RE: Ape to Angel - Waking up to what is there
Greetings Nikolay and thank you!
Yes, the Monkey King was not calm, but he was sent on a journey of enlightenment with a Buddha priest, to grow and learn as you said. I think that the message behind the story was that we are little more than monkeys and that we need to cultivate being human.
This is the hard part, cause in our nature we are just the chemicals in our heads. For example if a girl like a guy who is masculine, beard, chest hair, well developed body, deep voice and after a 4 weeks in a relationship with this man she is starting to complain about it cause he wants the stuff to be done in his way cause the same thing that gives him the masculinity is the same thing that makes him go into a rhubarb for stupid stuff, the testosterone. It's really hard to have sober thought, cause first we have to realise that we are just animals and we have to build ourselves on that. It's good to implement science in everyday stuff. We are chemistry... Literally.
Ooh there is another lesson we can get from that story: We hate what we love...
We all have a duality to our natures that we will always oscillate between our extremes to some degree.
Long story short. yes, I аbsolutely agree with you.
