08 Jan On The Way Of The Way (O-WOW)
The Way is the fundamental principles of reality: The now is all there is; yet, what is now is now no longer as the only constant is change. Before and after the now, all is one eternal, unchanging thing: the no thing. In the now, the one thing is infinite things with infinite names. The one eternal thing is nameless for it is the everything and the no thing. On the Way of the Way (O-WOW) is realizing and living in harmony with the Way. "O" is the sound we make upon awakening to the realization of the Way. WOW is the sound of deep appreciation. The sound of WOW is made by puckering our lips as when we kiss to express our love of that to which we connect with as one....
07 Jan Mantra: NON-NOW-WOW
Before time begins, all is the NON. Upon birth, the I of the self and the NON become the NOW. With the I of the soul, the NOW is a WOW. The I of the self is red, symbolizing emotions.

Moreover, our identity is revealed by how we react when the now is disappointing relative our expectations. As people, we are upset. As God, it's funny to see people upset having taken their illusions seriously....

02 Jan Koan 32
"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him." -- Linji Yixuan In the now, there is only one thing: the everything; though the everything is manifested as a seemingly infinite number of independent things. As every thing is interdependent, essentially one thing, thinking of things (like the Buddha) as independent is but an illusion. Illusionary things create duality (the thing and all that is not the thing). On the road to enlightenment, we need to vanquish all illusions and duality to realize the oneness of the everything....
