In the zone

Standing on the bare ground, a mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.
-Emerson

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
From the Tao Te Ching

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.
Seek what they sought.
-Basho

A monk once asked Yun-men, 'What teaching goes beyond the buddhas and patriarchs?' Yun-men said, 'Sesame cake.'
Do you feel your hairs standing on end?
