The Zen of being in Facebook Jail

August 3, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

I got put in FB jail yesterday for posting a Google image of a bondage mask, but that wasn’t the cause. It was my mindless panic in trying to erase the image that resulted in my reposted it three times that brought down the ax. This is like a Zen Koan in which you struggle to solve but keep getting entangled. Zen ties you in a knot that forces to break free through a mad leap, a mad act, an act that you have never down before. All your old strategies are exhausted. Breaking Out is not possible, yet you do it.

In the breaking out, you discover your true nature that is Oneness. The koan is a double-bind where no matter what you do you lose. Facebook Jail is like that. No matter what you do, you are still in jail. One must accept that there is no Exit, no Hope, and no Choice.

Ah…that’s it! Zen is coming to the realization that there is no choice, no option, that nothing you can do will make you better than you are right now. Everything comes to full STOP. You are OK…eventhough you are in jail.
