To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged.

[Shin'Ar]

The reason for the monk's detached demeanor to the soldier's threat is because the monk has achieved awareness of his true nature and thus understands that the disintegration of his temporary form does not equate to obliteration of his true form and that the transitory phase which the phenomenon of death as is experienced in this world will lead to the next phase in the movement towards the fountainhead. The monk has gained wisdom of the stillness necessary when traversing through the vortex. The monk comprehends himself as Oneness with All and thus knows that all will unfold as it should, even his own death if it should come at that time through the soldier's hands.

There you go again GWV, speaking so casually of this "stillness". It appears and disappears in a sentence and most have no idea what you extraordinary truth you have just let free from your lips. I have heard you speak of this 'stillness/emptiness' before.

For the sake of all here, please try to delve into the meaning of that. It is so vital to our true realities. I know it is difficult and we have spoken just discussed this recently ourselves, but try to see if you can further elaborate on that and 'connect' with it, so that many here might benefit from it.
