THINKING GLOBALLY

We may feel that we are not capable of touching the ultimate dimension but that isn’t correct. We have done it already. The problem is how to do it more deeply and more frequently. The phrase “Think globally,” for example, is in the direction of touching the ultimate dimension. When we see things globally, we avoid many mistakes and we have a more profound view of happiness and life. The spot you are standing on includes the whole earth. When you practice walking meditation, you realize that with each step you take, you are touching the whole earth. When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything. The same is true of time. When you touch one moment with deep awareness, you touch all moments. If you live one moment deeply, that moment contains all the past and all the future in it. When you drink a cup of tea very deeply, you touch the present moment and you touch the whole of time.
