When I finally am able to fully inhabit the Oxymoronic Tao, it will be because I've become adept at living both outside and inside of time. I will adore our special snatch of history with the liberated compassion that comes from being blended with the eleven-dimensional consciousness of the NonBinary Logos—even as I exult in being ground up by the wheels of linear time; even as I exercise my skill for joyfully plucking the essential teaching from each perplexing, glorious, shattering, victorious moment; even as I thrill to the majestic spectacle of my body constantly transforming into different versions of itself, all its atoms regularly exchanged for new ones in the cyclical interplay of apocalypse and rebirth.
That's not quite happening with the completeness I hope it will someday. My wild heart isn’t ripe enough. I have not achieved the knack of being torn apart and woven back together a hundred times a day by life's wrenching insistence on cramming delight and loss into every perception. Three times a day, yes, and eight on a good day. But not yet a hundred.
I do have an ever-growing tolerance for, even a budding attraction to, being simultaneously seared and comforted by extravagant beauty and desolate longing. But I am not yet strong enough to surrender to the nonstop searing and comforting. And I will need to do that if I want to feel at home full-time in the Oxymoronic Tao.
I am more than halfway there, though. I know what it's like to be annihilated by the pouring-out-of-my-skin empathy I feel for all the other creatures I live among. And I know what it's like to reel with rapture as I am rocked by the visceral thrill of my blood resonating with your blood, of my nerves reliving the memory that they are made of the same stardust yours are.
Someday I will hum, ever-changing and ever-constant, in the grip of both those states simultaneously. Not just in rare fits of agonizing joy, but on an ongoing basis. As a constant meditation. As a daily spiritual practice.

"The valley spirit never dies;
It is the woman, primal mother.
Her gateway is the root of heaven and Earth.
It is like a veil barely seen.
Use it; it will never fail."
~ Lao Tsu,
'Tao te Ching'

I finally got to try Shaman King: Power of Spirit after all these years !
I wanted to use it for GHOST for that Halloween Challenge, but there was a delay getting started. But, this may have been for the best
