Pick up for flight in one hour . . . You awake Missy?" One hotter than usual night in Bangkok, I found myself reading a familiar story which peaked my curiosity. The story centered on Arjuna, a young archer, who was about to shoot a bird. Before Arjuna could let the arrow fly from his bow, his master came to him and told him to stop. The master asked Arjuna to look towards the target and tell him what he actually saw. Arjuna looked and said that he saw a bird perched on the branch of the tree. His master became very stern and told him to look again. Hiis time, Arjuna told his master that he saw only the head of the bird. Arjunas master was not pleased with the answer and commanded him to look once again. Arjuna looked and said that he saw only the eye of the bird. The master Now let the answered, arrow fly!

My mind whizzed over every Tibetian teaching, Hindu every writing, every Zen Buddist paradox and everything fell into an order so obvious that I couldnt believe that it had escaped me for so long. Every teaching had the same objective at the center even though they had dif- ferent The techniques. teachers wanted 100 percent attention on goal . . . No, not just 100 percent attention but 101 percent attention! There had to be a total loss of self consciousness . . . The goal must become the rue self and the true self must become the goal!
