A Story




 A Story...

Here is a story about a monk. An elder monk strolled past a young monk in an obvious state of self pity.  The elder monk instructed the self pitying monk to stand on one foot and extend his arms.  Immediately the monk's "I"s (thoughts) ceased and his state of being lifted.  Mechanical intellect cannot function when the body is in a strange position.  Negative "I"s do not exist in the moment!  They are a byproduct of the past which can never exist when we are present.
