingness be both positive and negative? Probably what we are talking about is the way in which we respond to nothingness, the negative component, the I didn't get what I wanted therefore... I look at it and I say, hey, that;s great, part says, I read ten books the next stage is the confrontation with it that I can't keep saying "Oh god while I have you on the line when do I come into the great enlightenment" What is your best Zen line ? Before enlightenment I chopped wood and carry water, after enlightnment I chop wood and carry water.
