Movement and Rest

A span of sentience begins with a 'don't know' mind consciousness moving over an unknowable landscape. We progress - we recede, soon we may come to see that no-mind is a wave moving in and out of itself. There are two glass towers one is as tall as doubt. the other tower, as tall as faith. The no-mind continually washes over them eventually both must crumble, as sea cliffs do while they give way to a boundless expanse. Those tall towers were wave crests that must rise only to fall, at the center of that ruin no-mind is forever still, forever knowing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Gospel of Thomas: Saying 50 They asked Jesus "what is the sign of the Father in you". He replied, "Movement and Rest"
