Letting go is not quite right. This is more akin to yielding and receptivity, without the doership of "I." The process is ever unfolding grace, unstained by intention or expectation if genuine.
I am the chameleon of the Cosmos,
The salamander of salvation!
"...through kensho, one now sees differences in and through the aspect of sameness." - Roshi Philip Kapleau
That is, I precede differentiation and I am ever aware of an inchoate confirmation of our essential, common emptiness.
I agree wholeheartedly with the "identical attainment" promise of Zen. Religions of faith fail us with their gods and idols. For me the appeal of Zen and the yoga's was their assurance that I, too, would see and feel exactly as Masters of old: with the complete conviction of someone who has confirmed a science experiment. Now my task is to integrate this open global sense into something of primacy in my ordinary life.
