Addresses in the Everything

“We all exist in the Everything, but our addresses are different. So are our manners of being. Some principles are often understood some distance away from their points of origin. We often live with these watered down versions. It’s the same principle, but it can be resolving at many points of value.”

There is a word being used here, ‘addresses,’ that kind of pops out at me.

Because it makes me think about the address on the front of my home. And how when I am up close I can see that address very clearly, but as I back away toward the street it becomes harder and harder to see it. Similarly, the farther away I get from my home, the harder it is to see my home. In fact, when I leave to go somewhere, it’s obscure the majority of time.

One time I heard sensei state that the reason it is hard to see spiritual beings is because they are coming out of a very bright light. The implication being that the light is so bright we either close our eyes, avert our gaze or squint.

The farther away we get, the harder it is to see.

And I think this word that I’m referring to (addresses) conveys something similar, doesn’t it? Because there are other things that we find very hard to see. Which is understandable, because the farther away we get, the harder it is to see.
