Hi Brandon. Basically, we are all trying to crack a walnut with a chainsaw. That which is easy to understand becomes a stumbling block, and we trip over the obvious. The solution, is to simply accept AS IT IS. Mind has delusions of Grandeur in that it must find answers to something it cannot understand. Meanwhile creativity can be seen a Path to the infinite. Delusion and breaking down the component parts. Instead of trying to compare Zen and the ONE as two separate entities, observe them as one in two different guises. There are infinite possibilities from a single entity. The three hundred million aspects of Brahma, (and/or), three hundred million interpretations of the single Brahma. Yet, every interpretation is correct and absolute. Today I destroyed a thousand walnuts, when I should had simply used a nutcracker. The forbidden fruit laid hidden inside and uneaten. I love metaphors.
