Wei-Wu-Wei
Dear InfiniVerse and all of its Inhabitants:
It has occurred to us that we have been forgetting the Lessons Learned in '99 about R e l a x a t i o n . . . For a variety of reasons (not the least of which is to help alleviate the negative Effects that dis-Stress is having on our BodyMind), we have chosen to reCapture that SoC. To wit, for our Personal Life, we have the following Declaration:
We are no longer going to engege in Stress
specifically, by Focusing on the following Statement of Intent (SoI):
We will Focus on Relaxation and Wei-Wu-Wei in All Things
...until at least the end of our Samhain Sabbatical. Consider this a Notice, a Magickal Shield, an Attitude Adjustment, a Statement of Intent, etc. As this is, by nature, a global change, it shall have a great many Effects upon all aspects of our Life--particularly in our InterActions with other Entities within it.
One way this will Manifest--to be sure--will be in our taking things much less Seriously than some people will demand (often unConsciously). This is a pre-Emptive notice to tell you that our Laughter is not in any way derogatory or personal against you. Our Laughter will be primarily at our fellow selves for "almost getting caught up" enough to ruin our moment/day/etc., followed by our NonDual perspective reMinding us of the Cosmic InSignificance of anything that we could possibly be involved in, etc. I.e., we will be Laughing at our own momentary Loss of Equilibrium.
Amongst other Changes we will be making to FulFill our Intent stated above will include the Invocation of some calm Zen Master energies, to be sure we Practice this in a Balanced Way.
Hopefully, by Practicing this unceasingly in our own Personal Life, we can better be able to not only avoid being "short" with others outside of work (which has been extremely draining in all ways lately, and a big motivator for this Notice of Change), but perhaps be able to bring some of the Relaxation/Zen Master shit to our SoC at work, and have more to give of our selves when not at work :-D
Thank you for your Understanding During this Trance-itionary Period. You may consider your Selves Served.
Sincerely and with utmost Regards and Respect,

[Edit: We just came across this excellent essay on the Philosophy of Wei-Wu-Wei. In it, the author uses Wei-Wu-Wei as a primary Way of Understanding all of the "Action without Action", "Morality without Morality", etc. He also talks about how Wei-Wu-Wei is a great example of NonDual Action, not unlike Karma Yoga in some ways. Etc.]
