THE TALE OF NO ARROWS.


The great ancient parable tells a story of two arrows that can struck us. The first arrow is a challenge because we can’t always control what happens. There may be a painful illness, a financial or personal loss or some other change. Life is always in the process of transformation, it's a total movement and no separated object can be in peace because separation is a false invention of the brain.

We get stuck in a contracted perception of what is happening, in hypnosis by the META Process of thought. But we don't have to be stuck in a rut. If we study life, we can be in contact with the changing movement of reality so that the pain is only physical and for that (thanks to the modern medicine) we have painkillers!

The second arrow is our reaction to the first arrow. If it's regret, anguish, resistance (futile), what happens is psychological suffering, which is far worse than the first arrow.

The second arrow, the story tells us is optional, it's possible that it does not do us any harm.

Unitary Perception is a perception of the whole movement of reality, without a division. It is living without the horizontal conflict of subject-object and comparing "that what is" (the fact) with "that what should be" (the ideal). In the total observation of Unitary Perception time, language, symbol, paradox and resistance dissolve and all that can be is what is. Freedom is at the beginning.
