Beware false Gods, who inflict sources of pain to pretend to God. Beware false Gurus, who pretend to be supremely sensitive to pain but are pretending for attention.

Beware that which sells a Heaven away from Hell because that couldn't possibly be right. Heaven and Hell are the same. And once you realize that, your world becomes whole.

Stop running away from the present to the future of a Heaven, you make the present a Hell this way. Face the Hell of now and realize that attending to the tasks at hand is what allows you to always look forward towards Heaven.

Heaven is the act of looking forwards to Heaven. You can only be in Heaven when you realize that you'll never reach it. To look onwards to heaven is to stand outside of it. To stand outside the gates of heaven is to lie within it. A gateless gate.

Looping back to the China thought... It's easy to have contempt for people who we believe don't believe in the same bright future we do.

Fear of another makes us reject them. We want OUR future only but that can't possible work with 2 people co-creating the future. We MUST either remove them, or make it so that they're working for OUR future.

It is the fear of losing Heaven that causes one to want to capture it and so creates a Hell on earth by trying to enter it first or keep others from it.

The US relationship with China is reflective of all our modern issues... Whether it's with our partners, friends, colleagues, bosses, neighbors, etc... Whether we like it or not we're co-creating this Universe together. That "Other" will always be there.
