- As for the blog's name: -


I was @ Gustav Ericsson's sight, - Anzenkai, and I was looking at Nishijima Roshi’s calligraphies over there. Particularly there is one - "seki shin hen pen" - about which Gustav has earlier said in a blog post that it is Nishijima's favorite phrase from Master Dogen.

This seemed strange to me. It was not what I would expect Nishijima Roshi's favorite phrase to be. It seemed it could be some Rinzai master's favorite quote, - it seems to express continuous and constant sincerity, - but it did not seem to fit my view of the way Nishijima Roshi saw things.

So - consequently - I tried to think what would I expect his favorite quote to be. But all phrases I could think of did not seem to fit just what I might have had in mind.

So I tried to come up with what I would see it as, - and what I have come up with - is - "this universe out here".

- And this seems to be the right name for this blog here too.


- Definitely.                                                 ________________________

Miserable world

There are verses 25-29 in chapter 32 in the book of Exodus. - (See as far as the end of the chapter) Most today would fail to understand. Most today would believe they know better. Most today would see the things as terrible, - as unacceptable, as wrong, as utterly wrong, - judging by their own measurement and their own materialistic corrupted thinking.

This is the world we live in. And the story in the verses mentioned is not widely known, - though it appears in the Bible open to all.

- Here is a test of spirituality, - here may be a test of faith or belief: - One who sees the described occurrence as most would, - as an expression of primitive minds and rough mentality and as an unacceptable expression of immorality at the verge of insanity, - does not know what spirituality is. Whatever bullshit one may still utter off one's own intellectual resources this person is ignorant of the devoidness of value of. - I could not see a way in which such a person could still be considered one of faith. Many would think otherwise, - this is our world. At this time, - that is.

- The intellectuality within which humanity and society find their way may be unthinkable. - This post will clearly be considered according to standards existing prior to reading it by the typical hard-headed intellectual contemporary people. It will change nothing in their views or their world, else than remembering that someone said such things, - perhaps. - For one who know something - not the ultimate, - just something real still, - the way in which the minds of so many idiots who may be as intelligent as they would, - work, - is unbelievable and amazing. - It is like dry dead plants in the desert, - it is like a piece of rope lying about there being pulled occasionally by the wind in comparison to a living snake. - These people are totally blind to the situation. And if one would attempt to reveal things them they would obviously think him a miserable person so far behind their idiotic advancement they imagine the society they live in have achieved. They are like empty cups who know nothing about drinks. And their surroundings are alike, - that is their neighbours would have similar views and live within similar mentality, - diminishing the hope for a change in a visible future to almost nothing. Fuck them all. Live happy. So far.



             (- Just to avoid a misunderstanding: - One who accepts what is said in the passage mentioned is not necessarily a true one of spirit or one of faith, - one may be just a fanatic, or an idiot as well.)
