Quotes from Being Nature
“The Buddha… tells us to meditate on our skin and bones, our nervous system, the processes of walking, hearing, seeing, and thinking. According to the Buddha, everything we need to know about life and reality can be found inside ‘this fathom-long body.'”
“Experiencing ourself as part of biological evolution can be understood as a complete spiritual path. The fantastic story of evolving life and consciousness contains as many miracles as any bible and as much majesty as any pantheon of divinities.”
“The real shift of awareness comes when you begin to sense the fact – substantiated by chemistry and evolutionary sciences – that you are not so much on the earth as you are of the earth. If you believe in the theory of evolution then you must acknowledge that you are literally emerged from the earth and its seas, the source to which all life has been traced.”
“In meditation, the Buddha advises us to dive into the body and feel it; to become intimate with it from head to toe and inside out. Through that exploration we will come to know the body as an organic process, co-existing with the elements of nature and all of earthlife. We will come to realize that “my body” is not really mine. It’s a loaner. It is evolution’s body.”
