Synopsis

Once one has become truly friendly and familiar with the naturally occurring timeless and spacious dimension of mind, there is an all-embracing readiness. And why is that? Because one cannot achieve that competence and readiness without having been schooled in a profound discernment process. That process teaches in exquisitely equanimous detail (that is, balanced) why the conceptual dimension of mind needs to be balanced by the non-conceptual, otherwise it often acts like a rogue warhorse. Civility, civil equity, civil equilibrium freed of the hateful perception that our differences are divisive, rather than a source of our democratic strength--these ideals so eloquently stated in the Declaration of Independence--cannot be achieved until and unless we approach our failures to achieve them with open equanimous minds. If the mental tools are imbalanced, the application of those tools will be also. Not maybe. Necessarily. If the ship of state lacks equilibrium and lists because of egregious imbalance, it will never make a safe and secure passage to the Port of Equality. Straightening this boat's deck chairs with geometric precision won't make a damn bit of difference to its sea worthiness. Until a majority of us are prepped with an all-embracing readiness from a balanced mental equanimity, willy-nilly we will continue to be awash with civil discord, civil contentiousness and malicious civil confrontation.
