The Way of the Sly Man...
Student:
I am having to make different efforts now to trick my machine so I
can stay present.
Mervyn Brady:
Yes, in the beginning a little effort will bring a little
result, so we need bigger efforts to make bigger result. And of
course the machine's (body/mind) defenses get stronger.
This is why the Work is often referred to as the way of
"the Sly Man."
There is a part of us that always wishes for the friction or pain
of life to go away. This part of us obviously has not verified that
suffering and friction are a part of the triad of awakening. To
wish our confusion and friction, which after all is the stuff of
evolution, to go away would be akin to asking the process of
evolution to stop.
We are not here to create professors, to make cool machines, to
become super men. We are here to develop our Souls. Nothing more,
which is bigger than everything.
