the buddha reaches the infinite quantum state, the cosmic interconnection, through the extreme supreme 'not doing' of deep meditation, deeply letting go of all phenomena.

the scientist reaches the same universal type realizations through the supreme extreme 'doing' of high powered equipment like particle accelerators and high frequency telescopic satellites, deeply embracing all phenomena.

My friend is in an art class, and his teacher instructed the class to draw the 'negative space' of an object, ie the non-object around the object, drawing the space around the chair- the outline of the shape being the same outline as if they were to draw the chair itself.



being
not being

doing
not doing

these extremes are mutually created-
one is not possible without the other.

unity is the mother of paradox
