    You’re only making a mess by trying to put things straight. You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world and no wonder you’re in trouble.

    Words and measures do not give life; they merely symbolize it.

    We discover ourselves to be beings that are hostile to the environment and that are bent on dominating it as a point of destruction.

    When we do what we think we desire with technology, we are as it were blowing up our image of ourselves to enormous proportions. Many of us are beginning to realize that we don't like that.

    We keep counting time. We have the sensation time is running out, and we bug ourselves with this. Time is nothing but an abstract measure of motion. We are living in an eternal Now.

    So, you see, it takes two. We could have so much fun, but it takes more than one, and she don’t wanna! But in this way, you see, what we call duality—you can see, can’t you, how duality is fundamental. It takes two.

    In other words, if my finger, up here, is all alone, and the wind doesn’t move, and nothing touches it, it stops knowing that it’s there. But if something comes along and does tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch; immediately, it’s aware that it’s there.

    This depends upon seeing that you have no choice but to be aware—because you cannot separate yourself from the present and cannot define it. You can refuse to admit this, but only at the cost of the immense and futile effort of spending your whole life resisting the inevitable.

    Be aware, alert, and sensitive to the present moment always, in all actions and relations whatsoever, beginning at this instant.

    Especially when you realize that the world outside your skin is as much yourself as the world inside. For want of this awareness, no one can be more belligerent than a pacifist on the rampage, or more militantly nationalistic than an anti-imperialist.

    If we want justice for minorities and cooled wars with our natural enemies, whether human or non-human, we must first come to terms with the minority and the enemy in ourselves and in our own hearts, for the rascal is there as much as anywhere in the “external” world.

    Nor will it do to confront the opposition in public with polite and nonviolent sit-ins and demonstrations, while boosting our collective ego by insulting them in private.

    These hatreds are not going to be healed, but only inflamed, by insulting those who feel them, and the abusive labels with which we plaster them—squares, fascists, rightists, know-nothings—may well become the proud badges around which they will rally and consolidate themselves.

    In any foreseeable future there are going to be thousands and thousands of people who detest and abominate Negroes, communists, Russians, Chinese, Jews, Catholics, beatniks, homosexuals, and “dope-fiends.”

    Za-zen, or sitting Zen, is a very, very good thing in the Western world. We have been running around far too much.

    You've really got to assume responsibility for it. You've got to say “yes” to what happens.

    Just as you have to stop talking to hear what I have to say, you have to stop thinking to find out what life is about. And the moment you stop thinking, you come into immediate contact with what Korzybski called, so delightfully, ‘the unspeakable world’ — the nonverbal world.
