The so-called "cave monk" is an active participant in creative liberation. One need not be "in _your_ face" in order to directly face what's already in one's own, as it is, wisely navigating the existential realities of modernity, casting ripples of influence in every direction.

In part I am pointing directly at an change in ones essential nature (being). I described an exercise a bit ago "Doors" it seems very likely to me that despite years and thousands of hours of seated practice that everyone who attempts this exercise will fail at the effort.

I also wish to make clear how much your work and generosity are appreciated by me. Interesting that so many people rated your post. Can you do the work they should do? Next post sums the dilemma I see it. The last line.

The trail is cold. trailblazers having become dust, the Masters of the way dead, long past even the blood trail discarded in favor of the easier way.

Can one's essential nature actually change, though? Through contemplative practice (Doors included), one chips away at and dissolves the layers of sedimentation that have formed around the essential nature so that what was there all along may be discovered, uncovered, recovered.

The cold trail thaws as those with warm blood tread its winding paths. In this sense, practice is very much alive, in the world but not _of_ the world.
