Anonymous User asked: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. One falls off and is replaced at the end of the line. What does this represent?
My answer is that in meditation the point is not necessarily to decipher meaning, but to appreciate the world for what it is. Like a waterfall, a thing we understand as both a fixed place and something that is constantly changing, we can come to understand that contradiction is not abhorrent to the universe, only our need for clear answers. Even to say that watching this infinite repeat is there to remind us of the cyclical nature of everything is in itself a meaning imposed from the outside. Let go. To find peace you sometimes must put to rest need for the definitive. All things are transient, and though the flow of time itself seems eternal it too one day shall fall over the edge and be replaced anew. hope that helps anon
