Enlightenment, an appropriate response.
I love this! Just noticed it this morning. One of the professors I have worked with for 5 years met the Eagle yesterday. He was a prolific researcher and probably one of the best teachers I have ever had the honor of being taught by. I dont know why this phrase and he go together but they do.
Essential Zen
To begin to understand you must cut off knowing and seeing, forget gain and loss, and become purified, naked, and perfectly at ease; each and every one must investigate on his own.

Galileo Galilei: "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."

“Enlightenment, an appropriate response”... I mentioned that in chat a couple weeks back to Gonzo and was surprised he and others were unfamiliar with it. The day before I shared it in chat my Yoga teacher had said the phrase in one of her classes which I attended. It sounded right fine to me then so I took note of it. I seem to remember that she was discussing loss when she share it with the class.
