Woe is Me
Not indifferent to the devastating effects of illness, Unborn Mind Zen possesses the necessary tools to transcend the lamentable “Woe is me” mentality. As an integral part of the skandhic-landscape, one should anticipate the occasional pangs of sickness, for it is an inherent symptom of mortal existence. Unborn Mind Zen advises embracing these experiences without becoming excessively fixated on the accompanying symptoms, as they are a natural part of the healing process.
A Boundless Journey
Seeking the path of enlightenment through physical means is a reckless pursuit that will only lead to immense disappointment. It is akin to attempting to unravel the profound wisdom of the universe by peering through a kaleidoscope-like lens tainted with the complexities of karma, where everything is in a perpetual state of flux and transformation. However, by solely engaging in the practice of Mind Recollecting Mind, one can unlock the gateway to the eternal realm of Deathless Suchness, where tranquility reigns supreme.

Delusion
For certain individuals, the comprehension of the Unborn can be deceptively facile. It remains superficial, confined to the realm of intellect, devoid of a holistic pursuit. It is akin to a contemporary Christian who possesses knowledge of Jesus but fails to penetrate the core of the transformative message of Christ, the Christos Element, whose anointment serves as the vivifying spark of the illuminative Unborn Light itself. Just as someone may mistakenly believe in their salvation solely due to the presence of Catholic patches on their shoulders, similarly, an individual enamored by a shallow and perplexing perception of the Unborn lacks the essential self-realization of the Transcendent-Event within themselves.

Infatuation
Being captivated by the allure of samsara’s myriad facets will inevitably lead to a dishonorable demise. Should one take a moment to contemplate their own samsaric circumstances, they will undoubtedly discern the catalyst that unleashes the relentless forces of suffering. Becoming infatuated with either the opposite or same sex will ensnare one in the shackles of emotional captivity. Likewise, an infatuation with one’s offspring can foster an unhealthy reliance in later years, while an infatuation with animals, such as beloved pets, can inflict profound anguish upon their human companions when they inevitably age and depart, leaving behind a desolate and sorrowful void. Succumbing to an infatuation with the world’s riches only serves to bind one completely to the treacherous allure of dark desires and materialistic entrapment. All of these pursuits represent the ignoble quest that ultimately culminates in self-annihilation.
