SHACK 4148 BOX

 I knew a Vicar and he always quoted 'lean not to your own understanding' and Peace I leave you, not as the peace the world understands it, but the peace that goes beyond all understanding'. 'Buddha through suffering, impermanence and desire'

When faced with a problem that the mind cannot solve sometimes by 'going outside your own box' not by going to theorise or brain storm, but to realise that the mind and the stored experiences, beliefs, agendas and cultural religious inculcation has no answers then 'lean not to your own understanding' be still, breathe and rest and reach the quiet empty mind, in fact there is no mind when it is empty, there is just awareness if one does not get restless or fall asleep. Then one can experience the 'peace that passes all understanding' and sometimes answers do spontaneously arise from that quietness or it does not seem to matter anymore. 

In that stillness suffering, desire and the fear of impermanence melts and in both cases as above one has gone 'outside one's box so to speak.
