One of us better think of something new here in this note
before one of us begins to get too bored with all this.
This note is about
the animals.
They cannot understand even
if they have been trained to read things like this. It
would even be cruel to say to a poor animal, “You stupid
beast, you cannot understand anything!” Such statements
are best kept for dull normal humans-of-the-Earth.
Sure, you saw that one coming. So what? This note
is about how one of us better think of something new about
all this. How many times do I have to repeat this to
you?
This note is about the
new, which, as you must know by now is not
mere repetitions of the term, “the new”. So
there is the new (with italics)
and “the new” (with scare-quotes). Try
to see the difference more extensively or go eat some dog
food.
This note is
not merely a “note”,
but more importantly it is this school
of Note Zen. So wake-up to
something before you go to the next school
of “Note Zen” or whatever it is.
Going beyond terms like “The New” (J.
Krishnamurti) and “Note Zen” (Po Chang), we arrive
at “Basic
Goodness” (Chögyam Trungpa), which then leads us
into what this note is really about: versatile
consciousness. Give it a shot.
