Have you wondered how much we train? It's more than just the sessions we spend with a large group of people... as we are sitting in our little rooms we train our mind to be at home...we train our eyes to familiarize itself with what it sees and not what we think it sees....we train our noses to appreciate smells which eventually fade....we train our ears to stay with the moment and avoid being carried away by sounds....we are constantly tasting this world between our tongue and palate....Lastly we're touching the keyboards which allow words to come through the vast infinite internet into computers the other side of the word....

Amazing huh?

The training that I've learned was hard....learning to use the left hand....sustained a flesh wound on right palm while training.... Noticed how awkward and uncomfortable it is to brush your teeth, wash dishes and even eat with only the left hand...

Never had to force myself to use the left hand before....the unnoticed....quietly ignorant hand....didn't know how to brush it's owner's teeth....even being attached for 2 decades....

So what other parts of us are ignorant?

So my motto of the month is SHOW YOUR IGNORANCE.... how uncomfortable can that be eh? Just the notion of it makes the ego shrivel and cringe....yay.... Why distort what you don't know to make it seem like you know....how stupid is that.....

Perhaps with time...we'll notice discomfort of ignorance when it arises....and allow that to be....not resist the mere temptation to defend this 'little-self' but defend a higher purpose to dispel the bliss of ignorance....be wise enough to sit still and watch every impermanent moment move unaffected through the mind....

It's never too late to learn....
