Wood Chopping

Have you ever - and I mean *ever*! - seen any of these religion top
guys chopping their own water and carrying their own wood?

Answer - no.

They sit on a cushion and endeavour to look enlightened.

Whilst their disciples tell the students to get to work on the whole
chopping deal.

I absolutely reject the whole chopping concept.

It is a *trap* to misguide people, to mislead them and just one of
about a million devices designed from keeping people to ever find out
anything REAL about enlightenment processes.

Of course, these top religion guys are NOT examples of enlightenment
because you'd no more hang around on a cushion all day than you would
be chopping wood.

I guess there are certain things that need to be done, whatever. If
you're a baby, you suck in milk. When you're a troglodyte, you club
things over the head and strip their skins off.

When you're some sort of monk, you chop wood and carry water.

It seems the necessary thing to do at the time.

But please let us not even begin to claim that we have *any* idea as
to what might need to be done once you get *past* and I really mean
PAST that chopping deal.

Chopping wood is NOT the end stage of human totality development.

Thank goodness.

PS.

"Grasshopper, what is the sound of one hand clapping?"

"Master, I have handed over this question to the higher processing
system. What else can I do for you?"

"Ah, I'm a bit low on water ... and on wood ..."
