It’s only Words…

A philosophy professor gave a one question exam by placing his chair atop a table & asking the class to use everything they had learnt to prove that the chair doesn't exist.

Fingers flew & notebooks filled to refute the chairs existence.

One student however finished in a minute & when he got an 'A' other students demanded to see his answer. The professor then showed them his paper with two words: "What chair?"

While the journey is about going beyond words, it is the word that enables this! And any tool or step is as important as where it takes you surely!? So the trick is to not get stuck in- but wholly use , appreciate & embrace- the tool so it can fully do its purpose; so while we come from and go back into nothingness....without The Word we would never have known it!

'The Word’ is at its deepest a tool of oneness and union. Because it is ‘The Word’ (communication) that allows each individuation, even in separation, to know of their Oneness. It is ‘The Word’ that allows you even in your perceived separation to know of your inner union. It is ‘The Word’ that brings together the far flung spaces you occupy into the one path back home.

Words first help, then limit, then come in the way…till we finally use words to go beyond words.

Words belong to the mind, the mind arises in separation and thus words can only help us define the separation, understand the separation and then form a bridge out of it…but finally we must get off the bridge!
