$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Well, he thought, since neither \ | Aristotelian Logic nor the disciplines | | of Science seemed to offer much hope, | | it's time to go beyond them... | | | | Drawing a few deep even breaths, he | | entered a mental state practiced only | | by Masters of the Universal Way of Zen. | | In it his mind floated freely, able to | | rummage at will among the bits and | | pieces of data he had absorbed, | | undistracted by any outside | | disturbances. Logical structures no | | longer inhibited him. Pre-conceptions, | | prejudices, ordinary human standards | | vanished. All things, those previously | | trivial as well as those once thought | | important, became absolutely equal by | | acquiring an absolute value, revealing | | relationships not evident to ordinary | | vision. Like beads strung on a string | | of their own meaning, each thing | | pointed to its own common ground of | | existence, shared by all. Finally, each | | began to melt into each, staying itself | | while becoming all others. And Mind no | | longer contemplated Problem, but became | | Problem, destroying Subject-Object by | | becoming them. | | | | Time passed, unheeded. | | | | Eventually, there was a tentative | | stirring, then a decisive one, and | | Nakamura arose, a smile on his face and | | the light of laughter in his eyes. | | | \ -- Wayfarer / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
