Ocean View In order to ride the waves of samsaric existence, you must first realize, that you are the ocean of Being. Wet, frightened, bewildered, thrashing in the waves, tossed by the surf, distress so extreme, we cannot see the Oceanic Position. But when understanding dawns and one's condition is realized, standing as the Ocean, the waves are seen from a new perpsective. The very recognition and process of purification subsides the watery storms and the waves that do appear diminish in power. And perhaps in due time, even tsunamis of crisis and transition need not cause suffering but are experienced within the vast and open Ocean View. June 16, 2001 (3 of 3)
