  • Resumen

  • 10. A child runs through a field of wildflowers; their eyes fill with
    beauty. Another walks an open-air market, St. Rémy de
    Provence, the smell of olives and ripe melons fills her body
    with a joy. A joy untouched by word.

    When sense field and sense object meet in innocence, their
    union becomes the swelling forth of Love. How do you know
    if they have met in innocence—there is silence. Silence
    pervades perception and brings with it mysterious benediction.

    Silence flowers. An invitation is heard, received, met, entered.
    All that—before the word “desire.”

    We grow up. We become preoccupied. Pre-occupation, always
    already occupied by that complicated business and bartering of
    attraction, aversion, indifference. Mind’s figurings are
    chaotic—sense field and sense object meet in fretful concern.
    Odds are figured, interest calculated.

    There is a strange forgetting within our desiring. But, also, an
    odd remembrance, a longing. In the Himalayan mountains
    there is a mythical great white swan who, when a bowl of milk
    and water mixed is placed before her, can drink the milk and
    leave the water. Our forgetting and remembrance are water
    and milk mixed.

    Forgetting and Remembrance are not ideas but alive entities.
    Desire and Innocence too. These are living forces. And, it’s not
    so much that you are living them as they are living you. But
    you have a secret power—you decide who gets fed.

    Longing’s prayer is the invitation of Innocence. Desire’s
    demand closes doors.

    Desire claims that if you feed it, it will give you the keys to the
    kingdom of pleasure and glory. Innocence is shy and makes no
    claims—it perceives in tender silence. Mind’s chaos accustoms
    itself to the noise of ceaseless conflicting desires, but it can also
    be trained. Wants to be. Mind’s blah blah blah is a dog looking
    for a leash.

    Everything Desire claims is delivered by Innocence. The Great
    Work is a training in Innocence.
