Taoism/Wicca/Zen/Mysticism: "BE ONE WITH EXISTENCE"
Dance!
Buddhism/Asceticism/Yogis: "SIT AND STARE AT THINGS"
Detach. Sever yourself, and be deprived (or delirious and "blissed out" from lack of nutrition/ human contact)
The reason you don't see too many women yogis starving themselves up in the alps, is because we recognize that we are here to give birth and to sustain life. And that means taking care of ourselves and our bodies. We don't tend to start these epic wars over ideologies, because in the end, we're like okay, that was fun and all...(!) but our top priority is to nurture these new Beings and make sure they have a safe world to live in.
Perhaps if we were all to recognize and take our places in the natural rhythm and cycles of life, it would result in less of a desire to "escape into nothingness," "attain enlightenment," or "fly away to heaven," and more of a desire to embrace, explore, and enjoy the intricate weavings of our existence-- to find beauty, meaning and Heaven right here on planet Earth. ♥
