Evolution of love

A Thousand Names for Joy

"The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil".

The Darkness, the Void, the space that the mind is terrified to enter,

is the beginning of all life.

It's the womb of being.

Fall in love with it, and when you do,

it will immediately be taken from you, as you witness the birth of light.

The Tao doesn't take sides.

It embraces both the darkness and the light.

They're equal.

The Master can't take sides.

She's in love with reality, and reality includes everything—

both sides of everything. Her arms are open to it all.

She finds everything in herself: all crimes, all holiness.

She doesn't see saints as saints or sinners as sinners;

they're just people who are suffering or not, believing their thoughts or not.

She doesn't see any difference between states of consciousness.

What's called bliss and what's called ordinary mind are equal;

one is not a higher state than the other.

There's nothing to strive for, nothing to leave behind.

There's only one, and not even that.

It doesn't matter how you attempt to be disconnected, that's not a possibility.

Believing a stressful thought is an attempt to break the connection.

That's why it feels so uncomfortable.
