Very good questions... bravo!
Reality is by definition beyond comprehension. Reality AS reality,.. reality qua reality, that is.
But the organism that can "relax" enough to allow the "tides" within the surrounding world to "show" it where it should be spending it's "decision energy" will get the greatest opportunity to recreate something quite similar to itself,.. which then in turn has to do the same thing.
The organism that can't relax and "despairs", and thus freezes up trying to hold onto "security", proves it can't surf for shit, and gets it's head ripped off on the reef.
We never defend things we don't accept. It may LOOK that way, but that's not defense we're seeing. It's habit.
And we don't struggle to accept anything. We either accept "it" or not. The apparent "struggle" is just more of that habitual behavior that comes from despair and the inability to relax and allow the world to show itself as it is.
..but that's all obvious and rather trivial. The real question is how does a being RELAX in the face of "reality"!?
Aloha!
