Born Between Expansion and Contraction: Responding to the Needs of Your Larger Identity ~ Shinzen

Shinzen Young references the arising and passing stage found in Buddhaghosa's Visuddhimagga. He mentions the next stage of detection "when something arises it is already passing." He speculates on its temporal and spatial perception, including the simultaneous expansion and contraction of inner and outer sensory spaces.
Shinzen talks about Zen's riding the ox backward and literally praying continuously with each sensory event as a tangible contact with the source. He goes on to talk about how expansion and contraction animate the life of a primary star and how we are literally made of stardust, galaxies, atoms, the observable universe, the cosmological constant, and virtual particles.
Shinzen mentions experiencing the oneness of inside and outside and how that naturally and spontaneously facilitates responding to our larger identity at subtle, descriptive, and prescriptive levels.

Studying the maps forever, appears to be an academic's habituated behavior.
