Previously, I have utilized this line :
" Have in your Hold the Great Image " .
I want to thicken the understanding of "Hold" .
Our Society and Culture employs "Hold" in various uses, "Hold on, I'm coming" is the one that surfaces as most common, but Buddhism and Zen utilize "Hold" as a Mental Construct, meaning, 'Hold' 'means', to 'carry about' and never let go . This 'Hold' is VITAL to Spiritual >Progress< although it is hidden somewhat because Spirituality isn't exactly OBVIOUS to us reg'lar Folk . Holding manifests as a Default Setting, meaning, whenever there is a mental lapse in attention continuity, whatever is being 'Held' surfaces for Consciousness Re-focus .
I argue that We must 'Hold' that >>>TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED<<< . "Holding" here functions as a REMINDER that We are AT WAR --- and Our Attention SHOULD NOT be Deflected by outside stimulations that seek to KEEP Us from Revolutionary Thinking and Reformative ACTIONS . Questions arrive : Must we 'Hold' that 'Mind' 24-7 ? Or can we "Put it all down" and seek "R & R" at the end of Our day ? 2 words : BOTH .
I won't put 'IT" down, I blog "for a living" and the Question of HOW ---BY WHAT MEANS can trump be stopped is EVER-PRESENT in my 24-7 Mind, plus, I KNOW the INESTIMABLE VALUE of "Holding" because I have been a Zen Student for what seems like a KAZILLION Lifetimes...but hey....that's just me .
