Are you awake?

[tadeus]

This is when the "Middle Way" becomes interesting?
As much as I despise the "Elites" because the basis of their superiority-complex is through selfishness and greed. The best defense is offense, in the fact that we should be nonchalant, to the point of ignoring them, (yet also being aware of what is happening). Remaining neutral and alert. Be cautious and detached by World events. In my worldview, Zen always takes the superior position, and everything else is only supposition. Remain in stillness and acknowledge the Higher Goal that is yet to be achieved. Obviously, the "Elites" have a lower mindset than those who are Spiritually Aware. Meanwhile, have pity on them for their ignorance. Their time has not yet come, (only in their delusions).

What is the "Middle Way"?

I would say the middle way is to balance everything:
live <-> work
capitalizm <-> poverty
intellect <-> spirituality
knowledge <-> faith
companionship <-> solitude
passivity <-> activity
... <-> ...

Zen always takes the superior position, and everything else is only supposition

It would be wonderful if i could reduce everything to this.  
There is always the question "Why i am here?"
So Zen is for me to see everything that happens now.
